Tronsmart Nimo in box
Nimo as a core product It doesn’t come in a fancy box. openly. It’s a pretty basic box that doesn’t honor the plating quality of the speaker itself. This box has a cardboard cover, under which a transparent window is hidden that allows you to see the device itself. It looks like it was designed to be hung in windows in physical stores.
I must say that the mood Sold both individually and in pairs.That is, if we buy one or another variant, we will have boxes with the same external appearance but different sizes.
Otherwise, when we open it, we don’t find much inside: transparent plastic protecting the speaker it’s in, USB-A to USB-C charging cable and a fairly short instruction booklet, but it includes everything you need.
Design
However, although the box does not make a good impression, the speaker itself stands out. It has a very careful metallic finish made of polished aluminum. rubber coated buttons; just a few that include an LED indicator, a microphone, and a USB-C port at the bottom for charging the battery.
At the top we find a grille for sound output, and at the bottom there is a passive rubber radiator for bass, which, to be honest, is not really necessary since they are not very powerful. Subtly hidden beneath this an extra button for reset speaker and thus disconnect from our devices. You have to press the rubber to feel the button is there.
We liked Nimo’s design very much. Prism shape with “round triangle” base. It can be purchased in four colors (black, gold, blue and green) and a rope to hang keychains, carabiners, or any hook that cannot be detached from the speaker.
In summary, in this department Tronsmart gets an outstanding score for offering an attractive, very thoughtful product. feeling being more expensive than it actually is.
Commissioning, Bluetooth connection and control
As a basic product and with virtually no extra functions, Nimo couldn’t be easier to set up, operate and connect.
As we said, we have three buttons in total (if Reset It is confidential and we will almost never use it). HE power button In addition to the speaker on and off function, it allows us to pair the first speaker with the second.
The two speaker pairing system is very simple: we just need to connect the first speaker to our smartphone or device, look for it in the list of available ones, once this is done we need to double press the power button on the second speaker (we will not do this). connected to the smartphone) and Automatically both will be paired and you can control playback from both.
This speaker has the so-called feature power button and multifunction buttonHowever No independent volume control buttons, this function must be executed from the smartphone or source device or through buttons with other functions. To go up, we must press the power button once while playing music, and to go down, we must press both buttons at the same time.
to be play and pause musicwith the second button, the multifunctional one, with a single press, which allows us Answer calls. To get the hang of them or advance the songs we will have to press twice and if we press three times we can go back to the tracks. The multifunction button also allows us to summon our smartphone’s voice assistant with a 2-second press.
Finally, button Reset It allows us to disconnect the speaker from the source with a 2-second press, completely reset it with a 5-second press, and force the speaker to turn off with an 8-second press.
No more functions: Tronsmart cannot connect to the smartphone app and therefore no further syncing is possible than our source device allows. Learning all the possible combinations and uses of the buttons can be a bit of a pain.although ultimately it’s just a matter of practice and trial and error.
Autonomy
For such a small device, the Nimo’s battery is one of its strong points. According to the brand (and we can almost count this as valid, because in our tests we were only a few minutes below claimed), this speaker offers: Up to 12 hours playback medium volume.
We consider these to be “standard” because we do not use much more than average volume. Since it is a speaker designed not to be placed too far on the table, it has a sufficient volume and also its strong point is not high volumes.
Nimo’s battery Fully charges in approximately two hours and the included USB-C cable is used for this, but if we lose this it won’t cost us to have a lot more cables on hand.
Sound
We come to what’s important in a speaker: sound. In this sense, we must be clear that we are dealing with a simple device (although its external casing suggests otherwise) and its small size, which does not allow it to have all the technology of the brand or other models on the market. .
He has a single driversThe diameter is not declared by the brand but The power it provides is 5W.
The sound it provides is somewhat metallic, with bass conspicuous by its almost complete absence. Still, it’s pretty crisp and clear and never obtrusive. Of course, this is always at mid-volume (which is why we said autonomy would be fulfilled), because at maximum volume distortion acts as an entity and the sound is not so pleasant anymore, especially when close to the speakers.
As we said, they are designed for desktop use, be it for a smartphone or laptop, but that doesn’t mean we can’t take them outside, enjoy background music, but we must make it clear that these are not for hosting a party. that its sound at maximum volume isn’t the best even outdoors.
It should be said in this section that They gain a lot when used in conjunction, in a pair. Stereo sound is much more attractive than a single speaker, and the truth is that the pair is worth buying outright for its price.
Other functions
In this analysis, there is almost no need for the “Other functions” section, which we usually reserve for all Bluetooth speakers. That’s what Nimo is for, and pretty much its only extra function is the ability to use it as a hands-free device.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that it is waterproof and has an IPX7 certificate, so we can take it to the shower without fear or hang it on the bike without fear of rain.
Price and results
The official price of this speaker is 22.99 euros per piece and 39.99 euros per pair. However, it must be said that it is easy to find it a little cheaper, for example on Powerplanet, where it is sold for 14.99 euros, or on AliExpress, where it can be seen for 18.82 euros.

For the rest, it must be said that we see them, although using them with a mobile phone is not bad at all. perfect as laptop speakers, because their size makes them perfect for carrying in your briefcase or backpack. You should clearly know that they do not offer a sound only for sybarites or audiophiles, but of course we cannot find too many speakers of this size from moderately well-known brands on the market.
