Motorola S9 Active Bluetooth Headset
Package:
I got the David Beckham set which comes with the headset, travelling charger, carrying case, extra ear bud and exercise armband carrying case (can fit my Samsung Omnia and most MP3). I guess the armband carry case is more for iPod Touch.
Usage:
The headset is very light and very comfortable to wear as compare to my old iTech headset, is like wearing nothing. When wearing my old iTech, you can feel the heat as it covers the entire ear.
Buttons:
- Left: The controls are volume up/down (denotes with -/+) and answer call or talk buttons
- Right: You have the Prev/Next button and sitting in the middle is the Play/Pause/Stop
The buttons are soft touch, which means that you need to just feel it and is touch. Each touch will be acknowledged with a beep. You must get used to the position as all buttons are cramp into a very small place so those with big fingers might touch the wrong buttons.
Built quality:
The set is very light and comfortable to wear. However, those with bigger head might find it a little uncomfortable. Pairing the device with my Samsung Omnia is piece of cake, just press the Answer button on S9 and search it on the Omnia, the rest is handle by Omnia. On the Nokia, you might need to key in the passcode.
Bad news: S9 does not pair with other MP3 bluetooth dongle such as iTech, however you can pair it with TEN iPod dongle. I have sent my problems to Motorola and hopefully they can give me an answer (more update on this once I have a solution)
Sound wise is normal with a flat bass, I guess it might be my phone. As for music, you can hear soft music even in noisy environment. I set my phone volume to 60% and the sound from S9 is hearable.
Making calls is easy, just dial and when connected you will hear it on the left speaker. Not sure why the right speaker is mute…. Maybe another question for Motorola. I am not sure where the mic is but you just need to talk normally, however the receiver did complaint that my voice is a little soft and lots of background voice (I am trying it on the train).
Summary:
- Pro: Light and comfortable, easy to use, good for active lifestyle
- Con: Cannot connect to Bluetooth dongle. Buttons too small.
