Anbody not using Motorola S9 spare ear plugs - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories

I need to go hold of some of the spare ear plugs that came with my Motorola S9? Is there anybody that could sell me theres if they have no need for them?

I need these as well... ie, the big fat ear plugs that come with S9. Unfortunately, they don't stick on as well as the 'open ones' do. If it accidently rubs against any clothing, it'll fall off. I lost the only set that I had and the 'open type' isn't as loud as I want it to be.
If anybody could help with this, it would be great. Spare ear plugs don't seem to be available anywhere on the net

Tell me about me! I called up Motorola and they just sent me from pillar to post. I had exactly the same problem as you and just lost one when it brushed against my coat.
If anybody knows how to source these please share.

Wam7... do you suppose we might be able to use ear buds from a different brand? A lot of people swap their ear buds for some ear gels from Jabra for their BT headsets. You think we could have a similar fit for the S9's from a another brand perhaps?
I found a few similar looking ear buds on ebay... what do you think?

Edit: The first 2 look the same as this one... so I'm assuming they wouldn't fit our S9's
http://cgi.ebay.com/Metal-InEar-Hea...yZ111693QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I called Motorola, several times actually. They gave me 3 numbers to try. I tried all of them and all were dead ends. Went back to Motorola and they admitted that they were not available yet as an accessory pack. They are looking into it... so just have to sit tight and wait.

Hey Guys,
Would be Cool if you could look into this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=352054 to an let me Know how the S9 or any other BT Stereo Headset ist working for you.

Hi,
I've the same problem : someone have taken my S9's Ear buds and Motorola support replied they doesn't sell this part.
So, if someone have Ear buds to sell or know where i can buy Ear buds ?
Thanks
MOTOROLA SUPPORT

I got my Motorola S9 ear cups!
I tried my best, scouring the internet, and came up empty handed -- until I finally called Motorola. For some reason, I got results right away. I guess there have been enough complaints that they are responding.
Or maybe I got lucky, but they're sending me a set at no charge. Needless to say, I was quite pleased.
I called 1-866-289-6686 or 1-866-buy-moto. The gal was friendly and helpful and added that I should pass the message along - so here you go. Good luck!!
I'm going to glue them on as soon as they arrive. I love the headset and use it all the time.

Great first post! Thanks for the information. I also tried the "glue on route" but my glue wasn't stronger enough. Going for super glue the next time which should do the trick!
Thanks again (though I can only hope Motorola (UK) are just as helpful!!

I found the replacement ear buds
I found these large size replacement ear buds for the Motorola S9 for $6.99 US at this site.
http://www.msgdigital.com/productdetail.asp?productid=46188

Nice piece but for me the issue is nothing fits into the ear. As with many headphones as you exert slight pressure on the speakers onto your ears the sound quality improves dramaticly, primarily on the Bass end of things. my wish is for a nice set of in ear cups to remedy this situation. Anyone have any suggestions?

Perfect solution
I found the perfect solution to the ear cushions/ buds.
After Motorola very customer friendly experience I just phoned my credit card up and they clawed back the cash for the headset and I bought Sony's 970.
They work better with my phone, computer and even both at the same time. And you can easily get replacements.
When I'm asked now about anything Motorola I advise everyone to look else where.

Thanks for the number to motorola! i'mon the line with them now sounds like im going to get a new pair
but for those of you with out a warranty i have came up with a way to mod your own in ear head phones with the uncomfortable ear buds for the S9's
if you have your rubber cups well enjoy and disregard this...
now i found i like the sound better with this mod, it works for me due to the shape and size of my head even the cupped ear buds don't really work for my head its "to short" and well i lose a lot of sound. this mod converts the cheap uncomfortable s9 ear plugs to "in ear head phones" for less then 6 bucks off ebay.
so here is a simple way to make your s9's a nice in ear head phones...
what you need are the non-cup S9 ear buds the uncomfortable ones
a set of medium to large generic in ear cup ear buds. (both you can buy off ebay)
1st place the s9 ear buds on the s9 facing up and some what in.
2ed turn your cheap generic cuped ear buds inside out
then place the large inside out cup over your s9 ear buds
then place them on and adjust until the fit and feel right in your ears, (CAUTION! YOU CAN HARM YOUR EARS IF THEY ARE TO LONG)
then carfully glue, if your not carful you will glue your modded ear buds on to the S9 and they wont come off!
also be real careful with the glue if you use to much you will have a uncomfortable hard chunk of glue that will be really uncomfortable in the ear...
i have attached some pictures I hope this is helpful to some of you

