Design
The Apollo Q10 may not revolutionize headphone design, but it adheres to standard practices to provide maximum comfort. Weighing only 225g, these headphones are comfortable for extended use and their foldable design allows for easy portability.
In terms of ergonomics, the Q10 Apollo offers notable features. Like other premium headphones, you can rotate the ear cups up to 90 degrees vertically for a better fit. It also retains horizontal rotation to alleviate pressure. With an adjustable plastic headband, you can customize the fit to accommodate different head sizes.
The headband features a small cushion for additional comfort, while the ear cushions are made of high-quality foam to maintain their shape and provide ideal sound isolation.
The standout feature of these headphones' design is the intuitive control mechanism. Instead of offering numerous buttons, the brand has opted for a single button on the outer side of the ear cup, making control much more intuitive.
Features
The sound on the Apollo Q10 headphones is quite impressive and clear. It excels in faithfully reproducing mid and low ranges, albeit slightly lacking in the high range. If you're not too picky, you'll certainly appreciate what these headphones offer in terms of sound quality.
When nothing is playing, you may hear some background noise, but it's not too bothersome. Another standout feature of the device is its active noise cancellation technology. While it may not compare to leading technologies today, the difference between turning ANC on and off is noticeable.
The 40mm drivers cover a frequency range from 20Hz to 20kHz, delivering both high and low frequencies very effectively. Delving into the technical specs, it has an impedance of 32 Ohms, and thanks to noise reduction technology, environmental noise can be reduced by up to 35dB.
Another notable feature of the Tronsmart Apollo Q10 is the integrated microphone. In fact, it boasts 5 microphones, each equipped with noise-canceling technology so you can confidently take calls from anywhere and anyone on the other end of the line can hear you clearly.
Control
With a single long press, you can switch between 3 modes (ANC on/off and ambient sound mode), swipe up or down to adjust volume or change tracks. By double-tapping, you can answer calls or play songs. Additionally, there's a small multi-function button on the headphones to activate voice assistant on your phone.
Active Noise Cancellation
The Apollo Q10 offers the 'Active Noise Cancellation' feature. External noises, considered annoying when listening to music, not only should be blocked but also actively 'erased'. Even without ANC, the headphones dampen external sounds quite effectively due to the thickness and snug fit of its ear cushions.
ANC can be activated via a button on the left side. Unfortunately, there's no significant improvement in sound insulation. So, you can only notice a slight increase in volume. If no music is playing, you may hear clear background noise - a known issue with other ANC headphones too. At this price point, you also can't expect perfect active noise cancellation.
Connectivity
One of the key claims of the Tronsmart Apollo Q10 is its connectivity. Thanks to Bluetooth 5.0 antennas, it can connect to any modern smartphone and computer with Bluetooth connectivity.
You can easily detach the audio playback device from the headphones up to 15 meters away without experiencing any disconnection. The best part is it always maintains high data transfer speeds, ensuring excellent sound. Additionally, it has a USB Type-C connector, primarily used for recharging the device.
With the Tronsmart app, you can configure the audio parameters of the song using the equalizer. You won't need additional tricks to enhance the sound digitally.
Battery
According to the manufacturer, the internal battery has a capacity of 1200mAh, providing a usage time of up to 100 hours, a remarkably impressive figure. With this battery capacity, you can go at least 10 days before needing to recharge.
Conclusion
Tronsmart Apollo Q10 is an excellent choice for those seeking a versatile wireless headphone option at an affordable price. With the brand's sound expertise, you can be assured of a durable product with optimal sound quality.
