I just feel not enough praise for CDLA earphone from LeTV.
The pro:-
a) very fast
b) high fidelity
c) every music is alive
d) it is lighted
Con:-
Non actually.
The sound is salivating for person like me who own Sennheiser HD580, Phillips Fidelio X1, Audio Technica ATH50.

I own them, too, and feel they stand up quite well to some studio grade headphones I also own, Sony MDR 7506's...

Yeah, really really good. I am shocked actually.
I loved the sound quality, just a shame that they were so flimsy and weak, and that they were even worse for falling out of my ears than iPhone ones.

Unless you move around too much, I don't think they fall out too much. It's surprisingly comfortable.
Maybe you use it for sport and you kinda harsh towards it.

LOL me, sports... nah. I didn't treat them badly at all. Didn't even use them that much. Think the falling out thing just depends on the size and shape of your ear holes. They didn't suit my ears I guess, and they are just hard, smooth plastic with no rubber part for an added friction seal so unless they are a good fit they fall out. The cables are just plain thin, and weak at both ends (near the buds and near the usb jack).
Think LeEco's quality is (was, RIP zombieco LeEco) hit and miss for sure. My first headphone adapter suffered cable failure too, but the second one I got has been fine. My USB charging brick died, but the USB C Cable that came with it is still perfect.

You're right. I guess there's no QC.
My cable is dead also.
For the headphone, if there rubber, probably it will hurt. I guess my ear hole is smaller. Lol

Heard that the speakers was alot better on the Universal then it is on the Wizard? Can anyone confirm that the speakers _are_ better on the Universal thanks.
reply
DUDE -
i donno who told u that !
although i have no comparison to other - the HTC universal speakers are WEAK !
i had to amplify all mp3's i wanted as tones by 20-30% (volume) so ill hear them.
and quality isnt great..
Oh that sucks
hmm..that strange..I dun see any issue on soft speaker on my universal. The ringtone is loud and so thus the MP3.
I have both and find both speakers fine. Either the headphone output is better on the wizard or the headphones themselves because the sound it a lot better through headphones on the wizard.
What really annoys me with those little headphones though is that they dont go into your ear properly. Push them in with your fingers and the bass is really good. Then when you let go your back to tinny sound again.
Thought headphones would have moved on by now. Where are our microbe implants that are equiv to having some 400w technics strapped to your head.
I have to agree with the others, my EXEC's speakers are loud if turned to full blast. I can hear my MP3s playing from the other room with my door closed.

You can get headphones that do just that, from Sony, Shure and Etymotic, but to get that bass response they have to seal the ear with rubber rings. Cost aside, that raises serious safety issues for general use because it isolates you from external sounds. So they can be dangerous wearing them outside, as you won't hear the cry of "Look Out!" or that speeding truck hurtling towards you.
That said, I have some Shure e3cs, and they are stunning. What's more they're better for my hearing long term because I can keep the volume levels right down and still hear the finest detail in the music. I just have to be _very_ careful when crossing the road...

Get an adapter then you can use any headphones you like.
Maplin and Expansys do these:-
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=108470
But I prefer not to use the "one piece" moulded adapters as they put too much stress on the XDA socket. So I use one like this:-
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5852006398
(you get one like this with the £99 Orange C550 Music pack)
Downside is you have to unplug the headphones to talk, but I note you can now get them with a microphone (but AFAIK no talk button):-
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5851815612
Or you could get one that allows you to use your audio headphones and a headset together:-
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=119236
Another alternative, if you're handy with a soldering iron, is to take a spare HTC headset, dismantle the dongle that houses the talk button, disconnect the crappy headphones, and solder in your new ones, or, to be more versatile, the 3.5mm wired socket from one of the cheap adapters.
http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=523654&page=1&pp=30
Or buy it ready made, but with retractable cord, here:-
http://www.seidio-europe.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=230
(Note: Seidio's web page indicates the PTT and Mic wiring is the same for the XDA and the Treo, but I haven't tried it, so YMMV etc).
Can anyone reccomend a good cable or are they all basically the same. I have seem some on ebay. I just wanted some advice if anyone knows better.
Thank you.
This one is small and compact;

I got this one: http://www.pdashop.nl/product/41080/45045/3327/veripart-standard-headset-converter-htc-extusb.html dunno where to get that outside of Netherlands but they gotta have it somewhere...
I aspecially like the very short plug and the very flexible short wire; there 's hardly no chance of breaking this because off too much strain on the plug
The best one I have is the one I made by taking a TyTN's headset with nice angle connector, chopping it off and modifying it as per Matt and Tracy's Blog;

I can second this one; Got it originally for my Hermes and it also fits the Kaiser. It's compact, has 3.5mm jack AND Mini USB connector.
I like this one
http://www.mobilecityonline.com/wireless/store/productdetail.asp?productid=22740
The right angle the cable takes easies my fears of straining the miniUSB port and weaking/loosening the contacts. I don't like the longer, straight-out USB connections on other headphone adapters. Although RemE's Semsons combo miniUSB/3.5mm adapter is pretty cool. I probably would have gotten that if I had known about it earlier.
Here's another, in-stock and cheaper;

sweet, bought, thanks!
For UK users, I found a right angle one at expansys
Bah, they are out of stock, anyone know where to get a right-angle one in the UK now?
I did find a non-right angle one for 1p though
right angle with a stereo plug/jack make sense ... because when you turn/twist ... the round plug would rotate ... less stress ..etc
but with a mimiUSB/extUSB ... IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE AT ALL !
when you turn/twist ... that rectangular connection would just twist/turn ... the damage would be the same whether it is right angled or not ..

