Hi..
I'd like to here some comments about Trinity users who use the Motorola S9 headphone. I really liked its design, seems light and usable..
Any problems while using it with the Trinity for normal phone calls and music listening?
Do you recommend it ?
Thanks
Re Motorola S9
I love it ! Excellent Audio.
However will only last for 7-10 days. i bought 2 already. I had to return the first after 7 days of use. the second unit i sent for repair.
I think it gets an electric short if u use for work out !!
u can get it for $59 from certain vendors on the internet.
i recommend to wait until they fix the bugs on this device.
Thanks..
Actually i won't be using it for workout at all. my uses will be:
1) using it as a headset for my notebook PC.
2) using it for making calls while driving
3) rarely for listening to mp3s on my trinity
for this, u can see quality of sound isn't the most important issue for me. all i need is a LIGHT (most important thing), comfortable, reliable and easy to use product.
Do you think this product is suitable for my needs?
Thanks, and would love to hear other opinions.
Although I don't have a Trinity (but E-ten X500+) I must say that this device is lovely to use. I had no problem using it on a daily basis, even when I was running (sweating like a pig). IMHO a really good device, and I sure recommend it...
Good luck!
not good for phone use
i would warn that this isn't to be used for phone use the quality of the mic is too bad. Otherwise it is good to listed to BT stereo audio.
I agree with other posters, it works pretty well for listening to music, but I wouldn't use it for making many calls, particularly if you're outside or exposed to any environment noise. The other person on your call will not be able to hear you that well.

Is it really that bad for making calls?? I won't be using it that much for this purpose, but sometimes it would be nice to make calls, like when driving or waking and not having to keep the device in your hand.
Can it also be used for making calls through Skype on a normal PC for examples??
Edit to my previous post - my S9 crapped out today, no idea why it's gone bad. Guess Motorola has some quality control issues. Too bad, the functionality was good, guess the build quality sucks.
Call quality
Yes, it really is terrible for making calls. I tried a number of times and the people at the other end just couldn't hear me at all. I tried calling my own voicemail and listening to the message. On all messages I just hear static. Very bad I'm afraid. I could be doing something wrong but I would expect never to make calls. I don't.
I have two of these S9 headset. First of all, there are a lot of fake/clone units out there so make sure you have the authentic one with the Motorola hologram sticker on the headset. Listening to music and audio is great but during phone calls, only the left side is for listening. The right side is the location of the mike...hence poor pickup by the listener on the other side of the phone. Otherwise a decent headset that is very low profile and unnoticeable by most people, (especially when you are wearing a hat).
thanks guys for the feedback im going to get my s9 next week...i hope it will work fine...thanks again

Any alternative to this headset guys??? I've been reading lots of negative reviews also on this forum:

Thanks
Has anybody tried anything similar to this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/CAR-FM-TRANSMIT...ryZ20336QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
I would love to hear how the quality is on these. How is the quality for both parties when using this during a call? Is it generally pretty easy to find a frequency that will have good reception for this?
Any reviews of this product or similar products would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
Well that looks interesting.. however look at the range you have to be for it to be clear and pick up your voice. 30 to 60 cm? Basically a foot to 2 feet.... actually I guess that isnt that bad I just would hate to have my face pressed up to the phone on the dash as I try and drive. Although I suppose that is still safer then having to bring the phone to your face and hold it there!
I use this http://cgi.ebay.com/Bluetooth-Hands...ryZ86537QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Which works fairly well however when there is no sound going on on the phone... ie no music or a phone call there is an annoying high pitched humm that comes through. I dont know if thats the phone or the unit itself. I think the unit though.
Junk!!
I have this exact model off of ebay. It's crap, don't buy it. It has a lot of static and is hard for the other party to hear you. It interferes with your radio no matter what frequency it is on. Don't buy this if you haven't already.

