Apple’s to-do list of updates. Hopefully.<\/a> We’ve got it all except the FF\/REW buttons: pause, volume and phone answer all work ok. Shure, you never gave me volume and that’s why I strayed I guess. The S9-HD’s microphone is a bit hush and picks up all sorts of ambient noise since it’s not near your mouth, but when a call comes in you are able to switch, onscreen, between headphones, speakerphone or handset. Nifty intuitive coding!<\/p>\nOn the iPhone part of this threesome, running the Bluetooth tuckers out the battery pretty fast. I drained it within 4 hours of near constant use with just WiFi turned off (I’m on a year old iPhone 3G). I have charged the phone three times since getting the S9-HD and the headset only once. Curious glitches turn up when playing a couple games – I was getting both game sounds and iPod functions on a couple apps which wasn’t happening with you, Shure earbuds. And of course, I experienced a frozen screen once but I chalk that up to a poor, overloaded processor.<\/p>\n
I think S9-HD and I are going to have a long happy relationship. If you see us on the street, please don’t be jealous, Shure. We had a good run.<\/p>\n
Update: <\/strong>With the iPhone 3.1 update, nothing has changed. Still no FF\/REV, just pause, volume and rudimentary phone functions (did you know if you click and hold the phone button, it will automatically call the last number dialed? Who knew?)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Good bye Shure, no longer will I drag your brick-heavy microphone\/operations dongle around, making my earbuds slip out of my head at the slightest movement.
