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

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:

Thanks, will probably try a WM1. Just wondering if waiting till SBH-50 wouldn't be wiser...
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!
I've got some nice a2dp headphones (novero rockdale) and they work nicely on the laptop
but on the phone I get lower quality, like if it was a hands free kit for voice only
music is very affected
as the headphones work great on the computer I don't see them at fault
is there a setting I could modify on my nexus 5 to get good audio quality?
thanks
I have a similar problem though only when making phone calls. Any solutions?
Just received these yesterday and they are excellent. Crystal clear sound and noise cancellation works well with Z5. Like most Sony earbuds, slightly lacking in bass response but I can get past that considering the music I listen to. Purchased from Clove UK.

No, they don't.
Can the headset be used for hands-free phone calls, or are the built-in microphones solely for noise cancelling purposes?

No call functionality at all. They sound fantastic listening to FLAC recordings. I have parked my JBL's and using these exclusively for music. I would think they would improve with break in as well.
You can talk in to the back of the headphones, the mic is dual purpose so works with calls as well as noise cancelling.
Another cool feature is if you have this headset plugged in when recording video the phone records in stereo. Keep them in your ears though to get better stereoscopic sound whilst recording.)
It's odd how Sony don't market these features.

Sony did market the feature for the older NC31EM. However, this comment is missing form the MC750 product page.
I wonder what the differences between the two really are, except price and design, obviously.
Upon further investigation, it looks like they can be used for calls:

Whats the difference between Sony MDR-NC750(70GBP) and Sony MDR-EX750(130GBP) ??
MDR-EX750 are rechargeable with in-line controls. MDR-NC750 have neither of these features.

Sony MDR-EX750 has Active Noise cancellation (doesn't require Z5), the Sony MDR-NC750 is basically a headphone with a microphone to take in background noise, but relies on the Z5 (or Z-series) phone to provide the noise cancellation -- meaning NC750's noise cancellation doesn't work on anything else but Sony products.
Just got a pair in today (via ebay seller - he never used them. The box was still sealed!) I already had the NC31EM's which I also enjoy and kinda bid on these assuming I wouldn't win them. Oops They are a little more comfortable and the cable is Y-split vs the right side requiring wrapping around the back of the head. I'll be breaking them in over the weekend and seeing how they sound and do with noise cancelation. I already found the NC31's did a fair job.
So, can anyone can confirm calls can be made though this ? That was the main problem for me in the NC31EM, I know that workes (But not always, don't ask me why) but the correspond wasn't prone to understand me correctly :/
Thanks !
Hey,
Just came here to say that the mic is functionnal for the NC750 and worked well during some calls. No control on the remote but I don't mind
Hi i can confirm that it works well and main button on remote works as to answer or finnish the call

Hi, i know this is a very old post, however I'm curious if f what's the difference from NC31 and 750 in terms of audio quality, any significant difference? thanks
The difference is that NC750 are high resolution and the 31 are not (aside of some more audio improvements). And while it doesnt seem like much, i have both of them and the difference in audio quality is so high it cannot be described in words.
However, in order to fully utilize their potential i would recommend downloading a different music app other than the built in walkman because honestly the walkman is kind of crappy.

Hi, what about the sound quality of ex750 and nc750?
Hello dear people!
I am actually looking for how to use a smartphone (LG V30 in my case) as a music player only.
So I would want to have installed the 'best' sounding audiophile app and have everything else, everything not audio related removed from the phone.
Would you be able to point in the right direction? Or even have a step by step guide..?
I am 100% new to this matter, so I already got totally lost on this site when I searched before. I have no idea what everything means (every sentance has 3 or 4 words I dont understand..), so even when I would able to find the right thread, I don't understand at all what people are talking about.
I am an audiophile and I chose the LG V30 because it has 4 dac chips (digital to analog converter) and should have the capability to sound very, very good.
I would appreciate your or anybody else's help in this greatly.
Sound quality with music is my passion!
Sincerely looking forward to all clear and directional responses!
Gaston
In any case ... the best sounding audio player (having tested a lot of them - I also am an audiophile) is AIMP . I use it for my laptop and also for my smartphone. The Stereo separation on the V30 is not that great (tested in 2018) but maybe they improved that with software updates. I am looking to buy yet another pair of headphones - having bought JBL and JVC and Philips and Sennheiser + many more in the past. I have my eyes on Sony XB50AP (not taking any chances). May I ask what are you using? Thanks.
