pTron Fusion Evo V2 Soundbar Review | Best Soundbar Under 1k?

It’s been around 9 months of using this soundbar. It’s pretty basic (No LED) but the vocals and instruments sound great. The bass is decent. For the price, it’s a good soundbar and you can consider it. Back to the pTron Fusion Evo V2 soundbar review.

Soundbars are the new age speakers with tons of added features. Not only do they offer a Bluetooth connection which means you can take it wherever you go but can also be used with a traditional computer with just an aux cable.

We were searching for one under 1000 Rs and found this one from pTron which checks most of the basic needs. So should you buy one? Let’s talk about that in this pTron Fusion Evo V2 Soundbar Review.

pTron Fusion Evo Soundbar Pros & Cons

Built Quality

In one word, Impressive!

We’ve seen many soundbars under 2000 Rs and most of them are made with poor-quality plastic. Everything from the front grill to the on-off switch. Not leaving aside the loud “power on”, “looking for connection”, “paired successfully” and other predefined notifications.

That is what we were expecting with this soundbar. But no, pTron Fusion Evo surprised us with impressive built quality all around. The build is as good as a soundbar worth 2000 Rs. The soundbar has zero squeaking when pressing very hard or panel noise even when you hit the full volume.

On the front, you have a metal mesh grill unlike some who offer plastic with metallic paint! The top hosts 4 buttons that are clicky but seem of decent quality. In my 9 months of use, they have been performing well.

Another thing to note is the back circuit panel which hosts the aux port, memory card slot, and USB slot is of good quality as there is no play while inspecting or removing any media.

Overall the build is great. It’s quite similar to the Blaunpukt soundbar which is around 600 Rs more expensive.

To sum up the built quality of pTron Fusion Evo V2, pTron has nailed the built quality for the price. Hence 9/10.

Look & Feel

To be frank I am not a fan of RGB soundbars. I prefer the old music system vibe on the computer table i.e. Constant color all around. if your taste matches with me, then you will like this soundbar. pTron Fusion Evo comes in two colors: black and grey. I have the black color model which looks quite good. Though I’ve seen both colors, the shades are perfect on these.

pTron Fusion Evo has a premium design. The overall body is perfect for a computer table or TV wood cabinet. It can easily rest below your monitor/TV. You can take it outdoors too but it’s not the smallest portable speaker by any means.

One more thing, it’s way louder than any tiny wireless speakers that are available in this price range. So the big size compensates for that!

The top and sides are flat and on the edges, you’ll have a smooth carving. I actually have a very sharp eye for quality detail and I liked this soundbar for that. The rear offers a textured panel that not only looks good but offers great grip.

On the front, you have a mesh grill with a tiny pTron logo which looks expensive. The mesh grill is quite thick that you cannot see the audio drivers in it. I prefer the design this way. The sides are plain. Whereas on the back you have a bubble textured which looks good from the back and also feels good in the hand.

In terms of look, pTron Fusion Evo looks and feels good. Way above the 1000 mark category. Hence in this department too it gets 9/10.

Features

This soundbar is packed with so many connectivity features.

Let’s start with aux-mode which I was keen to try. You can connect the soundbar to your PC, laptop, TV, or any other device that can play music. The supplied aux cable in the box is of decent quality but it’s very small. if you plan to put it a little away from the connected source then you would need a different aux cable. if you are planning to use it with a PC that doesn’t have a Bluetooth option then there are two ways to connect.

1. Aux-in without USB: In this mode, the soundbar will be using the in-built battery which is 1200 mAh (more about it in the battery section of the article).
2. Aux-in with USB: This mode will power the soundbar via the USB cable and the internal battery will not be used.

In both modes, the volume control buttons will work.

Don’t need the wired connection? No problem! pTron Fusion Evo comes with a Bluetooth 5.0 connection too! It’s all about the range and battery backup when you are connected wirelessly. pTron claims continuous playtime of up to 10 hours (will talk about that in the battery segment of the article).

To test the Bluetooth range, I tried taking it on the roof of about 1782 square feet while I was walking keeping the soundbar on the bottom of the roof and circling around! There were two things that I discovered.

