motorola s9 headset

[indup]

anyone tried this headset and is it any good? or would you recommend anything else?

I don't think it has been released yet, from what I've heard it will bundled with the Moto Z8 phone upon its release.

odelsteken, its already released. its currently selling 120$ usd @ ebay.


indup, i have one and currently pairing it with P990i.
yes the sound quality is awesome! maybe not very loud but im very pleased with it. it looks so cool and feels very comfortable wearing it.

highly recommended. :)

edit: the volume up&down and back&forward button are kinda like touch sensitive. theres no feedback when u press it. just touch it then you'll hear a sound.

This is one A2DP earphone I wanted to get but is not available where I live. It's an in-canal earphone, right? The SE in-canal earphones still have wires and kinda defeat the wireless concept.

marvin, yep its ear canal earphone and u wear it like a headband.
i also have the SE DS970 and ur so right sometimes they tangle when u keep em on ur pocket. >.<

it comes bundled with the E6 here in india i think (premium package)
very nice idea/formfactor btw.

xkube, interesting! :) Could you make a short review of it here? I'm looking to get a Z8 with the S9 headset...

is the mic really that bad?

[xkube]

odelsteken, i will try. im feeling lazy right now lol its my dayoff finally. :D
sshock2, I've experience the muffled sound when calling someone but that because i was testing it on my home phone right beside me. lol.
i also experience skipping 2-3 times the other days but i dont blame the S9 i think its my P990i because that happen as well on DS970.

Not a flaterring review I must say.

xkube, how does it sound compared to the DS970?

[iqtidar]

the review is available in this website...

I've read that too, but I find the review just as mixed. I can't relate to what "good sound quality" is until I hear it myself. But just like any other A2DP earphones, it seems it still has a long way to go to really match what a good wired earphone delivers. The review here acknowledges that as well. I have both the Motorola HT820 and the Nokia BH501 and about a dozen mid-priced wired earphones to say that A2DP phones, while decent, fall short of a good wired set for the price. I thought earlier that the wireless convenience can redeem their merely decent sound quality. But I soon found myself buying and preferring wired earphones. I hope the next generation A2DP earphones can be better and cheaper.

And the 4-hour battery life is not encouraging. Both the BH501 and the HT820 can last 12 hours continuous on my E6 so long trips on A2DP phones is not a problem. The E6 lasts shorter at 5 hours so I carry a spare battery for it. I can't do that for an A2DP headset, can I? Its 4 hour life would render my spare battery for the E6 useless unless I shift to wired earphones.

marvin from my experience. the sound is much richer compared to ds970. also equaliser is present on bluetooth and makes so much diffirence unlike at DS970 it stays the same.

bad side is the muffled sound when calling someone at the other end.

[marvin]

Thanks xkube, I really look forward to getting one once it becomes available where I am. :D

£35 from play.

Attractive proporsiton coming up to christmas.

[clonmult]

Thats a pretty good price, I may be tempted to buy another.

First TWO (!) I had experienced exactly the same failures - play/fwd/rwd buttons stopped working completely.

As for the sound quality - music via the N73 was absolutely fantastic. Voice quality (from both ends) was also surprisingly good.

[nayeem_mmc]

It has one of the best sound quality.
I think Moto used DSP in this.
What do u think?
