Customer Reviews

Great idea, bad product
If you just want this to listen to music when you walk around, it's a great idea for a product. But if you sweat, don't waste your money. Within two weeks the buttons stop responding and then it's over. Sound quality for calls is also poor in general. This thing is marketed as a sport headset, but after going through the death and exchange of three of these, I gave up and got my money back from Motorola (after an hour on the phone with CS reps). Again, don't waste your money on this.

Great product, short life span (1.5 years)
I've had this headset for over a year. I've been using it with my phone as a hand-free headset and as a stereo headset. I also used it with my computer to make phone calls with Skype but mostly as a mic with a speech recognition software. Speech recognition requires a quality microphone and the S9 really delivered beautifully; I used to wear it around my neck and talk for hours until the battery was drained.

The problem is that after less than two years, the battery died for good. I called Motorola and I was told that the battery is not replaceable and they usually replace the whole unit when it dies. But since my headset was over one year old, they can't do that.

That's too bad because the headset is really good but it'll only work for a little over one year and then it's useless.

Highly recommended!
Pros:
1. Price Bulk Packaged $42
2. Works perfectly w/ AT&T Tilt (calls & stereo bluetooth)
3. Lightweight, forget I have them on.
4. Intuitive controls (media player & phone)
5. Battery life

Cons:
1. A little tight on the my head (will squeeze sunglasses if your wear them). I think I have a somewhat normal sized noggin.
