Tenqa SP-99 Bluetooth Speakers Review

by Mark Adkins

We carry more and more music with us every day- MP3 players, cell phones, laptops, and more. We are also carrying a dizzying array of ways to play this all back- earphones, headphones, mini-speakers, big speakers, travel speakers, radio docks, stereo docks and more. What does the Tenqa SP-99 Bluetooth Speaker add to this mix?

Well, in a nutshell- wireless connectivity to all of your Bluetooth stuff. While it has both a stereo in and stereo out jack, and comes with a handy 15″ M-M 1/8″ stereo patch cord, its strength is that it connects easily to your Bluetooth gear- and as a bonus, can even act as a remote control if the Bluetooth device is AVRCP compatible (my HP Mini laptop is, my Blueberry Curve 8300 is not).

Let’s talk specs.  The SP-99 is packed with the 15″ patch cord, a nice long power supply (classic wall wart design), and a short instruction booklet. It can run on AC or 4AA batteries (not included).

2010 Cadillac SRX 3.0 AWD Performance Review - Autochannel (press release)

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH CAREY RUSS 2010 Cadillac SRX 3.0 AWD Performance The second generation of Cadillac's SRX luxury crossover is here. Or should that be "second iteration"? For while it is still Cadillac's entry in the mid-sized luxury crossover class, the 2010 SRX shares nothing but its name with the vehicle that debuted back in model year 2004. Surprisingly, it's a smaller, less-expensive vehicle. Or maybe that's not so surprising, given the volatility in fuel prices, changes in government fuel economy standards, concern over greenhouse gas emissions, and economic turmoil that seems to pass for early 21st Century reality. Don't think that "smaller and less-expensive" is synonymous with the pejorative "cheaper" here. Cadillac made that mistake once, long ago, and isn't about to do that again. And parent General Motors is in no position allow, or even tolerate that, either. The 2010 SRX is a true Cadillac, and offers distinctive styling, good performance and fuel economy, and fine road manners that allow it to compete with the best from Japan, Germany, and the U.S.A.

Voiis Bluetooth music streamer - Reg Hardware

We've seen Bluetooth audio accessories that will stream the output from your telly or hi-fi to a pair of wireless headphones, and we've tried devices that will pick up streamed stereo and feed through to a pair of ordinary cabled cans. But we haven't seen many gadgets that do both.

The Voiis Wireless Music Gateway, from supplier Mobile Action, is one that is able to both receive and transmit A2DP wirefree audio.

It's an oddly shaped gizmo: a sort of shiny white plastic horn 120mm tall. It comes with an external AC adaptor which can be commended twice over. First, it has a mini USB output, so you can use it for other kit too, and second, it's very compact. It integrates a three-pin plug and is no bigger than your average phone charger.

Sennheiser Debuts Wired, Wireless Headphones - Twice

OLD LYME, CONN. — Sennheiser introduced a variety of new headphones this month in both the wired and wireless categories.

The first models in a series of wireless headphones — models RS 160, RS 170 and RS 180 — are all said to feature audio via uncompressed wireless transmission from Kleer.

The RS 180 can be used at a radius of up to 328 feet, while the RS 160 can be used up to 65 feet and the RS 170 up to 262 feet. Dynamic transducers with neodymium magnets and a distortion of 0.5 percent reproduce even the subtlest musical nuances, the company said. The frequency range is listed as 18,000Hz to 21,000Hz, with a sound pressure level of 110dB.

Other features include padded ear cups and adjustable headbands.

Suggested retail are as follows: RS 160, $259; RS 170, $329.95; and RS 180, $389.95.

The PX 210 BT portable mini headphones, equipped with Bluetooth and new Apt-X coding technology, has a transmission range of up to 33 feet and are said to weigh less than 4 ounces. The earpiece features audio controls, which can activate or deactivate the Bluetooth function, regulate the volume and navigate a playlist. The rechargeable lithium-polymer battery provides up to 12 hours of use before needing to be recharged, the company said.

Frequency response is listed at 15,000Hz to 22,000Hz. Sennheiser said its patented Duofol diaphragms almost entirely eliminate standing waves to reproduce brilliant highs and fast, tight low end with impeccable clarity.

The Apt-X coding technology for compressing audio data was originally developed for use in the professional audio and broadcasting sectors, the company said, claiming it is one of the first manufacturers to incorporate this technology into consumer headphones.

Suggested retail is… read more.

Turtle Beach Ear Force X41 - headset - CNET Reviews

Wireless headphones have been around for a while, but it’s only been in the past few years that quality has gotten high enough for discerning listeners to consider using them. Many manufacturers, for instance, have turned to infrared (IR) technology for wireless signal transmission, which powered the Turtle Beach X4 we looked at last year. Overall we felt the IR radius was a bit narrow and we really disliked the fact that they didn’t work well while using a plasma TV.

The Turtle Beach X41 headphones are essentially the same product, but instead of using an IR signal, this headset takes advantage of an RF (radio frequency) to provide wireless audio. Besides a few hiccups and a hefty price tag, the X41s are one of the best wireless gaming headsets around.

While the Ear Force X41s are designed with the Xbox 360 in mind–they include a removable microphone and connections for chatting on Xbox Live–the headphones will actually deliver convincing surround sound from nearly any home theater source, thanks to their built-in 7.1-channel Dolby Digital processing.

The Ear Force X41 headphones include two main components: the wireless headphones themselves and a base station that houses most of the necessary jacks. The base gives you the option of either using a digital audio connection or an analog signal via a set of stereo RCA cables (red/white). That means that they will work with pretty much any audio source–anything with an optical digital output (such as a DVD player or the Apple TV) or standard analog line outs (pretty much everything). You could easily use the X41 headphones with a PlayStation 3 or Wii, but just don’t expect to take advantage of voice chat–that’ll only work with the Xbox 360.

The system boasts both Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic IIx processing; the former handles the bit-stream surround soundtracks on DVD and Blu-ray movies and most video games, while the latter does a decent job of creating a faux-surround effect from any stereo source. The X41s’ transmitter base also have a line-in volume control allowing you to just adjust the level of the incoming source. Up front there’s also a headphone jack with a volume adjuster that will play the same audio being broadcasted. Finally, the base also features a “bypass” button that will allow you to hear unprocessed audio.

Setting up the Ear Force X41 headphones is fairly simple. For Dolby Digital processing, you’ll use the included 7-foot optical cable to connect your Xbox 360 (or another digital source) to the “digital in” port on the transmitter base. If you’re also using an AV receiver and surround speakers, don’t worry; there’s a digital out port for passing the signal on, so you don’t have to constantly unplug and plug in wires whenever you want to play using the headphones.

Turtle Beach includes all the cables you need to start gaming and chatting.

For power, the X41s ship with a USB cord that plugs directly into the base unit. You can plus the USB end of the wire anywhere (including the 360 itself). We had an empty USB port on our cable set-top box, which worked fine. We should note that USB power is your only option here. The unit does not ship with a USB-to-AC adapter.