First, the sound is very loud. You can think of a roof that big and open, what will happen in a closed 12×12 room? Yeah! it’s party time. More about audio quality is in the audio section below. And the second thing is, there was not a single frequency drop or audio breaking. Which is quite commendable.

Other than wired and wireless modes, you have support for micro sd cards and even a pen drive mode. I tried these and they work well. Not sure, whether I will use these two modes but hey! it can be of great use for someone for sure.

Let’s say you are in the mood to enjoy the rain listening to your favorite radio channel. you can do that too on this soundbar. Sure, there can be a disturbance as it doesn’t offer an adjustable antenna. But in the open or the room, the connection is distortion-free.

How to Use pTron Fusion Evo V2 Soundbar?

if this is your first time with a soundbar then don’t worry we are here to explain the functions in this pTron Fusion Evo Soundbar Review. Everything from turning it on, and connecting to your device, to listening to your favorite music and then turning it off.

On the back, you have a toggle to turn the soundbar on. The moment you turn it on, it will speak the last connected mode like “Bluetooth” if it was last used or perhaps “aux mode” if you used it with the computer.

Let’s say you wish to connect your smartphone via Bluetooth to the soundbar. Turn on the soundbar, the first mode is Bluetooth. You don’t need to press any buttons. Turn on the Bluetooth from your smartphone and search for pTron BT Speaker.

Upon tapping you will get a few permissions that you can allow or reject as per your need. When a connection is formed the soundbar will confirm the same. To disconnect all you need is to disconnect from your phone’s notification panel or the phone’s settings as well.

So now you know how to turn on, look for a connection, and disconnect a connected device.

Let’s see the media playback via Bluetooth. The first button on the left is (play||pause). Which works the way you will be used to on your smartphone, laptop, or anywhere you play music.

Things are different for the plus and minus buttons. Pressing the (-) button once will repeat the song or play the previous song from the playlist. if you just started playing the song pressing the minus button will play the previous song. But, if you have already heard half of the track then it will repeat the song. Long pressing the (-) button will decrease the volume.

Pressing the (+) button once will play the next track. You can move to the following track on the playlist by using the plus button. Pressing and holding the plus button for 3 seconds will increase the volume.

The next button is to change the mode i.e. choosing the options between FM & Bluetooth mode. All the other modes like Aux, Pendrive, and Micro SD card will enable automatically when you connect any of these devices.

Let’s say you are listing to FM and want to change the channel how will you do that on pTron fusion Evo? All you need is to press the Play||Pause button and it will switch to the next radio station.

Media playback via memory card and pen drive is similar to the Bluetooth mode. You have to play or pause, repeat the song, play the next song, and mode change.

So as per media playback and modes, pTron Fusion Evo has left behind the competition in this particular price range. We will give it 9.5/10 just like that.

pTron Fusion Evo Soundbar Audio Quality

Before jumping to my conclusion let’s have a look at the specifications. The soundbar uses two speakers of 5 watts each making it 10 watts. What takes it to the next level are the 52mm audio drivers. As per specs, this is the best option under 1000 Rs. But the question is good enough? Does it offer bass? Let’s talk about that now.

The sound signature is vocal and instrumental-centric. You will have a great time listing to religious rhymes, Qawwali, techno, and high-treble songs. Even while watching movies you will have no problem hearing dialogues.

Bass on the other hand is very minimal. You will not experience table vibrating bass for sure! It’s not flatlined either. You can say it’s present “but wish it was better” kind of bass.

So if you need thumping bass, then this is not for you. You can check out Blaupunkt 20w soundbar which is under 2000 rs.

What about loudness? The pTron Fusion Evo is very loud. You cannot sit in front at max volume. Some level of distortion comes at full volume so staying about 85 is a sweet spot. One more thing, it’s a mono soundbar so you will not be getting that stereo effect. What you will get is the same audio from both sides.

So out of 10, we would give 8/10. 2 marks cut due to average bass.

