The Motorola Motorokr S9-HD Bluetooth headphones are designed for those who like to listen to music while working up a sweat, and reviewers are generally impressed with its improvements over the Motorokr S9. The S9-HD's behind-the-ears design places the receiver in a band behind the head, and adds new features like 3-D surround sound and high-definition acoustics (hence the HD suffix). Rubberized control buttons help prevent the S9-HD from malfunctioning when exposed to sweat or other moisture, a problem frequently reported with the S9 model. The S9-HD headphones come in black or white, and reviewers voice few complaints about their style or sound quality. However, there is significant concern about the fit of these headphones. Since they can't be adjusted, critics warn that they might not be comfortable for everyone. Also, some report that the Bluetooth connection isn't completely reliable.
We found good reviews of the Motorola Motorokr S9-HD headphones from professional testers at CNET and PCMag.com. Blog-style reviewers at WMExperts.com and Treonauts.com. also provide insight. Amazon.com users weigh in with a significant amount of feedback too.

Nicole Lee praises the Motorola Motorokr S9-HD's comfort and design, saying that audio quality is very good. However, she notes that the S9-HD "can feel unwieldy when exercising or working out," and the Bluetooth connection has a tendency to drop off, depending on how the source device is positioned.

Jamie Lendino calls the Motorola Motorokr S9-HD headphones "a solid effort" and an improvement over past Bluetooth headsets. Sound is good overall (though the treble range is "overly bright"). Lendino finds the headset reasonably comfortable, even if the headband design restricts his head movements.
