Wireless Tour Guide Sets TT106S VS TT106

In June 2025, ReteKess launched a new tour guide system TT106S. It is an upgraded version of TT106. Although the two devices are similar in function, TT106S, as an upgraded version of TT106, has become the choice of more users with its stronger performance and longer battery life. Today, we will deeply analyze the various functions of these two products and help you make a choice, which device is more suitable for your needs.

Working range

TT106 has a working range of 150 meters (492 feet), which is sufficient for most small and medium-sized tour guide groups. However, in some large tourist attractions, museums or outdoor activities, the tour guide and tourists may be kept at a longer distance. At this time, the 200-meter (656-foot) working range of TT106S is particularly important, ensuring that the tour guide and tourists can still maintain clear communication at a longer distance.

Signal quality

The signal-to-noise ratio of TT106S is ≥80dB, which means that it can effectively reduce background noise when transmitting signals compared to TT106. This improvement in signal quality makes TT106SWireless Tour Guide Sets perform better in noisy environments, especially suitable for places with large traffic, such as museum exhibitions, tourist attractions or conference venues.

Sound quality

The sound quality of TT106S Wireless Tour Guide Sets is very clear and clean, using 16-bit 48K sampling rate and built-in noise reduction algorithm. TT106 uses 8-bit 8K sampling rate, and the sound has background noise. The higher the sampling rate, the more accurate the audio representation. tt106s has better and clearer sound quality and louder sound. I strongly recommend tt106 to friends who pursue high-quality audio!

Battery life

For any wireless tour guide system, battery life is a very important issue for users. TT106S performs particularly well in this regard. Compared with TT106's 23-hour battery life, TT106S's receiver can last up to 50 hours, which means you can use the device for a long time without frequent charging. This is very suitable for long tour guide work, corporate training or long meetings, without having to worry about the device running out of power midway.

The transmitter of TT106S also has a battery life of 23 hours, which is comparable to TT106, but the receiver's extra-long battery life undoubtedly enhances its advantage in long-term use.

Channel number

Both TT106S and TT106S have 9999 channels. This provides ample options to avoid interference and ensure stable signal transmission.
In traditional wireless tour guide systems, the number of channels is small, which is prone to channel conflicts or interference, especially in places with dense crowds or complex signals, such as museums, exhibitions, tourist attractions, etc. The selectability of 9999 channels greatly enhances the system's anti-interference ability. Even in complex wireless environments, users can avoid frequent signal interference and distortion problems by selecting appropriate channels.

User-friendly design and operation experience

Ease of use is crucial for both tour guide systems and other electronic devices. User experience is particularly important, especially in a busy environment, the easier the device is to operate, the better. The design of TT106S focuses on one-touch operation. The large button design allows users to easily turn on and off, mute, and pair channels without complicated key combinations. Especially when the tour guide needs to focus on explaining rather than operating the device, this one-touch mute and one-touch shutdown design undoubtedly greatly facilitates the tour guide's operation.

In comparison, the operation of TT106 is more complicated and has fewer buttons, but the function is slightly less intuitive than TT106S. For example, a combination of operations is required when changing channels, which may require a certain learning cost for first-time users.

In general, TT106S provides a simpler and more intuitive operation method, especially for those who are not familiar with device operation. Large buttons and simplified operation processes make it easier to control the device.

Comfort and durability

Wearing headphones for a long time is a situation that both tour guides and listeners may encounter, especially for tourists, wearing comfort is particularly important. Both TT106S and TT106 adopt ear hook design, which makes wearing more comfortable, and the ultra-light weight of 18 grams ensures that it will not cause ear burden when worn for a long time. Moreover, both TT106S and TT106 use silicone material, which is not only soft and comfortable, but also more durable and not easy to wear. It can withstand the wear and tear of daily use and extend the service life of the equipment.

Compared with traditional earbud headphones, this ear hook design reduces the pressure on the ear canal and provides a more comfortable wearing experience. For tour guides and tourists who need to wear headphones for a long time, this design is undoubtedly a very humane improvement.

Smart Energy Saving Function: Extend the Life of the Device

TT106S Wireless Tour Guide Sets also performs very well in battery management. It is equipped with a smart energy saving function. When the receiver does not detect a signal within 20 minutes, it will automatically shut down to save power and extend the life of the device. This function is particularly important for tour guides because it ensures that the device does not waste power when idle and still has enough power for the next use.
TT106 does not have a similar smart energy saving function. Although it also has a longer battery life, it does not have the smart shutdown design like TT106S, which makes the battery management of TT106S Wireless Tour Guide Sets  more efficient, especially suitable for long-term use.

0-9 levels of receiving volume

TT106S and TT106 have 9 levels of volume to choose from. Level 0 is silent mode; Level 1 to Level 9; the volume ranges from faint to loud; different volume levels are suitable for different occasions, including crowded environments, quiet spaces, and noisy places. Each level of volume is carefully designed to ensure that the voice of the tour guide or interpreter can be clearly heard in different environments without being too harsh or unclear.

The screen is clearer and strong light does not affect it. Observe the screens of TT106S and TT106. The TT106S screen is clearer and does not affect viewing under strong light. Although the screens of the two models of transmitters are the same, the screen of the TT106 transmitter is farther away from the display screen, so it is not clear due to reflection; the screen of the TT106S transmitter is closer to the display screen and there is no reflection problem.

Design and appearance: Modern appearance upgrade

In terms of appearance design, TT106S has also made some modern improvements. Compared with the black color of TT106, TT106S uses a more modern blue color. This blue is not only more eye-catching and fashionable, but also conforms to the aesthetic trend of modern design, making the device more recognizable in various occasions, especially in places that require high visibility such as travel and meetings, the blue design is easier to identify. If you are used to the black color, the blue color will make your eyes shine.

Pricing and cost-effectiveness

Compared with TT106, TT106S is priced lower, and it has stronger functions, longer battery life, clearer signals and better user experience. TT106S undoubtedly provides a higher cost-effectiveness. Especially when frequent use, long-term guided tours or large-scale activities are required, the performance of TT106S is undoubtedly more advantageous. So buy TT106S immediately without hesitation.

Applicable scenarios: A wider range of applications

Both TT106 and TT106S are very suitable for a variety of scenarios such as tourism, education and training, conferences, and industrial sites. However, TT106S is obviously suitable for larger-scale activities and more complex environments due to its longer working range, longer battery life, and higher signal quality. For example, it is very suitable for large-scale museum tours, outdoor tours, international conferences, and corporate training, where clear remote communication is required.

Tourism industry: It can ensure smooth communication between tour guides and tourists, and tourists can hear clearly even if they are far away from the tour guide. (Up to 200 meters)

Education and training: Suitable for large-class teaching or group training, ensuring that all students can hear the explanation clearly. (Long transmission distance and long standby time of 50 hours are suitable for long courses)