Thanks for the quick reply. I have been thinking about going ahead and getting it all afternoon, but I decided to have patience and wait to see if anybody else replied. Glad I waited.
Anybody know of another relatively cheap alternative that they would recommend?
I agree It's a crap, I have this model too. And it has a lot of static and only work on battery
As far as receiving your mp3's on your radio, it's okay. Mine doesn't have any static there. Never tried using it for making phonecalls. The range is about half a meter. But as medicor said: it runs only on the batteries. So you can't charge and transmit at the same time. Plus in my case it won't fit into my brodit :s
Hello everyone,
I found this headset Bayerdynamic MMX 101 iE accidentally just a while ago.
If anyone has tried it, can you please write your review here?
Edit: Is the sound quality good? Microphone quality? Compatibily with Desire?
http://europe.beyerdynamic.com/shop/hah/headphones-and-headsets/sports-and-on-the-way/mmx-101.html
This has caught my eyes since a few day ago but I can not find any reviews at all.
So, any words for this headset will be very appriciated since I need one right now.
Edit: Sorry misstyping by Beyerdynamic , it should be Bayerdynamic
you couldn't find more expensive ones, could you?

Well...€99 still belongs to the middle class..there are still more with more expensive.
I think the price range between €70-€100 is the correct range for me, more than €100 is a bit too expensive.
Remember you get what you pay.
That type is competely new and there is still no real review available...perhaps I just have to wait for some time until the review is there.
more expensive

I have found several good ones above €100 but I am not planning to go that high.
It was launched during the musikmesse/music fair just a while ago so..it's kinda new and still without any convincing review.
I will have to wait until there are more review.
Hi Im fairly new to these forums but i can tell you that you cant go wrong with these. I bought these about a week ago and have been nothing short of stunned by the quality. They have great bass and really crisp clear midrange. I would say that these are better than the sennheisers and klipschs s2i that i have.
One thing to note is that make you play around with the earbuds as if you get them wrong they sound really flat and dull so make sure you get them to seal in your ears properly.
It is also a coincidence, yesterday I met some in train on the way home after work.
I asked if I can use it for a couple of minutes in the train, and he said yes.
My review within a few minutes:
1. sound quality is incredible for the price.
2. mic is also good.
3. unfortunately, no volume control or whatsoever except a button to pick up and hang up the call. (not really a big problem, not really in need of a mic and pick up button anyway).
4. metal housing for the ear pieces is awesome.
5. the cable looks extremely fragile to me. it is thin, not braided, etc.
(I am not sure of getting this headset because of this. This is the biggest downside. My current in-ear headphone (Klipsch Image S3) has just given up or lost its life just last night, the cable got broken again. The warranty is still there, but I don't want to claim it for the third time. I just prefer a new one instead of waiting weeks for claiming. It must be something wrong with how I store the headphone in my bag ).
6. Ear plug/bud don't fit my ears perfectly, I have tried on the one attached tho'. (It could be another problem)
I also found Philips SHO9560 (O'Neal stretch). It looks super robust but doesn't have good sound relatively compared to mmx-101i. Its look is also very appealing.
Now, I'm confused.
Way too expensive for me.
For the same price (or cheaper) I would get headphones/earphones from already proven company: Sennheiser.
Update:
Phillips SHO9560 sounds teribble.
MMX101ie doesn't really fit my ear...it comes off often (unless I get the individual package, but it is too expensive)...I don't wanna get an in-ear anymore...getting something which fits my ear is just a matter of luck...
No AKG products fits my huge head size (honest), I like the sound of AKG K518 but it is too small for my head, tried also 430, 420, 520, etc....
This is official! I hate AKG! This company never thinks of people with huge head like me! It is discrimination!
Sony XD300, XD500...sounds dark (bass too strong, trebble not clear)
Dr. Dre Solo HD is too expensive for the quality I am getting.
I will look for some more...Sennheiser, Denon, Bose, etc....
What I hate is that Desire can not really pull Sennheiser PXC450 (I own one at home and I use it mostly during flights or at home)....volume gets too low even on max.
Sh*t it is not easy to find the correct one!
Late response!
I just found this thread after looking into the MMX101 iEs myself - what was your solution in the end? I really like these headphones and fortunately they fit my ears; unfortunately though, the mic and answer button did not work, so I'm having to send them back. Hopefully the replacements will work fine!
Did you settle on over-ear headphones in the end? Given your situation I would have recommended the Sony MDR-V500 - great headphones, excellent range, solid bass response which is punchy but doesn't overwhelm the mid-range, and amazingly cheap considering!
Hope you managed to get this sorted anyway.
I've got these. Nothing short of awesome. The sound quality at all levels is incredibly crisp and you don't use any equaliser settings/tweaks as the ear phones sort all that out for you. Had mine for two years now and need a new set and will definitely buy the same ones again.
Also get 3 pairs of different size buds depending on what suits your ear best.
Someone can confirm the microphone and remote of Beyerdynamic MMX-101 works with android?
Thanks

