Horrible product [Posted on 2008-07-17]
I haven't even expected Motorola product is going to be this much worse. I really had a bad experience with this product.
1. Voice is just okie.. I felt like a hearing a stereo 10 years back recorded voice.
2. I can able to hear only in left ear when I am attending phone call, I don't know this is simply silly. I am having another Jabra BT620, this item is superb but only problem is it is little bulkier..
3. The product is not at all comfortable for wearing.
4. I attended phone call with 10 minutes duration I got pain at my ears. With Jabra 620 I use to attend offshore conference calls in the night around 30 to 60 minutes I never had such kind of bad experience.
Finally I returned item, haven't left with any other choice.
S9--> Bluetooth VS WiFi [Posted on 2008-07-21]
This phone is pretty cool. It doesnt work for me, because I bought it so I could use it to listen to music and game sounds while I play online with my PC... Unfortunatelly I have a WiFi network at home and I was amazed to findout that bluetooth interferes with the wifi... It's rather impressive, once I start listening to music on the S9, my internet connection starts dropping like every 20 seconds so on.
Another thing is that you cant use it to "relax". The part of the phone that goes behind the head is too rigid, and you cant lie down while using it... because if you do so, it becomes unconfortable.
Seens like this phone is aimed towards sports. This is a workout phone to be used with the cellphone or some other mp3 player.
Worked fine while it worked [Posted on 2008-07-21]
I've been looking for a long time to buy Bluetooth stereo headphones for the workouts in the gym - I got tired of having to deal cords that would get tangled up during the workouts or would become a mess in the gym bag. When this model came out I jumped at the opportunity to buy them since they were the first stereo Bluetooth headset with a form factor that is appropriate for wearing in public. (Most of the other ones are too big and just scream "Look at me, I am a dork!") And since I bought them a little over a year ago, I have been extremely satisfied with them - for the most part. Here are a few pros and cons that I have come up with.
Pros:
1. Comfortable enough for a daily workout. Even with my moderately large head, I did not have much of a comfort issue with wearing them every day for a couple of hours. I would not recommend wearing them for more than three hours in a row though. But that would be the case with most headphones anyways.
2. Easy setup. I had no problem connecting them to either my cell phone/mp3 player or my laptop.
3. Decent range. As long as there is an uninterrupted line of sight between the linking device and the headset, you can use them on the other side of a large room or a smaller gym. Comes in handy when working out and don't want anything attached to any part of your body.
4. Decent music playback sound.
5. Decent battery life. For a relatively small device like this one, it was pleasing to find out that it did not have to be recharged more than a couple of times a week with standard use.
6. As a phone earpiece it is useful to have around the head headset because it improves stability a lot. All of my other earpieces fall out of my ears way too easily.
7. Being transferred from the mp3 player to the phone when receiving an incoming call is really useful and cool.
Cons:
1. It would be really useful if these headphones were collapsible. In that case they could be taken with you in your pocket almost anywhere you go. Plus, it would avoid dangers of having them twisted while stored in your bag.
2. Touch-sensitive controls are too sensitive and very, very small. It took me a while to get used to them.
3. The stereo feature works only for music. When using them for calling, only the left earpiece delivers sound, which is sort of weird. This takes some time to get used to.
4. For some reason, when I linked them to my laptop, they got de-linked with my cell-phone. I had to go through the whole process again to have them back in the desired configuration.
Unfortunately, a week ago one of the touch-sensitive controls broke, and now I can't increase the volume. This is really annoying because other than that they still work great. I tried sending them back to Motorola, but apparently they don't fix products that are bought through Amazon, EVEN WHEN THEY ARE BRAND NEW! This is extremely annoying to say the least. I decided to buy a new pair, and found another one on Amazon for $50. (So if at the moment all the available ones are more expensive than that, you may want to wait a bit.) Since this price is about 2.5 times cheaper than what you could get in any AT&T store, it seems to me a worth-while investment. I figured that paying about $50 a year for something that I get to use every day is worth it.
