Ok folks, so I've had my S9-HDs for a about 1.5 wks now. For a point of reference I had the old S9s for about 1.5 yrs (went thru 4 pairs due to sweat issue).

So S9-HDs, they come with a new ear insert, they have a rubber "ring" around them. They come with two sets of those (mine appear to be identical size, was thinking one would be bigger than the other) and the old S9 inserts.

I have resorted to the old standard S9 type inserts. The buttons on the S9-HD are elevated or "bubbled" I believe this was directly due to the sweat issue with the old S9s. I'm guessing the moisture created the old S9 buttons to short out where as with the elevated/bubbled buttons on the new S9-HDs the buttons are not as flush meaning the water/sweat won't ruin the connectivity within the buttons (just my assumption)

I honestly liked the sound better in my old S9s...not impressed with the SRS WOW. I end up turning it off half the time, almost too much bass with not enough mid range or treble.

Only ended up using the bluetooth call capabilities for about 1 min with the wife calling me while at the gym. I have had a couple hard workouts with a lot of sweat and no issues with the buttons.

Hope this helps a bit, if you have any direct questions let me know and Ill try to test and respond for you.
[General Accessories] Wam7:
Is there more than one setting for the SRS WOW? Which is probably why I prefer to have the SRS installed on the device and I can adjust the sound etc.

Really interested in how good they are for voice, especially for people listening in environments with a fair bit of ambient noise.

I don't think anything can rival the Jawbone 2's but would be nice to know if this is now nearer to an all in one solution.
[General Accessories] jank0023:
Will test on more voice calls...I have these for working out and golfing (Driving range). I use my jawbone when I use voice, except when I get calls while using the S9s.

As for the SRS it is either on or off...no variation or inbetween setting. I'm using it with the HTC Fuze which unfortunately the graphic equalizer only works with wired headphones the settings don't work with the S9s.
[General Accessories] RojasTKD:
Still no S9-HD's... They should arrive by Monday, I hope.

I did go for my first Run with the S9's (a short 1 mile, it's been several month scene I've dome any running). The worked just fine. A couple of drop outs but very minor. I was very happy with them, and my controls still work. It was also a cool night and a short run so I didn't sweat like usual (LOTS).

I do worry about the "sweat and controls" issue. Trying to think of somethink that might help safeguard against this. I've thought about applying a small amount of silicone around the edges of the controls. Or perhaps some kind of coating to make it more sweat/water resistant. we'll see, anybe I should just not use there for excersize and keep the S9-HD for that.
[General Accessories] RojasTKD:
OK have had my S9-HD for about 2 weeks or so now. Here are a few thoughts:

Voice calls:

Seems a little better than the S9's, but I would not use it as my only BT headset. The do a little better with background noise, but it can still be an issue. You'll want a good BT headset for dedicated voice calls. I called my voice mail with the radio on and with the S9's the radio overwhelmed my voice making my voice incomprehensible. With the S9-HD the radio made it difficult to hear me, but you could make out mu voice and get what I was saying. So it seem to be a bit of an improvement. Oh and the S9-HD give you stereo audio in phone calls now witch is a nice bonus. ;)

Music:

They sound good, but I like the audio from my S9 better. I Think it sounds more detailed. It a subtle difference and might just be me, but I lean toward the S9 as far as my preferred unit for music listening. They both sound very good with my Tilt, in fact It they sound better with my Tilt than the new Samsung P2 MP3 play I bought for these. I should of just stuck with my Tilt for music.

Buttons:

As mentioned the S9-Hd's new buttons are raised. Personally I don't like them as much as the older S9's buttons. With the S9 you could feel the "hump" and go up or down to get to the function you want. With the New three "hump" design you have to feel around to make see witch hump you on (center? top? bottom?) before you can get to the function you want.

Now the main reason for me gettin the HD's is for their improved sweat resistance (wtch may be one reason the the three hump design). Don't know it there actually better. So far no problems with either, but will use the new one for running and the old one for non-physical activities.

If you plan on getting sweaty while using these or want a little more usable call function the S9-HD are a good option, if not stick with the S9 and save some cash.

I almost forgot. I love using the the S9/S9-HD with my slingbox. It really mke it much more enjoyable. It also works with Skype, though you do have some cut outs but no more than normal.
[General Accessories] DrunkenOstrich:
My review

I purchased the S9-HD's and have been playing with them for about a week now. I am using them with an HTC Fuze. I find that they pair easily, and work very well with the integrated music player in TouchFlo3D. However, they don't work as well with Windows Media Player Mobile, often when I hit the pause button, it starts playing the TouchFlo3D player instead of pausing Media Player, like it's given precedence to that app in the system.

I have always had a problem with the type of headphones that are springy/stiff plastic which hold them clamped onto your head, as they make my ears sore and painful after about 20-30 mins. I find that these phones also do this to me.

I like them, the overall quality is nice, sound quality is decent for BT (although not great) and they stay in better than earbuds. However, even with the smallest rubber earbud covers on them, they make the inside of my ear hurt from the pressure, both the inward pressure from the whole unit pressing in on my head from each side, and also the outward pressure of the earbud inside my ear, pressing out on my inner ear.

