In this collaboration, I'm given the chance to experience one of the flagship speaker models from Tronsmart, The Tronsmart Element Mega. It's most easily referred to as the "Tronsmart Mega".
At 40 Watts output, this is by far one of the most powerful Bluetooth Speakers I've ever used. I'm pretty impressed by how much Tronsmart is able to pack in the MEGA. With a nominal power of 2 x 20 watts Drivers 28 core high-fidelity large subwoofer horn capable of producing louder output up to 40W at peak volume. For comparison wise, most Bluetooth Speakers max out at around 15 Watts or less, an average of 7.5 Watts per driver if they come with 2 drivers. Most of them with a Battery Life of approximately 6 Hours max even at lower Wattages. Here are some of my findings :

Product Details and Review :
Unit Details
Dimensions : 193mm x 57mm x 82mm
Weight : 662.3 grams
Solid Build. Metal Frame.
Intuitive Touch Panel with Gesture Control
Fully integrated touch panel with unique slide-to-control volume mechanism.
The slide to control volume mechanism is something unique to this speaker. It's pretty convenient to move the volume up and down using the slider. Buttons very clear are lit with LED lights. I could see them clearly day or night.
Versatile Connectivity
Line in, On/Off Button, MicroSD card slot (supports up to 64GB), and MicroUSB port for charging.
I really liked the physical On / Off Button in the Tronsmart Mega. In most Bluetooth Speakers, we are required to Press and Hold on a On / Off Button for it to activate. That takes time and it can be pretty slow sometimes. For the Tronsmart Mega, it's just at a flick of a button, really quick connection too. Depending on your USB Adapter, charging time is usually around 3 hours for a Zero to Full Charge. I happen to use a Fast Charger from Tronsmart.

High-fidelity Sound
28 core high-fidelity large Sub-woofer horn capable of producing louder output up to 40 Watts.
Comparatively, most Bluetooth Speakers lack bass. Even if they do, they can manage to pull some Bass only at high volumes. The design of the MEGA makes the Bass pretty outstanding!
3D Digital Sound & DSP Technology
3D digital sound integrated with DSP technology for pitch-perfect output in any setting of your living environment.
Sound Quality is Solid and Crisp, but I can't comment much on 3D Digital Sound but it played well in most environment.
Bluetooth 4.2
Equipped Bluetooth 4.2 for optimal connection with all your device.
Tested range was Approximately 15 Meters without much jitters. However, some of my older phones did not go that far.
True Wireless Stereo (TWS)
Compatible with True Wireless Stereo (TWS).
This means you can join two of the same units together to produce a much wider stereo sound. Basically, we are connecting two loudspeakers with each other wirelessly, separating them into Left and Right Channels and enjoy the amazingly big picture and stereo sound as if from a hi-fi system. An Astounding feature for Audio Enthusiasts! Also a great solution for everyone who is tired of listening to poor quality flat sounds when using ordinary Bluetooth speakers. Double the power, double the sound!
Supports NFC
Supports NFC connecting.
Instant connectivity with your phones and other NFC devices. Saves time and battery too.
Powerful and Efficient
2 x 3,300 mAh Rechargeable Batteries (6,600 mAh)
This is as powerful as two cellphones! 3 Hours Charge for Approximately 15 Hours low to normal volume playback and Approximately 6 Hours Full Blast. 10 Hours on average. Enough power for my family to watch 2 movies.
The TWS Connection for Tronsmart Mega is much more straightforward than many other Bluetooth Speakers with the same function. Most other speakers with TWS tend to have synchronization issues.
Here is what you need to do if you have 2 Tronsmart Megas.
- Turn on Both Tronsmart Mega. Don't Pair them yet.
- Press on MODE on one of the Speakers for 2 Seconds until you hear an indicator tone.
- When Successfully Paired, you'll hear another tone.
- Speaker with MODE steady Blue is Right Channel. Speaker with MODE Flashing Blue is Left Channel, Master.

- Both Speaker's LED will turn Blue upon Successful Connection
- Once paired, both Speakers will automatically pair the next time you turn them On.

- ENJOY!