Yeah im in the military and on any military installation you are required to use hands free. I use a Motorola T505 for in car, it has a pretty loud speaker and can be played through your radio. I use a BlueAnt Z9 for in ear bluetooth. They are both pretty damn good and can be found on Newegg dot com.
Good post
I use the Jawbone its good !!
looking for good excuse to buy new one one plus is the noise cancellation option works
i have first version one new ones thiner
http://www.jawbone.com/
thanks for the replies. both are very good. the jawbone looks nice but how does it function? i'm trying to compromise looks and functionality as much as i can
noise-canceling technology is great
here a good place for some reviews of different ones
it hot don't want to type 104* off to pool
i use the big clunker
http://www.welectronics.com/Bluetooth/motorola_ht820.jpg
but i love it.. when im on the bus i hear no sound when i have the volume up at a good level.. if i want ot hear i lower it and can hear almost everything and my music
there big there ugly
i use them for 45 minutes to a hour a day and charge then every 3 weeks..
but thye are kick a$$
I use Tritton TRI-BH102 it has been pretty good to me. Battery life is 4hours+ constant stream range is limited to 10' anything more than that is most likely to disconnect. The thing I like about it is the 3.5mm jack.
I use the Jabra BT250v for talking. It's not the one in the link, but it looks just like it. It's the loudest and clearest one I've found in the store. It's very comfortable despite the way it looks. I've forgotten that I was wearing it quite a few times. It has an earpiece that goes into your ear and it sounds like the caller is standing next to you. I talk for about 3 hours a day, and I charge it once a week. It was $50 at Best Buy. I liked the SE HBH-610 more, but I don't think they make them anymore. I've heard really good things about all the Plantronics, but they were too expensive for me.
I use the SouthWing SA505 for stereo music. It's loud, music sounds good, and the battery last for months. I use it in the gym for 2 hours a day, 6 days a week, and to talk when I forget to charge my Jabra. I charge it about once every other month, but it's never actually died on me so it could probably go longer. And it was only $23 with shipping on eBay!
I have one by caselogic, a CLST-100
It cost $16 on double clearance, and it works about as much as it costs.
But the fact of the matter is that it works
I'm using both Jawbones (new and original) I find the new one to be more comfortable
man some dope head phones here, made it even harder for me to choose lol .. i was going to stick with a simple motorola but dam hahaha i have more options now
thanks guys keep em coming!
Out of the few BT headsets I have I find I really only use my JVC HAW700BT set anymore. It's got a stereo jack so I can use whatever headphones I like and when not on the phone I can move the main body of it to my belt. This one can also connect to your car stereo if it's got an Aux input and you can use it as a hands-free set. The battery life is excellent... at least for me.
The only "con" for me is that the charger's connection at the bottom of the main body isn't miniUSB, just some plain two pin connector. Gonna make my own adapter for it so I can charge on the go.
http://www.gadgetell.com/tech/comment/jvc-intros-new-bluetooth-transmitter-and-headset/
I haven't looked to see if it's more common now. When I got mine i had a very hard time finding anyone who even had it in their computer, much less in stock, and it wasn't on JVC's site either.
I use the jabra bt8010 stereo headset. I'm simply in love with this thing. the sound quality is outstanding. I find myself using my wing for music more than my ipod because of the headset. If your wearing both pieces phone calls sound as if you are in the same room with the person. check ebay they used to go for between 90.00 and 110.00$$ but now you can find them for as low as $40.00. Now if I could only figure out how to setup my voice command to be used on te headset?
I use a Motorola. Excellent sound quality, And compatible with A2DP ( Music via Bluetooth thing ).

i was looking into this one because of the simplicity of it. right now it seems like the best bang for the buck.
I use the Motorola H700 with no problems
Motorola H700 for me to very good, talking on phone is good, music sounds good ... MSVC sucks big time, i got mine off ebay for 22 bucks
I have the cheapest Jabra I could find in the shop, 10 UK pounds.
It's rubbish. I bought it just to try how bt headsets work.
Interestingly (although maybe I'm the last one to find out), using the attached cab I can send all sound through it whether it likes it or not (it would only work when there's a call otherwise).
What is the model number for Motorola BT head set

Running with the G1

I recently discovered the my tracks app for android and now take my phone with me whenever I go running. Only problem however: I need to keep holding the phone in my hand. Because I need a GPS signal I can't just put it in my pocket.
Does anyone know a good way to somehow strap the phone to my body (my arm or hip) in a way that it can see the gps sattelites? I've seen arm-straps for the iphone for exactly that purpose, but I can't find something suitable for the G1.
You might be able to squeeze it into the iphone one.. someone should try and report back if they know anyone with one of these..would be usefull to use when working out as music player..
I've been using MyTracks with my G1 in my pocket and it had no trouble picking up the GPS signals.
Regards,
Dave
I use this:
http://www.amazon.com/ArmBand-Gener...9?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1228504261&sr=1-9
The screen is a little difficult to use while in the case and the fit could be better, but it is usable.

