I've been using mine for the last three or four weeks while playing racquetball. I play at a pretty competitive level, so the sweat is coming off me pretty good. I've had no problems with the headset at all. My buttons are still working fine.

I have noticed however that the output sound for phone calls is very hard to hear for whoever I call. Most say I sound like I'm talking from inside a deep well or something. This is especially true when I'm in the car (radio off, windows up). Is this a typical call sound quality for a boomless headset?

by GladiusGermanicus September 9, 2008 2:11 PM PDT: So you've had no troubles with the buttons while playing? (I play Racquetball too, so I understand the level of sweating involved) I'm looking into getting one for my birthday, and am looking into possible flaws, but since it's so new it's hard to find feedback (negative or positive).

As for the microphone, I would first check to see if there is anything that might be plugging the hole of the microphone (assuming there is one), and if you can't find anything, I would suggest sending it back to Motorola, since they do advertise it as a music/calling headset and yours isn't working the way it should (I assume).; Like this


by captual October 7, 2008 5:50 PM PDT: Had the S9 and thought since they were 1 year old that is why the battery life was max 2 hrs. Got the new s9HD. Charged with supplied charger as per. instructions. Same bad battery life of max 2.5 hrs. deep cycled battery twice. No help. All tests done while paired with iPhone and listening to music and no cell talking. Battery will not last more than 2.5 hrs while Double paired (cell & ipod or iPhone). Tried pairing with only 1 device at a time (Itouch) only...Now Battery life 4.8 hrs. So it's clear double pairing sucks the heck out of the battery. Yet never near the 6.0 hrs as per Motorola.; Like this Reply to this comment

I have a Motorola S9 Headset but lost my password. Is there a way I can retreive it or use a default password?

by lukemd October 9, 2009 6:11 PM PDT: I plugged in the bluetooth adapter to my iphone (3G) and it said that the device wasn't supported - anyone else have this problem? Also for those that used it for the iPhone (i.e. @captual) how cumbersome was have the adapter plugged into your phone...for starters I can't use my case anymore :(

Anybody have any suggestions?; Like this Reply to this comment
