Motorola S9 + S9-HD - Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories

Friends,
Just recently purchased through AT+T the S9 Motorola bluetooth wireless headset. I was wondering what is the difference in sound for the Motorola S9 compared to the S9-HD?
Please advise.
tvos

When I first read your thread title I thought I was going to have to solve a complicated math equation.
The answer is obviously 2.

what is the difference, that is what i am asking...!
do you really hear the difference between the two bluetooth headsets?
tvos

Lol @ X2D.
The difference is between sound, battery life, and the ability to handle sweat. They both suck at reception, although the S9HD does have better bass. I like that the S9HD can handle sweat, while soon enough, S9's will die from it.

I decided to bail on the s9 and order the s9+hd... i tested s9 and it does sound really good and with srs working (extra bass) no complaints here.. but I do want to use this for working out and not having to spend $$ every six months because it shorts out due to water.

Bail? As in return? Give up? Put in a drawer? lol.

return it...while awaiting my s9+hd..
i used my $50.00 refund from the fuze I purchased towards the s9 which at&t sold it for $100.00 costing me $50.00. I found a site on-line for $70.00 which in the end costs me $20.00 for the s9+hd
tvos

S9+hd + srs wow
Just recently returned the S9 for S9+HD and very impressed!
With these two applications it is definitely well worth the investment. I didn't have any problems with reception even up to 30ft.
I definite must have hardware!
tvos

I also upgraded from the regular S9 to the S9-HD and have been very happy. I can't honestly say that I can tell about the sound quality, but the reception and fit is better.

you should definitely install SRS WOW on the diamond... its an incredible difference..
tvos

Never had a problem at all with reception on my S9. Never any static, and works a great distance from the phone.
I'm a fat sweaty guy, and I use mine at the gym. NEVER had a problem with it, but I hear others do. I'm going to assume people just leave the usb cover open or something when they use them.

I had an S9 like a year ago with my Dash and I had to return it twice. I sweat ALOT and it could not handle it. Hopefully the S9HD is better.

is there a carrying case to protect these headphones? i had to return my headphones because there was a rattle coming from the left ear piece.
other than that - i normally clean the stereo headphones from sweat so that way they will be clean.. preventive maintenance..
i have noticed after having the headphones on for awhile, the ears start to ache a bit..

how do you carry the headphones around? do you use a bag, I am afraid that they will be damaged in transit.. I was wondering if there was a case that will protect them?
also, do you get a rattle from the headphones? i RMA'd my first headphone, recieved the new one.. same problem.. or it might be the ear bud.
please advise
tvos

I have a pair now that I use on a daily basis. I have had little problems with them. They sound great, pair to phone easy. (did come across one rom they didn't work with, but that was not the headphones fault)
I picked mine up not long ago for only $60.

mine ran me around $79.00 - I picked up the S9+HD and not the S9 which is a older version.
I noticed a littel rattle in the earpiece.. not sure if it is the rubber part or something inside. I rma'd the first one back to shopcell and recieved new one.. same thing.. so I question this.
do you have this issue? I am a jogger.
tvos

Have any you trie the JayBirds? How do they compare to the S9 HD?

Holy crap what are you people doing to these things. I have the S9 and I have personally had 0 problems. I use them to mow the grass, I even wear them with my motorcycle. Great sound and reception. Never a problem with carrying them around as i pull them out of my ears and let them hang on my neck.
Now the only real issue i have is the speaker head is a little big for my ears, so after a few hours of them in my ears start to hurt. other than that my use of them has been great. Sorry to hear you all have had issues with them.

I ordered a s9 via ebay (31bucks + free shipping). I'm hoping to see it this coming week.

I owned a S9 . By now are unusable. Is a matter of time when controls start to fail when is exposed to sweat. Besides this, I think are great and unique design. Hopefully Motorola can address this problem.

