Earbuds with active noise canceling Tronsmart Air and Air+
One of the best-selling earpieces of the last year Apollo Air and Air+ both feature hybrid ANC noise cancellation which eliminates up to 35dB in low, mid and high frequencies. There are three ANC modes that users can choose from to suit the individual’s needs: ANC On that blocks any surround sound; ANC Off that allows users to focus on the music, and of course, Ambient Mode – enhancing the ambient sounds around users while listening to music without being fully isolated from the outside world;
Qualcomm’s flagship QCC3046 chip makes listening to music in earpieces an incredible experience while TWS+ synchronous transmission technology ensures a faster transmission and lower latency to deliver an immersive personal audio experience whilst reducing battery consumption. One of the most impressive features of the earbuds is the smart app control. Users can use the app to personalize the equalizer however they like, so if users prefer more treble in mix or less bass, it’s very easy to adjust with this app.
The Tronsmart Apollo Air+ however has some extra tricks up its sleeve. As well as the fantastic features above, Air+ also comes with an instant in-ear detection feature that will pause music when remove them from ears, making them a good accessory to have at the office and on the go. The charging is made easier on the go because they can be charged wirelessly on compatible charging pads, making it even better than ever to ensure they never run out of battery.
Super loud 60W speaker for parties – Tronsmart Bang
The Tronsmart Bang is an affordable 60W portable speaker that packs a lot of punch and can deliver nice stereo sound, via a couple of tweeters and two large woofers. Featuring SoundPulse technology, the Tronsmart Bang is designed to deliver a louder sound level than the average Bluetooth speaker can manage.

The Bang produces an immersive, beat-driven light show using multi-colored LEDs that phase, pulse and shine to the music. The speaker can also be synced with up to 100 other Tronsmart Bangs and they will all pulse and play together.

The Tronsmart Bang has up to 15 continuous hours of battery life at 50% volume and will fully charge in 4.5 hours. It can also be used to power smartphone instead of plugging it into a wall while users are on the go. Moreover, the Tronsmart smartphone app includes a graphic equalizer that enables the user to switch between a choice of tonal pre-sets as a user-customizable setting.
The Poly Sync 40 is one of three new speakers that is now available and is an ideal solution for either home or office use and not only this you can use it as a standard bluetooth speaker for pumping out the tunes and it is quite good too, This speaker is a really well built and designed speaker it must be said and looks well in any setting.
What makes this unit stand out is the connectivity options at hand here and you can connect via bluetooth or cable and the cable is stowed underneath the unit which is a nice touch. The build quality is great and the looks to match with a cloth finish up top and you get two full width bars and touch sensitive buttons which are simple to use, in fact using this is a simple affair no matter what way you look at it.
We have intuitive easy to use touch controls on board here too which is nice these are placed on the bottom half of the speaker on the top, you get Bluetooth pairing,volume controls audio muting and the option to control calls taken with the speaker itself and on the side you have a power button, USB port and a pairing button again if you wish to link another speaker.
All this makes for an easy speaker unit to control and this is what you get alongside its solid sturdy build and it does look great I have to say so it will not look out of place at home or in the office, but it does not stop there this can be used in a personal capacity too which means you can connect your device to it for personal music and again it does a really great job here and for me serves good enough to save you buying a second speaker for music you can hear the samples below in the video review.
Poly Sync 40
What really stands out is the light bars which I really like and these change colour with audio levels it is a really cool feature you expect to see on more modern home us speakers for audio so this unit is trying to give users that element making it feel more like a hybrid model giving you those light effects if this is what you ate into and it looks great having both bars fill the top and bottom of the speaker.
What Poly have created here is a simple effective speaker that can be used at home or in the office and they have pulled it off with its simplicity and ease of use and not only that it is portable enough too making it versatile and in this segment of such speakers it is something you do not see to often.
The Poly Sync 40 conference speaker was sent to us to review with no input,preview or monetary reward they are seeing the review the same time as you.
It is now festive season and no better time to check out a new speaker if you are in the market for one even if it is just for yourself or a gift this speaker is one to look at and has all the bells and whistles you would expect from one and with SOUL being a well known brand some of you may have some of their headphones and earphones as is this is a nice addition to have at your disposal.
This is your typical cylindrical shaped speaker and the same goes for size which makes it portable so it can be brought to the beach,picnic or camping and so on as it also sports an IP66 rating making it the ideal piece of tech to bring with you not having to worry about the weather or if sat beside the pool. The build quality is robust with rubber feet and housing and a cloth material covering the rest of the unit so it is a clean simple design.. You also get a lanyard and carabiner for extra portability and security.
There is buttons on the front paced vertically for track control calls and more and also you can pair another unit if you like to get an even better stereo sound effect, as it stands the sound is good as you will see in the video below. Most prominent on the speaker is the radiators and then we have got the lighting effects which really enhances the mood and they change colour according to the beat but this can be turned off if you wish not to have the lights flashing..

When it comes to ports you have got all the options needed, You get Aux in, TF card, USB and drive slot and this also enables you to charge your phone on the go if needed so overall it is pretty handy having that feature on board.
Sound is great and it is punchy with bass, it is bass heavy so for anyone looking for bass this is one to look at and in general it sounds great hitting all the notes well and no distortion at full volume either so you can fill the room you are in for example if having a party at home..
If you are looking for a new speaker check this one out it is not expensive and has everything you require to keep you going on the move too with an IP66 rating and the option to charge your phone too it is not be sniffed at.

