A new one in Comprastitución bluetooth speaker Tronsmart brand. This time a travel model, Tronsmart TripThe , is small and comfortable and, as always, offers excellent value for money. In this analysis, we tell you all about it.

in the box

This speaker comes in a rather modest box. Small in size, the materials do not boast any. Inside we find the speaker, 3.5mm jack auxiliary cable, USB C charging cable, user manual and warranty card. It doesn’t need any more.

Design

When it comes to design, this Tronsmart Trip can’t deny that it was inspired by the JBL Go, yes it has a less compact size than that. Despite this, its dimensions are very comfortable, as you would expect from a speaker whose nickname invites you to travel with it. Specifically, we have measures 4x20x8cm and only weight 410 grams.

we can even buy six color combinations different. They are all covered with fabric and have a very big brand name on the front.

At the top we find the controls that could not be simpler, just five buttons with the icon corresponding to its function and made of hard plastic.

Meanwhile, on the left small lanyard It acts as a handle that is not removable and can be hung with (or without) a carabiner on backpacks or anywhere else it can be attached.

On the right, we have Rubber cover protecting the USB-C connector from watercharging and 3.5mm jack connector And nothing on the back that distorts the shape of the speaker.

At the bottom we have a pair of rubber-covered feet that serve to prevent the speaker from slipping off the surface we place it on.

Commissioning and controls

Using this Tronsmart Trip is a real piece of cake. this five buttons current models do not have as many functions as other models from the brand, and the icons they represent make it clear what each one is for.

We’ve got open and closedTo activate our speaker, we need to press and hold it for two seconds.

Comes with second button bluetooth icon, and to pair with the second speaker. This is a pretty simple process. In this model we only need to turn on the second speaker and press the same button. With this, we will get a light indication whether the operation was successful or not.

this volume buttonsThe , represented by the plus and minus symbols, is used to both increase and decrease the volume. watch forward or backward. If we want to use this second option, we must hold them while using a simple touch to change the volume.

Finally, between the previous two, we have the typical triangle representing the following. play and pause button, in this case it has no other function. Also, as we said, on the right we have the charging port and 3.5 mm jack connector, which does not have more functions than we expected. Among them, we have an LED light that tells us if the speaker is charging when we connect it to the network, it turns off when it is done, or we have the second speaker connected well.

this Pairing this speaker couldn’t be easier, either.. We connected it to several devices and in no case did it give us any trouble or cause us to try more than once.

Features and benefits

As is often the case with such devices, in addition to just the speaker, we have some extra functions. For example, we have integrated microphonewhich allows us to use hands free when listening to music and receiving a call.

To make things easier, if we want to use auxiliary sound sourceBy connecting the 3.5mm jack cable to an external source, speaker automatically disconnects from any device we connect. Likewise, if we unplug the jack cable, the Bluetooth goes back to the audio source. This saves us from having to switch resources using any button.

On the other hand, the least we can expect in a speaker designed to be taken outside is waterproofand this Tronsmart Trip offers us: IPX7 certification.

As for the battery, in this speaker 2,000mAhAlthough our tests got us, it takes about three hours to fully charge, according to the brand. about three and a half hoursit is charging, yes, when the battery is completely empty.

The autonomy that the brand promises, 20 hours at 50% volumeHowever, we haven’t been able to get that far. Use it at 50% volume we reached about 14 and a half hours until we reach 20% battery level (something we always try to respect to maximize battery life) when we start to hear the beeping sound warning us to plug it in. A time that seems very respectable to us for the size of this speaker. Of course the speaker shuts down to conserve the battery with just a few warnings for us to charge it. It’s a good thing, but it may not be to everyone’s liking.

In this case, what We can’t find compatibility with the brand’s app, at least for now; We don’t know if Tronsmart is in the plans to add it later. For this reason, the equalization, closing, etc. we have in other models of the brand. functions are not absent in such a simple model.

Sound

If we’re clear on the speaker’s price and the type of device we’re talking about, this Tronsmart Trip surprises us. Two full-range speakers tuned with the brand’s SoundPulse technology, without delivering the world’s best sound. delivers very high quality and clear sound even at high volumes. It’s a sound with strong bass, albeit slightly weighed down by the plastic surfaces of the speaker.

We also tested the microphone in calls and indoors. We had no problems understanding ourselves or listening to our interlocutor.. Things change in the noisy outdoors, but we couldn’t ask for more from a speaker in this range.

price and results

With an official price of 28.99 Euros for this model, it seems like a highly recommended purchase to us. For little money we will have sound quality in a very comfortable size that can be carried anywhere, plus it is waterproof.

But if the price is already very suitable for us, it increases with the discount coupons we can find on Amazon, and this can vary between 30% and 15% depending on the color. So, for example, if we choose black, which already has a lower price, €25.99With a 30% discount coupon applied, we can get this speaker for a ridiculous 18.19 Euros, quite a bargain.
