Motorola S9 + S9-HD

tvos · Jan 5, 2009

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.

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.

tvos · Jan 5, 2009

what is the difference, that is what i am asking...!

do you really hear the difference between the two bluetooth headsets?

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

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!

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..

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

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.

tvos · Jan 22, 2009

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.

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.
