Tronsmart Onyx Ace First REVIEW: Xiaomi Air 2 Competitor, But Twice as Cheap
The newcomer on the market of wireless earphones released new wireless earbuds called Tronsmart Onyx Ace. Actually, Tronsmart is not a new company. Most likely, you know about this brand by wireless Bluetooth speakers. However, I found out about Tronsmart only after the release of Tronsmart Onyx Neo wireless earbuds, so it is a newcomer on the market of wireless earphones for me.
The main features of the new Tronsmart Onyx Ace wireless earbuds are in-ear design like Apple AirPods, IPX5 water protection, four integrated microphones, Qualcomm chip with support for aptX, AAC, SBS codecs, and 13 mm speakers.
The price of Tronsmart Onyx Ace is only $35. You can buy new wireless earbuds right now on Aliexpress.
Well, before you go checkout on Aliexpress, let’s talk in more detail about design and features of Tronsmart Onyx Ace.

Similar design to Apple AirPods and Xiaomi Air 2
As I said before, Tronsmart Onyx Ace are in-ear headphones. By the way, these are the first Tronsmart wireless earbuds that are not vacuum. All previous earphones of the Chinese brand were in-channel vacuum.
I know a lot of people who like earbuds, but at the same time, many others prefer in-ear vacuum headphones. Each of them has its own advantages.
Moreover, this design of earbuds has become a classic thanks to Apple AirPods.
New Tronsmart earphones are available in black and white.
Tronsmart Onyx Ace supports touch control, but we will talk about this a bit later.
Charging case has USB Type-C port
The charging case has four indicators that says about battery level, as well as USB Type-C port for charging.
Perhaps that’s all I can tell about the design of Tronsmart Onyx Ace. In general, the new wireless earbuds look good. Yes, they look like Apple AirPods or Xiaomi Air 2, but this is even an advantage for many people.
Comparison of Tronsmart Onyx Ace, Apple AirPods and Xiaomi Air 2
I will leave a picture with comparison of the main features of Tronsmart Onyx Ace, Apple AirPods and Xiaomi Air 2.
Talking about features and specifications, the first thing I should say about is Qualcomm QCC3020 chip. This chip was used in previous Tronsmart Onyx Neo earbuds, and it showed very good performance. The delay and power consumption are very low, while the transmission is high.
The new Tronsmart Onyx Ace wireless earbuds support aptX, AAC, SBS codecs. Paired with 13 mm speaker, they provide high quality sound.
Four microphones and noise reduction
Another feature of Tronsmart Onyx Ace is its four integrated microphones and cVc 8.0 noise reduction technology. In theory, they should get rid of interference and noise during conversations. How well the microphone and noise reduction work, we will find out only after real tests.
By the way, headphones can be used paired with each other, or only one of them.
I would also like to say about the fast pairing of new earbuds to the smartphone when you open the charging case. A similar feature is available on Apple AirPods and Xiaomi Air 2.
Touch control
Ok, let’s talk about the available control options. Below I will insert a picture with all available earbuds controls.
As you can see, you can change the volume, switch tracks, play/stop playback, answer and drop calls, and also call voice assistants on your smartphone.
Talking about voice assistants, you can call Apple Siri, Google Assistant or Hi Cortana, depending on the smartphone you are using.
Battery life on a single charge
It remains for us to discuss the charging case and battery life of Tronsmart Onyx Ace earbuds. The manufacturer claims that the new wireless earbuds work up to 5 hours on a single charge at a volume level of 50%.
Charging case increases battery life up to 24 hours. Unfortunately, I did not find information about the battery capacity of the charging case and the earbuds themselves.
By the way, another important feature of Tronsmart Onyx Ace is USB Type-C port. In theory, it provides a faster charging speed.
Price and buy Tronsmart Onyx Ace
Tronsmart Onyx Ace are already available for sale on Aliexpress, Banggood and other Chinese online stores. Price starts from $35.

In my opinion, Tronsmart Onyx Ace is a pretty good wireless earbuds, given that one of the main competitors (Xiaomi Air 2) costs twice as much, not to mention Apple AirPods.
