Tronsmart Halo 100 Portable Party Speaker

0:01 Welcome to another Tronsmart video

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another Tronsmart video. Now first of all my disclaimer, I do not get a penny for doing these videos but the company Tronsmart do send me the speakers because I suppose strangely enough they like what I do. Well anyway as you may or may not have known I've done quite a few videos for them ranging from tiny little speakers up to this thing here the Halo 100. And that is a controller from Pioneer. Sorry for the camera wobbling. That's the DDJ-400 and a bit of a story attached to these two. Pay attention. OK, so let's open it up. Oh, mouse, we don't want that. OK, so sorry if the camera's wobbling, but I've got it on a stand. This is what they call the unboxing. Sometimes people talk about the box. I'm not going to. Right, let's just get this sucker out. It's very heavy by the way. Shoot, I think I've ripped the box. Never mind. Okay, let's put that there and let's put that there. Right, so what have we got? We have a Bluetooth speaker. Yep.

2:14 They haven't thought let's just bung one speaker there and just forget

And you're probably thinking, well there's a million and one of these out there, which indeed there is. But this is from Tronsmart and it's the Halo 100. Sorry with the camera wobbling. Okay now I'm going to do another video on this because this is really just a quick one. And it looks pretty cool. You've got a couple of sort of mid speakers, treble speaker and a bass one. They haven't thought let's just bung one speaker there and just forget about it. No, they've made an effort. And if I turn it on, generally what you should do of course is charge up. Nice little introductory sound. And we have some lovely coloured LEDs. ...wirelessly connect to your device, your tablet and so on. But one reason I brought the DDJ-400 is we're at a stage now in life where basically for a small gig... Now, I'm on about a house party, OK? All you would need is one or two of these, your controller and your laptop.

That is it. If you've got the DDJ-200, you wouldn't even need your laptop. You could just go off a tablet or your phone. We're in this incredible era of being able to DJ with a minimum amount of kit, but at the same time still perform a relatively good show. So, you know, it's got the usual. It's got a handle. The back here we can charge up, USB out for powering our phone sort of if you're on the go you can power your phone etc. Also got an auxiliary so you can go directly in audio which I will explain in a bit and you've also got a micro USB. So first of all the USB this side here now let's imagine for example Well, normally with the likes of the 400 you'll bus power from your laptop. Well, you can bus power from the speaker, which is pretty cool. And I mentioned about having two of them. So what you could theoretically do is go from the master out right and left and go

4:55 To the input here, the mini jack input

To the input here, the mini jack input. So in other words you'd have a similar, do you remember the old iPhones? You had a mini jack input and then you could get sort of from mini jack to RCA. So all you'd really need is two of those. So when I say two of them, you know one RCA To one mini jack, another RCA to another mini jack. So you'd have one of those either side. What else have we got here? Micro SD card. So again, you can load up a whole bunch of tracks and take it away with you. So even if you don't have a phone or any form of device, away you go. You can get really nice audio from this. So this particular brand, what I found is it's not cheap and cheerful. I have a friend of mine who I won't mention has had a similar speaker to the, I think it was a Tronsmart Bang, quite old in fact. There it is. I think this is the smaller version. Okay. And I picked it up and it was...

7:07 You don't want to take loads of gear up with you

Aesthetically sort of pretty much the same it looked the same um same sort of design but the weight it was there was no comparison the other one his was very light and that tells me that pos well possibly the components aren't as good and also maybe the battery uh battery life on something like this will last practically all day if not longer again with the halo very similar Let's just put the box up there so you can see. But the company does say, which is pure logic, if you're going to use the LEDs, it's not going to last as long as if you just use it for audio. But what I'm trying to put over here in this video is, for example, let's say you just want to do a house party. And if you think about it, you want to do a house party. You don't want to take loads of gear up with you. You've got annoying neighbours who are always complaining about, you know, turn it down, turn it down. Well, you've got everything here. You know, even if you just take one of those, your controller and a laptop, you can perform a great show in someone's living room with neighbours all around. And you're not going to annoy everybody. And even if it's up 10 flights of stairs.

Well, actually you could probably go use the lift. Does it matter? Not really. All right, what do we get in this packet? Let's have a look. Open it up. You get your usual instruction manual, warranty card, instruction manual and the sound pulse. Now I believe this is something that they have designed. And again, going back to sound quality. I'm not going to put the sound on, okay? There's no point because all you're doing is you're listening to the sound from a speaker into my phone through the web into your speaker. So it's actually pointless but you can be rest assured the sound is pretty damn good. Okay we have our USB and it's a USB-C for charging. I have turned it on but I recommend if ever you buy anything like this

Before you use it properly, always charge it up. Always just give it a bit of a boost. And then we have here, excuse me, a micro jack to micro jack or a mini jack, sorry, to mini jack. Okay, so there you go. Tronsmart Halo 100 portable party speaker. Exceptional outdoor sound. Thank you for watching. Don't forget, check out the link in the description to this little sucker here. Practice and enjoy. Thank you very much.
