We were able to try another Tronsmart speaker, which didn’t disappoint either.

Introductory

We were very happy for him when a Tronsmart representative contacted us to see if we would like to try one of their speakers. The Battery T6 arrived and took me off my feet, but not only me, but all my acquaintances I showed it to.

The article was published and I got another letter back last fall that there would be another Element here, the Mega, what would I say if I could try it. Of course, I nodded that nothing would happen for months then. But to my great surprise, the postman rang last week and brought the Element Mega, which I had already completely abandoned.

Wrapping

The speaker box, like the T6, is a really good quality piece. The lid has a magnetic lock here as well, the workmanship is not at all common in this category. Highlighting the speaker, we find a smaller box in the soft packaging, with two cables, a USB and a jack-jack cord, as well as an instruction manual.

Exterior and interior

While the Element T6 looked like a thermos, the Element Mega is more like a half-brick, but not only because of its shape but also its weight, which is no less than 662 grams. Of course, the large weight is surprising if we know how much iron is in the box. In addition to two traditional speakers, a passive subwoofer has been built into this small product compared to its performance. At least I think it’s passive because no value has been added in any of the descriptions for performance, but the membrane is in the middle and “sounds” as well. If I guess correctly, air moved from the back of the speakers is led behind the membrane.

You usually can’t write much about a Bluetooth-blessed speaker because they don’t know much about connecting to your phone and playing some music. However, with Tronsmart Element Mega, the situation is a little different!

So the Bluetooth connection is a given, but the extra thing here is the TWS function, which we used to read about Bluetooth ears lately. This capability is what makes it possible for Apple Airpod-like devices to connect stuff to the ears on both sides without a cable, and then use the two separate Bluetooth devices as one, in stereo mode. Well, Element Mega also knows this trick, meaning we can get not one, but two such speakers, connect them, one coming with the stereo on the right - the other on the left channel. With this solution, you have a pair of Bluetooth speakers with a total power of 80 watts right at home, with which you can replace a sound projector installed under a TV, for example.

If you don’t want to use Bluetooth but stay connected wirelessly, all you need is an NFC-capable phone. True, we can't stream music from a distance of 20 meters, but we can use it easily, without cables and without special configuration.

We know full well that a Bluetooth connection is not good for music quality. It’s not that Beethoven will become Back Street Boys, but that there won’t be as many signals passing through the tight cross-section as we can listen to good-quality, loss-free compressed music. Tronsmart Mega also offers a solution for this. You can also use a memory card or a cable connection. In the latter, of course, mobility is compromised, but for something.

Foam on the cake that Element Mega even functions as a speakerphone. Let’s somehow imagine this by putting it on our desk, listening to music (or not), and when an incoming call comes in, we don’t have to pick up the phone or stop work, just hang up the conversation. I'm a little dissatisfied with the built-in microphone, it could have been more sensitive, but it doesn't fall into the useless category either.

What you still need to talk about is the controls on the top of the speaker. The buttons look very good, which are not physically connectable, but touch sensitive. Due to the backlight, they are easy to find even in the dark, in fact, due to the brightness, they are often “too” easy, it would have been worthwhile to solve that it could have been adjusted in at least two, but even better, three degrees.

Operation, experience

Since the Element T6 set the bar high for us, we hoped that the Element Mega wouldn’t get any worse either. Well, it didn't. Surprisingly loud sounds come out of the box, and what’s welcome is they do it surprisingly cleanly. At maximum volume there is already a slight distortion, listening loudly the treble sounds pretty weird, a little too sharp. However, the deep is fine everywhere, it produces a decent rumble compared to the size, you also need rubber soles on the bottom so you don’t want to climb on the table. The mid-range isn’t a craze, but it’s no wonder it was probably not designed to give back the speech range as nicely as possible. Of course, this doesn't help the speakerphone function either, but I don't think it's important, but listening to music is important.

It is very interesting that despite the small size, the stereo effect feels nice. For speakers like Mega, I often find that because of the speakers sitting close together, the stereo essentially disappears completely, but not here. The stage image is surprisingly wide, the right and left are nicely separated.

As I wrote above, the controls are touch sensitive, backlit. They are perfect to use even with a light touch, it’s hard to “push” the buttons. As you may have read, criticism may reach the solution at most because it is not possible to adjust the brightness, or perhaps some small indicator light and a backlight that turns on as we approach our hands would have been enough. But I also feel like it’s just a search for the bunch on the poop, so I won’t even insist anymore.

Summary

After the Tronsmart Element T6, the expectations were already high, and this is not good for a test, it can easily set the tester aside if the otherwise perfect subject falls a little lower than expected. Well, luckily for Tronsmart Element Mega, that didn’t happen. The quality has brought the expected level both inside and out. I’m not saying he put it on with a shovel because that would be an exaggeration, but since the T6 was also essentially flawless, we can’t want more from the Mega either.

Pleasant sound listening softly, strong and deep pounding raising the volume, nicely separated right and left channels, strong stereo effect. The variety of ways we can transfer music to the speakers is really engaging and I really like it, although unfortunately I didn’t have the opportunity to try the TWS feature.

Overall, it convinced me, and even surprised me, because I looked at how much it cost just now, writing the last lines of the article. When I got to know the product, I expected at least 5-6 thousand forints more, so I really feel the gross price of 15 forints. It is a special pleasure that this price is understood by the domestic official distributor, where, of course, a domestic guarantee awaits us.