I find that I can wear them reasonably comfortably for around 20-30 mins and then I have to take a break. I think I just have a small ear opening because when wearing earplugs (motorcycling) I always have to go with the small soft kind, the "standard" yellow cylinder ones are painful to me.

But, they stay on great, something I hate about earbuds which always fall out. I think I might try the "dog tag" Jabra's as a second set, and sell the other. I really want to get rid of all cords, but the S9's are not the 100% solution for me.

If the darn Fuze had a 3.5mm jack none of this would be an issue! The giant adapter dongle they include is simply not acceptable, it's literally the length again of the whole phone!
[General Accessories] Kraize:
Why don't you buy a little adapter? Check amazon.

headphones

is the SRS-wow already on when the unit is powered on?

i can't tell any difference between the two settings so i'm assuming its on when i power up.

i've had mine for a week...LOVE IT! can't compare it to anything else though. i'm trying to figure out if i like the bigger earbuds compared to the smaller ones they gave. both are a bit annoying after wearing for more than an hour but i read somwhere that one of them give better sound....again, not sure about differences....not really an audiophile.
[General Accessories] mlalahoi:
So anyone had any issues with the buttons shorting out on these? I really want a pair but I sweat a lot and am afraid of all the things I read about the older s9's and people going through a set practically once a month....any feedback much appreciated!!
[General Accessories] pr75:
Yes, problems!

Ok, maybe that's just my luck. I have had the Motorola S9 HD for 36 days now and love them. Tonight - the 36th day - the "Volume UP" button stopped functioning. I do 1 hour cardio everyday, lift a little. I sweat moderately and the headset is used everyday. So just beware that these headphones are not sweat proof. I'll call Motorola tomorrow and try to get a replacement.
[General Accessories] kareeem:
I ordered a replacement for mine hoping that i'd get the HDs trhough warranty but they came in today and that wasn't the case. Something did capture my attention however; when you open up the charging part, the sticker on my new replacements say "SYN1902B" and my old ones says "SYN1902A." The date is also different on the two.

Can anybody with an HD see what there's is? Anybody know what the difference is between these two "models?"
[General Accessories] Rishi_Tank:
has anyone tried using the motorola s9 hd on the htc touch hd? if so does it work flawlessly (music and phone controls) and is the sound of good quality? thanx.
[General Accessories] nivepl:

Do you know where I can get this headset in UK? There is not even one on eBay! I don't want to buy it in the US. Any suggestions much appreciated!

s9

hope i am not offtopic:

i have the s9 (not hd):

-indoor works beautifull,instant pairing,very good sound

-cannot be used outdoor,biking or walking

- i dissasemble trying to see if i can sold an antenna for better reception,no luck,i give up and use them only for skype( and do the job)
[General Accessories] DrunkenOstrich:
I noticed the same thing, they don't work very well outdoors. Why is that? If I'm biking it cuts in and out.

I also notice that when I walk through a parking lot they cut out really bad. Is it interference from cars that have bluetooth? I'd assume when the cars are off, that the BT wouldn't be active. Or is it something else, like the alarm systems?
[General Accessories] stpete111:
Yes, I owned them for about 3 days and returned them. My main complaint is sound quality. No bass response at all. The bass response of the S9-HD's completely put the Jaybird's to shame. The other thing is BT range. If my phone moved more than 3 feet from them, they would cut out.

They fit nicely, but that's their only plus.

Alright, don't rip me a new one for this question but just want some comments if its possible.

Can the s9-HD headphones be taken into a dry sauna with a mogul?

or can just headphones?

I'm not asking bc i want to take yours in there, i just want to take MINE....i was asking in general what people thought.
[General Accessories] kareeem:
I'll be getting my HDs on Monday so i'll throw in my review then :)
[General Accessories] kareeem:
Got mine today and just got a chance to try them out and i think they're fabulous. The color is much more professional and i really like the glossy finish. The bubbled buttons are a nice change, however i liked the older style more (just easier).

Now for the sound quailtiy--they sound great (althought you can get the same sound using the regular S9s and SRS WOW HD). Not sure how many of you know this, but you have the option to actually activate and deactivate the HD sound by pressing and holding the next track button so for those who didn't really feel the "HDness," maybe you didn't have it on. Overall, I am very pleased with them. Don't really know what else you can add on to the device or what Motorola has planned next, but i think they've got a winning device here. I'll further test the headphones tomorrow in school where i can experience the stereo calling and other things.
[General Accessories] rangness:
how much are they selling for these days? I really can't tell the difference between SRS mode and regular. when you turn the device on, is it always in SRS mode?

what about if you turn srs off, turn off headphones, and then turn on next time....what mode is it on? this what i'm talking about, i am having such a hard time distinguishing modes that i don't know what mode i'm in! haha. guess it doesn't matter if i'm not that great of an audiophile.d

Motorola s9 hd

I have been using it for the last 3 days and I'm very happy with them, the sound quality is great and the functionality. I used them to work out and they

are amazing. By the way I used them with the Touch-Pro Juicy_7_090429H.
[General Accessories] kareeem:
Around $70+ which is relatively cheap compared to when the regular S9s first same out ($120+). I'm pretty sure you have to turn on the SRS mode and i can tell the difference between the two.
[General Accessories] kareeem:
The HD's should be fine since they're water resistant, but i'm not sure about the Mogul. Anyhow, i wouldn't take the risk for either device.
[General Accessories] joecruz:
waterproof?