Motorola S9 or Voyager 855

Hi guys, basically going to use this with my Tilt and my PC/Laptop. I need something that will have good audio, but the call quality will be just as good. Hopefully you guys can point be in the right direction.

My S9 works very well with my Tilt, but I have not been able to get the A2DP or other stereo profiles to work with my Lenovo T61p. It's probably the bluetooth stack of the laptop not the headset that is at fault.
I have heard that the phone quality was poor, is this correct?
The call quality has been fine for me. My only issue is that taking a call in a noise cancelled environment is kind of wierd. As a result I really use them for stereo predominately. In the event of a call I have to break the seal in my ears.
The Moto S9 are good, until you get sweaty. Then they'll break and you'd wish you never bought em. Go with JayBirds. They are very nice and good.
I read those reports before buying mine and I know not to work out or mountain bike with them.

*knocks on wood*
I have had my s9's for about a month and have been working in a no air conditioned warehouse (110 and up daily for the last 3 weks) and I haven't had any problems. *again knocks on wood*
Any thoughts on the Voyager folks?

Well I guess they fixed it. Maybe... You'll find out soon enough. I used it for working out usually and when I played sports. So the sweat really got to it and it killed it. I had it replaced 5 times before I told Motorola I want a refund.

Evo Speaker Fails.

So I'm on my second Evo. The first one's speaker blew out within the first two weeks I had it, I went to Best Buy and they exchanged my black Evo for a white one, no questions asked. Now I have my white Evo, and guess what, the speaker blew out. It happens very incrementally. And what's worse is I switched from Best Buy's insurance to Sprints, and I've been told that Sprint won't replace your Evo if its speaker is blown out. Pretty lame.
So what gives? Why are these speakers going out so fast? I've seen a few reports of blown out speakers here. It's kinda' sad that such an awesome phone possesses such a bunk speaker. I'd rather have my old G1's speaker than this pathetic sack of cat ****. Lol
This is a sort of rant/question hybrid. Wasn't sure where to put it. Sorry.

wtf are you playing on your evo for it to blow it, you sound like the guy that wanted to do that "Class Action Lawsuit" just because he couldnt uninstall Amazon mp3 off his Evo because its "Hardwired in his Phone"
rediculous!!!!!
which speaker?

That'd be the external speaker on the back of the phone.
I've been on YouTube many times, its the spot to be. My speakers are fine!!
I have to chalk this one up as user error to happen twice so fast..I use the back speaker a lot and the only time i have issues where i think its going to blow is while useing Fring.
Mine started sounding like crap and I was really disappointed. I took off the battery cover and found pocket lint on the speaker. badabing - fixed. That speaker is small, so if anything gets on it, it will be distorted.

I agree for the most part, unless it is just completely coincidental that you had to bad speakers in the first place.
The reason I say this is because if you did a pole on here, I would guess that at least 97 - 99% of people have not had issues with the speaker.
But, some people do have bad luck when it comes to electronics, so you may have just gotten 2 defective phones. You should be able to call HTC and get it exchanged as long as it isnt more than 30 days old (or something like that)

Glad that worked for ya', sadly, it hasn't worked for me. That was the first thing I checked when it started happening. My speaker isn't slightly jacked, it sounds like a fly. Like if you try and strum a guitar that still has a pick wedged on the neck between the strings. It's -really- bad.
And as for chalking it up as a user error, you could in fact be right. As I listen to some very loud, very obnoxious music. Dead Moon, Crass, and Gray Matter seem to be what really take a toll on my speaker. If listening to loud music is a crime, I am most definitely guilty.
yah, you might be better off investing is some good headphones or a little speaker dock. I could see some Gray Matter at full blast taking a toll on the evo speaker quickly.

No, not hassle. More like mug me for 'em.
Speaker 101 (all speakers)
Distortion blows speaker, not amplitude. The trouble with that is it is hard to tell recorded distortion from speaker distortion. Add to that, even recorded distortion can fairly easily overheat the coil, resulting in a crappy sounding speaker.
I'd try for another replacement, then use only headphones... good ones.

