[General Accessories] Alberto96:
This is the Tronsmart Encore S6.

Unboxing

Similar to the Encore S4's packaging, also the S6 comes in a pretty premium box with some accessories: 1x Micro-USB Cable (for charging), 1x 3.5mm Audio Cable (for wired connection), 1x User Manual and the Headphones (of course).

Everything is made of plastic with no glossy parts, something that i appreciate everytime, and there is enough amount of flex in the whole body to wear them in a more comfortable way.

As regards the Weight, even though 278g might seem a bit too much, the cushion helps a lot in distributing it without any headache.

Being foldable they get pretty compact when folded, but i would have appreciated to get a small case in the package where to store them.

It is possible to move each headphone hall vertically to get a more proper contact with the ear, it isn't possible to adjust the position horizontally.

Each side has a decent amount of extra centimeters that can be gained by stretching, without brutal force, the band on the lower side. The cable that goes through the band gets visible this way, positive for easy repair but slightly negative for design lovers.

On the upper side, where the headband is located, there is a soft cushion that does give a feeling of a premium product. I am noy saying that this isn't a premium product, since it isn't that cheap, but still it is something usually available only on high-end ones.

On the left there is the magical Noise Suppression (or Noise Cancellation/ANC) controller. I like the idea of having this big rubbery surface for controls (even though it gets a bit dirty) since it improved the lifetime of keys and of the internal board.

Unfortunately though the same design flaw i found on the Encore S4 is also here, where the NC switch is indipendent from the main controller. What does it mean? It means that it needs to be turned off separately.

On the right side instead there is the main controller (where probably also the battery is located), with the same rubbery surface protecting all controls, and, as you would expect, all basical keys necessary to interact with your Bluetooth Source: Volume Up/Down, Music Next/Previous and Play/Pause|Answer/Power buttons.

On the lower side where the main controller is located there is a Micro-USB connector required to charge the internal battery, a Microphone (since this can be used also for Calls without any issue) and the 3.5mm Headphone Jack, something becoming rare nowadays (iPhone users, you know what i am talking about...).

Sound Quality

Unlike what happened with the Encore S4 where the default equalizer was, in my opinion, messed up pushing low frequencies to the max and muffling a bit the others, here it is completely the opposite.

The amount of low frequencies (aka BASS) is a bit too much limited, reducing the sound's "punchiness", even though, not being a Bass lover, i prefer this, especially because it is easy to find a "Bass Boost" feature on any smartphone/tablet, while a "Treble Boost" is almost everytime inexistent.

As regards the Volume, it is pretty high, enough high to stay safe even at maximum volume without damaging your ears. Here you can see the proof, not a professional test, but at least it is better than nothing.

The Noise Cancellation feature works almost perfectly, reducing ambient sounds a lot, without any impact on sound quality. Of course it is not equal to what you can get with Bose Headphones, but it gets pretty close.

Calls and Connectivity

Featuring Bluetooth V4.1, it may not be considering as a super up-to-date product, and well this is true, because this has been released many months ago, but reached my country's store only in September 2017 (european import crap).

Excluding the version, it is perfectly enough for high-quality BT streaming. Also, it comes with APT-X support. For those who want to know more about apt-X bitrate, here is a Chinese table found online.

As already mentioned before, Calls are perfectly supported, and the quality is decent, with a sufficiently clear microphone and voice. Being a device not made primarily for calls, i don't expect more.

Battery Life and Conclusions

Battery Life matches what Tronsmart declared on the Amazon description, that is ~13 hours (BT+ANC) and ~20 hours (BT only). Personally i reach more or less 12 hours at medium volume with ANC on, so it is pretty close to the declared value considering that they do not specify the volume.

After the Encore S4, this bigger brother is definitely a step forward with better sound quality and the possibility of wired connection, something that, in my opinion, is a must even for BT earphones, in case of low battery or a connection with a device that doesn't support BT.

I am not an audiophile so do not expect the most precise feedback, but in the last few months i have been testing many audio devices so i am getting more and more experienced. I can say that these headphones are the best ones i have ever tested, and i can definitely recommend them.

Pros:

- Dual Connection (BT and Wired)

- ANC - Active Noise Cancellation

- Build Quality

- APT-X Support

Cons:

- Design Flaw for the ANC switch
