sound mark Tronsmart Bang continues to expand its speaker family. If we already have three models for sale, now it’s time to see the “born” of the youngest but biggest model. Bang Max. As in other cases, they left us a unit to test it and give you our impressions.

in the box

We are talking about the biggest model of the brand to date. This elevates the box to a new level and is now much bulkier than seen in other speakers in the range.

It is no different in design and appearance than those seen on other Tronsmart speakers: it is covered in white, with photos and icons on the side showing some of the most notable features this has to offer. Bang Max.

Materials packaging These are far beyond reasonable quality, and inside, speaker and necessary cablesalong with the normal user manual and warranty card.

Included cables are: load On the one hand, it is not USB-C type, but with an external transformer (battery is very large), although with flat pin (we will need an extra adapter to use it in our country) and an auxiliary cable 3.5mm jackThis will come in handy if we want to connect a non-Bluetooth device as an audio source.

Design

We are facing a model from the Bang family (Bang, Bang Mini and Bang SE, and if we already know this, we already know what to expect): a portable speakerfrom those that have an elongated shape (almost a cylindrical airship), keep it on top and designed for outdoor use.

Plastic materials look like this very durable and shockproof and the speaker’s fabric mesh cover adds a touch of quality to the set.

On the front we find a plastic part bearing the logo and logo of the brand. top control button This. A little higher up, we see the carrying handle, which has a rubber coating on the inside for non-slip.

Behind him as always rubber cover to protect the sockets and connectors of the speaker: this shows that it is a water resistant model like almost all of the brand. can boast IPX6 class protection.

On both sides we find a large radiator for subwoofers. one RGB LED ring light At the bottom, we have a rubber-coated backing to prevent the speaker from slipping due to the vibration produced by the strong bass.

Commissioning and controls

As always, starting and pairing the Tronsmart Bang Max is child’s play. we just have to open it and search the bluetooth devices list to our smartphone (or the device we want to connect to). The speaker will be paired quickly.

On the top button panel we find the usual controls of the other models and some extras: from left to right the battery charge control LEDs, the on and off button, the Bluetooth button, the volume down button, Play, the volume up button, the stereo pairing button, SoundPulse, TuneConn and Echo.

The speaker has four small LEDs that are tasked with showing the battery charge. Each represents 25% of that.

HE power button and when the speaker is off, it serves this purpose as well as toggling between the speaker’s LED lighting modes. A 2-second press will turn it on or off, and a one-second short press will switch to the next lighting mode. It also has a memory that remembers which lighting we left off the last time we used it.

HE bluetooth button It is used to disconnect that connection at any time, which will help us connect another device or use resources such as an auxiliary 3.5 mm jack.

volume buttonsIn addition to increasing or decreasing this value, they are also useful when we press and hold for two seconds to move pieces forward or backward.

Among them, Play/Pause button Besides playing or pausing our music, it also allows us to switch between audio sources if we hold it down for two seconds.

HE stereo pairing button It helps us connect two speakers together, but we don’t think it makes much sense to have a button at the same time. TuneConnIt allows you to connect up to 100 speakers. This seems to us to be a repeating function that remains virtually unchanged from a user perspective in the number of speakers that can be connected.

button on the other hand SoundPulseAs with almost all models of the brand, it allows us to use Tronsmart’s own balancing mode, we can only activate and deactivate it: it does not give access to more balancing modes.

Follow the button mentioned above TuneConnAs we say used for this kind of “party mode”, it offers us the ability to connect up to 100 compatible speakers together.

Finally echo button It will help us to take advantage of the karaoke function of the speaker, where we can connect one or two microphones or guitars.

this speaker no hands free mode Like the other models of the brand, we do not find it necessary to focus more on parties and outdoor use.

Burst Maximum It is also a model compatible with iOS or Android app. that the brand offers us for free. However, we will have more options for controlling and equalizing the speaker; options not available on the speaker itself, such as programmed shutdown, equalization modes beyond SoundPulse (up to 5), control of three lighting modes, or updating the speaker firmware. It is the ideal complement to an already finished speaker.

As for the connection options, we will find a slot behind the rear rubber cover. microSD cardsa port USB Type-A To connect flash drives or use the speaker as a speaker portable chargerA 3.5mm jack plug to use as an auxiliary resource, two 6.3 mm jack plugs for two microphones or one microphone plus guitar, each with its own volume control dial independent, one take control and one receipt To charge the battery and use the powered speaker.

Functions and benefits

This is a very, very complete speaker, and it’s remarkable. 130W powerwhich yes, we do see some shortcomings like hands-free mode or access to our phone’s voice assistant (easy to forgive, yes).

What it offers us RGB LED lighting Possibility to use up to 3 different modes, karaoke mode or as a guitar amplifier.

really? 5 possible sound sources speaker offers us: Bluetooth 5.3 (fixed up to 18 meters distance), MicroSD memory card, USB-A flash drives, microphones or guitar and 3.5mm auxiliary. Also, if we connect a pair of speakers together or have the possibility to connect up to 100 speakers, we get stereo sound.

As we said, we have water resistance, IPX5 certified In this case, we do not miss the opportunity to use the 18.000 mAh battery as a powerbank to charge our smartphone via the USB Type A port.

Much more can be asked from a Bluetooth speaker.

Autonomy

In the case of the Tronsmart Bang Max always relative autonomy on paper, the battery of the battery 18,000mAh, gives for all-day playback at medium volume. If we use the karaoke mode at 60% volume, these numbers drop a lot; especially until 10am. We haven’t tried the karaoke mode, but we can say that you can reach this 24 hours as long as the battery is in good condition, the lighting is off and we use the speaker at 50% of the volume. Things change if we use the LED lighting or the volume at the highest level, and it’s easy to stay between 18 and 16 hours of use.

Of course, a large battery requires a longer charging time. If we want to have a full battery it will cost us 5 hours when the speaker is connected to a power outlet.

Sound

In the most important part of the bluetooth speaker, say: there is no problem with this speaker. Its monstrous 130W of power enables party-building anywhere; better outdoors, but also better indoors as it doesn’t distort even at maximum volume.

With them two 30W woofers, two 20W midrange tweeters and two 10W tweetersBang Max offers a frequency response from 50 to 20,000 Hz that perfectly covers the entire range and delivers enviable bass(especially in a price range like that of this model), in addition to sharp and clean highs.

sound too Enhanced with SoundPulse sync offered by the brand via a dedicated control button or app. But it is also commendable that 4 different modes and a fully customizable mode are offered, ensuring that we can always fully enjoy our favorite sound.

price and results

As we said, the price of this speaker is one of its biggest assets. The recommended price for this model is 229.99 euros, but now we can get it for around 179.99 euros, for example with Tronsmart Trip as a promotional offer. Gift.

So if we are looking for a speaker that can be used for both indoor and outdoor parties without running out of battery, Bang Max becomes an excellent option beyond its attractive price range and much lower than more well-known brands.
