User reviews

  Bluetooth headset, 2009-01-06
Great product. Sound is fantastic and range from my phone is impressive. Would like to see a little revision for over the ear piece. Sometimes slips and the earpiece comes away from my ear.

Would recommend.

  iPhone Not!!! Come Apple, Open up, 2008-12-28
Motorola MOTOROKR S9 Bluetooth Stereo HeadphonesMotorola S9 Stereo Bluetooth Headset [Bulk Packaged]Motorola MOTOROKR S9 Bluetooth Active Headphones [Motorola Retail Packaging]I actually think this product is pretty good. Great design--eye candy. Good fit. Too bad Apple is so non compatible with lots of devices. The set does not work with iPhone for music or pod cast, etc. I'm told that it will work with an adaptor--well I don't want an adaptor, another gadget I have to drag with me? I'm also told that it will work for phone calls, but who cares.

I just got mine the other day and I now I have to return it. This is costing me money with zero reward.

For iPhone, i rate this a zero. But that is not Motorola's fault. The device actually is well designed, light, and no cord to get tangled into while riding my bike or walking through the mall or getting in and out of the car.

S9--I rate it a four on design and comfort. I rate Apple, a zero on compatibility.

Apple, get it together. Please.

  A product you will love to hate, 2008-12-09
The Motorola S9 headphones are a product you will love to hate. I purchased these headphones primarily for the following reasons:

* I am a frequent exerciser. I wanted a pair of lightweight wireless headphones that I could use while running or while exercising at the gym.
* I am a city dweller who wanted a pair of headphones that were simple and manageable. I don't want to untangle earbuds. I also want headphones that travel easily.
* As a secondary concern, I wanted to use the headphones to make phone calls.

There are several pluses for this headphone. First, there is the intrinsic cool factor. They are very light and hardly noticeable. You can listen to any device that is Bluetooth enabled. I purchased the Sony transmitter for my Ipod Nano and had great success using the Ipod with it. The ability to change tracks and adjust volume using the headset is very cool. Second, the sound quality is reasonable, so long as you are not expecting high-end sound.

In spite of those pluses, there are several drawbacks. First and foremost, the biggest drawback are the bugs. The first pair of headphones I owned worked fine for a few months, but then the volume controls failed to operate. Because volume is controlled natively, this effectively rendered the headphones inoperable. Motorola sent me a replacement pair of headphones, but the replacement pair shorts-out with great frequency (maybe every 20 minutes or so).

Second, the headphones are primarily headphones, not a headset. If you are looking for a headset first, I would discourage this product. I have tried talking on the phone with these headphones, and the other person said I sounded like I was speaking on a speakerphone. It was almost impossible to communicate outdoors in windy conditions.

Third, I find the maximum volume output to be less than ideal. While the maximum output is sufficient for normal environments, I can find it difficult to hear audio when in loud environments--buses, trains, and planes--and when running, especially when it is windy. The paradox is that these are precisely the environments where people intend to use this ultra-portable, sleek pair of headphones.

Conceptually, these headphones work well. But, in practice, there are too many significant drawbacks to merit purchasing at this time. I would wait for a later, improved version.

  A Little Dissappointed...Disposable Headphones!, 2008-12-02
I was very exited to get this headset brand new on EBay for just $40. It is the only bluetooth stereo headset that I could find that was moisture resistant and would not impede my workouts with over-the-ear earphones. I was immediately dissapointed to find that my older Blackberry 8100 pearl did not support stereo bluetooth, but after a couple of weeks I finally found out that by downloading the newest OS to the device made it work properly. It connected well and was ready to use.

This device has a lot going for it- sound quality is quite good. I am a very persnickety audiophile, and the lows were ample enough for most tastes, the highs fairly crisp and the volume was enough. Nothing amazing, but good enough to listen to for long sessions and not get tired.

The controls work pretty well- it is so nice and convenient to go forward and back or pause a song from the headset itself. the volume up and down buttons as well as the forward/back buttons do not have a very positive "feel" to them, but the headphones respond with a "beep" tone when they are pressed.

They are reasonably comfortable, but I can see the dilemma other users have had- this is just not made for larger heads.

The battery life is very impressive. I can go to the gym and use these headphones for 6 hours or more at full volume before they poop out. Not a bad deal for $40, but I couldn't see spending the $130 or so that Motorola was asking when they first arrived.

Now for the bad. Do not buy these headphones if you want to use them to talk on the phone!!! I do not know how some reviewers were able to take calls on this headset while being mindful of other people. You really have to speak up for anybody to hear you.

After a couple of weeks, the headphones would suddenly skip forward from track to track, and I would have to turn them off and back on to remedy it. No doubt due to the moisture, so I started wiping them off intermittently to prevent the glitch. This seemed to work for a while.

After a couple of months, the volume turned itself all the way down on me and would not turn back up. Nothing has worked to bring them back to life, and the low volume has rendered them useless.

I will buy another pair but will not spend more than the $40. $30 is more what they are worth, but until somebody comes out with a higher quality stero bluetooth in ear headset that it truly resistant to sweat, I'm stuck. Consider these headphones disposable, and try to make them last as long as possible. With my next pair, I am going to try to run a small bead of clear silicone around the controls to see if that helps.

No wonder Motorola is tanking. These phones are hard and hurt the ears and do not work with most bluetooth sets, even those made by Motorola!!!
