Tronsmart Onyx Prime earbuds review

Andrew Allen
-
0

Tronsmart has long made quality wireless accessories at a price lower than most other brands. The company was kind enough to load us the latest offering from their lineup. Let’s find out how the truly wireless Tronsmart Onyx Prime earbuds stack up in this full review.

Design

The Onyx Prime earbuds have an interesting take on design. They have a similar silicone loop for securing the earpiece inside the ear, but the rest is very unique. The overall look of these tear-dropped earbuds is very angular and somewhat futuristic looking.

Past the angles is a pretty standard affair of the mentioned looped securement and silicone covering over the tip to help with noise cancellation. This combination also adds a great element of comfort for using the Tronsmart Onyx Prime for longer periods.

Internally, you’ll find a Qualcomm aptX experience paired with hybrid dual drivers. IPX4 water resistance is also onboard as well as Bluetooth 5.2 for better connections.

Controls

You can’t have a modern wireless earbuds entry without touch controls. Tronsmart has made sure to include these with the Onyx Prime headphones. With a few gestures, you can manage your playback without reaching for your phone each time.

Tapping twice on either Onyx Prime earbud will start or pause playback. This motion will also answer or end a phone call. These are two of the most used touch controls you can find and it’s nice to see this function on both earbuds.

You can lower or raise the volume thru touch as well. The right earpiece will raise the volume with a single tap and will lower decibels with a  press of the left side.

A long press of two seconds will move you thru tracks on the Onyx Prime. Holding this tap on the left earbud moves you back a track, while the same on the right-hand side skips forward in the playlist. The same cadence on either earbud will reject an incoming phone call.

Rounding out these controls on the Tronsmart Onyx Prime earbuds is voice assistants. This one’s a little tricky and took me some time to master but you can activate Google Assistant, Bixby, or Siri with a double-tap and hold for one second.

Audio

Playback performance is pretty good for music and podcasts. It’s a little more muted than some others but the overall sound comes out balanced. I wish at times there was a little more punch in the bass for music, but find it’s very good at pure vocal tracks like podcasts.

Phone calls have been stellar. I found that both parties had an easy time hearing and talking during the conversation. I had zero complaints while taking phone calls over the holidays while testing the Tronsmart Onyx Prime earbuds.

Battery

Another above-average aspect has been battery life. The unofficial baseline for wireless earbuds is four hours of playback and Tronsmart has blown this out of the water with seven hours of playback per charge. I found this estimate to be very realistic in daily use.

Pair this with the included battery case and you can push out 40-hours of total playback. When you do need to hit the outlet, it takes about two hours to charge the case and Tronsmart Onyx Prime earbuds using USB-C.

Conclusion

Tronsmart rarely disappoints and the Onyx Prime wireless earbuds are no exception. For the budget-minded, these headphones offer a good value for those wanting solid performance for less than Apple or Samsung.

You can pick up the Tronsmart Onyx Prime via Amazon for under $70 full retail. With the long list of specs and above-average battery life, these earbuds should be on anyone’s holiday gift wishlist.

Onn Android TV streaming stick and dongle review

Andrew Allen
-
0

People don’t often purchase a new TV. Many studies show that it’s a once-a-decade buy for most households. With this, streaming devices meant to augment older TVs are almost priceless in the digital age of on-demand content from the likes of Netflix, Hulu, and Disney. Wal-Mart has recently entered this market with two devices running Android TV and I’ve been using these for about a month with pretty positive results.

Design

Wal-Mart has released these two units under its Onn tech brand. The more budget-friendly Onn Streaming Stick is exactly that. If you’ve seen a Roku or Amazon Fire TV stick, then this will be very familiar. Essentially, it’s a USB thumb drive-sized streamer with an HDMI and micro-USB power input port.

The Onn Android TV Stick is full HD only. While for most this isn’t a big issue, but if 1080p is hard on your eyes, it’s worth a mention. It’s also a nice reason to consider the upgrade to the dongle version.

The Onn Streaming dongle is a slight upgrade from the stick. You get a small square box that’s roughly 3″x3″ in size. Again, you have a micro-USB power port on one side and an HDMI out on the opposite. Once you plug both into the Onn and you have a ready-made Android TV experience.

As mentioned, the Onn Android TV dongle takes the video experience up a notch. You can stream in full 4K quality with this little magic box.

Both the Onn Android TV streaming Stick and dongle come with the same remote and that’s a good thing. The remote is based on the Google G10 reference design. This leads to a well-laid out and comfortable remote.

You have the basic D-pad for navigation with hardware shortcuts for Favorites, Google Assistant, and Settings just above. Below you have the Back, Home, and Live TV buttons. Rounding out the Android TV experience are dedicated buttons for streaming services. You will find YouTube, Netflix, Disney+, and HBO Max all live here for easy access without having to go to the home screen each time.

You can also pair the traditional TV hardware actions to work with the remotes for both. This links volume controls, inputs, channels, and power buttons via IR for most televisions. This creates a seamless “universal” remote experience with just the Onn remote.

Performance

Daily use of both the Onn Android TV stick and dongle has been pretty great. These streamers are currently running Android 11. While this isn’t the same new Google TV UI that you find on the latest Chromecast, it does share enough DNA that most probably won’t notice.

The Onn Stick is slightly more limited in this regard with half the RAM that the larger dongle carries on the inside. While 1GB of RAM should still perform OK in most instances, I did notice it trips up occasionally with transitions to the home screen or launching apps more often than the 2GB in the dongle.

Storage may be an issue in both of these units long-term. For some unknown reason most OEMs, including Google, think that 8GB of internal storage is sufficient for a modern Android TV streamer. This will be plenty of space to get you started and install the first handful of apps you need, but as time and cache build up around general use, history with the Google Chromecast with Google TV show this will become an issue of running low on storage.

This limited storage may create an atmosphere in a fairly short amount of time with the need to jump through hoops to free up space. If left alone users will be presented with failed updates or a lack of space to install new apps. And with the Onn streamers both using micro-USB for power, there are not as many, or easy, solutions that the more modern USB-C standard brings for adding external storage.

Despite this reservation, I had no issues using either the Onn Streaming Stick or Dongle. Android TV still looks and performs great and I had success using all my streaming services. Google Assistant also works well with the dedicated button on the remotes.

Conclusion

This is Wal-Mart making a concerted move to have an in-house answer to both Roku and Fire TVs in my opinion. Honestly, it’s a good one too. Both devices offer similar form factors and price tags to let users add Android TV to an existing TV in their homes.

Speaking of pricing, both the Onn Streaming Stick and Dongle are under $30. Normal pricing has the better 4K dongle priced at $30 and the stick at $25. However, you can regularly catch these for much less and are currently priced at $20 and $15 respectively.

This is the leverage and scale that only a company the size of Wal-Mart can offer and this first foray into the Android TV market shows that it has the chops to produce compelling competition to the streaming set-top market.
