Recognizing that, I rip my music from CD's in ogg or 128-bps mp3 to save memory space for use with it, rather than in flac or 320-bps for use with the S805's.
I can believe that studio headphones would sound better, I was only expecting the S9 to sound as good as a $15 wired headphone. It doesn't. And the buttons don't work except for volume.

As for a BT dongle plugged into the audio jack, that is reasonable except again, the call/etc buttons don't work. If I have to pull the IT out of the pocket and find the answer call button and to speak into the mic then having BT serves little purpose except for music.

The best compromise I've found was to pry apart the supplied mic/switch pendent and solder in a wired headphone. Then it sounds good, buttons work, mic works, and the wires are a little less messy.
