Third-party reviews

What customers like about Tronsmart Splash 1

  • Excellent value for money and highly affordable
  • Reliable IPX7 waterproof rating ideal for shower and pool use
  • Impressive 24-hour battery life on a single charge
  • Compact, lightweight, and highly portable design with an included lanyard
  • Clear sound quality with well-detailed mids and crisp highs for its size
  • Stable Bluetooth connection and includes an auxiliary port for wired input
  • Robust and sturdy build quality that can survive outdoor drops

What customers don't like about Tronsmart Splash 1

  • Weak bass performance with a noticeable lack of deep low-end thump
  • True Wireless Stereo pairing process is convoluted and difficult to configure
  • No companion app or customisable EQ support
  • The integrated carrying lanyard string cannot be replaced if it breaks
  • Average overall volume performance that struggles in noisy environments like driving

Verdict

The Tronsmart Splash 1 is a compact, puck-shaped portable speaker weighing 260g and measuring 112x112x54mm, delivering a 15W maximum output via dual drivers, a passive radiator, and patented SoundPulse technology. Its core advantages include a highly resilient IPX7 waterproof rating, stable Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity with an 18-meter range, an auto-switching 7-color LED light show, True Wireless Stereo pairing, and an impressive 24-hour battery life from a 2200mAh capacity that charges via USB-C in 2 hours. However, it is held back by minor downsides such as a lack of dedicated companion mobile app support and its audio codec compatibility being strictly limited to standard SBC, with no higher-quality AAC or aptX options.
