Content: I love these headphones for working out. I don't love the fact that I have destroyed 2 of them already.

It took some doing to get them to pair with my computer due to my Vista 64 OS and getting the right WIDCOMM Bluetooth stack.

After about 3 weeks, the controls start tweaking out, the fast-forward and rewind activate even when not pushed; after about 4-5 weeks, the audio starts to decrease even with the volume maxed out. I work out for 2-3 hours, 5-6 days per week and I think this is causing the moisture to penetrate the electronics. This is the 2nd pair that has followed the same timeline.

Summary: Going on pair #3 ~ Not sweat resistant at all!

Content: Worked OK for about 6 mo. then wouldn't charge. Called support they said, send it back. Packed up everything, headset, charger, manual, in orig. box, sent it back. They send back headset only, no charger, can't charge. Call support again, they say, sorry, will send charger 2nd day express - three days ago.
Meanwhile, charge headset using USB from computer which they say not to do, although charger has a USB plug. Works for 5 to 40 minutes then dies.

Content: These were purchased for the purpose of exercising in, which I'm sure is the reason most people purchase them. They're pretty pricey and are great until...you sweat! Then the volume stops working right, among other things. So my suggestion for any future purchaser would be, PLEASE don't waste your money unless you intend on keeping them 100 percent dry ALL the time.
Summary: Don't SWEAT in them!

Content: This product is absolutely false advertising. One of their product features described on Motorola's website for S9:
--> Water and sweat resistant

I bought this item for the main purpose of working out and it was a complete disappointment. I already own a Motorola HT820 for years and I've had no problem using it during my workouts and runs. The only thing that is somewhat anoying with the HT820 is the fact it's a little bulky on the ears when running. When the S9 came out and I saw this *sweat resistant* feature, I decide to get it. Boy was I wrong in making that decision. It was fine working with my laptop and my phone without doing any activity. I then went on for a long run and I was sweaty. Guess what - The headset's volume went all the way down to min and I had no way to adjust it upward. All my volume buttons were completely broken (shorted out). Pressing on them would not yield any result. After spending a lot of time thinking that it was my phone and tried to fix my phone, I tested with bluetooth from my laptop and I came to conclusion that something was wrong with the S9. I started googling around and sure enough, I found numerous other users having the exactly same issue:

So bewarned: Sweat and your headset is gone. Don't even think about the rain.

I had no doubt that if I contacted S9 and got another pair, I would have run into the exact same problem since other people tried that solution already and nothing was better after getting their 2nd or 3rd pair.

Motorola. Fix the product feature description to reflect what your product can really do!



Summary: **NOT** designed for active users

Content: I bought these because they were the highest rated Bluetooth headphones on CNET and a few other electronics sites, but they fall short of my expectations. I'm pairing mine with a Motorola RAZR V3xx phone so there should be no compatibility issues. If this is the best available I would wait for the next generation before I would consider buying any Bluetooth headphones

The Good:

* Sound quality and range are excellent.

* They are light weight

* Battery life

The bad:

* They fit don't well. All the reviews said people with big heads have problems, but I have a average to small size head and they didn't fit me well either.

The Ugly:

* It is impossible to resume play after receiving a call, pausing on the handset (pausing on the headphone control works), and sometimes after last song in playlist is played. In all of these situations the sound cuts out erratically until I turn off the headphones, turn them back on, and allow them to reconnect to the handset. I thought my headphones were broken, but Motorola person I called said this behavior was normal.

Summary: Fail: Wait for the next version
