    I just received my Motorokr S9 wireless BT headphones. Paid 82 dollars from Amazon with free shipping. If you get these make sure you change out the default ear cups with other ones included. You will get greater bass/dynamic range. Also read the manual to get the proper passcode so they actually work.. I waisted about a half hour with no sound because I did not put a passcode in.

    After selecting the BT 1420 to add these sets it found them with no problem. It takes about 2 hours to fully charge them with included AC/USB charger. They have touch buttons for next track, volumn, on/off and phone. I don't have a cell phone but you only will hear calls in the left ear (according to other users). Once connected, it will automatically turn off the external speakers. There are a few occasional drops while listening but its tolerable. After changing the cups the sound is sweet. The only issue I see is there is a slight sync issue when watching movies. Its not enough to annoy me too much but if you are picky about that, then this may be a issue. They fit around the ears and the base hangs just behind the neck.. kind of just hanging. Very light and comfortable. I have worn these for a few hours and had no discomfort. Motorola says they will have around 6 hours playback time with longer standbye. The manual says 6hrs music listening and 7 hours of phone talk time. 150 hours of standby time.

    The 1420 does support the advanced features of the S9 so you do get high quality stereo output. Overall I am pretty satisfied and will keep these with my BT Dell travel mouse. Both the BT travel mouse and S9 work together with no issues. If you have a 1520 this may be another option if you want a work around with the noise issue. However, I don't know if that will eliminate the noise but assume it probably would. These are not perfect but are probably one of the better BT solutions on the market today. There are some dropouts and the sync issues that I am seeing/hearing. But the wireless convenience outweighs those limitations for me.
