Motorola Motorokr S9-HD Bluetooth Stereo Headset

I had been looking for some kind of wirless stereo headset for my iPod Touch and my Blackberry Curve. I came across the second generation Motorola headset S9-HD (first gen was the S9). I have been impressed with the quality and the ease of use and set up. The buttons on the side are easy to navigate. If you carry our phone and or iPod with you there is rarely any inerruption in sound. However, if you leave your devices and walk around your house there is the technical limits of bluetooth. For iPod Touch I got a sony bluetooth adapter, that is easy to use as well and you can actually have the headset connect to the iPod for music and the phone for calls. If you get a call the headset rings and you can take the call. When finished you can go back to listening to the music. I have not found them to be uncomfortable, it was a matter of finding the best placement on my head. I have a bit of a larger head, but I can wear them for long periods without a problem. The call quality is very good, it isn’t like a wired set, but I have been impressed in that I can carry on a conversation and the person I am speaking with on the other end has no problem hearing me. The headset has been better than two other devices I have used, but then again, this headset was more expensive.
Summary – if you are looking for a great bluetooth stereo headset to work with multiple devices (or single device) and good call quality – I would encourage you to buy the Motorola S9-HD.
As an FYI the sony adapter is model TMR-BT8iP

Title says it all…I just upgraded my iPhone 3G to os 3.0 … re-synced the headset and just like magic; stereo sound! Works great for making phone calls too!

Let me start of by telling my little headache with this product. I purchased it as a combo with the motorola bluetooth adapter for ipod only to come to the horrible truth that the transmitter did not worked with my ipod touch 2nd gen. I had to go back and buy the sony TMR-BT8iP (Black) adapter. This definitely fixed the problem for $50 more. Now the good one. I heard from a friend that it was possible to use to head set with my computer to stream music and use any VoIP application like skype. I again started the search in Amazon and found a USB Bluetooth adapter for $5! And guess what? It worked perfectly. I originally purchased this product because I got tired of breaking regular headphones in my ipod like if there where $1 a piece. Problem solved. No more cables tangled in the weights at the gym and an extra gift, a head seat for my VoIP calls. The sound is amazing. And yes like other reviews said they are only one size fits some. I wear a size 7 3/8 hat and these headphones fit perfectly on me. I hope that you find these review helpful.

Overall this is a great product. Bought the package (headphones with Ipod adaptor) to use with my Iphone with the specific intent of using it for my workouts. I got it as a gift for myself in Dec 2008 and the buttons finally stopped working this week. Now all I can do is lower the volume. Anyway, basically the headset is awesome. It was one of the best investments I’d ever made for working out. I was able to move around without the wire, no tangles, good signal, no problems. I workout practically daily. So i’d say that since December the headset has been used daily for about one and a half hours and recharged every night. I tried to use it with my mac but the sounds quality wasn’t as good and sometimes I had connectivity issues and could not get the mic to work… it’s possible that it works better with the USB adaptor but I just found out about this while reading the reviews. The fit is good, not excellent or bad, just average. A bit difficult if you are doing bench press or laying on your back to do any exercises since they wrap around the back. Oh, and they do a pretty good job of canceling outside noise, at least better than the average headset.
Bottom line is, they are a great buy, but don’t expect them to last very long under heave use. If I was in the States I would buy another pair, but working in Algeria makes the whole exchange/warranty/purchasing a bit more difficult so still thinking about it.

I had high hopes for this headset. I had 2 of the older S9s and eventually gave up trying to get it working and felt cheated by Motorola, but as I needed a new BT headset to use for running I thought I would give the newer S9-HD a try. Well 1 run, and only sweating a bit, not overly heavy, and the buttons do not work properly. This is just another piece of junk from Motorola. DO NOT BUY if you plan to use for exercise at all it is a poorly designed waste of money.

Jogging is good for fat-burning, but sprinting really is best for placing your body into a catabolic state during which muscle is created and fat is burned.
