Good value for this headphones!
I was expecting good value and good price to be able to listen to my music wirelessly on the go or going lately to the gym. I was good up to 33 feet away. I could connect my Iphone Touch and my computer without problem. The control volume and tracks directly from headphones were the finest thing. Handsfree calling for my mobile phone and music pauses during call, you talk through the internal mic, music resumes upon call completion. Wow, liked so much.
Rechargeable battery with USB charger included to be free of AC outlets.
Good headphones for running, reasonable price
I had been spending a lot of time searching for a good headphone for running and i think i found it. My previous purchases includes nokia bh-503 and motorola s305. The nokia is good but it is heavy on the ears.It will hurt for extended wear. I still use it as my back up because it is realible. The motorola is good when it works. I had to return the first one I got. Amazon did a great job on sending a replacement. when the second one stop working I gave up. I had read the negative reviews on the motorola and I was hoping I would be lucky and get one that actually works. oh well i am not lucky.
Enough about the other products. The tenqa is excellent for the price. One look at it and I knew I found a winner. Built quality is good and it fits perfectly. Sound quality is not the best or the worst. Bluetooth connection was a breeze. I did not use the product extensively to determine the battery life but I do not think it will be a problem. I use it for 2 hours straight out of the box, and that is good enough for me. I use it to make phone calls and I did not get any complaints from parties on the opposite end of the calls. If you need a bluetooth headphone for gym or running this is it. I have only had this product couple days but if it stops working I will be sure to update this review.
As expected
This headphone does everything I expect. I use it mostly during exercise and I find that the volume is more than sufficient. Controls on the right side work fine and I am able to receive cell phone calls without any problems. During cell phone conversations, I can hear the caller speaking but sometimes I need to speak louder for the caller to hear me.
The unit comes with a two sided USB charger and my only issue with this item is that the charger is not an outlet charger. You need to plug the unit into a computer. Obviously, this was done to save money and that caused me to rate the headphone less than 5. I don't use the headphone for computing so this makes it less useful. I have had to to reuse my old USB wall charger.
One good thing about the design at least for me is that since I use this primarily for exercise, I like the fact that the foam on the ear cups are integrated into the unit instead of the more common slip on design. The slip on design tends to come off over time, get distended and becomes a nuisance. The foam on these units will not come off unless ripped which also means they would be harder to replace.
The unit holds its charge sufficiently, I have yet to run out of charge even after 10 hours of use. Still to determine is the longterm overall durability of this unit.
Good deal for bluetooth headphones
After quite a bit of searching these were some of the best Bluetooth headphones options I could find. Most options were either crazy expensive or were single-ear devices intended only for phone calls. After some confusion I was able to pair with my cell phone and now use these headphones for listening to music.
As for calls, despite the fact that the microphone is located somewhere back in the earpiece it seemed to pick up my voice very clearly in a test call. When I received a call the music stopped and I simply pressed the phone button to take the call. When I was done, the music automatically resumed.
Comfort is one of the few complaints I need to raise here. These are wrap-around-the-back style, which I was unaccustomed to. The weight of the headphones does cause some discomfort after extended use, but at this price range I am satisfied.
Range seems to be pretty good. I can play music between floors most of the time without interruption, not that I really need to. Have not tried with jogging yet, but I can tell you that these things are not going to be flying off my head due to any bumping or jostling.
Finally, and for some most importantly, audio quality is generally quite good. These compare favorably with a lot of mid-range phones I've used. True audiophiles may be disappointed, but the average user will likely find little to complain about.
Overall, I am very satisfied. These headphones do what they say they do, and I think that comparatively they are one of the best deals around for good-quality Bluetooth headphones.
A great pair of Bluetooth headphones for a great price!
All I can say is WOW! I read all the reviews that people left about this product before buying it and was hesitant about even ordering them, but they were one of only a few that were in my price range at the time ($25 and under). Let me just say that for the price they are awesome! I needed to buy a new set of headphones because the wired ones that came with my phone had a short in them causing only 1 side to work. I have the T-mobile G1 (I feel it's important to list the type of phone that I have because no one else does, and if you are looking at buying a product it helps to know which phones it works well with and which ones it doesn't), and they work great with no problems so far! The sound quality is very good (probably not as good as Sony, or any of the other more expensive brands) for the price and the volume goes up loud enough for my tastes. All of the buttons function properly I have not yet reached the limit of the talk/listen time advertised by the manufacturer of 6 hours. I just listen to these on the bus on the way to work and then home again. The only thing I have noticed is that when I am on an actual phone call the volume is kind of quiet so I have to strain to hear her and that I have to speak up because they were having a bit of trouble hearing me. I have only talked to one person using these so far so that might just be her phone/her voice. I have not had the music change speeds yet as some people have mentioned in their reviews, but every now and again the song will cut out for a split second but then come right back on. Probably just the signal, and so it is not a deal breaker for me. Another potential problem I see is that it only comes with a USB charging cord and not one for the wall. It's not an issue to for me per se, because my phones charging cord will charge these (mini USB), but if you don't have one of those, then you will have no choice but to charge them from your computer only. The blue light on the side is a bit annoying and flashes non stop every second, but it's not too bad because when I am wearing them I can't see the light lol. As far as being ugly, I would say that they look only slightly bulkier than a pair of wired behind the head headphones I have owned in the past, so I don't think they look too awkward. They fit even around my big head, though I have noticed that if I don't adjust them properly, that it pinches the top of my right ear slightly, but I don't blame the headphones, I blame my big head and big ears lol. Sure, there are probably better Bluetooth headphones out there, but for the price (under $25) these work phenomenally!
UPDATE: 11/14/2010
These headphones are still going strong! They have definitely surpassed all my expectations! One thing I do find annoying and I am not sure if it is my phone or the headphones, but when I power on the headphones, my phone does not automatically connect to them. I have to go into the settings in my phone and tell it to connect to them. I don't have to do this with my Bluetooth headset, but it is more of a minor inconvenience and definitely would not deter me from ordering another pair in the future should these ever wear out. I do sometimes notice the speed of the music changes, but it only happens when I am using the volume control on the headphones to turn the music up and when I reach the maximum volume it beeps twice (to let me know it can't go any higher) and the speed slows down but only for about a second, then goes right back to normal speed.
Not so great
I bought these to run in - and I have a 3gs iPhone that I linked them to. The sound quality seems to be good for the price but there are 2 problems with the playback. First the music will often slow down and/or speed up on it's own. Not sure what could be causing this as I have never had this happen with other bluetooth or wired headphones. Secondly, occasionally there are skips in the playback where the music will go off for a quick second then come back on. And the phone is always strapped to my arm so it's never more than 2 feet away from the headphones. I fear I will be ordering a higher quality set of headphones soon.
Great.
I bought these headphones for my iPod touch because I was sick of wire problems with other headphones. First the shipping was incredibly fast, came in two business days. I use these headphones everyday for when I run and when I bike, the sound quality is amazing and you can just put your iPod in your pocket and go. Long battery time and great wireless sound, If your looking for a cheap good pair of wireless headphones, you would want these.
