0:01 We have the Bang, which is just an absolutely insane piece of kit

Right, ladies and gentlemen, I have been doing quite a few videos on the Tronsmart series of Bluetooth speakers. So we've got a nice little unit here, which I've done a review on last year. We have the Bang, which is just an absolutely insane piece of kit. It is amazing. Go and check out my videos. But they asked me to do a review on this. Now this is the Trip. Now, it does come in different colours. I've had a black one sent, this is the red. Now, when I say there's not much to say about this, it is a Bluetooth speaker, OK? You know, I mean, there's no ifs or buts around it. There's so many out there. But what I do find with the Tronsmart series, because they're sending them to me, is that the sound is pretty good.

Other speakers, alright? I'm not saying that this series is far better than anything else. But, you know, pound for buck, you know, if you're going to put your money where your mouth is, I would say if you start investing in something like this, as opposed to those makes where you seem to be paying a lot of money. Just to show that you've got some really, really well-known make, then you're an idiot because the way technology is moving forward and the quality of parts, companies like this know what they're doing. And they're going, hold on a minute, we do not have to charge masses of money for the sake of just putting a brand on there that everyone knows. Instead it's like, well... Get something like this and you've got damn good quality. Okay, so what have we got here? Okay, Tronsmart Trip, portable outdoor speaker, okay? And this is actually, you know, for going outside if it's hammering it down with rain, it doesn't matter. It's IPX7 waterproof, okay? So in other words, you could quite happily take this out in torrential rain and you're fine, you're good to go.

2:09 Support, sorry, voice, hold on, where are we?

Support, sorry, voice, hold on, where are we? Assistant, that's it. So in other words, if you've got this plugged in and, you know, you've got it say wired up to your phone and you want to do dictation or anything like that, you know, you're good to go. So what else have we got? Industry leading wireless streaming. You've got dual full range driver units. True wireless stereo pairing, Type-C charging, up to 20 hours of playtime. Patented sound pulse technology. Now I would say up to 20 hours of playing time. Generally what that means is that if you're going to have this at full pelt, you're not going to get 20 hours. But if you have it at sort of, you know... So listenable volume for a group of four people while you're sipping your bottle of Chardonnay out in the garden, you're going to be fine. Okay, so very simple at the top, we just have on and off, you have Bluetooth, you have your play function and plus and minus for your volume. And again...

If you've got this sort of Bluetooth to your phone, you can use your phone to turn it up or down. Alternatively, you can use this. Now here, if I just lift that up, we have type C input and also we've got a mini jack input there as well. So if you don't want to connect via Bluetooth, you can just go directly in there. Now alternatively, what you can do if you want to... Alright, this is the fun thing about speakers like this. If you've got the likes of... Let me get it up. Actually, this is really dusty. This is the DDJ-400 from Pioneer. Now, that has to be bus powered. What is bus power? Basically, that means that you need an external power source to light this sucker up. So, just hear... Hear me out here, because this is quite important and fun. From your laptop, okay, if you've got a fully charged laptop, and you've got, let's say, for example, rekordbox, so you go from your 400 into your laptop, and you will use the rekordbox software. Now, what you can do then, the laptop will of course power the 400. Now on the back of here...

5:03 Get a stereo input out of your controller

You have got your RCA out. Now I'm sure you're familiar with an RCA right and left to mini jack, and that's what a lot of people used to use with the old style sort of iPhones and so on, where you have a mini jack input for your headphones. So you'd go from that into... Get a stereo input out of your controller. And guess what? You have got an outside DJ setup. So let's go back to drinking your chardonnay with your friends or a couple of beers or half a dozen bottles of vodka. Whatever you fancy. And you can do a DJ set, so you no longer have to stream some dodgy music where five tracks you like and two you don't. You can play the stuff you like while drinking your Chardonnay or five bottles of vodka while listening to it via this. There you go. So there you go. Tronsmart Trip. Like I said, it does come in different colours. I've had the black one, the red. I believe there's green, yellow, blue.

And so on. So loads of things to choose from. And also, you've got a nice little strap there. So, you know, you could hang that from, well, it's a fabricated handle, should I say. That's what it says on the box. And that seems pretty sturdy as well. I don't think that's going to fall apart. It's not one of these dodgy things where you pull it and you think, oh my God, it's broken. And then you have to open the damn thing up to poke it back in. None of that here. It's a case of... That could quite happily fit on your backpack, on your back and you could be listening to your tunes along with everyone else. Alright, so there it is, Tronsmart Trip Portable Outdoor Speaker. Check out the information in the description and happy days. Thank you for watching, practice and enjoy.
