Review: TENQA HP-109 Bluetooth Headphones

Most people use bluetooth headsets these days for all of their wireless mobile phone talking needs. But, what if you want to go wireless while listening to your music? There are a variety of options available but most of them are a bit pricey and don’t deliver on sound quality and ease of use.

With the above in mind we set about reviewing the TENQA HP-109 Bluetooth headphones. The headphones themselves ship with a USB cable that is used for charging the device. The kit also includes a manual that walks you through the pairing process and describes the overall functionality of the Bluetooth headphones.

If you’ve ever used bluetooth headphones before, you know that the first thing you need to do is pair. The TENQA HP-109’s don’t have a lot of buttons so instead of a dedicated pairing button you hold down the Power / Answer button for about 6 seconds. Red and blue LEDs will then alternate on the headset and then once paired, the LEDs will flash blue to let you know that you’re paired.

The TENQA HP-109’s can work as either a bluetooth stereo headset (using A2DP) or as a hands-free device for your mobile phone and in my tests I paired the TENQA HP-109 to both my MacBook and my iPhone. The pairing process was straight forward on both devices and I was able to hear music playing back in seconds.

iPhone
For the iPhone test I played music using the built-in iPod player. Music started without issue and the quality of the music playback was solid. The only drawback I found was that the track forward and back buttons didn’t seem to have an affect on the iPhone. When I pressed the track buttons I would hear a pause in the music, but the iPhone would not advance to the next track. I’m not sure what’s causing this issue since I seem to be the only one experiencing it.

I also used the HP-109 as a hands-free device and was able to make a call by dialing a number and then talking using the hands-free device, and also receive a call by pressing the Power / Answer button. The music on the iPhone stopped playing while I took the call and the caller said that the sound quality was fine for a handsfree device.

MacBook
Pairing was just as easy with the MacBook but for some reason I couldn’t get the volume to go loud enough during playback. The HP-109 was discovered without issue but even after jacking up the volume on both the MacBook and the headset itself, it still didn’t go much above a medium volume level.

Overall the sound quality of the TENQA HP-109 is solid enough to give it a look, not to mention that it’s priced affordably at $58.48 on Amazon.com, as of this writing. It can also run for up to 15 hours on a charge, so you can go many days on just one charge, depending on how often you use it.

If you’re looking for a nice wireless headset solution for listening to your tunes and even taking the occasional phone call while working out, check out the TENQA HP-109.

Pandora app for Bluetooth Phones

Yes you can…  If you have the Pandora app on your iPhone, Blackberry, iPod touch, Google Android, Palm Pre, or Windows Mobile phone, you can stream wireless music to your Tenqa Bluetooth Speaker or Bluetooth Headphones.

I’ve got my Blackberry streaming Pandora to the SP-109 Bluetooth Speaker right now.  Try it…  it’s awesome!

Also, other apps work the same way.  We know someone that watches games with the ESPN app for the iPhone and listens to the audio with a Tenqa Bluetooth speaker and Tenqa Bluetooth Headphones.

The possibilities are endless?  Yep…

To us tech nerds, it’s kinda a big deal!

Here’s what they had to say….
