According to our thorough evaluation, the Tronsmart Onyx Apex is a highly recommended pair of headphones for modern music lovers, genres such as electronic, lowfi, and everything that modern music encompasses.
This is because the Tronsmart Onyx Apex They have a high range and power in the lower frequencies, which lovers of classical and more conservative music may not like entirely.
We also recommend them for those people who spend hours training in the gym or who go out for a run while listening to music, since these headphones integrate IP45 protection, so they are resistant to the humidity that you may generate while training.
What's in the box?
The Tronsmart Onyx Apex They come to us in a small rectangular cardboard box that includes:
- 1 pair of headphones Tronsmart Onyx Apex.
- 3 sets of in-ear pads Silicone (2 of them already installed in the headphones)
- 1 USB-C cable for loading.
- 1 Carrying case and load capacity for 5 full loads.
Design and comfort
The Tronsmart Onyx Apex are headphones that we consider extremely comfortable, due to their In-Ear design we can insert them into our ears and adjust them perfectly so that they do not come out, since they have two pairs of intra-aural pads of different sizes, to ensure that we use the correct size for the size of our ear canal.
Both the carrying and charging case and the headphones, They are made on the outside with plastic material with a first class finish.However, the plastic of the case gives us the impression of being more vulnerable to wear and tear from everyday use. The carrying and charging case has a compact, small and pleasant to the touch design, so you can surely carry it in your pocket without any problems.
The headphones feel quite robust and resistant, they give us a feeling of quality that we have noticed in other higher-priced headphones.
If we talk about its weight, the Tronsmart Onyx Apex are quite light, Each earphone weighs only 5 grams and, together with the carrying case, they have a total weight of 47 grams. So they are extremely comfortable, since you will hardly be able to feel the weight on your ears.
The section of the earphones that is in contact with the ear is oval-shaped, which can be adjusted by simply turning it slightly. Similarly, the part that goes into the ear canal is quite short, so you won't feel like the earphones are invading your ear. Unlike the interchangeable rubber tips, They make the weight of each earphone very well distributed inside the ear.
All this achieves a perfect fit, so you can use them to go for a run or go to the gym. without fear of them coming out of your ear and stones one of them.
Sound, noise cancellation and microphone
Tronsmart Onyx Apex earphones have compatibility with the Qualcomm aptX Adaptive technology, thanks to its integrated QCC3040 chip, which makes this small pair of headphones deliver excellent audio quality, in addition to using an adaptive bit rate with very low dynamic latency. In this way, the Ony Apex are perfectly qualified to be used when watching videos on our SmartTV or playing video games, because we will not notice any type of delay between the image and the audio received.
However, if you use them to play video games with lots of sound saturation like shooting games and lots of simultaneous sound effects, You may notice some delay in the audio signal. In this case we recommend other gaming headphones more specialized.
One of its built-in functions is “Dual-Host"which allows us to use one or both headphones at the same time without having to configure anything on our mobile.
The default equalization of these headphones is the classic “V” shape with a predominant touch in the low frequencies, This allows it to reproduce quite deep bass sounds.. Its mid-range frequencies are more defined, which makes voices sound clearer. The Onyx Apex's highs also have a great capacity to reproduce clear and clean highs, so the sound they emit is very lively and dynamic.
If we talk about its noise cancellation, we can say that the passive isolation is respectable, but if we activate the ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) mode We can notice a difference in terms of cancellation of external noise, it is not better than other brands such as Sony or Bose, but we consider that, for its price, it fulfills its function efficiently.
Besides, Each headset comes with two cVc 8.0 microphones, this technology is quite common in this line of headphones, it also applies an improvement in voice quality during calls and at the same time is capable of minimizing ambient noise.
In general our voice is heard very clearly and powerfully, so They are perfect for hands-free use., since you will not have any problem getting your voice heard with the same, or perhaps even better, quality than using your mobile's built-in microphone.
Autonomy and battery life
Each of these headphones has a 35 mAh battery, which It will give us about 6 hours of music playback with a medium volume if we have the ANC function off. But if we turn on the ANC, the duration time will be reduced to about 5 hours approximately.
On the other hand, the box integrates a 400 mAh battery so You will be able to fully charge your headphones about 4 times. So if we talk about the total autonomy of the entire Onyx Apex equipment, it will be about 30 hours without the ANC and approximately 25 hours with active noise cancellation, not bad for these small headphones.
The charging time of the headphones is approximately one hour, but They also integrate a fast charging option, so if we let them charge for about 10 minutes, we can use them for approximately an hour and a half without any problem.
The headphone box does not support wireless charging, so we must use a USB-C type connection.
Controls and connectivity
The Onyx Apex headphones come equipped with a Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity module, with which you will only have to take them out of their case and select them in the Bluetooth section of your device and that will be enough to be connected.
In addition, they were designed to have Highly sensitive touch controls, so its response time is immediate. We are going to explain everything you can do with its integrated controls:
- If you want to turn up the volume of what you are listening to, you only have to touch the right earphone.
- To answer a call or to pause the song you are listening to, tap either earbud twice in a row.
