Incredible sound and overall product quality - but you need, no MUST buy two! -UPDATED Review
This is a superb product that offers tremendous sound quality and product features for a VERY low relative price. I suspect the low price puts people off. Don’t be!I bought one unit to use to provide better sound quality for a mini TV, however when I tried it out it was obvious that it could produce extremely high quality sound. Intrigued by the instruction manual that if you have two they implement TWS (True Wireless Stereo) I bought a second unit. The instruction manual suggests a rather complicated way to get TWS working- you can ignore and just turn the speakers on then press the ON switch on one speaker twice quickly. Then pair in the normal way on your Bluetooth device. You will then have a pair of stereo speakers and no wires! Then prepare to be amazed! You might think, “oh well, this guy doesn’t know what Hi-Fi sound is”. Not so! I have some very expensive equipment so I know what good is!I have not put on a spectrum analyser and you will find you can’t get the base to rattle the floor, (you need a sub-woofer for that), but yes, the small passive radiator unit will go down to 115Hz. It is rated in the manual at 10 Watts per unit, and I suspect that is an RMS value given the loudness (they go very loud!). So on tracks with a heavy base line, you will still enjoy and NOT feel you have half the sound missing.Oh, and remember because they have their own LION battery you will need to charge the units up from time to time, but it does mean you can move them around both inside rooms and outside (IPX7 water resistant) easily. The Bluetooth range seems excellent. For the size, the units are weighty (465 gramms) and the finish exudes quality.In summary, a great little unit on its own, but in pairs, they are amazing and can produce sound quality way above what you could expect for the price! You will be looking at your expensive existing hi-if wondering if you really need it now!UPDATERunning the speakers off my ipad I now set to “Base Boost” in the “settings” on the tablet. Doing that, any thought of needing a sub-woofer as previously mentioned goes away. I am now using the two Tronsmart speakers as my main hi-fi. The units contain DSP (digital signal processing) electronics, so if you use two together their full stereo capability -and only then- Is displayed. It’s amazingly good.I have shelves that are suitable locations for the speakers, but if you don’t, then you will need speaker stands. The only design improvement I would recommend would be for Tronsmart to add a threaded socket in the base (most speaker stands bolt into the back surface and you can’t do that with these since the bass reflex uses the rear surface). It might be possible to find speaker stands that clamp the speakers without need for screws etc.Addressing some complaints by other reviewers: Some people have written about poor performance of the rechargeable battery- this might be caused by not fully charging prior to first use, I have certainly not had any problems, but do consider that if you use them as I do, blasting away at near full volume for three or four hours straight, they won’t go 24 hours without charging! It’s not a design flaw but basic physics - at high volume the amount of sound energy from the speakers is huge- its got to come from somewhere!It’s also been mentioned that the buttons are not obvious. This may well be the case for people with poor eyesight, but they are designed to be waterproof and resistant to damage. For power “on” and “Bluetooth” there are red and blue LEDs in the buttons. I don’t think, as result these criticisms are reasonable.Summary: Extremely well designed and made. I suspect this brand might not offer their products at such low prices for very long- i won’t be surprised if Tronsmart turns into a high end high priced brand. Buy now, at bargain prices!

powerful little speaker for the workshop
Updated 17/12/2020Brought this for use in a noisy workshop due to it's low price and water and dust resistance.Been using for two weeks so far so this is my "two week review" and will update if needed.A 10w speaker is pretty decent for this price point and the slund doesn't disappoint. I often have this at the 12th or 13th volumes (my phone goes to 15) and that is loud enough to be heard whilst welding and other people are grinding or welding. It is also loud enough to be heard over other peoples stereos which is great.I have many different playlists of genres but have found that the snare drums in drum and bass and dubstep songs have been loud enough to vibrate the floor even though this is hanging from the side of my locker in my bay.I always forget how loud this is while working (due to all the noise) that when break starts and everything stops this can be heard across the workshop.This is while the speaker has a bit of rag wrapped around it damping the sound slightly. (I trust the dust proof claim but I do a lot of grinding and want this to last as long as possible)As for battery life, I work 8 hour days and charge it in the evenings at home. It has been fine throughout 8 hour days. Will never get to really test the 24 hour claim but I have the volume near max anyway so 8 hours at high volume is really good in my opinion.Hopefully I won't need to change this review later on. My initial review is that this is fantastic for the price!December Update: added photos, woah.This speaker is still working fantastically!Very loud and the clarity is great on all volume levels. It falls short a tiny bit on bass in my workshop but that's expected given the size of the speaker. I usually just put it in a plastic box to amplify that a tiny bit.One thing I have noticed is that when you first turn it on the volume is set to a certain volume and takes a few seconds to turn down even if you wait.Another thing is that on lower volumes it doesn't always process volume changes. It does on higher volumes just not the lowest volumes. Luckily I have this turned up 95% of the time.

Best thing I’ve ever bought from Amazon!!
Probably the best thing I’ve ever bought from Amazon! Superb speaker!I bought one for the shower, works perfectly (although it is a bit loud when you connect, always turn it down before hitting play ;) This speaker is used every day for about 20/30 mins, I swear I didn’t have to charge it again for about 4 months!! So good, I bought another one for the other shower, and that also performs perfectly! I’m going to buy more just in case I ever have a big house with more showers :) The battery lasts for months, they sound great, are waterproof and they even look cool!Simple, if you want a great shower speaker that sounds brilliant and that you don’t have to charge up ever few days, but this!However, if you’re trying run a night club with it (after reading a few less positive reviews, I can only assume that’s what they are trying to do with it) then stop being so cheap and buy something more expensive!I’d give it 10 stars if I could 👍🏼