That does not depend on OS (Android, iOS, Windows). The "problem" is different layout of rings on the 3.5mm connector with different phone manufacturers ("microphone" and "ground" rings are swapped). It's natively compatible with iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Blackberry and HTC. If you want them to work correctly with Nokia, Sony, Samsung, Motorola, LG and other models you have to buy a separate adaptor.
I bought V-Moda M100 in the end.
It is expensive but worth every single penny I spent

I've searched every store I can think of, scoured the forums, and I still have found nothing close to what I want. Please help me out!
I'm looking for a pair of earbuds with a mic, compatible with the i9000. I cant wear the inner-ear type... so I'm looking for the older kind with the foam pads, and I'm looking for something high in quality.
TLDR:
-Want earbuds with mic.
-Galaxy S.
-Not inner-ear, but foam pads.
-High quality.
Anything?
I'm gonna bump this (Sorry to be useless) but I am exactly in the same boat. Someone nicked my SGS stock ones and now I am coming to replacing them, I realised, I don't want In-Ears. I'm open to buds or over ears though in my case. Quality is a must
Can't use the inner ear ones, HATE THEM!
Try these http://goo.gl/OfOhY
I hate in-ears too, but I've used these for years, great sound and really comfortable, don't let the price fool you...
They look nice DMD9, but they don't have a microphone...
We're looking for a replacement for stock ones.
You might want to change the title of the thread to wired headset so
Have you checked out Urban Ears range? http://www.urbanears.com/headphones
Tested a pair of their Plattan's last week, not bad sound for music and I was able to make a call with them, (though the sound was extremely low), might be worth following up on...
Those Urbanears one's seem nice. How certain are you that having those mic compatible headset would work with our phones? I tried bose ones the other day and they didn't work properly
They definitely worked, but as I said, the call volume was extremely low, both for me and the person I was calling. I was using a demo pair in the shop so it's possible they were damaged in some way, but I'd recommend researching or trying them yourself first, just to make sure.
Hello people...
Just thought I'd share.
I bought a pair of Sandstrom bluetooth headphones today from PC World. They were only £30, so I figured that wasn't much of a punt.
I already have a good pair of wired headphones, but constantly opening the flap on the phone annoys me - and is an avenue for dust to enter the chassis.
Anyway... I wasn't expecting much, but I have to say I'm impressed! - The sound quality isn't quite as good as my wired set, but I'm more than happy with the sound for listening to music while out and about (which is when I'm more concerned having the flap open in my pocket).
They also have a built in mic, so you can take calls. And there are music controls.
Have to say - £30 well spent.

My recommend is Sony SBH20 or Sony MW600S. Currently I'm using MW1 and happy with it. But, in your case, I prefer MW600s, it has display so you'll easily find the song you wanna hear.
MW600s comes with 170 mah battery, bluetooth core ver 2.1
SBH20 comes with 110 mah battery, bluetooth core v3.0
Maybe SBH20 provide a better battery management than MW600s,

