Tronsmart Groove 2 Waterproof Outdoor Speaker

0:01 I did recently a review on the T7

Right, ladies and gentlemen, I have my son here, Blaze, who is about to give a demonstration on the small speaker there. And that is the Groove 2. But before he does that, I just want to talk a little bit more. I did recently a review on the T7. What I forgot to mention is that if we lift this up, you can see there... USB-C input for powering it up, and also a mini SD card reader. There you go. So you can plug your mini SD in and play your tunes. Anyway, Blaze, right? Yes. It's brand new. It hasn't been opened. Over to you. Box. I don't really know how to do this sort of stuff, but all of the boxes have a recurring theme of white and purple, which is quite cool. All the smaller ones have this little thing that really irritates me. Yeah, but that's for hanging it in a shop, you know? Yeah, and the big ones don't deserve to be hanged. No. It's not like it's going to go on a clothes rack. No. Okay, so first what can you tell me about the information on the box? What does it tell us? Well, it is waterproof. Yep.

It's got a vibrant light mode, so I totally didn't just read that off the background. Also, because father has given me permission, I am going to put it in an embodiment of water. Right. Is that because it's IP7 and you could submerse it like one metre? Only one metre. Only one metre. Well, you know, I mean, you're not exactly going to be listening to music underwater. The idea there is, you know, if you're outside and it starts hammering it down with rain, you don't have to think, oh, it's going to break because it can quite happily sit in a rainstorm. Oh, I like the box just here. OK. The box. Very complicated. They didn't have to make it this complicated. They got like this little pouch and it's got... Right, let's have a look, see what's inside.

2:25 Back Lady's got a backpack

So what have we got inside? Is that the information manual? Okay, these scissors of course didn't come with the groove too. Oh this is a little hanging thing. Ah right okay so that you can use to hang on if you think if you look at the back Lady's got a backpack and you can hang it on your backpack or your school bag. Is it though? It is. Okay, alright then. Show me the other cables. Hold on, you just grabbed the cables. What are they? Let's have a look. That's a mini jack to mini jack. So that's for charging, okay. Got a pack of silica gel there as well. And then if you don't hang this on the back, you're going to end up breaking a limb or something. Is it pretty sturdy? I like it. Now that little bit at the back, okay, that moves, all right. So that is... You don't put that on there. That's, that's, I think that's some sort of like bass reflex. So when the speaker works, not like it. How does it, how does it feel?

4:48 Features and just explain the features

That looks pretty cool. Does it feel well built? It can scroll onto a speaker thing and go up there. How does it feel? What's the build quality like? It probably would have been better with rubber feet instead of these little plastic things that look tiny. The actual plastic is sturdy, more like all the others, all the others are sturdy. So the buttons on the top, what are their functions? Pause and play and up and down. Have you got volume up, volume down possibly? That's what I just said. Right, okay. You've got hearing problems. That's silica gel. Okay, so have a look in the user manual. I want you to go to the features and just explain the features, please. Can you leave? No, don't open that. Do you know what silica gel is for? It stops any moisture getting in. So check it out. All right, Facebook. Can you just give me the information on Facebook? So what's the Facebook site for Tronsmart? Does it say? Service and support. Contact us at...

USA and Canada? We're not in USA and Canada. I think you can only be in one place at once. Okay. Alright, it looks pretty good though, okay? So on the back here what we've got, we've got like a little sort of bass reflex. So I believe this isn't actually a speaker. All that happens is when the speaker itself does, you know, start vibrating from the sound, then that in turn... Does the opposite, so as it moves out, this moves in and then as that moves in, this moves out. I love the ability of this. Yeah, go on. Cut the corners. Right, what are you doing there? Are you cutting the box? No, cut the corners. Yeah, can make a hat. Amazing, amazing. And you can even store this in the hat. Oh right, right, you're getting as batty as me now mate. Right, give it here. And you can put these in here and the gel.

6:44 We also have SD card in and we have a charging port

You can even put another speaker on top of it. Yeah, just be careful. We're like Cat in the Hat. Wait, what? Yeah, just be careful. Oh, sorry. Don't step on my toes. No, no, no, no, no, no. Don't do that, please. Don't do that. Be careful. Okay, so let's have a look at the back. I presume this tab can lift up. What have we got there? Okay, so we have here, we have our mini jack in. We also have SD card in and we have a charging port. Now again, that's a nice sort of piece of rubber, very secure. So of course, that means that you're not going to get any water in there. But again, I highly recommend to make sure that if you once, hold on one second, once you have charged it to secure that firmly. And as Blaze is showing there, you can fit that on the corner and you can attach the two speakers together.

Wait, where's the other one? They're not here at the moment, they're outside. Right, just give it back here. Okay, again, I can't show you the sound in this video because normally I use the phone but what I will do is we'll record it on another phone and I can play it but I do like... Do you like the effect of the LEDs? That's really cool, isn't it? I don't like the plastic that they put on over it. It's blurring it. It's blurring it. Yeah, but that's how it's supposed to be. It looks really cool. It's not just sort of like one colour, red, green or blue. You know, you've got turquoise and it changes colours. There are colours that are really unappetising to blend together, like yellow and green. I think that's quite vibrant actually. If anyone out there has got a 10-year-old, you'll understand. Okay.

So construction wise it's really well made this is, it just feels quality and again as I said with a lot of kit from Tronsmart, in fact everything I've had from them, they're very heavy, big and bulky and when you get something that's quite heavy that says to me that the speaker in there is probably pretty big, it's got quite a large magnet and also The power supply or the batteries have got to be pretty big. I have seen some similar speakers and they're very light and that just tells me that probably the battery compartment's very small, it probably won't last very long. Yeah, you can't do that. No, the idea of... This cable is, let's say for example, you know, you've got an iPhone and you want to plug that in. You can plug your iPhone in and then the other side you can plug into the speaker. Yes, mate? Guess what? What? I have over seven brain cells. I know what that does. Sorry, mate. I beg your pardon. All right. Any other features you'd like to explain about this place?

9:32 Dual EQ mode, okay

EQ mode. Dual EQ mode, okay. Has 18 hours of play time or you could just leave it on doing nothing and flashing as an LED lamp for 18 hours. It probably lasts longer than 18 hours. Alright look, as Blaze said at the top, you've got your on-off... Why can't you just take my word for it? Yeah, I will. You've got your play pause and... Turn up and turn down. But of course, once you Bluetooth this to your external device, you can use the audio level on your devices. You don't have to clamber to the speaker. You can just use your phone and turn it up, turn it down. So there you go. Right. So let's have a look at the box again. Please don't destroy the box. Right. The Groove 2 waterproof outdoor speaker.

I will put information in the description and a lickable clink. I like that word, lickable clink, which is a clickable link. I've copyrighted that because I started saying that about 15 years ago. A lickable clink. So there you go. So the Groove 2 and over there we've got the T7. All right, so, by the way, I have used the T7. Just one second. Go on. What? If you want to suffocate yourself... Yeah, no, don't do that. That's ridiculous. And if you want to die... The 360 sound on this is amazing. It's really, really vibrant. And like most of the other speakers from Tronsmart... We've got a small button there and you press that and you just seem to get this extra sort of live stereo sound. It boosts and enhances all of the frequencies, alright? So once again, I will put information on both of them in the description. Thank you very much. What were you going to say Blaze? Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
