First look November 2022

Contents of the video

0:01 First of all, my disclaimer

Right, ladies and gentlemen, first of all, my disclaimer. I'm not getting paid by Tronsmart, although they did send me these products for free to review. OK, so we have here on the right the T7. Now, this here has two treble speakers and one bass speaker. And I'll be honest with you, it's pretty damn good. And this review really is on the T7 Mini. And this is sort of like the baby brother of the T7. Both are IPX rated 7, so what that means is that you can pretty much submerge them, not that you'd want to, in water up to about a metre for sort of half an hour. But you don't really want to do that. I mean, I think the reason they're IP rated like that is so, you know, you're on the beach, you're...

You're in the bath, you're in the shower and it gets wet. It's not going to damage any of the internal electronics. But of course what you do have to be careful of... If we have a look at the T7, you can see there's a small lip there. We lift that up and that's where you will charge the speaker via USB-C and you can plug in a mini SD card. Make sure that is securely pressed down. If you don't, then of course a bit of water or moisture is going to get in there. But I'll be honest with you, it's common sense. is something i quite like is rhythm driven light show so in other words uh while your music's playing you'll have a nice little light show up to 18 hours of playback time now i would say up to 18 is based on of course how loud you have it and if you have the light show boom i'm not sure again i need to check to make sure you um

You can turn the light show off or you may just have the LEDs flashing all the time. And again, IP rated 7. Okay, so this is what it looks like on all sides. Pretty straightforward. What have we got here? We've got ultra compact and portable, rich sounding with unparalleled clarity. Now if it's anything like the T7, I will agree with that because It is an amazing sound but the T7, okay I suppose really it's going to be a review of both of them but mainly for the T7 Mini because I'm going to be opening this up for the first time. As you can see it's completely sealed. Now the T7 is 360 degree sound and it does that. It is amazing. So what I found is that no matter which way you point it, of course you know you just...

2:54 Excuse the camera jumping around

Put it on the ground like that. The sound is indeed 360 degrees, so let's grab a knife and let's open this one up. Right, so excuse the camera jumping around. I've got it on a stand and it's attached to the table and I'm using my iPhone 11. So I'm just going to... In fact, most of the videos I do now, I use the iPhone because... It's very simple, very quick, it's pretty decent quality and you don't have to unplug anything, can plug in and upload, download. It's just basically a case of pressing a few buttons and away you go. Alright, so let's have a look. I presume here we have the destruction manual and there it is, along with mini jack-to-jack. And we have our USB-C cable. Okay, so here it is. Don't eat that, that's silica gel. That's just to keep the moisture off the speaker itself. And there it is. So it's a nice sort of tactile feel to it. Very similar to its big brother. We've got a small compartment there and by the looks of it, that plug there is for your mini jack. We have micro USB and USB-C charging.

5:10 There is a bit of a difference in weight

And on the top we have play, we have that. It's like a sun kind of image. Now I thought that is for your light show and plus and minus for your volume and of course on and off. Now again Bluetooth so you don't have to use the plus and minus on the speaker. You can use your phone so long as it's connected. I'm just going to press it on. Let's see. Maybe it does, yeah, it probably does need charging. Of course, it's just come out of the box. So it seems pretty decent actually. Now I will give this a demo and in a future video I'll let you know what I think. But sort of size comparison, there you go. So this is the Mini. And this is the T7. Now there is a bit of a difference in weight. This doesn't seem light. It's, you know, it's got a bit of weight to it. If you threw that at your missus, she'd probably divorce you. Not that you'd want to, unless of course you're in that kind of relationship. Alternatively...

The T7, you know, you grab hold of that, give them a whack over the head and that's probably the last time you'd ever want to hit them over the head. Not that you'd want to because you'd break your speaker. You don't want to break your speaker, do you? Don't worry about people's skulls. Look after your speaker. So there you go. All right, again with the T7, what I do like... Ellaskins, The DJ Tutor as though it's all been greased to perfection so love that okay and there we go so again with the t7 mini great for portability you know uh jumping in the bath with it not you'd want to put this in the bath with you but definitely you can listen to some tunes while you're soaking the the day away and

That's about it really. Alright, so I'll put some info in the description where you can get these from. Now Tronsmart do do other speakers as well. One which I do like. Here we go, look at that. The Bang. Now this here, alright. This video should be about the 7, but in a way why not show you all of them so we can do a bit of a size comparison as well. So if I put the Tronsmart Bang there and then we can see the 7 and the Mini. Now of course it's obvious which one is going to be the loudest. It's obvious of course. But as for quality of sound, if the Mini is anything like the other two, which it should be because I would have thought they'd have relatively similar technology, then you're not going to be disappointed whatsoever. And again with the Bang, we've got these, these aren't actual, I forget the terminology.

7:53 These aren't bass speakers, they're like reflex

These aren't bass speakers, they're like reflex. So what happens is as the speakers in here move out, that sort of sucks in and then as the speakers here move in, this pushes out. So you do get a nice sort of warm bass response from here and also around the outside lights up with different coloured LEDs. So there you go. All right. So again, if you want any info on the T7 Mini or for that matter, any of the Tron Smart products, Check out the link in the description. And I am pleasantly pleased with these. Again, when people send me products to review a lot of people say how come you never do any bad reviews Jonathan? Well it's very simple. If I get a product and I think it's pretty crap, I won't review it because I would prefer not to put bad vibes out there and just say it's

It doesn't do this or it doesn't do that, or it's not good enough here or there. It's better just to not bother doing a review. So when I get products and I think they're great and they're worth their weight in gold, maybe not literally, then of course I will. And the Tronsmart speakers are amazing. And a lot of it is down to the tech inside. And also, what I feel with these that's slightly different to other speakers, not all Bluetooth speakers, battery-powered speakers, is the actual batteries inside them. What you have to remember is that gone are the days now of, you know, bunging in a couple of triple A's or double A's or whatever, them running out and then having to buy some new ones. Of course, I would have thought there's pretty good batteries in here that will charge up really well and that's the reason why you have sound for a very long time because good quality batteries, you can...

You know, they've got a lot of power storage. All right. So, you know, don't expect to charge them up and an hour later you've got to charge them up again. So a lot of it is down to how you use the speakers. If you can have them full volume, of course, they're not going to last as long as if you have them sort of half volume. Then I would say, you know, you're probably going to get away with a weekend of playing if you're going to be playing it for half an hour here and an hour there. All right. Once again, thank you for watching and practice and enjoy. Thank you.
