Tronsmart Bang Se Portable Party Speaker IPX6 Waterproof

0:00 Jonathan Ellaskins, The DJ Tutor

Right, ladies and gentlemen, Jonathan Ellaskins, The DJ Tutor. Now this video is sort of DJ related, but not completely, okay? Also a bit of disclaimer here, I'm doing the review on this speaker from a company called Tronsmartz. Now they have not paid me for this review, but they did indeed send me the product for free. They didn't tell me what to say. They basically sent the product and they sort of said, do your own thing, do whatever. I know it's like contradiction there, Talk about that, that and that. You must say this. They've just sent it me and gone, make a video, which is what I'm going to do. Okay. Now you may have watched a few videos in the past on Tronsmart. I do like the company. I like their products because they're solid and they're well-made. A few people say, how come you never do any bad reviews? Well, it's very simple.

99% of the time in the reviews I will always big up a product. I will never do a bad review because anything that's sent to me that I don't like, I won't even review. The 1% of the time when I may say something that's not really controversial but... Generally, that 1% is a constructive criticism on the product involved. So I never sort of have a product and say it's crap, crap, crap because if I have something sent and I don't think it's very good, I won't even put it in a video. There you go. All right, so that's sort of the disclaimer over. Anyway, we have here the Tronsmart Bang SE. It's a portable party speaker. Now, if you're looking for something for the kids for Christmas, then... This potentially could be it. If you're anything like me, my age, back in the 80s, you used to have your massive ghetto blaster on your shoulder. Well, technology's moved on so fast and forward now that this is probably just as loud. Maybe it doesn't have that sub bass, but it definitely packs a punch and it's pretty good quality sound, I have to admit. Okay, so I've got my son's old phone here.

2:09 Telling me it's logging into bluetooth

I'm just going to um log back in uh right okay so i'm gonna turn the speaker on so you have two sounds one it turning on and the second one is telling me it's logging into bluetooth so press there there you go so that was telling me it's on and now it's also logged into bluetooth so press play on the phone and also what i can do is i can press On the Tronsmart and now because it's connected I can do pretty much anything on here. There is SD cards, a mini micro SD card in the back so your plus and minus is not only volume but if you keep your finger on the plus for two seconds you skip a track forward. On the minus for two seconds you skip a track back but if you just press the plus very quickly

The volume will increase, minus, the volume decreases. Now here we've got this button, sound pulse button. And what that does, it just highlights, it makes the audio sound a little bit more pristine. I mean, it's a good quality sound anyway, but it just enhances the overall flavour of the sound. So I'm going to press play again. Put my finger on the sound pulse. Oh, once, that's it, yeah. I'm just going to turn that off again. Okay, so we've also got stereo pairing. So what we can do here, we can pair two together. Now in the box you also get... A micro, a mini jack plug, jack to jack. So I'm pretty sure you could use these and plug two in together as well. Also what you can do, where the DJing side comes in, but first of all before we do that, I'm going to press far right. It's like an icon with a sun on it. So I'm going to press that and now we have LED shining. So this is where the DJ side comes in. I'm going to press play again.

5:33 You've got yourself a mobile disco because it lights up as well

Press play again so it turns off. Okay, so what's this got to do with DJing? Well let's imagine you have got a small controller that's bus powered. No, that is not the T5 that turns up half an hour before school. Bus powered means that Your controller will be powered via the USB cable from your laptop, so of course always make sure your laptop is fully charged in the event that you go camping. So just bear this in mind, you're going camping, you've got your laptop fully charged, you've got a small controller, out of your controller you've got an RCA out, get yourself the old school cables that the iPhone used to have. It was a mini jack to RCA cables. So you can go out of your controller, into the Tronsmart Bang SE and guess what? You've got yourself a mobile disco because it lights up as well. So you're camping and away you go. Now you may think as well, well hold on a minute, how come or what if it doesn't last very long?

The actual battery life. Well, the company do say it lasts for 24 hours playtime. Now I haven't read all the instructions but I would hazard a guess to say that's going to be maybe... With low LEDs and half volume, you know, at the end of the day, it's like a good analogy is, you know, a car manufacturer will say on a full tank of gas petrol over here in the UK, you can do 300 miles. Of course, if you're doing a steady pace, but if you've got your foot to the floor and you're absolutely frigging hammering it. You're going to have that at least, aren't you? So just common sense really. Okay, so we've got a really good handle and it comes with a strap as well, hence why I think it's great for kids because they can carry it around and it looks cool with the flashy lights. Now with all of Tronsmart's stuff, what I have found is they're really, really well made. A lot of Bluetooth speakers I've seen...

7:59 You can actually plug in your controller into this because it's batter

You know, you're scared of dropping them on a carpet and then falling to bits. Whereas if you drop this on the kitchen floor, you might crack the tiles. So I'll turn this around and we'll open up the back. Now, this is rated IPX6 waterproof. So I'm not exactly sure what that means, but I'm pretty sure you could put it outside in some kind of rainstorm and it's not going to damage it. Tiny hole there, that's for reset. We've got USB out. We have a type C USB in for charging. We have your mini jack input there and we have a micro SD card there. So again, the USB, what we could do here is, sorry, that's not for charge. Yeah, sorry, the USB out. Let's say if you want to charge something, so for example, you could, say, charge your phone off that. But also what you could do is if your laptop is maybe low on power, guess what? You can actually plug in your controller into this because it's battery powered. And again, for example, with the Pioneer, I think it's the DDJ-200 where you can use your phone.

You Bluetooth your phone, I believe to the 200 and then you plug in this to the 200 for the power and then you have your cable out from the 200 into that. Then I think you've almost got, quote me if I'm right or wrong here, but this is if memory serves me correct, you've got another way of DJing. So, like I said earlier, if you're going camping, you know, three items. Your speaker, your controller, your laptop and you've got the complete light show as well. Now, in the box you get your information on how to use it, one of those. You get a pack of silica gel that I've just thrown on the floor. That is just to stop any moisture getting in there. Information on the Sound Pulse technology and your mini jack-to-mini jacks, stereo cable, type C charging cable and the warranty card. Also you get the strap and of course you get a whopping great big speaker.

So any information on this, don't hesitate, get in touch, leave a comment, let me know what you think about it. And also in the description of this video there are links where you can get the product as well. So again I don't normally do this but you're always probably thinking about something for Christmas and if you have got kids and they're into loud music Not too loud though, and they like a bit of a party atmosphere. Then I'll be honest with you again, I've got to be honest with you, you can't go wrong because you've got audio and lights in one system. So I hope this has been a help. And again, the DJ side, if you don't want to spend a fortune on a massive PA, you've got everything here because you can Bluetooth it to your phone while you...

Thank you for watching. Don't forget, practice and enjoy.
