Motorola s9 and Ipod function on Iphone

[Rip]

Yes, they are great and being able to connect to 2 devices is cool.

Things to be aware of:

The buttons are a bit fiddly until you get used to them.
The microphone quality could be better, but is acceptable.
If you are wearing them and lean back against the couch and the band touches something you'll get a break in sound.
The newer S9-HD are, apparently, much better on sound quality.
Beware eBay conterfeit ones that seem cheap. I bought a second pair after being pleased with my full rpice store bought ones and they were clearly counterfeit and sucked big time! Pretty good copy though, just small moulding details gave them away. I did get my money back.

Clayton, that review was outstanding! Your editing and such rivaled anything I've seen on CNET. Thank you for the review, I actually ordered 2 pair(me & my wife) of the S9-HD model, looking forward to being wire-free when listening to music.

Thanks again and nice job bro!

I just upgraded from the red/black S-9 to the S-9HD and loving them. The solid black looks allot better, the signal strength seems allot better(i can now put my iphone in my from pocket and walk without skipping), and the music quality is better than all but the most expensive wired models in my opinion. Wireless music will never be as good as wired but I am just saying these are better quality sound then any wired headset less than $100.

dwest, thanks a bunch. I mainly got them for running at the Gym, can't wait to be free of all those damn wires. The reviews seem to be mostly positive and I thank you for your thoughts!

Thanks for the props! I'm always trying to make my videos interesting and informative. I'm trying to get my videos as short as possible with the most amount of info.

Hey, I'd like to work for CNET! I dunno about relocating to San Francisco but I'd fit in. I'd be the next Asian iPhone geek there!

I made a video of the problems I've been having (and others have too) with the Motorola S9 and some workarounds. Plus, I got this cool bag to protect the S9.

Clay, once again, great video!
I received my Motorola S9-HD from Amazon ($68), so far it works great. I have not experienced any of the issues you mentioned. I'm not sure if maybe I just haven't had it long enough for those issues to occur, or maybe the "HD" version isn't prone to these issues. The sound quality is really good. I was originally a little dissapointed with the volume level but I changed the profile on my 3G S under iPod settings to "Spoken Word" and it actually increased the volume level considerably. Also, phone calls are in stereo!
Thanks for your update and I will report back with any issues.

Wow! That's amazing! I wonder how much of the differences can be attributed to the newer S9-HD and the newer 3G S?

I might want to inquire with Motorola to see if they'll send me a review mode for the S9-HD. I have to admit, my first video was received surprisingly well on YouTube. I think many realize there's this new iPhone function but are quesy about spending $100+ for it.

I'm glad your purchase worked out well. I heard the audio quality of the S9-HD is much better than the S9. I'm also surprised that calls are received in both ears. It's the first stereo BT headset that does that so far.

I just bought one of those on ebay for $25 from a company in China. They said Motorola S9, but how good are my odds that this is legit, and not counterfeit? I haven't received it yet, BTW.
