I was given the Motorola EliteSliver II Bluetooth headset as a gift. The media volume &amp; tone are of poor quality. Any suggestions?

i experienced the same thing, you have to make sure the volume is all the way up on your phone and in a lot of cases take your finger and press on the earpiece for better listening, also the headset is very fragile always keep in charging case when not in use.

For everyone asking about the sound issue, I had this problem and called motorola at 1-888-331-3383 and they sent me a replacement. However the replacement had the same sound issue as well after a few months. I am 2 months out of the warranty and I called them and they said they can replace it one more time. I am kind of disappointing in the failure rate on this unit given that it is so expensive. Hopefully the third one wont have the same defect.

What is the issue? Did you charge it and pair it with your phone? Also did you hold down the button on the ear piece to turn it on? I have received the best feedback on this headset that it gives the best sound back. I really like it!

I'm going to try the bluetooth bone-conducting ones; no cord and hopefully you can hear what's around you as well as your media. I don't expect fidelity to be great though.

Poor quality...buy LG hgb 730 Bluetooth headset w/ ear buds...great sound,connects to two wireless devices simultaneously. I use cellphone while watching movie on tablet or cell. It will pause movie when phone rings! Great for loud industrial complexes,factories, hands free driving ( Caution! Only use One ear bud when driving to listen to road traffic=sirens,horns)

Although it probably depends on the helmet, I can get to controls with the 2 helmets I own. I prefer the controls near my ears as they are with my old motorola headset but for $12 I can live with this :)Regarding complaints about sound quality, I was able to improve this significantly by using better fitting earbud covers than those supplied which we're quite small. Again, what do you expect for $12??

There is a problem with Motorola Bluetooth v3.0 and HD/Analog switching chip-set. During phone calls it will switch from HD output audio to analog and drop microphone signals putting you on mute after a few seconds. On my iPhone 5s with Bluetooth 4.0 had that issue and people complained that they could not hear me.

I found a Jabra headset I like better, but it uses a Jabra quick-disconnect instead of a 2.5mm plug. I bought an adapter cable, and the jabra headset is working just great!

Any blue tooth device but i returned mne because the sound quality on the recipients end was so poor

Yes, I use a high quality AT&T cordless headset. I searched far for it because I couldn't hear well enough on most other headsets. Works fine but sort of a pain because it's really 2 phones but 1 dealer. Worth it to me for the quality hearing.

Hi Donna. Are you looking for improved volume or clarity? You can probably tinker with the sound options on the menu screen. Otherwise, you may want to get what Phil and Rodney suggested - a dedicated sound system.

Can NOT talk and listen to music at the same time which I feel is a big disadvantage. The music is whatever you have paired the headset to. On the Victory motorcycle it required 2 bluetooth dongles to connect to 2 helmet headsets.

Pairing seems not something this equipment is good at. Overall it's pretty bad both for sound comfort and now also pairing. Sorry, same issue here

the bass is very good. but the volume isn't up to par, I'd like them to be louder. I've been looking, the Beats Studio Wireless Over-Ear Headphone. are loud enough but not sure that is the sound that I'd be looking for. I own a pair of V-Moda m 100's and love them. only if they'd make a bt headphones.

Thank you very, very much for all the help. The annoying chime is history, thanks to you. I'm sorry to have taken so long to get back to you, but I will explore the wireless headset option. I already have 2 types of headsets, but no wireless.
