As impressive as many earphones and earbuds are these days, the fact that they need to be wired in order to work makes them inconvenient to use in a number of conditions specially during activities like sports. Tenqa Fit Bluetooth Earbuds offer a versatile solution. Super portable and with 5-hours of battery life, they're designed to keep us entertained when working out.
Completely designed for sports, Tenqa's earbuds use the Bluetooth 4.0 standard and the company says they are rated for users who run, play, lift, and workout indoors or outdoors with your phone, tablet, or iPod tucked away safely in your pocket, on your treadmill, or up to 33 feet away from you giving you maximum freedom to perform for up to 5.5 hours. After you are set up, just turn on your wireless earbuds and your music device will automatically pair so you can listen to your music or mobile content tangle-free.
What I liked most about the Tenqa set is how unobtrusive they are. Once you find the right earbud adaptors for your ears, they fit in nice and snugly. The noodle-like wire that connects both earphones can take some getting used to but it eventually fades into the background.
Pairing the Ten qa with an iPhone, Android or Windows Phone is easy and straightforward and you can control volume from the headphones or if you prefer, from your mobile device.
Sound quality is surprisingly good, there's a nice mix of range and depth and while not as stellar as some wired sets, it is certainly more impressive than many Bluetooth sports headphones I've tried. I usually listen to podcasts while running or doing chores and for that, the Tenqa Fit was perfect.
For the runner in your life or for anyone who is tired of dealing with wired headphones, the Tenqa Fit is an awesome choice at $70. Just consider that the audio is good for 5-hours, if you need something that lasts longer, you might need to look elsewhere (or just give your ears a rest).
