hi I'm get on from technology man calm the Tron smart t2 plus is a compact
portable speaker than ipx7 waterproof rating up to 24 hours of battery life
independent lossless playback by a microSD slot and supports wireless
stereo Perry with another identical speaker it's reason we've priced at
around $35 30 pounds that often on offer so check for the latest pricing in the
description below I'll be comparing against the similarly priced and popular
anchor sound cord to the slightly larger sound called boost and the t2 plus his
big brother the element force all of which I've reviewed recently could this
be the perfect budget portable travel speaker let's find out inside the box
you get the speaker itself a USB C 2 USB a charging cable a three-and-a-half
millimeter audio cable and a decent instruction manual there's also a
lanyard which is nothing more than a short shoelace this is a pretty compact
speaker measuring 175 millimeters by 69 millimeters by 53 millimeters and weighs
535 grams it's marginally smaller and lighter than the anchor sound core boost
the anchor sound called 2 is significantly smaller and weighs over
100 grams less the boxy design with curved size is quite plain with rather
too prominent transport branding for my liking on the front and rear speaker
grilles but it's well-built with no flexing or creaking the sound core boost
feels more premium with its fine fabric grill wrap and flush control buttons but
for something designed for travel and portability first and foremost the TT
plus should prove more robust and it has an ipx7 waterproof rating rather than
the IP x5 splash proof rating with a sound called boost behind the metal
grille at the front of the speaker or the stereo drivers deliver up to 20
watts of output around the back of the speaker you can just see the rear
venting passive radiator behind the metal grille and lifting the rubber flap
reveals a microSD slot a USB C charging port and a three-and-a-half millimeter
audio import for a wired connection they don't list the maximum capacity of micro
sd card supported but a Sanders 64 gigabyte card work just fine it's not a
feature I'd use much though it does allow a completely untethered music
playback it's nice to see the modern a robust reversible USB C charging port
but I would like two USB port to charge other gadgets like on the sound called
boost you need to completely close a rubber seal to maintain its waterproof
rating around one side of the speaker is a buckle like on the transplant force
for clipping to a bag a carabiner would have been a more useful accessory than
the short shoelace lanyard for this purpose along the top of the
arrey speaker controls I don't have any backlighting for being black on black
are difficult to see in dim conditions there's no NFC like on the Tron smart
force of sound called boost a quick pairing to compatible devices the bottom
of the speaker has two rubber feet the t2 plus has a 3600 milliamp hour battery
but despite charging via USB C doesn't support fast charging it supports up to
two amps at five volts by didn't get more than around 1.2 amps and it
wouldn't charge at all by a USB CT USBC cable a full charge takes around three
hours the power LED lights read whilst charging and in turns off when fully
charged you can use a speaker whilst charging but transplant recommends
against it for the longest battery lifespan a three-second press the power
button turns a speaker on the sound that can't be disabled the first time you
turn the speaker on it Lentz a bluetooth pairing mode with a power light flashing
blue connector Tron smart element 2 plus in your Bluetooth settings there's
another beep and the parity goes a steady blue the speaker will power up
automatically after 15 minutes if there's no music playback you can't turn
this feature off disappointingly you can only get to one speaker at a time like
all the other speakers I'm comparing it to you can pair to a second key to plus
speaker to create a stereo pair like with a trance mark force I don't have a
second speakers to try at this feature if you want to pair to another device
press and hold the play button for three seconds until the blue light starts
flashing indicating it's again ready for pairing if you have any connection
issues the manual suggests you should be able to reset the speaker and delete all
pairing records by holding down the play button at eight seconds with the speaker
on I didn't find this did anything the controls on the top can be a little
confusing and I had to repeatedly refer to the manual to remember their multiple
functions an extra bluetooth pairing button would have been useful the power
button turns a speaker on and off with a three-second press a single press
activates your voice assistant and an 80 second press forces of speakers to shut
off if it locks up which I didn't experience the N button is preparing
with a second T 2 plus speaker and switches between Bluetooth binding and
