Motorola S280 (SYN1458B) is great for music! (V9 Rzr2 phone).,

This review is from: Motorola S280 Stereo Headset with Micro USB Connector for RAZR2 V9 (Wireless Phone Accessory)
Beware, my experience is that there are two versions of this headset and they look EXACTLY the same. One sounds great for music, the other is absolutely horrible. The "OEM" version SYN1458A has unbelievably bad sound (maybe I got a bad unit but I don't think so). Even at full blast the volume was low and not in stereo. I purchased it as a backup to my existing S280 which I purchased at the my local electronics store and that one sounds great. The sound difference is like night and day. I have both to make a direct comparison so I know for sure there is a huge difference, even though they look exactly the same. I discovered a difference physically when you remove the foam cover and then the round rubber gasket surrounding the magnet. On the "terrible version" the perforated grille circle would fall off freely along with the rubber gasket (basically held on there by the gasket). On the great sounding version (SYN1458B) I noticed that the grille is permanently mounted to the speaker/magnet with a soldered metal band, and it certainly will NOT fall off once the rubber gasket is removed. Basically what I'm saying is to buy the S280/SYN1458B headset and NOT the OEM/SYN1458A or anything else if you care about sound quality!
I have modified my headset and custom fitted it to my ears with a moldable plastic product for a perfect seal. The stereo is outstanding with great low bass response and clean highs that can rival much more expensive units. Combined with the auto music mute/phone answer microphone button/auto music resume feature makes this product one of the best values out there! Who needs Bluetooth or an iPod?! Update 3/7/11: I have been using this headset consistently for almost 2 years now. It still works great and sounds awesome. When I am on my lunch break I always listen to music on my Razr2. I cannot emphasize enough how convenient it is to be able to listen music and still answer phone calls at the same time. If I am listening to music and get a call, the music automatically is muted and I am given the option to answer the call by pressing the square microphone/button on the headset. Once the call is complete, I press the same button to hang up and a couple seconds later my music automatically resumes, nice! The other big deal about this headset is that it plugs DIRECTLY into the micro USB port on the phone. No hassling with adapters. Motorola did a great job on this headset. Unfortunately most people don't even know/care about this headset and opt for Bluetooth. Personally I think Bluetooth is so over-rated. Nothing beats the supreme quality of a hard-wire connection. Custom fitting the earpieces should best be done by a professional. However I managed to make my own with a plastic product called Shapelock. This plastic is moldable when heated then turns to a hard plastic when cool. A custom fit and proper seal allow these headphones to really shine. What I would really like to do is experiment with soft rubber silicone like they use to make custom motorcycle ear plugs. I think that is the ultimate material. There are many custom earplug vendors at the International Motorcycle Shows every year and some day I may have them custom fit my Motorola earpieces for me. It will be expensive...but nice!

I was looking for a head phone for my new phone and i found this one. My first question was does it support Samsung Flight and it was clearly marked as YES. Well it is NOT.

Motorola S280,

They work fine with my V9. I had to mod the clip but was an easy fix. Sound quality is good.