Hey guys,
Intro: Since our phone is water-resistant and pulling these claps to plug the headphones in 10 times per day is annoying, I am finally ready to consider a bluetooth solution with a mic (which I still do not really trust, but let's give it a shot!). I would like thus to revive this thread, by sharing my thoughts on the subject.
I would strongly advice to check these threads first :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273429&highlight=bluetooth
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2229347&highlight=bluetooth - Would really love Tom Fagerland to come back and give us an update
My expectations: First, I would like to explain what do I need. In this way, we are not going to argue about a detail when we actually look for different things. You can thus point-out how different your needs are and therefore would like a different headset.
quality: I need a decent one, no more. While on the go, I mostly listen audio books through Ambling Book Player. The music is for home on normal speakers.That's been said, NO MUTANTS CUTS ALLOWED.
in-ear: those are the smallest ones and I really need to be able to put the headphones in a small pocket.
headset battery: I live and sleep with my headphones, I thus need something around 8h of autonomy, (This is why I have not considered bluetooth before, remember the 3h of autonomy max?)
phone battery drain: the use of of Bluetooth headset should not make our XZ deplete in an hour. I'm not a specialist but isn't it strongly linked with BT technology? The newer the better? So for us, BT 3.0 is better than 2.0?
full compatibility with XZ : I would like it to work well with our particular phone. Obviously. I do not plan to change phone for couple of years, so no matter the work with other devices. More, I would hardly bear some functions of the headset which are not working with XZ. Would feel like a waste.
Price: I am not ready to give more than 100 bucks.
Display : Not required. Good if there is one, but not critical
Radio : No need
Sd-card : No need
In addition : general comfort and build quality
Eliminated ones :
LG Tone hbs-700 : does not seem confortable enough, does not fit in a pocket
Samsung BHS3000 : 6 hours autonomy, clip easy to break
Jaybird Bluebuds X: 169$!!! Does it have a mic anyway?
Novero Rockway: 5.5 hours autonomy
....
Main candidates:
Sony SBH20 : seems good overall, but has only 6 hours of autonomy. Confirm?
Sony MW600 and MW600s: First, what is the difference between those two? It seems that they were firstly made for phones likes SE k800i (before android) and not all the functions work properly on android phones. True story?
Sony SBH50 : when to expect the release? What would be the price you think? Something special in comparison with MW1?
Sony MW1: seems a very good one in theory, but has apparently to many possible bugs and dysfunctions. I would give it a try, but I want to be able to give it back if too many bugs happen to occur. I am currently in Belgium and can't find any place to buy it here, even online on sony website!!! If bought abroad on ebay for example I fear that giving it back will be impossible/too complicated
What have I forgot?
I have noticed something interesting. On the sony website, both the SBH20 and SBH50 are advertised in this way : "Go great with : Xperia Z", while XZ is not among perfect partners of MW1. I understand that marketing can sometimes be a strange thing, but isn't there a REAL reason for that?

What do you thing? Any Advice?
I just got a Nokia bh-221 yesterday, I just thought the same, it will be annoying to have to open the flaps every time.
The reason I went to Nokia was because I'm happy with the play 360 speakers.
This headset has a screen, but it just displays the phone number when someone is calling (or the person's name if it is in your contacts) and the battery status.
The quality is good, it has 7h of battery life (haven't been able to test it yet), it comes with a nice decent headphones but you can use every headphone you want.
It also has NFC so you can connect faster, but after the first connection, just make sure the BT on your phone is on before you turn the headset on.
The volume is a bit low, but I think it's a problem with the Z, need to test with the sound addons after rooting.
I noticed a delay in audio when playing video, I will test it tomorrow with a HTC 8X, to see if I get the same latency.

Thanks for sharing, waiting for the test results.
Just to say, these kind of problems (delays, limited screen functions...) are the ones making me reluctant towards buying other than Sony's headphones. Even though it can be a super set on its own, I'm almost sure to find some partial compatibility or even dysfunctions.

The screen functions is not a problem, is just a Nokia feature, not showing the music name...
The lags, i just tested on my 8X and I see no lag at all... I had the same problems with another philips BT headset, I think it may be an Android problem... What other OS does is just delay the video also, so both audio and video will stay in sync.
I searched for solutions, and found a lot of people with this problem, but no solution till now.

No, there are different people with different phones and headset with the same problem... I think the only (android) device i had where BT audio has synced with the video was the Galaxy Nexus.
Choose Headset.
If you want the best available sound quality and a good MIC and the most reliable accessories then stay between MW600 and MW1. i had both of them.
for you both are GREAT! but my MW600 did a lot of restarts all the time! i couldn't update it so i had to get used to it. i don't know about the latest one but before 5 years that's was my experience. my opinion...go get the MW1 with closed eyes :silly:

Anyway,
I can't find any retailer selling this in Belgium. Will have to buy it on amazon. Does someone know if it is easy to return the item? I want to try it first. If it's ok I keep it, if not (as for sooooo many users after some research) I want to be able to get my money back.

I think Amazon is our only option.
I've compared the stats from the sbh-50 and the mw1 and it seems that the mw1 will still be better. Guess I'll be waiting for the mw2 if/whenever that comes out.

Hello, man! Did you get your MW1? How is it doing nowadays? I am about to buy two units for my brother and me, and would not want a fiasco, because I have read many comments that the device doesn't work fine with firmware 1.0A.1.6 or so.
Please, tell me, which is the firmware version which is working fine with? Is it 0.1.D.0.6 the device is working perfectly? Do you recommend this headset?
For me this is the most complete and feature packed Bluetooth headset today, I am about to buy it.
Are all its features working in Android 5.1.1?
Please help me! Thank you!
