Motorola S9-HD adds high-def audio and more comfortable, noise-canceling ear buds on top of MOTOROKR S9

During the CES, Motorola (NYSE: MOT) has announced its latest Bluetooth headphones – S9-HD. Like the previous model – S9 – the new headphones keep the same (or at least very, very similar) shape, but also include the high-definition audio support, as well as ear buds that reduce background noise and improve comfort.
The way I see it, and I’m far from the audio expert, the S9-HD improve the single area that lacked in the original S9 (which I love BTW) — the quality of sound. Now, thanks to the high-definition acoustics from SRS WOW HD technology, even the audiophiles among us should be happy!
Want it? Sure you do. You’ll just have to wait for the Q2 2008, when the American handset maker said the new headsets will hit the streets.
Hopefully they will have also fixed the design flaw in that although the S9 headphones are touted as for the “active lifestyle” and said to be moisture and sweat resistant, one mediocre workout and the touch-sensitive buttons no longer work.
ok guys,
i just purchased the s9-hd and used it all weekend. I had the old s9 for 2 years so i’m hip to the deal with this product – plus i’m a tech. Its really good. better than the old one by a significant amount. My friends say that they can hear me very well in convos, and no more background noise. The voice comes through in both ears now, the s9 was only left ear – so i’m psyched. I AM worried still about the touch controls though and very apt to leave them alone and only use the phone for adjustments. I dont feel like buying another one of these next year. Also I keep it in a plastic bag in my workout bag… i’ll be damned if i get these puppies wet and wreck the unit. so – all my peeps – that’s what i got for ya. It cost me $150 all told, so i’m spreadin the love. Just be careful, I don’t trust it yet but it DOES ROCK.
I just find a store sell this product very cheap: http://www.yopool.com/motorola-s9hd-bluetooth-stereo-headphones-p-35.html
