Morning all, If you wanted to see my previous review of the Element Mega, it's here: ua-cam.com/video/qAaFTfY2DL0/v-deo.html BUY THE TRONSMART T6 PLUS UK: amzn.to/2mdp2kx US: amzn.to/2nWFBSb BUY THE TRONSMART ELEMENT MEGA UK: amzn.to/2nWAKQY US: amzn.to/2nYkfnD BUY THE ECHO DESK STAND: UK: amzn.to/2UYl2n2 US: amzn.to/2GhfryS By buying through any of the links I will earn commission at no extra cost to you :)
I bought a T6 Plus a couple years ago and have used the hell of out by my pool here in the desert of SoCal, and I have loved it. Plus, it has worked great in 115+ weather, even in direct sunlight (which causes a phone to shut off within minutes), plus with misters constantly drenching it. But I decided I wanted some stereo sound and looked around and it seemed like I would need to spend about $300 to get something decent, most in that range having 60 watts of power. So I decided to spend $55 on another T6 Plus first to give it a chance, and wow, I couldn't be happier. I'm actually a little upset that I didn't buy a 2nd one 2 years ago. Having a pair of them paired up in TWS is truly amazing. They fill my backyard up with great sound that isn't so loud that my neighbors would complain, but easily could be that loud if I wanted with the 80 watts of power. My only complaints about the speakers are that the volume control sometimes works perfectly, and then sometimes takes cranking way farther to turn it up or down... not really that big of deal. My biggest complaint is that they need some sort of handle. Carrying one tube speaker was kind of annoying, but now having to carrying two of them each time I go out and back to the pool makes it even worse. A foldable half-circle handle on top seems so normal that it appears that they went out of their way to not have one. Sound-wise though... for an outdoor speaker, pairing up two of these for a total of $110, I really doubt anything under $300 comes close to how amazing they sound.
£27.00 from various sellers now. Im loving it and had no issues with volume control. Definitely better sound if you keep on white or green light for deeper bass. Im impressed .
Hello Paul Hibbert. First time watching you. Thank you. May i ask you smthing because of the honest review. Which do you suggest T6mini-T6-T6plus? Which is worth the pay ?T6mini in my mind because of the much portable but i dont sure sound quality is it close to t6 quality?
Definitely looking forward to the Spunky review. Did you reach out about the low volume issue to Tronsmart? Was it a faulty unit or maybe something firmware can fix?
Looks good, but when I checked out your affiliate link (UK) it is priced at £59 instead of the £48 in the video, and the video is three hours old! Crafty Amazon!
Great review, but you should really compare it to the tronsmart element force instead of the mega. Really interested in the review of the spunky pro. (Regular are already pretty good)
Thanks@@paulhibbert can you link this one and the other one you reviewed to work in stereo? I really like the idea of having the other one for the office but can't justify buying three of them :-)
I got two of the T6 Plus speakers; they do not pair. No yellow light comes on; both speakers just keep blinking blue. Sound only comes from one speaker. Any solution to this problem?
I totally agree with you, mine just arrived today. A bit disappointed that Mega has a better sound quality than t6 plus. Sold my Mega and got t6 plus, most likely I will be going back to my Mega. Just a bit disappointed.
I think what I am waiting for is a TV sound bar thingy that also does Echo TWS, but I have some twisted requirements. I want it to stay on in low-power mode to accept audio from Echo devices via hard wire or BT at my option for normal standby use, with the ability to step up to normal power mode by simple Alexa request. I also want it to sense the TV being turned on to take it to high power mode for the TV's separate hard-wired input. Point being... too much crap wants to suck too much power 24x7 these days. And no, I don't want a bunch of crappy "did it click or not?" buttons whether hidden underneath, on the side, in some finger crevice, or even right on its face. No buttons! No dials! Read my mind to set the volume.. ok, maybe I need to think about that one. But no more cheesy-assed IR remote controls with crappy buttons that you have to be some kind of Qigong master to get to work while neighbors walking by laugh at you through the windows. While they're at it they could also sell a single-input for Echo speaker pair that also stayed on in a very low power mode until directed to run at high power. Or for both of these fictitious products find some way to stay in very low power mode and quickly sense "in use" and step up on demand. Sure, add some latency on idle step-down, but I want to see like 1 watt power consumption on idle, tops. Ok, maybe 2 watts. USB charging? They can put that where the sun don't shine. I'd rather have a night light feature in it first, preferably triggerable and schedulable as a smart device. Next they can add a beer fridge before I need yet another doo-dad with some inefficient, probably fire hazard, USB charging circuit vampiring up the power 24x7. Is this asking too much? Are we not living in the 21st Century?
