 Great until it died August 27, 2010
Kevin Ambrose (NY)
The Motorola S9-HD headset is absolutely amazing...when it works. I had the previous iteration of this device, the Motorola S9 for a year and a few months (just past the warranty) and it died due to sweat entering the buttons and rendering all but the volume down button useless. Then I was dumb enough to purchase the S9-HDs which were heralded as having fixed the sweat entering buttons issue by rubberizing and recessing the buttons. However, today, a year and 6 months past warranty, the doubly rubberized and recessed buttons have failed yet again due to sweat entering them. I can no longer be the victim of poor craftsmanship and spend $80 every 1.5yrs on headsets from Motorola. I cannot recommend this device unless you are a masochist and enjoy the pain of losing a trasured device. As an aside, the sound quality on this headset is orgasmic and it is great not to have wires everywhere when moving about. However, the sweat issues are quite prevalent (just google motorola s9 or s9-hd + sweat to verify this).
DO NOT BUY!
 SF PLANET ROCKS! August 25, 2010
John P. Cleary (Boston, MA United States)
Although I do like the item, SF PLANET IN Minnesota, seller was a far better experience, they are efficient, kind, understanding, have great products and the customer service is the best I have dealt with, do yourself a favor and anything that you buy, buy from them.
 no wires August 6, 2010
Neil Perlman (Chicago)
using the bluetooth headset for exercise for past 6 months - Very pleased with it. I used to hate hitting the wires on my headset while jogging and have the cord pull out or my IPOD fly off the treadmill. Now I can exercise without worry. Also nice for lifting weights, pushups, situps, etc. Can walk around gym with my iphone on a bench and still listen to music. Downsides are the battery running out if I forget to recharge (does last over 90 minutes) and can not use all the cool features for the iphone (song skip, pause) but volume works fine (all I really use). Have made some phone calls with it but the quality of the microphone is not great. But for what I bought it for it works great with good sound.
Great Headphones small Cons July 20, 2010
C. Karter
I really like these headphones. I have been keeping my eye on them for a while. I go through about 6 headphones a year, and they usually break because they get caught on something.
I use them with my iPhone 4 and find that they work quite well. As of 4.0.1 only the next and back buttons don't work, but those are suppose to work in 4.1.
I use them for running and just lounging about.
PROs
- Nice controls
- light weight
- 6 hour batter gets through most days
- make phone calls as well as listen to music
- comfortable* (smaller ear piece connectors)
- good sound (not amazing, but its wireless)
Small cons:
- Sometimes drops signal in wide open spaces, eg fields (Bluetooth limitation)
- Larger more sound blocking ear connectors are uncomfortable, small ones are very comfortable but do not omit a lot of external noise.
- can bounce a bit when running on rough terrain
Suggestions for sony, make the material (casing, less stiff and more bendable, would assist in bouncing etc), forming ear piece connectors would be better then the multiple different sizes offered.
Good, but could be better. July 2, 2010

At first, I really didn't care for these at all. There were lots of signal drops and I couldn't believe this was how bad a product this was. I tried to return them to the amazon vendor, but they wouldn't take the open package because it had been damaged (you know these annoying form-fit plastic containers that must be totally wrecked to get in them). I decided to keep them an figured out the problem with all the drops was because the headphones were trying to pair with my blackberry and once I got it to stop, they worked fine (mostly). Indoors they work great. Outside, they seem to drop the signal constantly and I won't even use them. But I figured that was not my primary use, so I wrote this problem off.
My biggest qualm is that the bluetooth transmitter connected to my ipod drains the ipod battery fairly quickly and the ipod must be recharged. To do this, you must remove the bluetooth transmitter from the ipod and plug it in and wait for it to charge - I find the time waiting for the ipod to charge to be ideal for listening to music, which I cannot do unless I have a pair of wired headphones. I thin this could be fixed by adding an input to the bluetooth transmitter so you could listen and charge at the same time; however, not knowing the tech spec of these devices, perhaps this isn't possible. What say you, Motorola?
The sound quality sounds muffled to me at lower volumes and I usually have to set my ipod to treble booster or bass reducer. This may just be more of a factor of the ipod and the quality of the recordings I listen to.
The headphones can get a bit uncomfortable after wearing them for awhile (1 hour or more). Perhaps I have small ear canals for the ear buds. Extra varied sized ear-buds would be nice.
I recommend shopping around a bit and if you can "test drive" competing products to see if some of these issues have been resolved by other manufacturers or possibly even Motorola.
