  1. Tronsmart Bang SE

    4.00 star(s)
    The Tronsmart Bang SE is another member of Tronsmart's Bang family of outdoor party speakers. I would call it the smaller brother to the Bang Mini on power but makes up for it on eye catching LED show. Here we can see the Bang SE and its box. Next to the patriarch of the family, the Bang on the right, SE on the left. In person, Bang SE is more portable, smaller with a convenient carry strap that attaches to hooks on the handle. This is also the first look at the LED light effects on the speakers, those are the two full range drivers on the...
  2. Tronsmart T7

    4.00 star(s)
    Tronsmart T7 I have a few Tronsmart speakers now, and the closest I have would be the Trip. That is a step up in convenience and size, but a step down on everything else. T7 is a bit bigger but definitely an upgrade over Trip. Specs: Wireless Version: 5.3 Wireless Range: Up to 18m/59ft (Open Area) Input Power: 5V/2A, via Type-C port Output: 30W Microphone: Built-in IP Rating: IPX7 Play Time (Varied by Volume Level & Audio Content): Up to 12 Hours(Varied by Light Display) Charging Time: 3 Hours Frequency Range: 60Hz – 20kHz Playing Modes...
  3. Tronsmart Bang Max

    4.50 star(s)
    Tronsmart Bang Max I am going to start here for those of you familiar with the previous Bang model The Bang Max box is small indication of how much larger the Max is over the previous model. No handle on top of the Max box, you have two cut outs on the sides for carrying with both hands. Some of this is perspective, but yes, the Bang Max is much larger than Bang. Max on top, regular Bang lower, From the front: The Bang looks like a Mini compared to the Max. For those into numbers: Bang: Product Dimension361 x 183.4 x 150.3 mm/ 14.2 x 7.2...

    4.00 star(s)
    Tronsmart Onyx Pure Hybrid Dual Driver Headphones Tronsmart Onyx Pure is the latest TWS from Tronsmart and the unique feature on Pure is the hybrid dual driver configuration. Not common at any price for TWS, but under $20usd is even less common.

  6. Tronsmart Trip Waterproof Portable Speaker

    4.50 star(s)
    Tronsmart Trip Waterproof Portable Speaker Tronsmart Trip is a new affordable Bluetooth speaker designed as a very portable, on-the-go-sized speaker that can still deliver on sound quality. The Trip is really meant as a throw it in your bag on the way out speaker solution and does well fulfilling that role.

  8. Tronsmart Onyx Prime Dual-Armature Driver Wireless Earbuds QCC3040 BT 5.2

    4.00 star(s)
    Tronsmart Onyx Prime Intro: The Tronsmart Onyx Prime is a hybrid TWS with a 1DD 1BA driver configuration. For Bluetooth 5.2 support, it uses the well-known QCC3040 chip supporting AptX Adaptive which is backward compatible with AptX. Non-AptX users have AAC or SBC. USB-C charging. The manufacturer stated runtime of 40 hours is optimistically based on recharging more than a few times. Packaging: Nicer and larger than I expected for the price. Inside you will find replacement ear hooks and a set of tips. Also a cool diagram showing the hybrid...
  9. KBEAR Aurora

    4.50 star(s)
    KBEAR Aurora Disclaimers: I received this review sample from KeepHifi. I am a BL03 fan/lush mid fan so Aurora's signature is one that I like very much. Aurora is the rare set that comes along that so closely matches my own preferences that I would consider it a bias in this case, I was almost predisposed to love this one. Specs: 1 10mm titanium dome dynamic driver, mirrored shells. recessed 2pin. Accessories: Leather case and KBEAR KB07 tip set, electric blue SPC cable, cleaning cloth, brush Build: Stunning metal shells polished to mirror...
  10. KB Ear KB06

    4.00 star(s)
    Intro: The KBEAR KB06 is a recent release by the relatively new company KBEAR. The KB06 is a 2BA 1DD hybrid which is not common in the under $30 range where you mostly find 1BA 1DD. In the under $30 range, ChiFi fans usually recommend the KZ ZSN or ZSN Pro or Sony MH755 as I have done here in the past. The KB06 is another alternative offering a more natural sound, better soundstage, and plenty of bass. I think those characteristics will appeal to some users looking for recommendations in the under $30 category. Fit and Finish: It is quite small and...
  11. KZ ZSX

    4.50 star(s)
    TL;DR It is everything good about the ZS10 Pro but better. KZ still needs to tighten the bass and thicken the improved treble. Intro: The KZ ZSX is the latest hybrid IEM from KZ utilizing 1DD and 5BA. Coming from the ZS10P, that is an extra BA which happens to be a new model fo KZ called the DWEK (actually 2 DWEKs used in the ZSX). On paper, that is the biggest change from the ZS10P. Packaging: New fancy packaging for the ZSX. Cable: Same cable as the ZS10P. I wasn’t very impressed with the ZSX with the standard cable. I have no proof, but some...
  12. KB Ear F1

    4.00 star(s)
    Intro: The KB EAR F1 was the second earphone from KB EAR between the Opal and the KB10. The Opal is a single dynamic driver and this F1 is a single balanced armature. This is the first BA only earphone I had tried so I had some preconceived ideas of what it would sound like without a dynamic driver. Luckily my assumptions proved wrong and the F1 turned out to be a unique and capable addition to my collection. Gear: LG V30+ phone, USB Audio Player Pro (kept it in Bit Perfect mode), most tracks either MQA from Tidal or local FLAC. Fit and Finish: As...
  13. KZ ZS10 Pro

    4.50 star(s)
    Disclaimer: The KZ ZS10 Pro was provided by Yooaudio and can be purchased here: https://www.amazon.com/Headphones-****-Earphones-Balanced-mic/dp/B07QTPSTHM/ Packaging: Coming from the KZ ZSN Pro, upgraded color packaging. Standard cable and tip selection though. Comfort: The ZS10 Pro has been described as an improved ZSN Pro but using the same shell. I am firmly on the side of the ZSN Pro being one of the most comfortable IEM KZ has put out and the ZS10 Pro doesn’t change that. Same shell, same great fit and comfort. Sound: I will side with...
