![]() Thanks to the Boom Player I have a decent collection of classics from Diamond Platnumz. I like that you can not only just stream the content on the application but you can download the music as well. It is ok for a casual listen though but if Tecno really wants the Boom Player to be a one stop shop for the young people who listen to Rick Deees Top 40, BBC Radio 5’s UK Top 40 and the likes, it has to up its game. I don’t know how often those charts are updated but I have the latest UK Top 40 singles chart from a different source (don’t ask me where) and it surely doesn’t match what you’ll find on the Boom J7’s Boom Player (quite a mouthful. The UK Top 40 chart for instance badly needs an update. There’s music from international stars like Jay Z and the like but where things aren’t really good is the charts. ![]() Lack of local content is not the only issue. I’d love to have Sauti Sol, Elani, Hart the Band and other local acts. I do hope they are working to bring more local content. Tecno informed us that it had partnered with all the necessary people involved so the music you’re getting through the app is legal. I only have the likes of Bahati, Rabbit, Octopizzo, Mbuvi and Kenrazy for Kenyan acts. Yes there’s lots of African content but it’s mostly Nigerian with rare continental hits and stars from other countries making an appearance. Save for the individual artist’s category, there’s little Kenyan content you’ll find in the Boom Player application. You’re limited to the sort of music you can find through the Boom Player. The interface is easy to navigate and you can browse the various music genres available or even the charts. Bar my initial set up issues, once you get going, everything is easy. The Boom Player is an attempt by Tecno to merge the hardware with the software and provide an outright music experience to users without having to go through many hops. You can always log in later to your account from the application via email or even your social accounts. When you’re already connected to the internet, the app actually lets you bypass the log in screen. In my preview article I recounted how I was not able to get the Boom Player running since I couldn’t sign in (two-factor authentication issues) but I realized that this was happening because I was attempting to run the application while offline. The bundled music player that is the main selling point also has that Boom branding. Tecno’s own built-in alternatives in the stock music player and the Boom Player are more than satisfactory though. I did not try out my other favourite Android music apps like Rocket player and GoneMad Music with them so you try out and tell us your experience. They however work just fine with the stock music player and the Boom Player so I was stuck with the two. The earphone’s physical button controllers don’t work with the application. I did not get around to using the headsets for other functions like launching the camera (which they can by the way) but I was disappointed that I couldn’t use my favourite music player, Poweramp, with them. While I wish they really stood out in the sound department, I can’t complain either since Tecno managed to cut some corners to keep the costs down while still delivering what is a commendable audio experience on a budget smartphone. They’re not tangle-free in case you’re wondering.Įven with their downsides, I’d say there was really some thought put into the headsets right from their design to the packaging. To cap well-designed accessories, the pair of earphones comes in a lovely small plastic bag with red stitches. Yes they don’t measure up to the premium audio experience you’ll get on a pair of entry-level JBLs but you’ll be out of luck finding others that measure up to them on similarly priced phones. I know sound is supposed to be central but the design stands out. The design is actually the best part of the earphones. They are not particularly classy but considering that any notable low cost device out in the market ships with a fickle pair of earphones, they are impressive.
