The Baseus has more emphasis and details in the mid-tones the Tronsmart puts more weight in the lows and sounds a bit more relaxed. Turns out that it's on a level playing field with the Onyx Ace. The $25 Baseus W09 has been on the shelves for a long time, not reviewed because of its mediocre sound quality. Also, because mid-tones and vocals are pulled towards the lower frequencies, the Onyx Ace at least sounds full. You may even bop your head more than once. The Tronsmart Onyx Ace has a nice slamming bass for a pair of half in-ears, which delivers just about plenty punch to make dance songs uplifting enough. Cymbals, violins, nuances in higher vocals - they're hard to find here. Typical mids like guitars, are about the highest frequency the Onyx Ace reaches. Highs on the Onyx Ace are practically non-existent. More often, they drown in the other frequencies and play a recessed background role. At best, they sound clear-ish right in between the rest of the instruments. It doesn't matter if a song has darker male vocals or higher-pitched female voices - they simply don't protrude from the rest of the music. The sound is best described as dull - and falls especially short in vocals. The Tronsmart Onyx Ace is not a terrific sounding pair of earphones. Let's state the same thing as in the Edifier TWS200 review: it's much harder to manage a good sound out of a half in-ear earpiece - which aims sideways in your ears - than it is to get a good sound of a fully in-ear design.Īs a result, Apple's own AirPods don't sound that good the Edifier TWS200 is too mid-centric for some, and the SoundPEATS TrueAir has enough bass - but slightly overproduced highs at the highest volumes. There is a noticeable delay while playing games, however, as is the case with 99% of wireless earphones. Audio-video synchronization is spot-on on both iPhone and Android, including the challenging YouTube-app. Watching videos with the Onyx Ace is flawless. Still - it's absolutely possible to have a long phone call with these. The other end of the line may also hear you're not directly speaking in your phone microhpone. Sometimes, you can hear a bit of processing going on - with shifts in the sound you'll hear. It's not as flawless as on the Edifier TWS200, however. For instance, trains, an accelerating truck at 50 meters distance, and all kinds of outside working noises, are reduced entirely in the call. That works: your voice sounds clear above background noise, indoor, and also outside in between traffic and some wind. Mostly: yes! The Onyx Ace has a four-microphone setup to reduce the sound from your surroundings and focus on your voice entirely. Can the Ace compete with the brilliant Edifier TWS200 in this regard? With the recently released Onyx Neo, Tronsmart raised high hopes for the call quality of the Tronsmart Onyx Ace. The Bluetooth 5.0 connection strength itself is solid - even with walls within ten meters of distance. The controls do respond, but there doesn't come any sound out of the earpieces. Besides, the Onyx Ace has troubles re-connecting sometimes, after connecting to another Bluetooth device in between. Unfortunately, it isn't possible to swap between one and two earpieces instantly. Only then will the Ace connect properly every time. Wait for the prompt to also connect your other earpiece on both of them. What's important is that you should connect to both earpieces in your Bluetooth list. The connectivity on the Onyx Ace is solid - mostly. All actions are confirmed by a pleasant! tick-like sound. Three taps on either side activate the voice assistant on your smartphone. Skipping a track? Hold the right side for 2 seconds. You can increase the volume by a tap on the right one, and decrease it by a tap on the left. With double taps on the left or right earpiece, you play or pause the music. On top of it, the earpieces and case feel more robust than their competitors as well. Possibly even better than competitors like the Edifier TWS200 or SoundPEATS TrueAir. Both the stem and the earpiece are nicely rounded on the inside, and hang comfortable and steady in your ears.Įven when half in-ears like these aren't your cup of tea, the Onyx Ace grips in good. The earpieces itself look like the regular AirPods, although the silver touch strips on top of the stem, separate them in the design. Each charge gives the earpieces around 4,5 hours playtime - a decent score in this price range. With the case fully powered up, you can recharge the earbuds four times. The first is the silver-grey front, with four LED-lights that indicate the battery status of the earpieces and case itself. There are two main differences in the case. The Tronsmart Onyx Ace is available in black or white, and especially in white, the case shares the look and feel of the AirPods.