the microSD card if in use the play pause button also answers an ends a
phone call and is used for bluetooth pairing as previously discussed the
volume buttons also skip track for the long press there's no EQ button and no
dedicated out-of-control EQ you could make some adjustments by your device's
EQ settings you can copy music to a microSD card in a number of formats for
independent playback from the speaker music will be played back in
alphabetical order and loops continuously even after turning off the
speaker he continues to play back from its last position the 210
watt driver's with a rear venting passive radiator deliver a big sound for
such a small speaker and with an impressive amount of bass miss Jen
resound pretty clear but with busier tracks and that louder volumes the highs
can sound a bit harsh with no EQ adjustments it does depend a lot on what
you're listening to most tracks sound pretty well balanced but for some music
I found myself lowering the volume or just in the music apps EQ settings you
can hear for yourself how the trance mark 2 + sounds and listen to how it
compares to three other similar speakers the anchor sound chord - the anchor
sound called boost and the T 2 + his big brother the element of force I reviewed
all these speakers separately if you want to hear them play other tracks
track a lot of bass did highlight one significant issue regarding vibration
the speakers started to walk around the table - quite an alarming degree
definitely something to watch out for I recorded the sound test with binaural
microphones that captures stereo sound to try and provide the closest
representation of what I'm hearing please listen with headphones for the
best experience use a time sounds below to skip ahead if you like even
I guess it beside you think and that maybe you're not too
I guess it never it is a step up in sight in the sound court too but if that
doesn't bother you it's also louder with more presence and significantly more
bass sound called boost I think overall sounds better
but it's more expensive I did find the t2 plus had a little more clarity in the
mids the trance might element force has a very similar sound signature to the t2
plus but it's extra size an additional output is noticeable the speaker has the
latest Bluetooth 5.0 and the connection was generally reliable range was okay
and comparable to the other speakers I was testing it against making it to the
far end of the next room of my brick-built house around 10 meters away
but no further there's no support for the high-quality aptX or AAC codecs you
can always connect via the three-and-a-half millimeter cable or use
a micro SD card for potentially better sound quality
I've still got a slight audio synth delay with youtube on iOS like most of
the budgets because I've tested there's no noticeable delay with YouTube
on Android and Netflix on both platforms the built-in microphone is good enough
phone calls there's quite a bit of background hit even speaking toasts and
microphone the speaker is well built and feels robust and is ipx7 waterproof
rating held up fine in my testing battery life was very impressive
transfer mark quotes a whopping 24 hours at 50% volume I mostly used it at around
75 percent volume and got over 15 hours of usage off a full charge
there's a lot going for the Tron smart element - plus it's compact has a good
range of features including ipx7 waterproof rating excellent battery life
and it sounds quite impressive for its size and price maximum volume really is
pretty loud and the amount of basic manages the Kundra from its diminutive
size might surprise you although this does also bring with it one floor the
speaker might just bounce his way into trouble with Basie tracks something you
really do need to watch out for - a prone to balance speakers in precarious
locations if you want something even more compact which also has very good
battery life take a look at the anchor sound cord - I reviewed a while back it
doesn't have the base of the t2 plus but it's still a great little speaker if you
want a slightly more refined sound and more premium build there's a sound
called boost the boost also comes with a USB port to charge your gadgets and an
NFC quick pairing support it's more expensive and only has an IP x5 splash
proof rating jumping up in size and with a similar price of the boost the Tron
smart element force is quite similar to the t2 plus in a lot of ways with a
bigger sound NFC support and EQ modes there's also a tribute Mac sound plus I
couldn't quite squeeze into the sound test but another great option with
arguably the most balanced sound overall if you're after a truly portable robust
speaker with decent bass and a good feature set that can easily fill a small
room is definitely a speaker to consider but I'd love to know which is your pick
of speakers I've looked at or if there's one I've missed let me know down below
