Design
Element Force SoundPulse’s design is superb on every level possible, including material usage. The main shell of the speaker is composed of high-quality, durable plastic with two reinforcement frames on each side of the speaker grills, reinforced by a total of 16 screws on both sides.
Element Force SoundPulse is protected by a thick rubber coating that protects the speaker from scratches and bumps. The downside of the layer is that it can also easily attracts dust particles, so if you are planning to take it to the beach, it’s best you buy a protective carrying case, or the sand might stick to the rubber surface, and then you would have to invest some time in cleaning it.

Metal Hook
Element Force SoundPulse comes with a rectangle-shaped belt alloy metal hook for outdoor adventures like camping, hiking, or biking. You can attach the clip to a belt or a backpack, preferably with a rectangular-shaped metal belt loop.
Weight
Despite the superb build quality, the Element Force SoundPulse is not the most lightweight portable speaker, with a weight of 794gr. It might be challenging to carry if you plan on using it for long-distance walking trips mounted to a belt.

Features & user interface
Measuring only 204 x 64 x 80mm (HxWxD) and weighing 794 grams, the Element Force SoundPulse is so tiny you can hold it in one hand. It’s 3300mAh x2 lithium battery can power the speaker for up to fifteen hours on a single charge.
Element Force SoundPulse comes with a USB Type-C cable that connects to the Type-C port on the back, which can also accommodate other USB power sources that provide 5V/3A (Max), which most do. Next to the Type-C port, you have a Micro-SD slot and an AUX port to use the speaker through a stereo cable with P.C, laptop, tablet, etc.
The driver is joined by two side-firing passive radiators behind a perforated metal grille on both sides of the speaker. Powered by a 20-watt amp with advanced DSP equalization, the frequency response is specified to extend from 80Hz to 18KHz with a maximum acoustic distortion of ≤1.0%.

First Time Operation
You have two options to connect/pair the Element Force SoundPulse with a mobile device such as a handset /Tablet PC/Set-top box.
Connectivity
Bluetooth Pairing
To pair with a mobile device, you need to power on the speaker, go to the Bluetooth settings, and select the device name ‘Element Force SoundPulse.’ Once the pairing process is completed, you will hear a beeping sound, and that’s it; you are ready.
NFC Pairing
An easy option for non-tech users. Using the NFC is a lot simpler and friendlier to use. To pair a handset (mobile phone), you just need to enable Bluetooth and the NFC options and place the phone on the speaker for a few seconds. The pairing between devices is established automatically, without the need to select a device from a list of Bluetooth devices.
Performance
The sound quality was impressive, with a significant bass effect that was very noticeable when tested with audio track samples. The speaker’s sound volume was also high and loud enough to be played both indoors and outdoors.
Final verdict
I didn’t find many cons about the speaker, except maybe an FM radio option, which could have been an excellent option, and its weight (794g) might be an issue for some people to carry outdoors. The bottom line, Tronsmart element Force Sound Pulse is a fantastic Bluetooth speaker with excellent sound quality that is definitely worth the money.
