Im finally done with my motorola S9HD and looking for a replacement.
I was so happy when the s9 HD version was released as i thought they fixed a major bug of swaet breaking the buttons on s9 units, i was on my 4th pair of s9's when i upgraded to the S9HD.
Now 2 sets of HD's later and i have had enough of sending faulty units back.
Can anyone recommend a bluetooth headsert suitable for running with?
must be bluetooth, A2DP, AVRCP and have decent sound... ooh and last more than 8 weeks.
thanks
A friend of mine sent me an email with these headphones.
They look like they could be a good replacement, does anybody have any experiance?
Jabra BT620s may be a good choice, but now Amazon.com doesn't have a good price, a good price for this set should be around $70. Try other electronic discount retailers.
Personal idea: This set, or any kind of Bluetooth set, is not recommended for serious Classical music fans. But I dare say no one are that kind serious on for a cell phone's media player.

they seem to be alot better than the jb200 in the reviews i have been reading.
There is a pretty good video reviw on youtube comparing the S9HD, JB200 and the altec lansing.
seems the altec get great reviews everywhere and a bit cheaper than the competition too. Alot of reviews do rate the sound of the S9 as being better but alot of people do not get on with its semi-rigid design not to mention the absolutly $*1^ reliability.
Thanks for the recommendation, i have ordered a pair of altecs
£48 including delivery which is nearly half of what i paid for the S9HD a year ago
thanks for the recommendation jonrobertd, i ahve had the lansings for a few days now and really enjoying them.
They are more comfortable than my S9's and a damn sight cheaper too
The S9 do sound better (fuller sound and more bass) but i think the lansing may last longer at the gym
Hello,
I am planning to buy a stereo bt headset to use with phone and computer. I am having Jabra HALO and Rocket fish RF-MAB2 as my options. Any one have experience with one of these how is the quality and durability?
BTW I am considering Jabra because they are cheap today at http://mobile.dailysteals.com/ for just 25 + some shipping, But are they any good? how is the audio quality of Rocketfish. I am fine with not good looks but I really want good audio quality...so any insight on this would be great also please suggest me if there are any options around $60-$70 price tag..
thanks!
Jabra BT3030 is another option if you want to use your own headphones.
I am not to sure about price range , but I can tell you I bought motorola 's S9HD about 20 months ago , best purchase ever and eventhe mic quality is decent I dont get complaints eventho its obvious Im using a headset ,but for music the sound quality is just GREAT (battery life to! )
I bought mine on eBay with no box cost me around 100$ shippe to Canada ( almost 2 yrs ago), dont forget to get the HD one , not the regular one , it really is worth every penny .
I have the rocketfish....
but it all depends on what your going to use it for.
for everyday stuff the motorola is nice. very good quality from what i heard.
but if you are going to be working out and have sweat and rain than i suggest the rocketfish. it doesnt say its waterproof but it takes a better beating than the motorola.
but on the jabra im not sure.
the rocketfish isnt superior in sound but its good and when talking the person on the other side cant seem to tell that its a headset. ^^
hope that helps

Hey thanks guys....that helps a lot. To be honest I am looking for a headphone with excellent audio quality in budget..and mostly I will be using it while traveling only. Also I dont mind the mic call quality..actually I was thinking of some good wired phones like bose without mic but then I realized that third party phones dont always work good with excellent custom ROMs that are out here..and I just noticed that motorola's headphones comes with BT adapter for iPod which is good addition! but all I really care about is audio quality..so I guess moto is good right ??? or any other good options out there.. as it is I will be buying around thanksgiving so right now exploring the options and once decided I will hunt for deals
I bought the S9 (not HD) from Moto last year on Amazon for $29 - sound great for the price. I use them when working out, but otherwise i liked the wired earbuds.
I have the Rocketfish and i love them! Previously i had the Motorola s9-HD and they hurt my ears because they went in the ear. The Rocketfish rest against the ear like the old school sony headphones that wrapped around the head.
I recommend the Sony Ericsson Mw600.
Most flexible BT headset as you can plug in your own headphones. Alsp has a FM radio to boot.
Definitely worth the investment
Hi waghoba - Did you end up with the Jabra BT-650? I was looking at them after you had made your inquirey on that discount site. I started seeing what kind of reviews I could find. By the time I got around to deciding I'd give them a try they were sold out.

