I'm comparing TRUE Pros &amp; Cons of "Motorola Elite Flip" vs. "Motorola HX550". Anybody has any opinion? OR "Motorola Boom HX600"?

I have had the following H17, H17txt, HX550, and Elite Flip. I have never had a failure due to the product. I am very hard on headsets and usually end up destroying the microphone on them. I can tell you from experience the H17's so far are the best in every area. The H17txt very close to tie for top. The HX550 have a lower volume that you hear. Only about 60% of what you get from the H17's. The only Elite Flip I had got returned within a week. Everyone I talked to said they could hear themselves like an echo. Also the flip part on the Elite Flip is much wider than the others which keeps it from folding compactly in your pocket. With the H17 and HX550 the flip part folds down and the ear piece you see in the pick will swivel around it making a nice compact item that fits well in your pocket. At the time of this writing you can order the H17 from the Motorola website for $29.99. I am debating on getting it or trying the H19txt now.

360 has hands free blue tooth (small chance that your cell phone is not compatable), 650 has a larger screen. I myself favor the larger screen, it may not seem much bigger but thats my preference. Additionally if your in the hole for $450 might as well go all in for $550 get the 660 with both hands free blue tooth AND larger screen. I just know that while driving I will not be able to afford having a call interrupt my map/directions and would be more comfortable just using the phone directly or use a seperate hands free blue tooth device. Now if you do not feel you absolutly need hands free blue tooth NOR the larger screen, save even more and get the 350 for $350. End with this thought, how much do you use the phone while driving, and how good of a driver are you when talking on the phone while driving, can you multi task manipulating between map/phone functions, and do you want to be doing that. If you really need the hands free functionality then I would recommend thats the way to go and back to the point if your a "salesperson' etc on the go, take the plung and get the 660 with it all.

I too am debating between the 530HCX and the 60CSx. Do you know if the Rino has the same chip set as the 60CSx. I want to get the one that has the better signal, although I think the radio functionality is a plus for the Rino. Your thoughts.Thanks.Ron

Bill,I can vouch for the Flip Ultra that looks good on TV so I would think the HD version looks even better. I was comparing this camcorder with Kodak's new HD Zi6. I think that it can record at 60 frames per second instead of 30. It would be good if anyone has seen a comparison of the two to share on this forum.Mike

I've had the HC-55 almost a year and have been very happy with it. The 58 is not an improvement, just a model with different features. The speaker system and overall sound are exactly the same. The AUX input and BLUETOOTH input are much more useful for us than the Apple-proprietary and non-free features of the HC-58.

Not sure how good the a33 was but the a26 went back. It sounded awful. Much to thin for my enjoyment. I had the q35 as well and returned it as it was too boomy (over emphasized bass). I picked up the UE Boom and am very happy. It has 15 hours battery life vs. the 6 from TDK. I got the Boom 20%off at a local wireless carrier store. I highly recommend not buying the a26. It's cheaper but the sound is pretty bad when compared to similar devices like the jawbone mini.

I am unfamiliar with the HX550. The H730 lets me know through audible reponse, status the device, such as power on and charge level. Also, with any incoming text message I can read it and answer back using only my voice commands. This is a great feature for truly hands free usage.

No idea about Motorola Boom---never had or heard of it, but I'm very happy with my H19txt. I'm not deaf, but I am hard of hearing and wear hearing aids in both ears. When I can I prefer to use my H19txt to make phone calls. I hear MUCH BETTER using it

In my honest opinion, I (being an avid runner / hiker) do not feel that any of the HBS series are good for actual jogging / running. I've owned the 700 and 730 myself. With this being pretty much the same design, the unit tends to bounce around and rotate a little around the neck. If you are willing to pay more, you might want to consider the Jay Bird X. I own those as well and prefer those for jogging / running. The HBS line is more of a everyday (walk / sit) kind of device.

I do own the Audio Technica M50 and it dose have a great impact on the sound. I recently returned the fiio because to me I hear no difference listening through my Galexy S5. The built in DAC in the phone sound good as with the Fiio. To me the only advantage the Fiio has is the built in amp alone. Other then that it sound the same. One thing I notice is that when you use it with the smart phone and listen like Pandora, you will get EMI interfaces from time to time, especially when recieving signal. Again, recommended head phones? M50 OR M50X you will be impressed with the sound. Beats is all cosmetic and its not detailed when it comes to sound quality.

I think the bass is really good. Is not like an over-ear headphone, but I think it is really good. Actually the best I've had considering only in-ears. I listen a LOT of blues and always amp up my bass. I haven't tried the EPH-100 though...

I bought the Altec Lansing BXR1220. I think I only paid $11 a few weeks ago but now they are ~$17. Whatever... great upgrade over the crap speakers on small TVs like the Samsung 22". Powered by the TVs USB so no electrical brick to deal with. Plugs right into the headphone jack and is a huge improvement.

Both are great headphones. Everyone's description is pretty head-on from what I've read. I remember buying the HD280's at target on clearance- I opened them in the car out of excitement. They had REALLY TIGHT bass. The PX100 is more sloppy, but it's a really fun headphone unlike the PX100. I enjoyed it alot for most of my music (Electronica, Rap, Metal, Trance). The bass really hits on the 280's.

The Sony Bloggie Touch blows the Flip away. The quality of the Sony is far superior. I bought one for my Father-In-Law and one for my wife. My wife had a Flip, so I am speaking from hands on experience. Neither one of the Sony units has given us one bit of problems. Don't know why the other person went through ten of them. I tend to think "user error". I'd get one for myself if I didn't already have a larger hand held Canon that cost me like $600.

Just got a Flip Ultra 2 3rd generation. The audio is so loud that it breaks up. I record music videos and my husband records speaking videos and in both recordings I can hear a distortion and almost like a "chatter" behind the audio. Not good.

I agree. I found the G4ME One to be uncomfortable and therefore returned them. I am using a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro's and find them to be extremely comfortable and superior sound quality. They are also open as that is what you really need for an expansive sound stage. I would try the HD 598 and see how they fit and perform. Other than the mic, looking for a quality headset is imperative, not only for gaming, but especially for music, movies, etc. Good Luck

I love my Motorola Boom! I have a small ear and for me it is a perfect fit and comfortable.