Mrsato hit the nail on the head , if you hear distortion you should turn down to keep from hurting them.

+1 to this. Speaker dock or some good wired headphones coupled with an E5 amplifier. You will never listen to the speaker on the back again.
I'm on my second speaker and it just started crackling again so back to get a 3rd one put in!
user error? Seriously, how would that even be possible. Speakers aren't supposed to blow themselves out on a PHONE.
My rear one went out after 2 weeks too. What was i doing? Nothing, i barely use my rear speaker at all.

Headphones recommendations please

I don't want to spend a fortune on headphones, but would like something of reasonable quality and fit. I picked up some Senheiser HD408 headphones for $50 at futureshop. I have not opened them yet, but am going to see if I can get any good feedback on an alternative before opening them.
Please keep any suggestions below $100. There has to be some good 'bang for the buck' headsets out there.
Thanks!

I use a set of Motorola S10-HD bluetooth headphones and they work pretty well. Sound quality is good, they are really light and small, rechargeable and they are sweat proof so I can wear them when I workout (cause we all know how important it is to maintain ones figure). My only real complaint is that I have a huge melon head so the headband, which is a behind the head design, kinda pinches on the sides which after about an hour starts to kinda annoy. Other than that, which is more a personal design flaw than anything manufacturer related, I really like them. I think I paid like 60 bucks for them, so they are semi-reasonable.
JVC Flats. Walmart. Multiple colors. $15 or less.
Seriously, these are hands down the BEST headphones I have ever owned. The bass is BEAUTifUL...crystal clear sound, an unbelievable bargain for the sound quality you can get.
The earpieces are leatherish, cushy, and set nicely against my ears. If/when these ever break, they will be replaced with another pair.
My only negative comment about them?...they don't come in green.

i love my Aeriel 7's
Loud, crystal clear, booming bass. 50-60% volume is all my brain can handle on these (and I like it loud)
http://www.google.com/products/cata...TuqMM-yCsgKfwoCgCw&ved=0CGcQ8wIwAg#ps-sellers
Price range: 59-99$ use depending on which one ya like
This was a tough choice given all the different kinds of headphones and pricing all over the place. I decided that I wanted something 'mobile' so big, bulky headsets were not the answer. I am not fond of earbuds, but decided to give them a try since they would meet the portability needs.
I picked these up:
http://www.klipsch.com/image-s4-black-in-ear-headphones
It takes a while getting used to them fitting in your ear, but the sound is simply incredible! The only thing I don't like is that the male plug is not L shaped and the wiring feels a bit too flimsy.
Rob
I have Motorola so HD had them over a year and still like new. I think there is a HD 10 verson out
Check out the reviews and measurements at Headroom, headphone.com. Good recs at several price ranges

I will second the S4's. I have a pair of the S4I's, (used to have an iPhone) and you cannot beat the sound quality you get for the price. They are top notch, very comfortable, once you get the right fit, and I have 0 complaints on them.
The wiring is thin and feels flimsy but I have yet to have any issues with them. I've had them for maybe 10 months now. If you want to go more "rugged" they have the S5's which are the same thing only built to withstand more.
I keep going back to Sony's sub 20-dollar earbuds in the roll up case.
MDR-E828LP
Cheap as dirt, but astoundingly good sound.
Very open with excellent bass.
I keep trying "nicer" earbuds and keep coming back to these for the sound.
I have a set of Sony noise canceling ones that are excellent, they are available on Amazon.

