If your phone supports Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) technology, it makes sense to use a stereo Bluetooth headset for music and calls. Motorola's Motorokr S9 is praised for its music quality, but reviewers say that call quality isn't as strong. The Motorokr S9 has an attractive behind-the-neck design, though it's nonadjustable so some users may find comfort an issue. Reviewers like the easy-to-use controls, but users warn they may stop working if moisture seeps through the buttons during a sweaty workout. An upgraded model, the Motorokr S9-HD (*Est. $100) gets similar complaints. Some users recommend applying a vinyl-based hairspray or silicon paste to the buttons before exercising.

Kent German gives the Motorola Motorokr S9 a high rating for solid music playback and an attractive design. He also praises the touch-sensitive controls. He received good, though not stellar, call sound quality in his tests, but says their voices "sounded harsh and almost robotic" at times.

Tony Zhang says the Motorola Motorokr S9 gives great stereo separation with a full, balanced sound. He tested these with five different phones and generally found call sound quality to be adequate. He admits, though, that the Motorokr S9 may not be comfortable if your head isn't a certain size.

Reviewer "Malatesta" says the Motorola Motorokr S9 gives decent treble and bass, but warns that it will leak sound. This reviewer doesn't give input on call quality but describes the controls as "quite efficient." Though not terribly uncomfortable, "Malatesta" reports tightness around the temples after an hour.

Many owners of the Motorola Motorokr S9 tell of their experiences with this Bluetooth headset. Music and call quality are generally praised. The biggest complaint is that it's not moisture-resistant as advertised, and reception can be spotty, depending on your phone and where you use it.
