BT216 Review after a while of use

Nowadays there is many different Bluetooth speaker brands, others are good and some are bad. One thing just happens to connect them, they are made in china almost always, and of course that is not bad thing at all. This speaker is rebranded from Tronsmart T6 to simple but very weird BT216, it's all around identical one but with different branding on it. About the branding it peeled off pretty quick and i had to scrape residue off, it felt like sticker. Now the speaker got small cosmical mark on the area where the branding was.. nothing serious

I threw away the box long time ago, so i do not have box to take million pictures of

In box there was grey soft-touch material Micro-USB cable, and same soft-touch gray 3.5mm male-to-male cable, both 62cm long (24 inches)

Also, there was 2 silica-gel desiccants, usual manual how to press buttons and how to avoid voiding warranty.

Box is also similar to Tronsmart's "premium box", only thing that was different was text language and pictures.

Speaker is covered in plastic burlap, like JBL ones and the speaker got nice weight on it. It does not rattle or squirk when applying pressure around and trying to twist it.

Buttons on top are bit mushy and takes few attempts to press, volume wheel clicks softly when turning it. There is led right around the buttons what indicates power and battery when charging, on other end is passive radiator, it moves quite a bit when blasting music :D

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Speaker itself weights 414g and is 75mm in diameter and 193mm in height, 20W of power and SNR is 80 dB, THD ≤ 10 %. 60Hz to 20kHz (It plays well under 60Hz still)

Battery is 2 x 3.7V 2600mAh, charging it takes 3-4 hours from empty to full, and the battery lasts 6-8 hours at high volume.

WHAT DOES IT SOUND LIKE / SPEAKER FEATURES

I was very surprised about the quality and fidelity of sound on this when i first time ramped up the volume to the maximum, i did not hear distortion at all thought.

Sound is warm and wide, highs are clear but bit muffly when speaker is facing other direction. High-hats and claps sound good on this

Mids are full, vocals sound clean and natural. Rap is very enjoyable on this speaker, atleast to my ears.

Bass.. There is lot of it, it plays low and manages to shake glass of water on table and rattle things. Speaker does not stay on it's place when playing at max volume, that's how much it got bass. Bass is just awesome

Conclusion time

That volume wheel is very nice feature on this speaker, i'd like to see something similar on more "mainstream" speakers. Also flap for USB port and AUX is nice thing, keeps moisture out. For this price this speaker is no-brainer, best in class

PROS:

-It's loud and got good build quality and very crisp sound quality

-Fabric material is nice touch

-Volume wheel is very satisfying to turn

-Charges up quick and lasts long

-Price/performance

CONS:

-Very loud and bit annoying startup/connecting/shutdown sounds, it's like orchestra blasting all out for second

-Buttons are bit mushy
