After the Apollo Bold released last year, the Tronsmart brand launches the Apollo Air with a lot of promises built around the Qualcomm QCC3046 chip and the aptX format.
The Apollo Air are TWS in-ear monitors, that is to say earpieces that communicate each towards the source that broadcasts the signal without going through a bounce from one earpiece to the other. This allows a more flexible stereo use without latency. This is a choice that has now been adopted by the entire industry, as the few models still offering more entry-level solutions are generally priced at levels that leave no doubt as to the overall quality of the product.
But it is the use of the Qualcomm QCC3046 SoC capabilities that really changes the game. Based on the technologies used, Tronsmart has a very complete menu of options around a communication in Bluetooth 5.2 with a range announced of 15 meters that allows a sedentary use. We find a system of active noise reduction of 35 dB disengageable. What allows to listen to music without being bothered by its environment during a journey in train or in plane. To follow a conference at home with surrounding noise or to open, on the contrary, the listening of this one. This can be very practical, even essential, in the street.
The Apollo Air also features cVc 8.0 sound management. A technology that will improve call capture with 6 microphones spread over the two earpieces for clear transmissions in phone mode. The microphones are responsible for capturing the sound environment in order to regulate it for your interlocutor. The Qualcomm chipset will sort out the ambient sounds to reduce and your voice to emphasize, amplify and optimize. The in-ear earphones also benefit from small refinements that simplify their use, such as the automatic pausing of the music when the ear is removed, which avoids unnecessary discharge.
A very low consumption allowing to find optimal durations of use. The earpieces ensure 5 hours of use after a charge1 and up to 20 hours thanks to the battery integrated into the charging case. The earpieces also benefit from small refinements that simplify their use, such as the automatic pausing of the music when removed from the ear, which avoids unnecessary discharge. The case is charged, as for him, with a USB Type-C.
Finally, the QCC3046 chip is responsible for optimized decoding of the sound transmitted to 10 mm graphene speakers for an optimized rendering. It also benefits from the functionalities developed by Qualcomm to offer a sound environment management application. The whole is encapsulated in an IP45 shell to resist water and dust. The control of the devices is done in touch to avoid the use of buttons that would pierce the shell and let the sweat or rain. We find the classic elements with the call pick-up, the management of tracks, the pause or the control of the volume and the triggering of a command to a voice assistant thanks to taps or presses more or less long on both earpieces.
The box measures 3.22 cm deep for 6 cm wide and 3.71 cm thick. The earpieces 3.28 cm high in all and 2.63 cm wide. They are delivered with 3 different sets of ear tips to fit any type of ear pavilion. The announced price for the Tronsmart Apollo Air is 99 USD.