Me too - Fire it up and wait for satellites, start the recording and drop it in my pocket. Never had a drop out or loss of signal. Have you tried it yet?
armband
This was recommended to me over on GDGT, but I haven't bought it yet
http://www.sportline.com/product.php?prod=42
Also check out Buddy Runner, I greatly prefer it to myTracks.
Amazon and eBay have a few armbands as well, right now I am holding the g1 in my hand. Its not so bad.

I use this armband when I run with the G1. It fits kinda tight in the case and sometimes pushes on the volume buttons. A quick adjustment of the phone usually fixes this. I have no problems using the screen with the case but sometimes the glare makes it hard to see the screen. I wear the phone and the armband upside down so it makes it a bit easier to use. As foxmeister and Saiboogu said the gps also works in your pocket after you link up to the gps satellites. I also really liked ordering from iarmbands, it was cheap and was delivered quickly to my house, good customer service, which you don't see to often these days.
I found a cheap samsung armband set at Walgreens or CVS which came with two different types of straps and one carring case. The G1 actually didn't fit into the original pouch so used the Neoprene pouch that the phone came with. I cut to slits on the back to put the band through and on the front I cut out a portion out for the screen. Worked perfect and the Neoprene pouch is tough and still in great shape. I was using it for all my gym sessions and may go back to it if the S9's I bought keep acting up.
I haven't been able to run with my G1 without holding it, because when I'm wearing gym shorts it flys around like a brick and can be painful too.
The unfortunate thing is, I use it as an MP3 player when I'm running, and the now 10 foot cord that I use is a pain to jog with, along with carrying a water bottle.
I sue my G1 with an OOOLD ipod armband case. The G1 actually sticks out the top since it's much longer than my iPod, but since it's a tight fit, it doesn't do anywhere. If you're using it for music as well, you need to upgrade to a stereo bluetooth headset. You'll love it. I'm using the Motorola S9 (which I also used with my HTC Touch)
Tunebelt
I use a product called the "Tune Belt" that goes around my waist. I find it more comfortable than using an armband. Nice material, good construction, nice design. I ordered mine on Amazon. If I put my G1 face outward, I can actually use the touch interface through the clear vinyl. But, I usually turn it face in because of the G1's chin and the way it contours around my waist.
Here is more info on it:
http://www.tunebelt.com/domino/tunebelt/tunebelt.nsf/ip2
The Motorola S9-HD is great for wireless bluetooth operation and I can even take calls with it while I'm running. Sound quality is awesome, but I notice that the fit could be a little tighter in my ears.
I use Buddy Runner app to track my runs, and I listen to music while running too.
I highly recommend the Tune Belt.
I have a generic arm band, however I kinda like the looks of that tunebelt over an arm band.
For the software I'd give cardiotrainer a try. It tracks, plays MP3's while you run and has for 2bucks has a race against yourself feature.

Except the g1 has GPS and will track your run for you...but each his own.
my armband from iArmbands just showed up. Phone fits great! Nice and snug. Definitely recommended
I've just received my iArmBand - it does not look like it has actually been made for G1 because the holes don't fit, etc. Also the screen is hard to use. I mean it's usable, but I doubt you could do anything while running.
Actually I have not taken it out "for a spin" yet, so I might just post more tonight.

That's Odd. The only hole mine has is at the bottom for the headphone jack, but it lines up OK. How's the fit? If you sort of press out the air bubbles, my screen is very usable. i wonder if you got sent the wrong model?
Well, I don't know about you, but those holes at the bottom (and top) don't fit anything on my device:

I'll snap a pic of mine when I get off work. The 4 little rounds holes don't serve a purpose, but I don't think mine has that little slot. That looks more like an ipod touch or something.
Let me take a pic and you can compare.

Looking for Wired earphones with Microphone

Hey guys, been digging through the threads and found a couple on earphones, though not exactly what I was looking. Looking for your opinions on best earphones with a microphone for about $35-$65. Comfortable, preferably in ear design. Hoping for a pretty good microphone so that people can actually hear me, especially outside, though I don't want the mic to be huge (that's one thing I liked about the stock headphones till they broke; the mic was discrete). Also, I would prefer one of the earphones to be longer than the other so that I could have them hang around my neck when not in use. All opinions welcome.
So far I've looked at:
Sennheiser MM50
MetroFi 170vi
-Thanks
Hi,
You can try
remote control with HTC ExtUSB
which has: mic+vol up/down+fward/bward
and 3.5 connector
and get an CX 95 style
I order this combination and they are on the way.