Same here. When I decided to buy them, they were sold out. Now I am looking for new deals on some good headphones. Although I was looking for Bluetooth headsets, many people suggested me to buy wired ones for good audio quality.

Just picked up a pair of the Motorola S10 HD and think they are excellent.

Really appreciate your reviews.. It's great to have someone like you in this section and I'm very much interested in earphones so thorough and in-depth reviews like yours are always welcome.
I went for the Xiaomi ones you reviewed instead, and looking forward to receiving them. Out of curiosity, do you use the Viper mod for your Note II?
Also, do you have a pebble watch? I've noticed a massive bug with that + the bluebuds x on Android 4.3 which I've not been able to ask anyone else about!

Thank you for the kind words! More headphones and other audio equipment reviews are on it's way
My N2 is all stock 4.3. Don't use Pebble, but Metawatch instead. Regarding question about Pebble, don't know if you aware but XDA has a separate smartwatch section with Pebble sub-forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/pebble - I have no doubt someone will be able to help you in there. Good luck!

Thank you for the link. Unfortunately though I had already barked up that tree a while back and got nowhere. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2655628
It's a shame as it makes using the Bluebuds with my phone useless unless I disconnect the pebble first, which sort of defeats the point of using apps like "music boss." Since it works fine on 4.4 on my Nexus 4, I'm guessing that the bitpool of the bluetooth connection lowers when the pebble is in town. Really hoping for a kit kat update soon to sort this out!

Hey man, thank you for such an in depth review!
I'm currently looking for some buds to replace my Sennheiser CX300IIs.
I am wanting a good sound at a good price and I've narrowed my options down to 3 possible buds:
RHA MA750i
Beyerdynamic DX 160 (after reading this)
Klipsch X7i (I think my favourite)
But I am no audiophile and these would be my first pair of half decent in ear buds.
I'd love your opinion and which ones would you go for?
Thank you for your time
To be honest, $25 Xiaomi Pistons were designed as an alternative to CX300 Klipsch has a very poor quality. Beyer sounds good, but Pistons have the best value.
Advise needed
I recently lost my Klipsch S4 headphones, with no clue as to where they are. *sad
I am looking to invest in a good pair of IEMs to replace them, something that will last me a while.
My list comprises of this: Soundmagic E10, Shure SE112, Klipsch Image S4A-II, Philips Fidelio S1, AKG K376, and one of the two Beyerdynamics you reviewed in this post.
I would like your advise on these earphones and possibly any others that may be of note. It's hard to buy earphones off the internet because of an inability to test them before committing to the product. I would like to have good audiophile quality and perhaps the extra functionality with my HTC One will be nice (although not having it will not be a dealbreaker).
Thanks mate.

What is your budget? Your price spread is from $25 to $125 (Beyer phones are over $100). If you are constantly on the go and prone to loosing your headphones, I wouldn't invest into anything expensive. Stay within good value budget so if you loose it - it's easier to replace without breaking a bank. Klipsch quality went down. Shure lower price model is a junk. Except for E10, I'm not too familiar with others but see reviews with a mixed bag of comments.
If you want to stay on the budget in $25-$35 range, Pistons 2 and E10 are great. Btw, Soundmagic just released E10S version with in-line remote, I'm getting it for review toward the end of this week. Going a little higher in price you have Ostry KC06A and Audio Technica ATH-IM50 (with removable cables). Hitting $100, you have a great choice of Beyer DX 160 or Brainwavz S5.
Thanks

Thank you for your response and I will look into the suggestions you have made. I would also like to inquire as to how well these headphones would handle use during sports like jogging. Your advise is very much appreciated.
When you a dealing with this type of wire down headphones (versus wire over the year or with removable in-/over-ear stabilizers), the fitment while you are exercising will depend on how well eartip is jammed into your ear If you are using Comply foam tips, they expand creating a great inner ear seal and hold earpieces secure. BUT a big drawback with Comply tips is their superior noise isolation which cuts down on your awareness when outside running/exercising/cycling, etc.
For exercising and great sound quality, I would highly recommend Monster iSport Victory (look up in my list, I reviewed those as well). Totally forgot to mention about those, but their sound quality is on part with DX 160ie, and they got in-ear stabilizer. The neon green one is on amazon for $118, the same price as DX 160ie.

