How do Bluetooth mp3 speakers work?

Bluetooth mp3 speakers allow high quality audio to stream from the Bluetooth enabled mp3 player to your Bluetooth speaker set. Before, the audio transceiver was connected to a standard output jack. However, the A2DP technology has changed things for better. A2DP, which stands for Advanced Audio Distribution Profile in the Bluetooth mp3 speakers, encodes the incoming data to a Bluetooth enabled format and sends a wireless signal that allows the Bluetooth mp3 speakers to play the sound.

How do Bluetooth mp3 speakers help you?

Considering the fact that you can now stream music wirelessly from your mp3 player, it is a huge bonus. You do not have to worry about installing huge speakers with your players. Nor will you have to worry about having to keep your speakers in the same room as your player. Also since most Bluetooth mp3 speakers are static proof, you can hear crystal clear music from your mp3 player without having to worry about reduced quality of the sound.

Most Bluetooth mp3 speakers have a range of 30 feet. This means that you can dock the Bluetooth mp3 speakers anywhere and just direct the speakers to your player – what you get is effortless music on the move. No more worrying about tripping on tangled wires. No more unsightly wires running through the room!

Since the Bluetooth mp3 speakers are wireless and portable, you can dock them anywhere you want – take them to a picnic, or keep them in your home or office – the freedom that these speakers allow is unbelievable. If you are throwing a party, you can simply take the speakers to the desired room and play the music in full swing, without having to uninstall the wired speakers attached to your player.

Varieties of Bluetooth mp3 speakers

Bluetooth mp3 speakers mean that you can have more fun and less hassle. You can find various kinds of Bluetooth mp3 speakers. While some are good for home and party uses, you can also find some models, which are custom made for listening to music in the car. In these cases, you can use your mobile mp3 device as your remote control.

Bluetooth speakers are external wireless speakers that can be connected with your phone, laptop, desktop, iPod, iPhone, Blackberry or any other compatible music player. They are powerful devices that let you listen to your music with greater flexibility. With Bluetooth speakers, you can say ‘goodbye’ to the wires that dangle from the wall or that tie your mp3 player to a docking station. These are static-proof and allow a crystal-clear sound.

If you want to play music using Bluetooth speakers, your MP3 player or phone will have to be equipped with A2DP technology. A2DP stands for Advanced Audio Distribution Profile which allows high quality audio files to flow wirelessly from a Bluetooth device to a Bluetooth speaker set. A2DP encodes the incoming date to a Bluetooth-capable format and then sends a wireless signal to the speakers to play the sound.

Since Bluetooth speakers, like other Bluetooth devices, usually have a 30 feet range, your phone or iPod is not required to be placed anywhere near the speakers. Moreover, the fact that the speakers are wireless makes them portable enough to set up your speaker anywhere you want to. All you need to do is point pair your music device with the speaker and play your favorite music. It is like having a remote control to your whole music library.

Bluetooth Speaker

Because of their popularity, these speakers are available in a variety of styles and designs. You can go for the compact, portable designed ones that have battery power capabilities or stationary designs that use stereo Bluetooth A2DP technology for transmitting full, stereo sound from your music devices.

There are plenty of advantages to using Bluetooth speakers. Since they are efficient in battery power, they can run for more than a day when fully charged. They can also be used while partying or having other celebrations; because of its slim design, the speakers can be placed anywhere you want to.

However, there are some flipside of the story as well – the range of Bluetooth is pretty limited, meaning that you can only take your player about 30 feet away from the Bluetooth speakers before the connection becomes inconsistent. The major disadvantage is that older iPods do not have built-in Bluetooth, so you will have to make sure you have an iPhone or iPod touch.

Tenqa SP-99 Bluetooth Speaker on i4u.com

Here’s what they had to say….

Specifications
The Tenqa SP-99 Bluetooth Speaker has a wireless range of 33 feet when connected to a class 2 Bluetooth device. The speaker power is 2W x 2 and the touch controls are located on the top of the speaker. Power can come from an AC adapter of from four AAA batteries. The speaker measures 15 z 6.3 x 7.1-inches. The device also has a line in for non-Bluetooth audio players.

In Use
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!

Lots of pics!

Tenqa SP-99 Bluetooth Speaker review

Here’s some highlights…

Overall, if I were looking for a speaker that is both portable and convenient, and I wasn’t overly worried about blowing the doors off of the stadium or listening to the slightest nuances in the music this speaker would do the job just fine. It is small, light, and the pairing process couldn’t be simpler.

When I first took it out of the box I was struck by the device. It has a unique shape to it. The device itself is oblong, but the speaker grill tapers in the middle which adds some interest.

Pairing the speaker with a variety of devices was a breeze. I simply turned on the device (the power indicator shows that it is on and a flashing blue light indicates that it was in pairing mode), opened the Bluetooth setup on any of a number of devices and started the search process. Within a few seconds each device found the speaker. After inputting the highly secure pairing code (0000) the blue light on the speaker went solid indicating that pairing was complete. From there it was as simple as starting the music.

Thanks, Geardiary!