Does this headset works the same way as the htc headset that was supplied with the phone?
thanks for the picture. Too bad it's not an around the neck design. And yes, I believe all the headsets will work like the original one. Though I should note that none of the headsets will give you extra functionality like changing songs/volume, but you can still pick up/hang up calls.
I brought a nokia headset hs47 and that does not work well with HD

I was just about to buy those last night but then I saw that there were alot of fakes floating around and didn't want to get ripped off. Also, I found reviews for the "nuforce ne-7m" and they're all extremely positive. Everyone saying that they're better than the MM50, though, unfortunately, they're not around the neck design. I still ended buying them, if I don't like them I'll just return it and get the MM50s.

Got them on tues (very fast shipping as monday was a holiday). First of all, I'm no audiophile but here's my best 'imho.' Compared to the stock headphones, well, you really can't compare them. It's like listening to music in 3D; there's depth to the sound. The mic is in a good position and tiny. So far, everyone has said that they've had no problem hearing me and I've never heard the wind blowing in my earphones (which use to happen all the time on the stock ones). They block out sound very well and don't disrupt others since you can't hear the music unless u have them on/are really really close. If you turn up the volume (on the HD) all the way up, it gets ridiculously loud, but remains high quality. The cable is nice and long (sometimes that's an issue for me since I'm like 6feet 4in (1.93m). Extremely comfortable!
Cons(?): Not around the neck design. 'Bent' (L shaped) jack vs the stock straight jack. The sound carries through the wire into the headphones when they hit/touch something (like a zipper on a sweatshirt); however I think this might be true on all in-ear headphones? If anyone can comment on that, especially on the MM50 in that scenario.
3 other notes: It has one of those sliders were the line separates into the right/left headphone to help keep them from tangling. Came with a pouch and 3 other sized ear pieces. It has a 'clip' to clip the headphones to a piece of clothing so that they don't bounce around.
If you have any other questions or I missed something let me know and I'll try and get it answered for you.

Good review IMO. Sounds similar to MM50, though lacking around the neck design would put me off them.

Ear Phones

So the other day I tried listening to some tunes on my Amaze with the HTC ear phones that came in the box.
Holy crap. For a phone with such nice build quality, it was a complete shock to find out how disappointing the ear phones were. The control buttons on the HTC ear phones are nice, but those I can do without. The sound quality is simply god awful compared to the in-ear earphones that came with my old Samsung Galaxy S. No matter how much I tweaked with PowerAmp and DSP Manager settings, I couldn't get the sound output to be satisfactory, so I'm wondering if you guys could share with me some suggestions for a pair of nice ear phones to plug into my Amaze since I'll be using this handset as a music player pretty often.
I listen to a variety of genres, but most of my playlist consists of progressive trance so I'm looking for both bass and clarity.
Let me know what your suggestions are, thanks
I use Skullcandy Ink'd headphones for my Amaze 4G for music and on my Nook Tablet when watching stuff on netflix/hulu. They sound great, and have good bass and clarity, but that's just my opinion, so your mileage may vary.
You can get them in regular headphones or one with an inline button/mic for phone calls
I bought these ones yesterday http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004M8SAJ4/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details according to the reviews are really good, once I got em in my hands I will update this post
Ok, a thread I can contribute to
Alright, so I'm a bit of an audiophile, and if you don't mind spending a decent amount of change take these headphones into consideration:

They are 100$, BUT have one of the best in ear seals I have ever seen on headphones, a wrap around cable that you place behind the ear that you don't even notice when walking / running / working out, detachable cable so if your cable dies, you can order a new one for cheap and just pop off the bud's and reattach them to the new cable, AMAZEing noise cancellation (I can't hear a thing thats going around me on a busy bus), flat frequency response (which is good for a DJ / Producer like myself, but also for you because you can go into DSP manager to add as many Db's or take away them as you please to get more BASS), it comes with tons of bass out of the box thanks to the good in ear seal, and finally, the cable is kevlar lined, so you can treat it like crap unlike most skullcandys that I used to own and it wont break
Just my two cents, also please excuse the run-on

The shure se215 are nice. solid build quality. with a little amping, they sound even better. Also the JVC HA FXT90

