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.
tvos
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.
what is the difference, that is what i am asking...!
do you really hear the difference between the two bluetooth headsets?
tvos
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
tvos
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!
tvos
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..
tvos
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
tvos
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.
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.
tvos
Have any you trie the JayBirds? How do they compare to the S9 HD?

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.
Is it me or the Galaxy Note headphones are not that bad. I especially like the volume controls; makes it easier to listen to music without touching the phone.
Music sounds good. What do you guys think?

i think they are pretty good considering they came with the phone.
I just wish they were black. White makes it look kind of Appleish.
Have you guys tried making calls with the headphones? If not, would you mind trying and reporting on call quality, volume, etc.? Thanks!
i LOVED them, my favorite headset, i have better headphones but as a headset these are my fav, i also dropped a screwdriver on the cable a cut the cable on them already, heartbroken, better to have loved and lost

Oops.... my brain just infringed on at least one of their patents....
Seriously though... any comments on call quality (in and out) on the headset?
Thinking of getting a Note, quick question regarding the headset. Does it come apart above the handsfree mic so that you can connect your own buds?
If not is there a handsfree cable I can buy that would do this?
I use them over my Klipsch S4i's cause of the built in controls, and I love my S4i's.
My only complaint is that these headphones are two big for my ears... I have tried to use the smallest that was included but still too big..I Think my ears do not like earphones..

I take it they don't come apart then, you can't plug your s4i's into the mic section?
If not it looks like this set is in two pieces, any idea if they would work?

No they don't come apart. As far as those linked working, I don't know either.
its not bad if you haven't tried better headphones or iem's.

call quality is fine on both ends!
i had a samsung s2 before and it was really suck. when i get my note, i dont even bother to open it at all. until one day my apple earpiece is spoilt. and then i notice that the note earpiece comes with volume control. the sound quality is so good that the crispiness of the sound is almost perfect!!! OMG!
You cannot plug your own headphones into the samsung pair, it's solid.
Personally I think there is no bass, and for music the sound is dull.
Treble is not amazing as well, I'd cut it, and solder a female 3.5" connector, make it plug-able.
I hate them. I hate earplugs that goes in the ear, so i'm still using my HTC plugs that IMO has better bass than Samsung's.

OT: nice Xmas sig.
Hi ive done a search and couldn't find my answer so was hoping someone can help me.
I really dont get on with my stock headphones that came with my s3 as they constantly fall out of my ears as do all the bud style ones, so guess im after some beats style over the head ones and also want to be able to use the mic so i can talk on calls without having to get the phone out of my pocket but have read that the mic on the beats ones doesn't work due to the way the plug is intended for apple devices.
So has anyone got any that they can recomend that will give good sound for my music and also let me use features of standard headphones.
cheers lee
There was a thread floating about regarding earphones with mics, do a little search in the S3 forums and you'll find. Off the top of my head though I can only think of Klipsch Image S4A's although they are earphones. There is also an adapter you can buy off ebay that you can plug your headphones into, which his a mic & line controls but the wire would be so long that I've avoided using it on my M2's since I can get enough bass out of the stock Samsung headset
Jaybird Bluetooth Earphones. I've tried everything and these are the best.
Jays a-jays one+. Not the best mic but great in ear canal buds for the money.

Cheers for replys but cant use the buds as really uncomfortable and always fall out of my ears so really need some that go over top of my ears.

These things are incredible.
Used TIDAL Hi-Fi and on the EQ, turned up the 32hz lowest bass level all the way up. Incredible.
Much lighter than the beats that came with my HTC M7, but I haven't compared sound yet.
For me personally I don't like them at all I got used to using Bluetooth headphones and haven't been back since I'm not very happy with the included headphones so I went out and bought a Bluetooth Beats Solo 3 set and like those a lot. I got the over-the-ear kind .
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S8+
In my opinion they are way better than any beats headphones ive tried (Thats not saying much) I like them! But if it would have meant that the phone was 100 cheaper (or even 30$) if they didnt include them, that would have been nice.
Beats???seriously??

Very awkward shape and I don't like that they suction your ears so you literally can't hear anything outside.
they're good for bundled headphones. they sound comparable to $40-50 earbuds, definitely not the $99 that samsung claims they're worth.
They're better than I expected, but my $100 SE215s still blow them out of the water, so I wouldn't really call them anything near high end.

That's kinda the point with silicon-tipped bud-style headphones... And the shape is meant to fit perfectly to your ear, it definitely feels like a good fit to me.

