Finding a speaker that balances portability with powerful sound can be challenging for outdoor audio solutions at an affordable price. The Tronsmart Mirtune S100 is a compact speaker with a waterproof design. From its retractable handle to its impressive battery life, this speaker appears ready to handle the rigours of outdoor use.
The Tronsmart Mirtune S100 is available in black or blue and offers a sleek yet functional design. The speaker is easy to grab, weighs around 1.5 kg, and features a retractable rubber handle. The handle is surprisingly sturdy, giving a comfortable grip, and when not in use, it folds flush into the body for easy storage. Its compact design allows it to fit into bags or tight spots and is ideal for camping, beach trips, or backyard get-togethers.
On the front of the speaker are large, easy-to-read control buttons, which stand out thanks to their grey colour. The base has a large, flat rubber section, making it non-slip and easy to place anywhere. Around the back, a rubber flap protects the USB-C, USB-A, 3.5mm Aux-in, and microSD card slot.
The Mirtune S100 has an IPX7 waterproof rating. During testing, I splashed it and even left it out in light rain – the speaker held up without a hitch.
The S100 also features lights on either end of the speaker. You can toggle between three colour light effects,
Supporting Bluetooth 5.3, the Mirtune S100’s 50W speakers performance was a pleasant surprise. Equipped with a 30W racetrack subwoofer and two 10W tweeters, the speaker delivers balanced audio that produces deep bass and clear treble without distorting, even at higher volumes. However, I found the mids a little recessed. I used the five-band equaliser in the Tronsmart app to increase the mids, which helped.
Pressing the dedicated SoundPulse button adds a noticeable bass boost, which helps the speaker reach deeper lows. While testing outdoors, I found this feature particularly helpful in open environments where sound often dissipates. The S100’s bass levels are fuller and punchier, even without connecting to a second speaker. However, for those who want an even more immersive experience, pairing two Mirtune S100 units is possible, offering a stereo effect that’s great for larger gatherings.
The Mirtune S100 has a decent 20-hour battery life. The USB-A port on the back can be used as a power bank, allowing you to charge devices directly.
The Tronsmart Mirtune S100 is a robust, feature-rich outdoor speaker that is portable enough to carry anywhere. With its deep bass, detailed audio, and IPX7 waterproofing, this speaker easily handles outdoor settings. Throw in the 20-hour battery and built-in power bank, and you have a versatile, all-in-one audio solution.
