Tronsmart Groove 2chat_bubble_outlineFrom real comments

Sound quality and volume disappointed at least one detailed reviewer. A buyer who purchased two units said the speaker 'sucks,' calling the sound 'cheap garbage' after comparing it directly to UE Wonderboom 1 and 2 speakers, which they found louder and better sounding with no comparison in quality. They advised spending more on a better speaker instead. This is the only in-depth experience among the comments, so it should be weighed against the more positive but less detailed remarks from other users.

Build details raised durability and usability concerns for one owner. The same detailed reviewer flagged the open passive radiator on the back as a weak point, arguing that a speaker marketed as 'rugged' should not have an opening where thin objects could get in and break it. They were also annoyed that the LED lights must be manually turned off every time before using the speaker, calling this an unnecessary hassle for a supposedly outdoor-focused product.

Bass performance is seen as an improvement over the original Groove, though some want more power. One commenter noted the Groove 2's bass is better than the original Groove because its speaker is flat, unlike the first Groove's driver. However, another buyer said they wished the speaker had 15W output, arguing it would help the bass be heard more clearly. Together these comments suggest the bass is improved generation-over-generation but still seen by at least one user as underpowered for their taste.