Dre Beats!
I got a pair of the tour beats from www.booksuppliesplus.com. Love em. Best headphones I've ever had...and only $50...can't beat em.
V-Moda Bass Freq headphones. $12 shipped on eBay. They provide huge bass, great sound quality and block out a ton of outside noise. I've had a half dozen pairs since discovering them back in 07. Been the only thing I've used since then. Highly recommended!
I know you don't want to spend this much but when it comes to head phones you get what you pay for.
I bought a pair of Bose head phones 3 years ago for $130 and I use them everyday of my life during my job for about 4 hours. There super clear and have a very balanced bass but can be picked up greatly!
Just think about it. $50 now, then in a few months another because they were blown and so on or $130 for the next 4-5 years. Mine are in perfect condition and have no crakling even after the abuse I put them through.
Go to best buy or any place that has them on display and try them out, not the noise canceling ones though there $300! Also never buy headphones before you buy them.

I've had several pairs of these And I really like them. I'm surprised they still remain the best bang for the buck. I'd have figured something would have dethroned them by now.
I have a set of Audio Technica ATH-AD700's, but they do look pretty ridiculous. Good thing I'm too distracted by the awesome sound stage to care ^_^
Skullcandy Skullcrushers
If you like bass then these are for you they have in ear subwoofers I have a pair and love them I got them for around 40 on eBay... all of my buddies like them better than dress.... they don't sound leak so other people arnt bothered by your loud music the noise canceling is great I mow the lawn with them

Or you can do what I did, buy them for $20 at a garage sale. Brand new unopened package. I know, I got lucky.
Seriously though, the sound quality of these headphones is amazing. The other thing is that there is almost zero sound leaking. At full blast, people around you won't even notice.
If you want good feedback just check the amazon reviews. They're pretty damn fine

Not sure I am allowed to post link to exterior destination, but head-fi.org is a better place to ask and headphone.com is a good place for info, not buy though since they're price is high.
Right now I'm using the Sennheiser MX580 as open earbuds and Etymotic HF3 as in ear monitors, both have excellent clarity. Both of this brand hav3 many choices at diff price though. Beside Sennheiser and Etymotic, you should also look at AKG and Beyer Dynamic, they are all professional brands for audio productions.
If you want an earbud with lots of bass just get the Palm Pre headset which cost $2, better than most $20-30 ones you find at regular stores.

You cannot go wrong with Sennheiser gear - but I suggest Aerial7 gear personally. Either way you are going to get some quality equipment.

Samsung iconx 2018 headphones.

Anyone own a pair? I've had these for over a week and I absolutely love them! A few questions I have about this headset and wanted to know if anyone who owns a pair can relate.
So one thing I've noticed about these headphones is that I feel they aren't loud enough. I mean compared to my beats they definitely aren't loud enough. Is there a way to boost the volume? If so I would love to know how.
Secondly... I feel a slight disconnect connection between the headphones and phone when I turn my head. Samsung claims to have a solid connection within a 30ft range. I start loosing my connections with the case being in my front t-shirt pocket. What's the deal with this? Has anyone had the same issue? How do I get these headphones to keep a solid connection?
I have a pair and I think that they are really good. I have not had any complaints about the volume. I have used them while mowing the lawn and could hear just fine. I did change out the tips for Comply Foam tips and they provide better sound isolation. If you are using them with an S9, you can get better sound using an Adapt Sound profile with them or possibly even the Dolby Atmos (I typically don't use Atmos).
As far as range is concerned, I occasionally get break ups when moving around with my phone in my pocket, but not that frequently. I think that they are susceptible to interference. The position of the case has nothing to do with the ear buds connection to the phone, so keeping it in your shirt pocket won't make a difference.

One thing that helps with the connection is to make the exercise (master) bud the bud that is the side in which you keep your phone in your pocket (since when you turn your head it has to travel through your body which is mostly water and absorbs waves easily)

They fit in the case perfectly and don't cause any issues. They only come in med/std size though.