Except a right angled plug takes stress off the plug because it moves tword your head, as opposed to straight, unless you have the kaiser upside down. If its sideways in the holster, instead of pointing out it points up
I prefer the angle for watching video in landscape mode, the cord goes straight down.
I think it also has less damaging "leverage" on the connector of the phone, I'm less worried about twisting, it's bending I worry about, simply my opinion.
Hi,
What is the audio quality like when connecting one of the above mini usb converters? does it noticeably degrade in any way?

This is just wire, no active circuitry, there is no effect on sound.

Technically there has to be an effect on the sound as you have just introduced a connector which has impedance . Whether you can hear the difference is another matter. If the connector is a really, really cheap one then you may be able to hear.
Yah, whatever. Technically the "impedance" of a 1-6 inch piece of wire ain't much, far less than fraction of an ohm which is mouse nuts compared to the impedance of the ear buds speakers, so I'll go with "makes no difference". Quibble away...
Im still partial to the Semsons one since ti would still aloow the phone to be charged simultaneously (like if I was on a long plane ride).
nice, thanks!

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.
These things are incredible.
Used TIDAL Hi-Fi and on the EQ, turned up the 32hz lowest bass level all the way up. Incredible.
Much lighter than the beats that came with my HTC M7, but I haven't compared sound yet.
For me personally I don't like them at all I got used to using Bluetooth headphones and haven't been back since I'm not very happy with the included headphones so I went out and bought a Bluetooth Beats Solo 3 set and like those a lot. I got the over-the-ear kind .
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S8+
In my opinion they are way better than any beats headphones ive tried (Thats not saying much) I like them! But if it would have meant that the phone was 100 cheaper (or even 30$) if they didnt include them, that would have been nice.
Beats???seriously??

Very awkward shape and I don't like that they suction your ears so you literally can't hear anything outside.
they're good for bundled headphones. they sound comparable to $40-50 earbuds, definitely not the $99 that samsung claims they're worth.
They're better than I expected, but my $100 SE215s still blow them out of the water, so I wouldn't really call them anything near high end.

That's kinda the point with silicon-tipped bud-style headphones... And the shape is meant to fit perfectly to your ear, it definitely feels like a good fit to me.

I still like Samsung's headphones from last year where it fit well but you could at least hear some of the outside world. Apple's earpods are decent too.
To me it's more about comfort and usability than quality. I have VMODA M100's for quality.
They are verry good. Plugged them into my pc...nice sound and loud. Verry dissapointed when im using yhem on my s8... Samsung did a poor job this year with the amplifier on this phone. Low bass...low volume. Htc M One and M8 are still the best phones for ppl that enjoy music on the go.
Coming from the Apple earpods, the AKG are just amazing.
The sound is better and the isolation is a killer compared to the earpods.
After personalizing the audio with Adapt Sound, and increasing the bass in the EQ, these headphones sound amazing.
I was pleasantly surprised by the AKG headphones. I've always been overly-attached to my BassBuds, but I could easily see myself using the AKG ones instead...especially as my kids love the BassBuds too and keep nicking off with them.
The sound isn't too bad, and I like the grey colour scheme. I find them a bit heavy on the bass right out of the box, but that works well when trying to ignore children. My only complaint would be that I don't find they sit in my ears very well. It is the main reason I love my BassBuds, they are comfortable and never fall out. I am doing a test run with the AKG headphones over the next week or so to see if they fall out.
Really uncomfortable for me. Even with larger tips, the bulky outside part is too close and actually hurts my ear. And sound was pretty meh. I am using Sennheiser Momentum earbuds at the moment. I have different set of issues with them (eartips fall out if you as much as look funny at them), but sound and comfort are great.
it is better than earphones came with previous Samsung phones, iPhone stock earphone, but you would get much better below 20 bucks earphone from Aliexrepss, especially Rock Zircon which is 12 bucks only.

it's quite the opposite for me.
they have a very weak sound for me because even with the largest size cover they don't seal properly.
i can get them to seal properly by wearing them upside down, but that starts to hurt after a while.
it's a shame they stopped with the regular earbuds with a "mouth"
they could get full sound without requiring a perfect seal and without putting pressure on my ears.

Hello everybody.
I have a problem that causes me to twist and push my headphone plug a bit to get it into the jack. If I look inside the port I can see the something that looks like grey rubber (probably the one to keep the water out) sticks out a bit and this causes some resistance. Could somebody check if this is like that by design?
In addition the charging cable wiggles a bit inside the port if move it. Does this also happen to you?
Please could somebody just plug their AKG headphones in an tell me if you feel a little bit of resistance compared to other headphone jacks or not?

So, would you say it feels like the port grazes a bit a rubbery surface when it slides and it does not click that much compared to normal jacks?