Controls and lights

Or via the supplied usb dongle. Each option connection to a phone or windows laptop seamlessly worked as expected. The setup works with voice control for Siri, Google Assistant, Cortana Press
Compatibility
Slight niggle:
The kit comes with a USB dongle with a pouch inside the carry case, the dongle could fall out over time and would prefer to see a zip / fastener to prevent the loss on the USB dongle.
Audio:
When used as a Loudspeaker, for your day to day music the frequency response of the Poly Sync 20 is 80 Hz to 20 kHz, the low end on the frequency spectrum between 20Hz to 80Hz is ideal for music but lacking on this unit .
To give a comparison Amazon Alexa has a frequency range of 30Hz to 24kHz while it does not have the features on this multi unit kit . Overall the lower frequency is only observed by an avid music fan, but not pronounced on its primary use of a conference speaker / mic kit .
Overall
The unit is a multipurpose speaker, conference unit which as expected from the Poly brand ( Previously Plantronics) has great audio and ease of use in connection. This unit came with minimum fuss in terms of accessories , carry case, USB dongle , carry strap with a hardwired USB cable resulting in a universal kit option for hybrid use in any environment . The features in terms of MS teams approved, various colours, red on mute , green in use or light bar to view the volume level is practical in any meeting. The kit has been used in noisy environments with industrial machinery in the background and again the background was suppressed ensuring the conversations and accents were heard no matter where sitting in the room. The portable option to fit into a Laptop bag and carrier around gave additional convenience in the use of this speaker. This is a kit which is highly recommended in terms of ease of use, portability , multipurpose options , from a known quality brand, hard to fault this kit.

Fancy a new bluetooth speaker that has an IPX7 rating which means you can take it to the beach and more well this one should be on your radar from Tronsmart with their new Splash 1. With Bluetooth 5.0 that offers a stable connection and also quite cool is the lighting effects on it. With a solid built too this is quite robust and will last and also can take a beating if dropped.
Unlike the Studio wireless recently reviewed here this is made with plastic all round with a fabric coating on top akin to a larger google home mini design it feels robust in the had and built to last with a lanyard to strap to your wrist or around your neck or whatever suits which makes it very portable.
Controls are very simple here and placed on top with raised rubber keys and easy to perform the task at hand, you can skip and reverse tracks, play and pause music too and also take calls on the fly with this speaker which makes for a clear conversation. There is no app support here like you would find in some of their products but overall the sound is quite good with a nice touch of bass thrown in and all other aspects of the audio quality is quite good and well balanced so you will not be disappointed.
Check out the video below for more on the speaker and how the controls work and if you have any questions as always you know what to do..
FEATURES.
Premium Dual Drivers with Passive Radiator for Tonal Balance.
The P100x is the latest offering from Airpulse, the renowned speaker designer and manufacturer. The P100x features a pair of patented custom-designed tweeters and 4.5” aluminum diaphragm mid-woofer. Drawing on the designs of traditional wireless FM radios, the P100x offers high-end digital power amplification delivered via line in or Bluetooth, all housed in a beautiful cherry wood speaker casing.
Designed by renowned speaker designer and sound engineer Phil Jones, the patented custom-designed tweeters offer an oval shaped diaphragm to effectively deliver a better high frequency response, seamlessly reproducing the highest audio frequencies accurately. This tweeter easily out-performs any normal dome tweeters, allowing the speaker to be positioned anywhere in a room yet still performing at its best.
The patented custom-designed tweeters accurately reproduce sound, evenly controlling the dispersion of sound from low to high notes. It has been constructed using a high degree of technological intelligence, creating a highly precise sound which is not usually seen in a single loudspeaker unit.

The mid woofer is a 4.5-inch unit, featuring a hard anodized aluminium alloy cone suspended in a heavy, ultra-rigid cast magnesium alloy frame. Designed with meticulous testing, the 30mm diameter voice coil is larger than most found in similar sized speakers. It has been shown that larger voice coils have less power compression because they run at a cooler operating temperature. Sonically, this means a more realistic and dynamic representation of the music, really allowing the listener to be totally immersed.
The cabinet is built using high-strength MDF, producing a superb foundation for a superior sound quality by reducing unwanted sound resonance, whilst delivering a pleasing aesthetic. The all-in-one design allows placement flexibility and the design will effortlessly fit in with your current room décor.
The P100x supports line in and Bluetooth v5.1 chipset QCC3031, supporting aptX HD codec and offering a lower distortion yet higher resolution audio output. This latest Bluetooth version also results in minimal interruptions for a more consistent listening experience. The well – known US cable manufacturer, TRANSPARENT, provide the internal wiring, further enhancing the reproduction of sound from the tweeter and mid-woofer system, producing a high degree of accuracy and sound resolution.
Reminiscent of a traditional wireless radio, the one/off, volume, bass and treble controls are located on the front of the speaker. Easily fine tune the high frequency to your taste and adjust the amount of bass according to the listening environment. Included with the pair of speakers is a wireless remote that allows you to adjust the volume and mute your speakers from a distance.