I still like Samsung's headphones from last year where it fit well but you could at least hear some of the outside world. Apple's earpods are decent too.
To me it's more about comfort and usability than quality. I have VMODA M100's for quality.
They are verry good. Plugged them into my pc...nice sound and loud. Verry dissapointed when im using yhem on my s8... Samsung did a poor job this year with the amplifier on this phone. Low bass...low volume. Htc M One and M8 are still the best phones for ppl that enjoy music on the go.
Coming from the Apple earpods, the AKG are just amazing.
The sound is better and the isolation is a killer compared to the earpods.
After personalizing the audio with Adapt Sound, and increasing the bass in the EQ, these headphones sound amazing.
I was pleasantly surprised by the AKG headphones. I've always been overly-attached to my BassBuds, but I could easily see myself using the AKG ones instead...especially as my kids love the BassBuds too and keep nicking off with them.
The sound isn't too bad, and I like the grey colour scheme. I find them a bit heavy on the bass right out of the box, but that works well when trying to ignore children. My only complaint would be that I don't find they sit in my ears very well. It is the main reason I love my BassBuds, they are comfortable and never fall out. I am doing a test run with the AKG headphones over the next week or so to see if they fall out.
Really uncomfortable for me. Even with larger tips, the bulky outside part is too close and actually hurts my ear. And sound was pretty meh. I am using Sennheiser Momentum earbuds at the moment. I have different set of issues with them (eartips fall out if you as much as look funny at them), but sound and comfort are great.
it is better than earphones came with previous Samsung phones, iPhone stock earphone, but you would get much better below 20 bucks earphone from Aliexrepss, especially Rock Zircon which is 12 bucks only.

it's quite the opposite for me.
they have a very weak sound for me because even with the largest size cover they don't seal properly.
i can get them to seal properly by wearing them upside down, but that starts to hurt after a while.
it's a shame they stopped with the regular earbuds with a "mouth"
they could get full sound without requiring a perfect seal and without putting pressure on my ears.

Go to settings, search Sound Quality and Effects. Click on it then run the Personalize Sound test.
I'm thinking about buying the official samsung buds but see many mixed reviews from the sound is low and the microphone quality is average at best.
I'm looking for good sound wireless charging noise Canceling and great fit and comfortable and usb c .... I was about to order earfun which cost less than 50 bucks with some good reviews .. Any good suggestions thanks
I am also looking for affordable one. I am more interested in Apple Airpods like Ear tip, not the rubber type, that hurts. Also bass is important.
You can't have airpod tip and get bass. To get bass you need isolation. Not rubber tip isolation. You will have to buy comply foam ear tips. Trust me when I say it makes a world of difference.
I got the galaxy buds with the free 150 credit for preordering.
They sound good for me and I'm hard at hearing things on the daily lol
Havnt tried talking with them, cause I didnt use buds or headphones for that matter to talk to people.
I just wish the note had an equalizer equal to when I had the S7 edge, I loved using the concert/hall reverb settings on some songs.

I have the gear iconX from 2018. While they are useful because they're small, long battery life, build quality, etc... they are not flawless.
The sound is OK but cannot compete with the included wired AKG headphones that come with note 10+. I believe that the galaxy buds are kind of same, maybe a little better with AKG technology but still these toys are small and i do not trust them for pleasing "audiophiles" kind of people.
I use the included AKG right now because they are just much better than the iconX. Only keep the iconX when i need to be free (in the garden or when running, or when walking in the street because of the ambiant sound feature etc).
If i ever look for good headphones i will probably check large ones, supra phones like Bose QC35 II which is probably one of the best wireless headsets i ever tested.

These things are too small, price is kinda low as well for what it does. They should work on audio quality instead of features IMHO.

modern day problem, wires.. how did we reach this level surprises me...
Anker sound buds. Long battery life! 12h! Extremely long range and sound is awesome! Not completely wireless but great nonetheless
I bought a pair of Samsung Gear buds full price with the credit for $130.
3 days ago I was searching Facebook Marketplace and found a brand new pair in box sealed for $60.
Check Letgo, CL and FB Marketplace!
Galaxy buds are good compromise for me.. I've had few low price buds (30-80 dollars) and powerbeats 3.. Powerbeats were great, I used them for 2 years, then I lost them, maybe sound was very synthetic.. That low cost buds were good.. Sound quality 6/10, battery life 7/10, but connection quality was poor. But also galaxy buds are not perfect... Charge box battery is not a good, problem with right bud after few weeks of using (lower volume in right bud, louder in the left one), but) then I pissed of and went back to the store and ofc. they worked perfect, so I was looking like a idiot). But it doesn't matter you know.. Every ear buds have + and -
Jabra 75t are pretty good almost 8 hrs on a single charge use them while I'm working they are just like the 65t but redesigned
I'm seriously impressed with the Samsung Galaxy Buds. Sure there are some buds out there that will sound better and have some other unique features but these things just simply work, always work, either bud 1 at a time, great range and quality, and are comfortable. I've had about 5 other brands and these are my favorite so far.
I'm not going to lie I lovey Powerbeats pro completely wireless and the sound is great with the note however I hate having to use the iPhone charging cord
I`ve got the Hyphens as a early bird (so at good value), but they are still not too expensive. They are really great at sound, bass and wearing comfort. I wouldn`t get any other ones at the moment.

My original Samsung bud, the left one - 3 weeks old - , died, so while out for warranty servicing, I purchased a spare wireless set from Wish. They arrived 2 days ago and I tested them... very decent quality for the price. It costed me CAD$22. The case is also a backup battery - 3,000 mAH that charges your phone if need be - it has a USB-A port. The L and R buds are pairing together and can be used alternatively, The airtime is about 4 hours, they say - I have not tested them. I ahave also noticed that Amazon has a few decent ones for under $50.
Creative Outlier Air! Outstanding!
