5.0 out of 5 stars Great little BT speaker system!!!
I have a blackberry 8350i Curve (software version 4.6.1.204) with the Nextel push-to-talk feature. I find the EQ7 to have excellent sound quality and range. Set up was extremely easy and it only took me about 1 minute to open the box, plug in power, and connect to my phone using Bluetooth. The hands free phone features work with the push-to-talk and regular phone calls...

2.0 out of 5 stars iTouch doesn't connect
I bought this product primarily as a wireless device to connect my iTouch. The Bluetooth doesn't connect properly. The music continues to fade in and out. I finally gave up. The worst part is that the Motorola online support is horrible and there is no easy way to contact them for support via phone/email. It does work pretty effectively as a speaker phone with my...

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little BT speaker system!!!, June 26, 2009

This review is from: Motorola EQ7 Wireless Hi-Fi Stereo Speaker - Portable speakers (Electronics)
I have a blackberry 8350i Curve (software version 4.6.1.204) with the Nextel push-to-talk feature. I find the EQ7 to have excellent sound quality and range. Set up was extremely easy and it only took me about 1 minute to open the box, plug in power, and connect to my phone using Bluetooth. The hands free phone features work with the push-to-talk and regular phone calls on the 8350i. When I leave my office, I just press the pause button on the EQ7 and walk away. After I return (sometimes +90 minutes), I just press the play button and start the music again. The EQ7 would also work as an excellent conference phone for small groups.

EQ7 Pros:
- easy to set up and use
- uses 4 "AA" batteries for music on the go
- very good sound quality for music and phone, it can play very loud for its size
- affordable price, looks good on your desk
- comes with double 3.5 audio connector if you have mp3 or IPod device. (My blackberry only has a 2.5 connector and adaptors don't work well with the 8350i).
- You can control the music/phone features with the EQ7 or by using the 8350i (volume, track, pause, voice command dialing, pause, play, mute).

EQ7 Cons:
- The music kept cutting in/out every 30-90 seconds when I had my Plantronics Discovery 925 earpiece connected at the same time. I disconnect other Bluetooth devices on my blackberry when using the EQ7.
- The music cuts out momentarily if you are in the process of connecting another Bluetooth device in the same area (Example: when syncing a Bluetooth PowerPoint presenter to a laptop within 30 feet).
- Battery life isn't very long (about 7-9 hours), I changed to rechargeable AA.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pairs perfectly with iPad, July 15, 2010
By D Jones "DP Jones" (Alexandria, VA, USA) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Motorola EQ7 Wireless Hi-Fi Stereo Speaker - Portable speakers (Electronics)
Purchased this primarily to pair with new iPad and secondarily with a bluetooth cellphone. Packaging and quality feel of the unit is excellent. This is not a cheap device. You do pay a bit more for the quality.

It pairs with the iPad perfectly following the easy directions in the owners manual. iPad discovered this device almost instantly and paired with it without inputting any codes. Once paired with the iPad, all audio which normally comes out of the iPad speaker plays through this system. Volume is then controlled by volume controls on this device and not the iPad. Sound quality is far superior to the iPads small speakers and matches or exceeds all portable battery powered speakers I've listened to in its size range. Its small footprint complements the iPad and makes it an ideal traveling companion.

It also pairs with my bluetooth cellphone and allows pairing to both my phone and iPad at the same time. So far, it exceeds my expectations and complements my iPad and cellphone perfectly. Additionally, I also use Apple's wireless bluetooth keyboard with my iPad. The wireless keyboard and this device operate fine together without any disruption or interference to either device.


Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars EQ7 ROKR Rocks!, July 19, 2008
This review is from: Motorola EQ7 Wireless Hi-Fi Stereo Speaker - Portable speakers (Electronics)
This little package is the best thing yet! It sounds great and functions flawlessly with my Moto Q9H. The range is all they say too! Almost makes me want to buy another...just because!
I highly suggest this for anyone that wants to be able to listen to their music, and still be available for the phone. Perfect for the personal office!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great speaker for portable uses, May 25, 2010
By Harry L. Jin (USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Motorola EQ7 Wireless Hi-Fi Stereo Speaker - Portable speakers (Electronics)
I just received this unit and have connected it to my HTC HD2 smartphone and ASUS laptop. Both the music player and Slacker radio worked fine, although the playback controls only work for the HTC music player (probably due to the phone settings)

Linking up was no problem for both speaker usage and handsfree. The effective range seems to be at least as good as my Jawbone headset (> 30 feet).

Feedback from people I have called on my phone said the sound quality was better than my Jawbone headset. The noise and echo cancellation seem OK.

Sound quality was clear and well defined. Bass response is not really present for this small a unit, but adequate for vocals. The volume is more than sufficient for normal listening. Anyone who wants room rattling sound levels should look elsewhere.

The AC adapter is somewhat large, but it does support international voltages so I can take it on trips.

The supplied documentation is sufficient.
The only thing I wish it had was a speaker mute function. It does have a microphone mute function.

5.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't work with the Blackberry Storm., June 26, 2009
By Hoffy50 (Patchogue, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Motorola EQ7 Wireless Hi-Fi Stereo Speaker - Portable speakers (Electronics)
I bought this hoping it would work with my storm, but it doesn't. The phone functions work, but not the music play/skip functions. So, I bought the EQ5, and that one works (although it's not as nice as the sound from the EQ7).

4.0 out of 5 stars Works well except for one flaw, June 25, 2010
By zenderfall (Baldwin Park, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Motorola EQ7 Wireless Hi-Fi Stereo Speaker - Portable speakers (Electronics)
The Motorola EQ7 is a great little portable device, and its better than any I've seen or heard from so far. The four JBL speakers and the miniature sub sound pretty decent for something this small, I actually was not expecting the sound quality to be this good. They can fill a room with very good sound, just don't expect 12" sub bass and you'll enjoy this device a lot.
I've tried using both the bluetooth connection and the headphone jack connection and they both work well.

When connecting, make sure the device you have can play music through bluetooth. Some earlier phones allow for hands-free only but not music playback (even though the phone can play MP3's) After bluetooth connection the Motorola will notify you which options you have by using the lights in the front.

The only drawback I found was the battery compartment. Rather than placing four AA's side by side like most devices with four AA's, this unit has two next to each other and two on top of those. The problem is the springs get in the way so if you pull two hard on the plastic strap to get the batteries out you can end up bending or breaking a spring. They could've done better in that dept.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good sound considering its size., May 1, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Motorola EQ7 Wireless Hi-Fi Stereo Speaker - Portable speakers (Electronics)
Does a credible job filling a room with decent fidelity sound.
Reproducing bass requires power. Four AA batteries last but 2-3 hours before volume lowers and bass distortion kicks in.
Plug unit into wall with included AC adaptor and all is well.
Bottom line: use AC adaptor and save battery power for use when moving unit from room to room or for brief use away from AC.
