Next in from Tronsmart is the Apollo air plus which is the more advanced version of the Apollo Air we just unboxed recently and we will have both full hands on review of both of these in the coming week or so and stay tuned for that having used to Apollo for the last few days so far I am impressed and look forward to seeing how the plus model performs. There is little difference between both hardware wise and we take a quick look at both in the unboxing below and if you have questions feel free to ask whilst we compare both over the coming week.
The Onyx Ace are the latest on offer from Tronsmart and for the price you pay these are certainly another pair to look at if you are on a budget, With a stem type design like Airpods you wont feel left out with the look and one thing is for sure you will not be missing out on sound,these are loud and that is my personal taste so if its volume you are after these offer it..
These come in cool case too with some LED lights on the front for your battery status and it acts as adecent light in a dark room too I might add, these also have aptX too which is often left out on much higher priced earbuds. The case is light and pocketable and not cumbersome and fits in the small pocket on jeans which is said to be the preffered choice for those who carry true wireless with them.
USB-C charging is also on offer here and you get 20 hours per charge and up to 4.5-5 hours per charge on the earbuds depending on volume etc I was averaging 4 hours with my usage over a week or so which is fine. For calls you have quad mic technology and calls are excellent keeping out most of the outside world this is a bomus for those who takes many calls on the go and so on.
You have 13mm drivers on board giving you a good sound as a whole across all genres, nice bass and good soundstage here and overall these delivered beyond my expectations, watching films you tube or Netflix also shined here with good direction and clarity and also good on voice, no lag latency was noticed during my testing and I was impressed. You have all the controls you need here such as skip and reverse tracks,volume control and voice assistant acces on the earbuds so no need to take your device out on the move.
Comfort is another thing to note here these are light and sit well in the ears,once inserted you get a connection noise from both sides which lets you know you have connected to your chosen device this is good,these can be used on their own too so you have that option to use one at a time which is always a welcome factor and a feature many people ask for.
Overall for the money you pay here I cant complain at all there,there is features more expensive earbuds leave out and the sound its great with loud volume if required check them out HERE
If you are in the market for a new bluetooth speaker this is one to look at easily. This one is on the bigger size from their range but let me tell you it packs some sound and easily can fill a big open environment or room you will hear this no matter where you are in your house even with doors shut it is that loud.
Also good here is the bass level and bass fans will love it with three levels to choose from with an EQ button on the rear. Again this is comes with soundpulse technology offering a 40w output which is great and packs a real punch and for me it was surprising how loud this is and how effective the technology is without the loss of clarity. Full max volume will at times sound distort depending on what you listen too.
On the back you have an array of buttons. From the top you have play pause and skip track and tws paring on one segment,next is the EQ button which has three modes complemented by an LED a the end to let you know what mode you are in, then you have a mode button and power on/off one.
Under all this is your i/o options which is USB-C Micro USB port, UAB-A port and a 3.5mm port so you can directly connect your device if it supports a headphone jack given it is being killed off slowly. All this is in a rubber texture with the flap covering the i/o ports for waterproofing. The top of the speaker has a nice circular button with the tronsmart logo and illuminated sides which looks nice in a darker room and this controls the volume level,play/pause music call control and voice assistant.. Underneath there is rubberised feet and the rest of the unit is constructed with fabric and housed in rubber in general and a really solid build.
Controls are simple to use and once you are paired up get ready to enjoy really loud bass driving music sit back and enjoy. This will offer a 360 degree experience so it is best placed standing but you can use it sat down on its side. Overall this offers some punch for its size and is certainly worth a look and you can also pair another one to it and if you have two of these you can put your old speakers away and enjoy these as they are portable and can be taken anywhere.
Tronsmart have sent us over their latest earbuds but stay tuned for more tech from the company including some really nice new earbuds very soon that differs from the current range we have tried out over the last few months and be sure to check out those reviews here.
The Onyx are probably the smallest ones on offer and similar to their spunky beat but this time around they outperform the beats when it comes to sound, Again a touch affair to change things around these are a vast improvement over the spunky beat and that is not to take anything away from them either as they are quite good and a solid performer all round.
The Onyx are set more in the ear and will not budge giving a nice profile that does not stick out or look noticeable and very discreet to wear and they also isolate the outside world to a great extent and will not fall out of your ear despite the size.
The controls this time seem to work much better than previous models but like any earbud it does require some thumb memory to get the hand of the controls and the commands which are simple taps which work all the time which is what we expect to see. We also have access to voice assistants for those who use them.
Doing my usual test loop these performed well offering good volume levels, good direction separation and good with highs lows and mids and overall a great experience with no lag latency either noticed. Call quality is good and on both sides but these can be used in a mono format too should you require to do so.
If you are looking for an affordable bluetooth speaker this one to check out coming in at around €30 at the time of press this one could be for you. It has a solid build with a good bit of weight to it and finished in Matt Black with a rubber textured finish and easy to use controls placed on top and you also have access to your voice assistant.
This also comes with USB- C charging and you can also add a micro sd card too if you do not want to have a device paired to it, It is a clean looking speaker with the typical industry standard look but delivers on sound quality and bass fans will certainly like this one for sure, Calls are also good and for the music aspect the bass level is ideal giving a punchy sound that is loud and will easily fill a room. Lets also not forget the IPX7 rating here which means it is safe for the pool or going on a trip and you also have Bluetooth 5.0 here for a good stable connection. Also included in a hook on the side of the speaker which allows you place it elsewhere if you did not want it in the way but you can of course place it on a flat surface if you wish.
You have easy to use controls on top to change tracks on music,play and pause you cant reverse tracks however which is no huge deal and something that is the norm on bluetooth speakers but you can use your smartphone if you wish to do that. Battery life is also great and giving you a decent listening time and you also have the ability to use AUX if you do not want to use the Bluetooth so you have input choice here if required.
