Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Tronsmart Element Force

  • Powerful 40W audio output with impressive maximum volume for its size
  • Deep and rich bass response, especially when using the Extra Bass equalizer setting
  • Excellent value for money compared to higher-priced flagship brands
  • Highly durable, ruggedized exterior that withstands drops and rough handling
  • IPX7 waterproof rating makes it fully submersible and great for outdoor use
  • Versatile playback options including Bluetooth 5.0, NFC touch pairing, MicroSD card slot, and 3.5mm AUX input
  • True Wireless Stereo feature allows easy pairing with a second unit for expanded sound
  • Modern USB-C fast charging capabilities

What customers don't like about Tronsmart Element Force

  • Noticeable sound distortion when playing music at maximum volume levels
  • The default 'Standard' EQ profile can sound flat or lacklustre
  • The '3D Stereo' mode can make the audio feel thin, overly processed, or lower the volume
  • Lacks support for high-quality audio codecs such as aptX or AAC
  • Slight audio-to-video sync latency when streaming videos on certain mobile platforms
  • Control buttons on the device body can be difficult to see or read in low lighting
  • Battery life drops significantly from the advertised 15 hours to around 5 hours when played continuously at high volumes
  • No automatic standby or auto-power-off mode to preserve battery during inactivity

Verdict

The Tronsmart Element Force is a rugged, highly portable Bluetooth 5.0 speaker featuring a powerful 40W maximum output driven by dual 20W active drivers and dual passive radiators. Its robust hardware incorporates a massive 6600mAh battery (dual 3300mAh cells) providing up to 15 hours of playback time at medium volume, a versatile USB-C charging interface, a microSD/TF card slot, a 3.5mm auxiliary jack, and convenient NFC one-touch pairing. Key advantages include an IPX7 waterproof rating for full submersion protection, dynamic SoundPulse digital signal processing with three switchable EQ audio modes, and True Wireless Stereo (TWS) linking capabilities. However, its acoustic tuning is notably heavy on deep bass, which can occasionally compromise mid-range clarity at lower volumes, and it lacks a USB-A power bank output feature to charge external devices.