I really appreciate your feedback. Thank you so much for this information!

which ear buds are the best value today

I'm thinking about buying the official samsung buds but see many mixed reviews from the sound is low and the microphone quality is average at best.
I'm looking for good sound wireless charging noise Canceling and great fit and comfortable and usb c .... I was about to order earfun which cost less than 50 bucks with some good reviews .. Any good suggestions thanks
I am also looking for affordable one. I am more interested in Apple Airpods like Ear tip, not the rubber type, that hurts. Also bass is important.
You can't have airpod tip and get bass. To get bass you need isolation. Not rubber tip isolation. You will have to buy comply foam ear tips. Trust me when I say it makes a world of difference.
I got the galaxy buds with the free 150 credit for preordering.
They sound good for me and I'm hard at hearing things on the daily lol
Havnt tried talking with them, cause I didnt use buds or headphones for that matter to talk to people.
I just wish the note had an equalizer equal to when I had the S7 edge, I loved using the concert/hall reverb settings on some songs.

I have the gear iconX from 2018. While they are useful because they're small, long battery life, build quality, etc... they are not flawless.
The sound is OK but cannot compete with the included wired AKG headphones that come with note 10+. I believe that the galaxy buds are kind of same, maybe a little better with AKG technology but still these toys are small and i do not trust them for pleasing "audiophiles" kind of people.
I use the included AKG right now because they are just much better than the iconX. Only keep the iconX when i need to be free (in the garden or when running, or when walking in the street because of the ambiant sound feature etc).
If i ever look for good headphones i will probably check large ones, supra phones like Bose QC35 II which is probably one of the best wireless headsets i ever tested.

Ok that is what i thought.. not surprised...
These things are too small, price is kinda low as well for what it does. They should work on audio quality instead of features IMHO.

modern day problem, wires.. how did we reach this level surprises me...
Anker sound buds. Long battery life! 12h! Extremely long range and sound is awesome! Not completely wireless but great nonetheless
I bought a pair of Samsung Gear buds full price with the credit for $130.
3 days ago I was searching Facebook Marketplace and found a brand new pair in box sealed for $60.
Check Letgo, CL and FB Marketplace!
Galaxy buds are good compromise for me.. I've had few low price buds (30-80 dollars) and powerbeats 3.. Powerbeats were great, I used them for 2 years, then I lost them, maybe sound was very synthetic.. That low cost buds were good.. Sound quality 6/10, battery life 7/10, but connection quality was poor. But also galaxy buds are not perfect... Charge box battery is not a good, problem with right bud after few weeks of using (lower volume in right bud, louder in the left one), but) then I pissed of and went back to the store and ofc. they worked perfect, so I was looking like a idiot). But it doesn't matter you know.. Every ear buds have + and -
Jabra 75t are pretty good almost 8 hrs on a single charge use them while I'm working they are just like the 65t but redesigned
I'm seriously impressed with the Samsung Galaxy Buds. Sure there are some buds out there that will sound better and have some other unique features but these things just simply work, always work, either bud 1 at a time, great range and quality, and are comfortable. I've had about 5 other brands and these are my favorite so far.
I'm not going to lie I lovey Powerbeats pro completely wireless and the sound is great with the note however I hate having to use the iPhone charging cord
I`ve got the Hyphens as a early bird (so at good value), but they are still not too expensive. They are really great at sound, bass and wearing comfort. I wouldn`t get any other ones at the moment.

So I ordered these for $49 from Amazon great 5 star reviews and tick the right boxes Inc wireless charging and the case even doubles as a power bank.. Haven't received them yet

I am also looking for affordable one. I am more interested in Apple Airpods like Ear tip, not the rubber type, that hurts. Also bass is important.

My original Samsung bud, the left one - 3 weeks old - , died, so while out for warranty servicing, I purchased a spare wireless set from Wish. They arrived 2 days ago and I tested them... very decent quality for the price. It costed me CAD$22. The case is also a backup battery - 3,000 mAH that charges your phone if need be - it has a USB-A port. The L and R buds are pairing together and can be used alternatively, The airtime is about 4 hours, they say - I have not tested them. I ahave also noticed that Amazon has a few decent ones for under $50.
Creative Outlier Air! Outstanding!
