As always, honestly say that I expected from this product are many, starting material is obtained directly "piarnym", they say, so I waited for the bad, but actually it is amazing, supersladkaya thing. No, I just felt that the changes will be small, not global, but as a longtime user S9 can say that the impressions obtained from a completely new product. Therefore I did not include the Motorola S9 in the operating experience of a phone, and talk about it separately, the benefit that it deserves.

Immediately I will say that I'll cupola only what has changed. For example, the design remained the same, so soon, apparently, a new color scheme, white and blue, you can see it in photographs. I do not like it for everyday use in town, but wonderfully combined with a sports suit, sneakers; understand correctly, the company is betting on amateur sports lifestyle that might as well buy the S9-HD and use it when jogging in a pair with a phone or player iPod (there is a special adapter from Motorola). It remains the hope that fans will not forget the black and give them a version of HD, I would have great pleasure in using it in everyday activities. In the end, I managed to charm raskushat truly wireless device, and I used to wander around the park, wearing exactly S9, and not something else. Would not cling to, nothing prevents, quickly and easily.

Design, construction

Appearance, as I already said, remained the same, but there is a change in body materials, or so it seems because of the color, white plastic massive occipital block lacquered blue stripe ribbed inside the headset, can be seen, for better adhesion to the head. In general, whether in connection with all this, then I just heavily overgrown, but the headset sitting on my head very well, and even a couple of hours of wearing, I have not experienced absolutely no pain effects, with the original product was quite different.The only pity is that it is not altered plug connector for charging, it is still a little bristling, which is not good.

Management

The main claim to S9 - it's touch controls, despite the fact that some people reacted quite calmly to them, the new version can be seen that the problem to understand and realize. Now we see a convex regular buttons, covered with rubber, on the left arch are "+" and "-" volume control, key response to the call, on the right - press Play / stop, Rew, FF, will not go away the power button and activate the pairing mode She still behind at the bottom. Was more comfortable? Yes, much more. Easier to manage? Definitely, because now no need to fear that the most delicate touch to begin rewinding.

Food

Here I would like to highlight this point: when charging the headset via a USB port, users notice that installed some drivers, and Windows XP or Vista starts something out there to discover. I myself have noticed this at first seemed to have the opportunity to listen to so music from your computer (ie, connecting cable), but knowledgeable people in the company's assurances that such possibility is not and never will. And about the firmware molchok anything is not clear yet. In general, with S9-HD situation is exactly the same slot left everything the same, it's nice and general use miniUSB, about which were quietly forgotten, but absolutely nothing. It was interesting to experience how the headset works on a single charge, it lasts way, half an hour (I was not the final sample). So, when connected to a Nokia N81 device has worked at full volume for about five-plus hours, I'm actually expecting a lot more changes, in fact, does not happen. And sorry, we can only repeat once again: it is quite possible it would add a high capacity battery in the headset of this size.Why forget about time - is unclear.

Music

The most interesting changes have affected the musical part. Let me remind you what was said in the press release: «Immerse yourself in your music with the 3-D surround sound and high-definition acoustics from SRS WOW HD ™ technology. Leave the outside world behind as you feel every beat and focus on the space your music creates around you with enhanced bass and noise isolation. The S9-HD wraps you in rich sound quality, not wires, so you're free to control your music and calls while staying active ». Trekked through advertising blah-blah-blah, we understand that in the black is to support 3D-sound, regardless of whether there is support for this technology on the phone or not. Do you think I do not understand what all this nonsense? And what is more or less like the truth it had been arranged in the phone Motorola E2, there programmatically create three-dimensional effect, so far I have not heard anything like it on other music phones. And then, let's see, which means that the effect is applied to the headphones or the phone? Creating the effect of the music sort of stops, I'm sorry, figachit only from the speakers, and seemed to be around you, and the source can not be clearly identified. Imagine a room where a cleverly disguised by a number of powerful speakers, they are properly located, organized and create an amazing musical picture, when you seemed to occur in the center of a small universe. In short, all the lyrics, the fact remains: a portable technique is hardly ever will generally be close to major home systems.

Now let's talk a little about the concept. What is SRS WOW HD? The first three letters stand for Sound Retrieval System, loosely translated - "the return of the sound system, and, of course, do not forget about the developer of this technology, companies SRSLabs, here I give a reference to the description of the theory that what is at stake, an interesting document I recommend reading. But the document more specifically tells us that the technology used in portable devices, players and headphones. You can say that you are using some software addition, it is possible that applied and other hardware than the S9, though unlikely. Company Motorola, incidentally, is listed in the long-time partners SRSLab, I think, and E2 were used technology from the guys with Daimler Street.

Whatever the case, global changes have occurred since S9-HD sounds completely different than the original. No, it does not become louder and clearer sound completely different, I would say it is convex and very very tasty, non-transferable. In something like the Jabra BT8030, although this example here is not just an example, for a really unusual song is perceived, which seemed to be playing each instrument separately, vocals sounds close, far away sound minor noise in isolation are perceived bass, but the final note is Final note, not part of the melody. And it is typical for any kind of music, listening and electronics, and jazz, soul, rock and even a lot of damn things. What is listening? Only on the Nokia N81. But there is a strong desire to steal the black S9-HD, when they appear in proper quantity, to produce an adapter for Sony A-808 and continue to experiment, I think that in such a bundle all will be even better, deeper, and so on. Do not hesitate to say this: the world of music headsets now S9-HD, like N91 in the world of music phones. She has a strange, not beloved by many form-factor, not a great time, but what I hear, even paired with not the-most "myuzikfonom" I was deeply impressed. Again, this is really music seems to consist of separate strips, which can be heard in their own ways, it's interesting, exciting. Here, I remember an example: if a club DJ plays house, but besides him there is also a group out there, tamschikov that add drive, liveliness. Bra-in.

Communication with the phone, voice quality

There are no changes, in principle, I made this just for the sake of Glaucus to mention the fact that the pair became faster, the headset has become more receptive to different brands of phones, I connect it to the products from all major companies will not give examples of models , except to say that with all the "connection" was inevitable and fast. I note that the volume inside the rewind songs, alas, does not work, sorry.

Conclusions

While it is difficult to say how much the device would cost, can not say anything about the timing of the appearance, but I can say one thing: Motorola S9-HD was a success, it's really a unique thing so far, interesting to Gadget, who like all sorts of exotic things. In addition, I can not mention the fact that the device is primarily intended for owners of music phones, it is assumed that your machine is too anything can, then you just enjoy the new sound of your phone. Alas, paired with a Nokia N95 8Gb I was not pleased with the result, it's me to the fact that improvement in such a way not initially very good results will come.

Have not appear sharp grasping reflex, here lived, like a thing not to return and continue to use. Even after all and in a pair with a laptop, it behaves just amazing. But it's true because my good old faithful Sony DR-BT50 though not as amazing sound, but with nearly three times longer and more comfortable to wear. Let's hope that other game companies headset with audio too will pass, especially would like to see WOW HD in compact devices.
