What's up with the Modal Bluetooth Headphones?

I really want to like these headphones, but I'm on my second pair in two weeks and I'm trying to decide if I should keep trying or just throw in the towel and get another brand. I love the way they fit, they're easy to configure and have good sound. But both of the pairs I've tried have stopped working within a day. What happens is for a few seconds, the sound starts to break up, and then they won't. turn. off. No matter what I do.  They have a small power button that, when on, displays a steady blue light. You usually only have to hold it down for about two seconds, but if that doesn't work, well, what do you do? They just won't turn off, which means I can't reset them. There's some discussion on this issue in the forum for the product on Bestbuy.com, but the only solution I've seen is to take them back and get another set. I just want a pair that I know is going to work!

I would tend to think if it happened once that you just got a bad one.
But when it happens twice.
Side note.  I used to sell computers.  Someone called me that I sold a system to all made because they got it all set up and it would not turn on.
Long story short they didn't plug it in.  They got even madder at me.
Since then ever since trying to help troubleshoot I try and phrase the easy answers that way.  Hee Hee.
I have Sony Headphones and I am very happy with them.  I think it is this model.  
Model: MDRZX330BT/B

  • Has anyone tried to pair the Tzumi bluetooth headphones to their iMac?  My iMac will detect the device, connect to it for about 2 seconds, then shows a status of "not connected".  Multiple attempts get the same result.

    Edge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
    I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions.

  • Recommendations for over the ear bluetooth headphone

    Hello. Does anyone have recommendations for over the ear bluetooth headphones to be used for my Mac Pro? Thanks!

    I recently got a set of Insignia NS-BTHDP I am quite happy with. They synced up no problem with the internal bluetooth and work nicely. I had an older set (Jensen WBT212) that didn't work as well but were functional that these replaced.

  • What to do with the CPU whine?

    I have a Core 2 Duo 2,16Ghz White Macbook bought a month ago. It has the infamous CPU (or logic board) whine - which Apple aknowledged on their MacBook Pro line. I have gone to the local Apple dealer where they said yes it whines but that Apple hasn't issued any orders as to what to do with the whine so try to put up with it... not very nice actually.
    The Macbook whine behaves almost identically to the Macbook Pro whine, so you can minimize it using PhotoBooth and some other programs. And using a Apple Might Mouse Bluetooth also takes the whine away (because the cpu is less idle).
    How can i get rid of the whine (high pitched noise-buzz)?

    I've seen quite a number of posts on the whine from various manufacturers. HP has actually posted a BIOS update to address the problem (at a significant cost to power management):
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericDocument?docname=c00965412&cc=us&dlc=e n&lc=en&jumpid=regR1002USEN
    As the MacBooks (and MacBook Pros) don't have a BIOS, Apple would have to push out an EFI firmware update. I would certainly prefer that if they go this route, they give you an option in preferences to either enable or disable the power saver features.
    Here is another comment referencing the whine other machines:
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=103747 (Toshiba, Sony, and HP)
    Unfortunately... I don't see any easy fix to this. I would imagine it is possible that some logic boards may exhibit the problem to greater or lesser degrees, but there would be no way to guarantee that replacing the logic board would result in a machine with less whine.

  • Does anyone know what's up with the iPhone 4s' battery life? Some days it last a long time and other days it drains extremely fast.

    Does anyone know what's up with the iPhone 4s' battery life? Some days it last a long time and other days it drains extremely fast.

    Not to point out the obvious, but battery life depends very much on what is running and how much the device is being used.
    If the battery lasts longer on a day you make no phone calls, but lasts less the day you make 5 hour long calls, this is to be expected.
    If however the iPhone has the same level of use on both days, with different power consumption, this would infer a background process (or App) is trying to do something (connecting to server or creating a back up etc).
    I switched off all thrid party apps from being included in my iCloud backup, which saves a huge amount of space on the cloud and allows the back up to take barely a couple of minutes.
    Battery life seems ok so far on my 64GB 4S (Bluetooth on, Wi-Fi on, Location Services on, Push notifications on, Screen set to just under half brightness with Auto Adjust on)

  • I have no idea what to do with the payments for stuff I bought on iTunes.

    Ok I had a card from a rebate atatched to the account and it has just expired. Now itunes wants me to pay from a different card for the things I bought in the week before it expired. I had the amount needed to pay for what i bought on the rebate card and bought my last thing before the card expired because i thought it would be stupid to let the money go without actually using it. I was looking today (it expired overnight) at itunes and now its saying i need to pay for them because the have not been pasyed for yet or something like that and i need to update the billing adress but i cant and dont want to one because i dont want to pay for something i had already had the money to pay for and they didnt charge me on it or something and 2 because i dont have another card to use bc i do not have a credit or checking or any card bc other than the rebate card i only have cash. sorry my question is so long but thank you for all the help you people can give me. ps i cant even get a card bc im 15

    The rebate card that my mom let me use was after they had bought a new phone and try had let me have what was left on it 7.92 and it counted as a visa credit card so I could use it to activate my account the problem is that I bought the stuff before it expired and it is now expired and it's sayin I still need to pay for what I bought with the old card and I don't want to pay twice for the same things that's just stupid I'm goin to get a gift card for the lowest amount so I can still get the free stuff but I don't think I should be responsible to pay for something thy I bought with a card that had the money on it for them to charge bc they debt send out the bill to them when I got the stuff bc there is stuff on it for like Monday saying I need to pay for it when the card didn't even expire till Thursday night

  • What's wrong with the activation server? i just bought my ipad wifi celllular... and have a 3g cellular network connection... when i press the bottom to activate my ipad it says the activation server cannot be reached. what to do then?

    Hey aries35,
    I found the following that goes over troubleshooting the same issue for the iPhone. I know you have an iPad, but the steps should still apply:
    Perform the following steps:
    Restart the iPhone.
    Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
    Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
    Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
    Restore the iPhone.
    If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.

    5
    java.io.IOException: Address already in use: Cannot bind 2
    which means there is error in :
    mgr.initialize(localAddr);
    mgr.addTarget(destAddr);
    But i don't know what's wrong with the code,
    can any one help me?

    I do not find any problem using the same ports for local and destination address with several unicasts. My problems are others.
    But note that the error is even at constructing the localAddress, I mean before trying the destinationAddress. Thus the reason cannot be the former is already in use. In fact I think the later belongs to a remote hosts. Likely, it is trying to access the destinationAddress through the localAddress, but this has not been constructed properly.

    Léon Hoeneveld's response works for me.  You will need to download a tool that allows you to edit the WSDL and reorder the values. 
    I've used a freeware tool like notepad++  collapsed all the levels and opened up the <wsdl:definitions xmlns:wsdl... segment and reordered the subgroups beneath it accordingly.
    1. types

    3. portType
    4. binding
    5. service
    Thanks again Léon!

    You wouldn't want bad people to send you spam messages for the rest of your life, eh?
    Moderator Advice:
    If this is the same E2900 that you have mentioned in every one of your other forum posts, then it would seem you need to contact Technical Support and open a proper support request. These forums are NOT techsupport and that system seems so poorly configured that it needs deep analysis. Such investigation cannot be done by using an online forum.
    The immediate solution is to log on to the SC of that box and power it down, then boot it back up. At least it will be running after that.