Battery Backup

pTron Fusion Evo V2 packs in a 1200 mAh battery which is certainly to check out. On paper, this is a good thing as, on the go, the battery is essential. Even if you wish to play songs via AUX mode you need to have some battery on the soundbar. So you need a strong battery backup. pTron claims straight 10 hours of battery backup. However, it’s so long I couldn’t test it fully! So we put it under a few tests.

But before that, you should know a few things.

Battery backup is dependent on the mode via which you are playing the media, the volume, and how frequently you are charging the volume.

The first test was pairing it with the PC via Aux mode which will consume the battery. I watched a few movies, did daily work, and all the PC notifications. The overall battery backup in this test was 5 days. Mind you my PC runs a good 12 to 13 hours every day.

But the media playback is about 9 hours for Slack and Skype notifications. Calls are taken via headphones.

Scenario 2, Connecting with a smartphone via Bluetooth every day for about 2 hours worked for approximately 3 days. During testing, we tried at 100% volume. At a lower volume, the result will certainly improve.

As per battery backup, I am pretty satisfied. What about 0 to 100 charging time? Does it support fast charging? pTron Fusion Evo supports only 5-watt 1 Amp chargers so take out the tiny 5-watt Apple chargers for this!

This is because the soundbar has a micro USB charging socket that doesn’t support fast charging. So these are the two summers with this soundbar.

So how long does pTron Fusion Evo take to charge fully? Well, it takes about 3 hours to reach 100 percent from 0. Keeping the longer battery backup in mind, this 3-hour is not bad!

Should You Buy pTron Fusion Evo V2 Soundbar?

If you are looking for a premium-looking and soft-to-the-touch soundbar then yes, you should buy the pTron Fusion Evo soundbar. Along with the looks it packs in 5 modes to play your music. Be it aux, Bluetooth, pen drive, micro SD card, or even FM! You will not be bored anymore! Being a portable as well as a table soundbar it’s compact and lightweight.

To cater to your music needs, the soundbar comes with a 1200 mAh battery which is great and you will not be having issues with it. The overall battery backup is shared above which you have read already.

As far as audio quality goes. it’s almost distortion-free with good vocals and instruments. Sure, the bass is not that strong but it’s surely there. Another thing to notice is the loudness. This soundbar is very loud for a big room of about 15×15 room. Not just that, even in the open it’s quite loud. You can have a good time in a park or while camping.

So should you buy one? Well, yes you can confidently get this soundbar for under 1000 Rs. The only caveat is with the Micro USB charging port and lack of fast charging.

Other than that, it’s a great soundbar that we confidently recommend.