Hi, can you really confirm that it's water resistant? I mean I'm a regular gym goer and on the regular s9s, during the first few times, it was working great, nothing wrong. But you see I sweat a lot (duh..i'm working out) but after a few times of using it and sweating, the volume started to fluctuate by itself, i mean it would go from highest to mute without me touching anything...the other buttons would stop functioning as well...I am aware now that the regular s9s are not waterproof but the s9HD are advertised to be waterproof but i wanted to make sure that they are as i dont want them to end up in the bin like the other s9s....I've also read comments/reviews from the internet that it's not really waterproof and after a few times of usage with sweat, it would also malfunction like I described
[General Accessories] RojasTKD:
I started to have similar issues. They work great for a long time but now I can't use them. My S9-HD volume went down so low I cant heat then and the volume up button isn't responding. My regular S9's randonly skips back through songs and button functions often don't respond.

For a long while I loved them for working out and running. Now, I'm looking for something different as I don't want to keep using my very expensive Shure SE530's for running.
[General Accessories] DrunkenOstrich:
I have had the S9-HD's for about 9 months now. I do use them on an almost daily basis, including while working out.

Recently, the glue that holds the rubber covers on the power button and the USB flap has started dissolving, likely from sweat, and the rubber is peeling back. You can see that there is a plastic membrane between that and the actual electronics, kind of like plastic kitchen wrap.

So far I haven't had any issues with it causing any electronic weirdness or glitches on the headphones though, they work fine even when I'm sweating on them.

So I say they're a big improvement, and maybe the rubber starts peeling back after a while but they still work fine. Just plan on getting a new pair every year or so if you are a really heavy user of them like me.
[General Accessories] kareeem:
That happened with my S9s (it got really extreme) and with the last S9-HDs i had.

My Media Buttons aren't working

Hi all.

I have been trying pairing, unpairing, turning the phone off/on, turning the headset on/off, trying different music players, downloading the "headset button fix" from the store, and nothing seems to be working.

I can hear the music fine, and I can control the volume, but none of the other buttons (play, FF, RW) are working. Not in the stock app or any other music apps.

Any ideas what could cause this? I'm using an HTC Hero with the Motorola S9HD headphones.

Help would be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks
[General Accessories] kareeem:
Have you paired the headphones with another BT-enabled device to isolate the issue and know for sure it's not the headphones?

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morphexxx:
Hi there.

I have a standard, non-rooted phone which started to reboot last week. I can sometimes get as far as opening for example the SMS app before the phone hangs and eventually reboots.

The repair guy contact talked about some reinstallation being necessary and that they would charge for it.

Is this something I can do myself and can I do it from Linux? No risky, warranty-voiding stuff..

Thanks,

Morten
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milindchitale:
repair software

A good starting point would be to use the official Xperia update app.

1) Download the installation from their website, download all drivers for the phone

2) install both software and drivers on pc.

3) while phone is still not hung, enable debugging in developers options in settings ( to get these u need to hit the Build number info under: "Settings- About phone-Build Number" several times and it will enable Developer Options)

4) Connect your phone to the pc, and start the Xperia software

5) back up your apps, and data, images videos etc

6) look for software update / Repair

7) Let the application do Repair.

follow the instructions on screen and your phone software should be ok after the phone restarts.

then restore the back ups to phone.

Hope this helps.

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] setspeed:
I'm having an issue with file transfer where my computer can't 'see' the phone when an AOSP ROM is installed.

File transfer is fine when mounting in recovery, also when I have OOS installed, so it isn't a hardware problem.

I've gone through the forum searching for a solution, and I have:

Changed the default USB configuration (under Developer options) to MTP

Uninstalled the phone from Device Manager on my computer

Tried installing OnePlus drivers to my computer

Tried installing Qualcomm drivers to my computer

Can anyone suggest a solution? I'm desperate to get this sorted as I can't tolerate OOS any longer, I just want a cleanish build of Android with no OnePlus rubbish in it!

I join your quest man... Im looking for the solution for this problem since i have installed my first AOSP rom on OP5... Never find the solution, i'm curious for this too... Now im on PureFusion and MTP of course isnt working... so i use recovery for file transfer (which is annoying) or the WiFi server (which is slow and isnt "operations" friendly)

In the same time cant understand why my nexus 6p with PureNexus is fully working in MTP but the oneplus 5 nope :confused:

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] kidronvalley:
I had same issue in Linux

Typically, issue is not the ROM

1) check the phone get set to "file transfer" when connected, you generally have option to chose

2) plugging to a usb in chain to other switches it was not work, connected directly to a usb MB port, worked.