@@paulhibbert I was referring to the new Echo Studio devices which can be paired and have Alexa built in, but at around £200 each may be a tad expensive, but they do have a really good sound with 3 mid range speakers and a tweeter each plus Dolby Atmos compatibility. Probably need the sub for decent bass though. I have a dot paired blu-tooth to my Denon amp, sounds fantastic too. :)
@@AlanLifeson The previous echos can also be paired in stereo not just the new studio. I have two echos paired myself. Downside, stereo only works with amazon music or paid services...
@@chrisbloem6639 I didn't know about pairing dots etc.. but I've never looked into it as it's very rare I use them for music, I much prefer playing FLAC lossless from my NAS to my amp because it has the facility.
I bet your amp sound a billion times better than the new echos paired together! Wish I could afford two full sized new echos to test them out, but I suspect it's all hype.
Do they have balance control? I've yet to discover a wireless Bluetooth stereo system that can adjust balance. I find this an incredibly silly oversight. They've included everything else. You're forced to move the speakers about & that can't always be done.
You can Stereo Pair she who shall not be named, i know this because i have done so on my bedside tables. It works as it should with seperate channels for L and R. Not just mono out of 2 speakers. Easily noticable by ANYTHING by The Beatles.
I bought 5 of the 3nd Gen. They're a bit cutesy to look at. I didn't buy them for the sound quality, but for the size, they are quite punchy. I like them. I still have a 1st Gen in the house, and it is utterly awful. It needs a good slapping with a wet fish.
@@paulhibbert ive just been and checked... the one i want to kill to death is a 2nd Gen..... i hate it more than i hated my former mother in law, and that''s a lot. Coincidentally she also heard stuff from 2 rooms away, but pretty much every thing that came out of her sounded like poo.
I have a 2nd gen one too and it's terrible. I ask she who shall not be named a question in the living room and the echo show in the kitchen responds. The 2nd gen in the living room just doesn't hear me or thinks I'm in the kitchen
Nice job spunky.... So what I took from this video is that your knob is a bit erratic and you like it when your ring is lit up 😆 Thanks for the laugh man, I needed it after getting spanked by Japan in the rugby 😥
Time for some idiot input.... ahem... I may have misinterpreted your statement(s), but I don't think Goggle Homme or Amaizin Echo can SEND anything -to- bluetooth speakers, so I'm a little (more) confused about the apparent (to an idiot) claim that you CAN use these thingos' to send stereophonic Doof Doof to a pair of Tronsmart speakers. You can plug an Echo whatever into auxiliary speakers (but not Goggle Homme) and I have one set-up as thus. Looking forward to clarification and/or pity.
Yeah, No time left for the rewiew of the third speaker announced at the start. Simply Just runned Out of time. Because Videos on UA-cam can't be longer than 10:38 Minutes. Wtf?
@@paulhibbert and of course you Take some of your time to answer all those stupid comments on the forums. Go on Like this, i really like your videos...
Spunky...ha hahahaha He said spunky. Splashproof is good for thinks spunky! You should have expected all these jokes when you did this video. I don't want to turn the knob on something spunky. Lol
They're nice! The battery life is great and the charging case is super handy. They charge mega fast so they're probably the most convenient buds I've had so far. That said you can't just drop them back in their case, it takes a little practice to get good at putting them away, they always seem to be upside down on my first attempt EVERY time. Sound wise they're a bit muddy in the upper mids, but only if you're comparing them side by side to an expensive set. They have a pleasing warm sound to them, but as a bit of a hi-fidelity freak I won't be dropping my wired set any time soon. They are great for wondering round or exercising though when a cable is inconvenient. Looks wise they are great, the case is especially pretty and so are the buds. Functionality; it's touch sensitive which is dead cool, but a bit awkward in practice. Playing and pausing music by touching it is cool, but holding it for just the right length to start an awkward conversation with your voice assistant isn't gonna happen, and turning volume up and down goes wrong all the time, I was trying to turn them down, but tapping it the right number of times is a pain and you end up putting the volume up instead, too many mistakes and you're deafening yourself 😂 Overall I think they're a great little set of buds, but they aren't without their flaws. Probably the best set I've been sent to date, but there's still plenty of room for improvement 😊
Not that good really the battery failed and it's a nightmare to replace ... Looks like a common fault if the repair videos are anything to go by . Nice when paired by a FAIL because of the battery issues

I offered those "Spunky" PRO to my girlfriend, and she loves them.

Nice, ive been looking for an outdoor speaker to take camping and this looks cracking.
Thanks Paul
This is the perfect use case for this one mate! :) If you can afford two then the stereo pairing makes a world of difference for me :)