  Hammer Bash Max Review | The Best headphone Under 2500 Rs?
  If you are looking for comfortable over-ear headphones that you can wear for long hours, this is the one to buy! Other than comfort, the looks are quite spectacular too! What about other things? Well, here’s the Hammer Bash Max Review after 7 months of use! It packs everything a headphone around 2.5k should have like; USB-C Charging, Mostly fabric body, premium looks, Dual Bluetooth connection, etc. But still, there are many things that we experienced in the past 4 months. So let’s talk about that. If you are new to PadhkeDekho, we use a product for a month before publishing our statistics. All the testing was done indoors, outdoors, during transit, and in all the other places where users use headphones so that our readers get the best information. In this Hammer Bash Max review, you will learn about the Pros and cons, Specs, Unboxing experience, Built Quality, Looks, Comfort, Features, Audio Quality, Mic Quality, Battery Backup, and finally, our verdict on whether you should buy it or not. With that said, let’s begin the Hammer headphone review with pros and cons. Hammer Bash Max Specifications FeatureValueBluetooth Version5.3Dual Bluetooth ConnecitonYesTiltable/FoldableYes/NoAudio Drivers (MM)40Frequency Range2.402 GHz – 2.480 GHzBattery mAh3.7v, 500Charging Voltage5V/1AMedia ControlsTouch Panel on Right Earcup Color Options3Check More Specs onAmazon Built Quality (10/10) The moment you hold the headphones, it’s all cloth & soft fabric on your fingertips. Be it the headband or earcups you will feel like it’s a premium product. Other than fabric, you will feel some plastic for headband adjusters & tilt mechanism. The adjusters have a common slid-in and-out design with 8 levels of adjustments. So far the headband adjusters work fine and there’s no squeaking or panel plastic noise. Just below the headband, you will see the tiltable earcups. Thanks to the design, you can flat out the earcups and rest them on the neck or in the backpack when traveling. On the right ear cup, you will see the touch controls & single button to control media or accept or end the call. It’s quite a neat headphone. What about durability? This headphone has visited the gym a few times, jogging sessions, late-night movie marathons, ruff handling, etc. and it’s in implacable condition. Sure, we will test it more and keep updating the article as time passes. So at the moment, the built quality is quite good and Hammer Bash Max gets a 9/10 in this department. Looks (10/10) Hands down, Hammer Bash Max is the best-looking headphone under 3000 Rs. Starting from the ear cups the headband design is very futuristic. The fabric on the headband (the top and bottom offer different designs) makes it look very premium. It shows attention to detail. The ear cup fabric speaks of quality. It is a soft and breathable material that snugs so well that you will not wish to remove it even after long sessions. We’ve talked more about it in the Comfort section. We bought Cool Grey color and the overall color scheme feels like a 5000 Rs headphones. It also comes in Apricot and Black color as well. Hammer has not offered any color combination, it’s pure single color but the plastic and fabric combination gives it a remarkable presence. I liked the “fake leather” treatment on the earcups fabric Hammer Bash Max looks great so here’s 5/5 for that! Comfort & Grip (9/10) When it comes to comfort nothing beats Over-Ear headphones. This statement is true for Hammer Bash Max as well. The ear cup padding is very soft, the fabric on the headband generates a firm grip and the best part is the clamping force, It is so firm that the headphones rest around the ears with utmost comfort. Since the earcups have tiltablity, you will find your sweet spot the moment you wear these. Hammer Bash Max is a very comfortable headphone that you can easily wear for 4+ hours. So if you are looking for an over-ear headphone that you can wear for long hours without a single minute of discomfort, this is the one to get. What about workouts or gym use? You can wear it to the gym. The clamping force is high and the headphones stay on even during high-intensity movements. I do a lot of cardio activities and it did not fall even once. It’s a different breed of over-ear headphones that check marks for comfort & grip during workouts. So, Hammer Bash Max gets a solid 9/10 for comfort & workout-centric nature. Features (9/10) #1 Dual Bluetooth Connection: Hammer Bash Max can be paired to two devices simultaneously. This is a great feature if you switch between two devices quite often. So, you are watching a movie on your laptop and get a call on your phone. You can accept it and take the call via the headphones. #2 Touch Controls: Usually headphones have physical buttons to increase/decrease the volume, move to the next track, or repeat. But Hammer added touch controls to this headphone and things are working quite well. You will need to spend some time before getting used to it. But before that please remove the sticker for an even better response. #3 Full-Tiltable Headphone: The headband allows 90-degree revolvable ear cups. As a result, you can tilt the earcups completely 90 degrees and lay the headphones straight in your bag pack. This helps in better space management during travel. Also, it will enhance comfort if you keep the headphones on your neck during travels. #4 Bluetooth 5.3: Under 3000 Rs many headphones offer Bluetooth 5.0. But the latest version