As an ex-frequenter of head fi I'd have to recommend the monster turbines range. And if you can find them on sale that's a plus

MusixFX, does not work with HTC Sense Music
Equalizer
I personally use Poweramp music player
If you using xboarder's ROM, you could use the DSP Manager
You can use dsp manager in any rom with root. Just download root tools and inatall it in the advance settings

I was just about to post the same thing, then saw your post, yeah X2 on the turbines. Best in-ear headphones I've ever listened to. The price is well worth it, although I did get mine for free.
Can't post a link, but if you search Amazon you'll find them for around $95.
Sennheiser OCX 880: $34.99 for 48 hrs only
Newegg has the OCX 880 on sale for $59.99 with free shipping.
With promo code EMCYTZT1110 you'll get another $25.00 off = $34.99
This coupon code valid for only 48 hours.
I ordered mine a few days ago for 59.99 and regret I didn't wait for a few more day. Don't know how the sound is but based on rewiews from Head-fi forum, the OCX 880 needs at least 48hours burn-in period to get the best of it.
I use the klipsch image S4a, which is the android version, it comes with a mic and remote. Best earphones ever. Check out the review on cnet, it got editors choice.
Best part is its just under 100 bucks.

Headphones!

All, I have my Motorola bluetooth stereo headphones. Cost me like $60.00 and I love them. They are over the ear and fit comfortable.
I have my Beat's by Dre' for $300.00 and they are OK. Blew a bunch of money.....
Went to Target last night and got in-ear Skullcandy from JIB for $9.99 and I LOVE them!!! deep base, clear sound, and they fit comfortable for someone that does not like inserting crap in my ear!!! Im not a fan of wired anything BUT, these things are sweet! and if your going out and don't need them, ball them up and put in your pocket!

Agree. I have some as well and I love them. Especially since they have different sized plugs to put over the ear buds (the silicone covers or whatever the hell they are that make them stay in your ears). I have tiny ears and most ear buds won't stay in and start to hurt, but these are nice.

What I like most? $9.99! (and yea, 2 sets of plugs!)
If you want the best sounding earbuds around, try these. http://www.overstock.com/Electronic...oise-Reduction-Earphones/6053065/product.html
I was at a Marshall's and there was a pair that were opened. I plugged them into my Photon, which I use CM9 Music on and I was blown away. The bass response is seriously insane. I've had other cheaper ones that I have thought were pretty damn amazing and even sounded better than Beats in ears but these take the cake by far. If you check Marshall's you can probably find em. They were $9.99 there. I saw them at Wal-mart for around $20.
ML, those look nice as well. It just shows that you dont have to get bank loan for a quality item, which is why I posted this for all here!

Exactly. They so incredible. I also got another pair that are developed in Sweden and have the Punisher logo on them. I know it sounds cheesy but they are amazing and not expensive at all either. They aren't the cheesy ones you'd buy for a kid. They are these ones here. Also got them for $8.99 at Marshall's http://www.superherostuff.com/punis...ear-comfort-headphones.html?itemcd=headbudpun
big skullcandy fan. all I've used since my first skullcandys. 1st pair was stolen. 2nd pair got lost after letting brothers borrow. 3rd pair I've had for three years and still work! all other head phones i have used after about a month they start sounding staticy and right side blows. also have a white pair that wad give to me. 3 yr old pair and white ones are the (ink'd) model. i just got blue pair and a pink pair (jibs)for my girlfriend for 5 bucks together from skullcandys ebay page.... i will never use anything except skullcandy

Thanks for the info everyone. I am a big fan of klipsch headphones. They are expensive but sound great. I really liked the jvc marshmallows for exercise. $20 from walmart.
Do the skullcandy headphones also have treble or are they just crazy base with no real definition? Thanks everyone,

I have a Free EQ app and they work well together. Hip Hop I set it to Hip Hop and I get bass. For ZZ Top I set it to Heavy Metal (I know they are Blues!) and I get treble. I have classical, Jazz, and a few more, but again, the few I tried sound great. Oh, and there is a custom setting that gives you 5 different ranges to adjust to your liking? And at $9.99.............

I too have a pair of Klipsch that I use all the time and love them. Great sound and you can wear them for hours without fatigue.

I also have a nice pair of studio monitors that I love from Philips O'Neil. Great sound and again you don't get that ear fatigue.

A huge selling point for me is long term wearability. Who cares if it is the best sound ever created if you can not wear them for more than 10 minutes at a time because your ears ache.
Both of these headphones can easily be listened to for a couple of hours with no problem and still deliver a really good sound.
