To test the Tenqa SP-99 Bluetooth Speaker I connected to the device with my iPhone 3GS. The iPhone recognized the Tenqa SP-99 Bluetooth Speaker right away and asked me for the pin number, 0000. Once entered the speaker was synced and ready to play music.The controls on top of the speaker didn’t control the tracks on my iPhone
. The sound quality from the speaker is about what I expected. It has decent high and mid range sounds and relatively little bass. Considering there is no subwoofer, which is not surprising. Other than the lack of bass, the sound the Tenqa SP-99 Bluetooth Speaker produces is very good. There is plenty of volume and the tracks played smoothly with no skipping or stuttering even when I moved around with the iPhone in my pocket.
The speaker is certainly compact enough to carry with you on the road as well. it can be slipped into a notebook bag and used as a wireless speaker or tossed in a bag to take to the pool or beach during warm weather. The Tenqa SP-99 Bluetooth Speaker is a very simple little speaker that has little to go wrong Setup is a snap and using the speaker is a breeze.
They mentioned the inability for the track controls on the SP-99 to change tracks on the iPhone. It’s a shame that Apple has yet to change their software on the iPhone and iPod touch to allow these functions to work but they were also late in the game with Bluetooth A2DP stereo streaming capabilities, having only released it this summer. It’s a minor problem since you’ll probably be doing all your track changes from your phone anyways but it would be nice! So, if you know a software engineer at Apple, tell them to fix the AVRCP feature!