is 5.3 and that’s what Hammer offered. We are not saying 5.0 is bad, but we have experienced better reception with a higher Bluetooth version of audio gear. As a result, we did not face audio breaking or disturbance even when the paired device was about 5 to 6 meters away in the bag while I was working out. #5 IPX3 Water Resistance: When a headphone can be used in a gym or for jogging some amount of water resistance is a must. Because water can cause damage in the long run with the Hammer Bash Max, you get IPX3 water resistance that will allow you to focus more on the workout than the water damage! Audio Quality (8/10) This is the first time we’ve tried Hammer headphones and it is good. Hammer Bash Max comes with a 40mm audio driver. As you know, we never boast an audio gear with the driver size as it is just marketing. What matters is how good the quality of the driver is. Let’s talk about that. The very first thing you will notice is the distortion-free sound signature. Yes, we’ve tested a variety of songs, podcasts, media content, etc, and nothing baffled the audio drivers. Kudos to Hammer for that. The overall audio quality is crisp and full of detail. The vocals, instruments, and trebles are the strong suit. The bass is decent, certainly not a bass-heavy headphone. You will enjoy media consumption or listening to music. Though the sound signature is good we felt the loudness could’ve been better. if you are coming from Infinity or BoAt headphones you will feel the volume is around 80%. This is not bad! Because it makes Hammer Bash Max a headphone with no audio leak you can wear it anywhere without worrying what people will “think” about what you are listing. We had never been so confident about headphones in the outdoors. So to sum up, the overall audio quality is quite good with plenty of details in vocals, instruments, and even trebles but the bass is decent not the best. Score Card ValueVocals9.5/10Treble9/10Bass7.5/10Overall Loudness8/10Overall Clarity9/10Best Buy LinkAmazon Therefore, Hammer Bash Max gets 8/10. Call/Mic Quality (8.5/10) Most headphones offer a microphone but only a few are good for taking calls and Hammer Bash Max is on it! Though there’s only a single microphone on the right earcup it picks up voice quite clearly. There will be no complaints of static disturbance or low volume from the other person on the call. Moreover, the mic is so responsive it picks up your voice even if you whisper. Since there’s no ENC (Environmental Noise Cancellation) mic picks ambient noise. Hence, if you have a lot of disturbance or people talking loudly in your proximity it will be transferred as is. During our testing of the mic indoors as well as outdoors, we found it quite good and did not have a single network disturbance or interference. So for calling, Hammer Bash Max gets an 8.5/10. Battery Backup & Charging (8/10) Over-ear headphones are known for their battery backup and Hammer Bash Max is no expectation either! It packs in a 500 mAh battery and can provide juice for about 18 hours. So, what are the real-world figures? You can expect anywhere between 12 to 15 hours even with Dual Bluetooth Connected Devices and max volume. If you use headphones for 2 hours a day, expect a little over 1 week. Everyone has a different listing pattern so can’t predict an “exact” number, however, if you prefer to listen to music at around 60 to 80% volume, then you will move closer to the claimed figures. In terms of battery backup, you will not be disappointed. However, you should also know that there’s no provision for aux-in. This means you will not be able to use this headphone as a wired headphone. This can be a deal breaker for many, so choose accordingly. So with lightweight, we have no issues with the battery backup. Thus, Hammer Bash Max gets 8/10. What About Charging? Hammer Bash Max comes with a USB-C cable and supports fast charging too. Though, that’s not mentioned anywhere on the website. On the user manual, it says to use 5V/1A voltage. I guess using a higher-powered charge can damage the battery. However, for the past 4 months we have been using a 20-watt charger, it reached from 10 to 100% in 2 hours and 10 mins. You can get even better results with 40 or 60-watt chargers. Do not worry it will not damage the headphones. New chargers are smart they “only” send “current” the headphone or audio gear can handle. if you are a casual user who uses headphones for 2 to 3 hours a day, you will be fine for a week. So we do not mind the battery backup. There could have been an aux-in mode. Should You Buy Hammer Bash Max? Yes, if you are looking for a comfortable headphone. Other reasons to buy it are the premium built quality, best in-hand feel, workout friendly, good mic for calling, overall good audio quality, dual Bluetooth connection, and more than a week’s battery backup! Why you should not buy Hammer Bash Max? There’s some latency during gaming and the lack of “aux-in” does pinch being a gamer. Another reason is bass. It’s decent but certainly not a bass-heavy headphone as the brand claims. As far as warranty goes, Hammer gives only 6 months of warranty which you should also know. With all the pros and cons, we think Hammer Bash Max is a good headphone for the price especially since the build/feel are the biggest highlight. This is the most premium headphone you can get under 3000 Rs. Is it the best for audio quality? Well, yes, if bass is not your only parameter. Out of 10, the Hammer Bash Max gets an 8.5/10 from us.
