Motorola S9 question

9 replies · 3,034 views · Started 17 January 2008

I need a stereo bluetooth headset, and Motorola S9 ticks all the boxes.

I just have two questions, maybe there are users here which could answer them:

1) what's the mic sensitivity/quality? Do your callers complaint that they can't understand you, etc?

2) Is it possible to connect S9 to two phones at the same time?

It's really important for me and I'd really appreciate if someone could perform a simple test :
Pair the S9 with two phones. Then listen to the music on one through S9 and ring the other one connected( with house phone or sth). Do you get the incoming call through the S9 when you're listening to the music on another phone?

Thanks in advance!!!

The microphone sounds better than you might expect. Indoors in a reasonably quiet environment it's perfect. In a busy noisy place it's a bit more affected by background noise but the difference between this and any other headset I've owned is marginal.
As to running it on 2 phones- that's a no-go. After pairing it with one phone I can't even get it to pair with the second never mind connect to both. The v.2 firmware on the N95 has bluetooth issues and this may be to blame.

I have had a S9 for about a month now and I am very impressed. The sound quality is great compared to my Sony's which I considered to be the best I'd tried up until then. The volume achievable is far superior too.

If the S9 is only to be connected to one device then its simplicity itself as it connects automatically to the last item. I sometimes use it with my laptop and there is a certain amount of fiddling with pairing but generally no major problems. Definitely only one device can be connected at one time though so I couldn't perform your test.

Thanks guys!!

That's a shame, I'd really need it to have multi pairing functionality. And you would think it'll have it concidering the complexicity of the device where more simple headsets do...
Just one more question - is it also comfortable to wear it on your neck while NOT listening to it?? I'm sorry to ask these questions, but I could only find them in Carphone Warehouse and staff are extremely unhelpful there ( you can't try it on, you can't buy it and replace it or return it if it's uncomortable, nothing...) and the S9 is quite pricey, so don't wanna waste money on sth what will end up in a drawer.

I find them very comfortable. I have them round my neck a lot both in the house and out on the bike and forget they are there sometimes.

I got mine on ebay, brand new, for less than �30 delivered next day
