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 Splash

  • Excellent value for the price
  • Strong and robust build quality suitable for outdoor use
  • Highly portable, lightweight, and compact form factor
  • Great water resistance (IP67 rating) making it perfect for the shower or pool
  • Good sound quality with clean mids, clear highs, and decent bass for its size
  • Supports True Wireless Stereo (TWS) pairing to link two speakers together
  • Conveniently includes a lanyard or carabiner for easy hanging
  • Long-lasting battery life

What customers don't like about Tronsmart Element Splash

  • Lacks a 3.5mm AUX audio jack input
  • The external matte texture can scratch easily
  • Audio can distort or cramp up at maximum volumes
  • The user manual can be vague or frustrating to follow
  • Bluetooth 4.2 protocol feels outdated compared to newer standards

Verdict

The Tronsmart Element Splash is a rugged, puck-shaped portable speaker equipped with Bluetooth 4.2 connectivity, a 7W maximum power output, and an IP67 dust and water resistance rating. Powered by a 1,000mAh lithium battery that charges in 2 hours via a micro USB port, it delivers up to 10 hours of continuous audio playback and features an integrated microSD card slot alongside True Wireless Stereo (TWS) functionality to pair two units together. Main pros include its highly durable rubberized exterior, an included carabiner for easy portability, and surprisingly loud volume with audible bass for its size. However, notable cons include the lack of a standard 3.5mm auxiliary audio port, a protective matte exterior finish that is prone to scratching easily, and a restricted runtime of only 2 to 3 hours when pushed to maximum volume.
