For the price, the Bang Max offers an impressive array of drivers. It is a three-way speaker, featuring two 30W woofers, two 20W mid-tweeters, two 10W tweeters, and two passive bass radiators. Additionally, you can customize the sound and visual experience with the help of custom EQ and RGB lights, offering three different lighting modes accessible through a control app. Tronsmart’s TuneConn technology allows you to connect up to 100 other Tronsmart speakers, akin to JBL’s PartyBoost and Sony’s Party Connect solutions.
The Bang Max is IPX6 water-resistant, making it suitable for pool parties, and it also doubles as a karaoke machine. What sets it apart from Sony’s SRS-XV800 is the ability to support two wired mics and one guitar, allowing for dedicated backing vocals alongside your main singer. The Sony alternative, in contrast, provides only one mic input and one guitar input. Moreover, the Bang Max boasts an IPX4 splash-proof rating, while the Sony speaker, weighing 18.5kg, is significantly more expensive at $648 / £599 / AU$849.
Could Tronsmart be on the verge of breaking through with its new Bang Max speaker? It’s hard to say for certain. However, if you’re a fan of budget-friendly options, you might also want to consider the Tribit Stormbox Blast, which costs the same at $199 and bears a striking resemblance to the Bang Max.