Hi mate, firt of all, good work on all reviews that you do over the internet, helpefull asf
I have some questions that you may answer.
I used to own a pair of Kz Ate, and it broken, loved them, i already bought another pair, wich have not arrived yet.
But i end up looking for earphones, and become interested in maybe a upgrade.
Is this a worth upgrade on my kz ATE ? talking about sound quality here, and durability, constructiontion etc. But firtly, sound quality
These fidue a71 its like, the maximum that i am interested to pay for, found them for 50 bucks. It is costly here in my country
What about the cheaper fidue a33 ? these could be a intesting backup, i liked the construction.
The sound quality, in a directly way, stands with the kz, or the a71, how they compare ?
If you have any suggestions of other in the price range, please tell me.
I will be happy if you could jus tell me if these a71 are a goob buy, and a significant upgrade, over the KZ. If not, an idea of what range of earphone would be an appropritte upgrade would be great.
Thx man.

Skip A33, not that good. A71 is build like a tank, definitely higher quality. I think you will be happy with it and for $50 is a very good deal because they go for at least $70 new.
In terms of the upgrade or not, sound preference is very subjective, for some people it could be an upgrade (meaning improvement) for others it could be a side-grade (meaning something different). It's definitely an upgrade in build quality, and most likely you will find it as an updated in sound quality.
Another one I can highly recommend to you is SoundMagic E80, I see it being sound brand new for around $53. This one is a definite giant-killer. Still amazes me. It has a fantastic build and very clear and detailed tuning.
Hi guys,
I am going to buy wireless earphones. I am OnePlus 9 pro user with A12. In that case is it worth buying OnePlus Buds Pro? It supports high quality audio codec on A12, so in router login theory it should perform great. Do you guys have some experience i 192.168.0.1 n that matter? Can you compare buds pro to other manufacturers in similar (or lower) price?
I am asking here, cause I am interested in best performance for my 9 pro.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Carlos,
I bought the buds pro a few months ago and I don't know if I was just out of luck or if the product is not worth it. On the first pair, the right earphone with active noise cancellation would emit a high-pitched background sound if there was no sound. So I proceeded with the return, the second pair same problem but on the left headset. I was very disappointed, apart from this regret the headphones sound great, are very comfortable and the cancellation does its job. Instant and well integrated pairing. But for 150 euros a really bad experience. I also returned the second pair.
I they need more reviews...I would compare to others.
NO !!!
No headphones worth so Much Money !!!
This is pure Greed ! Like Creap from apple! Garbage from samsung! **** from sony!
Unfortunately, Oneplus follow them...

Are you using bucks gear from aliexpress? GLHF then
No. I use bone conduction heaphones.
I listen more than 8 hours a day, at work. And my ears dont hurt from music or from headphones.
For about two months, I've been utilising the buds z. They are perfect for my needs. I use them primarily to listen to music and view videos. For me, the ability to switch seamlessly between iOS and Android is a huge plus.
And if i want to good sound for my music i use Oneodio dj pro (chinese headphones over the ear with Awesome sound and Great looking).
I have all 3 - the Z, Z2 and the Pro buds. [I've also owned Airpods Pro and Airpods Gen 3.] The deciding factor is the shape of your ear IMO... if you have a hard time fitting the silicon rubber tips in your ears without them falling out, go with the Z2s. They hang in your ear as opposed to wedge in like the Pros. If you don't have a large ear canal problem, go with the Pros.
TLDR: they are all great sounding. The noise cancelation is better on the Pros than on the Z2. The sound quality is essentially the same.
Forget about the original Zs, think they've been replaced by the Z2.
I got mine for free when I bought the 10 plus. Will let you know once they arrive.
