Motorola MOTOROKR S9 Stereo Bluetooth Headset

Last time I reviewed Motorola’s S805 DJ-style Stereo BT headset and gave it high marks for quality, performance, and battery life although the form-factor of the headset (large, over the ear) may be off-putting for some. Along comes the Motorola MOTOROKR S9 headset ($79.95) with a much smaller profile perfectly suited for exercising or the daily commuter. The S9 has a noticeable slimmer build than the DJ-style, making it ideal for those who travel daily on a train, go for a morning jog or mild recreation activities. The build of the headset is quite nice with a somewhat rubbery feel (much like that rubber paint on many new phones) and weighing in at a very light 1.14 oz. Motorola reports them also as being “sweat and water-resistant” and while I did work-out with them with no problems (yes, geeks do exercise) I’m not sure how water resistant they really are (note: “water-resistant” is a lot less than “waterproof”).
