 "very disappointing" 2009-10-20
By video novice (Lexington, KY USA)
Decent enough headphones, while they lasted. It took the better part of 6 months, but there is now no sound in the left channel, thanks to a problem where the wire meets the base of the jack. It is very frustrating to have to replace them already. They didn't stay in my ear all that well, either.

 "You can find basically the same headset for $5 elsewhere on Amazon" 2009-10-18
By Nom de Guerre (Castro Valley, CA USA)
I purchased these and a pair that cost less than $5, both from Amazon. I can't really tell the difference, which makes these a massive rip-off. Both work as headsets with microphones for Blackberry Bold and iPod Touch. Go with the bargain version.

 "Indestructible" 2009-10-01
By Ray Stoecklin (New York, NY United States)
I'm outing myself: I'm a headphone abuser. The original Apple lasted a couple months until they fell apart, and the Skullcandy replacements broke after a week. But these - I've had them for a year and every day, I've been tossing them into my gym bag (with the shoes and all), and stuffing them into my trousers. Last week - which is why I felt compelled to post a review - I accidentally WASHED them on cold cycle and they still work!



These are isolating headphones. Once you get used to the "stethoscope" feeling of hearing your own breathing more, these headphones are great to listen to music at lower sound levels in noisy environments such as going to work on the subway. I also find them great for the office to tune out those coworkers who never learned to close their mouths while eating. Sound- wise, I find them fine after setting the iPhone EQ to "Bass Reducer".



This set is actually not the greatest to use for hands- free calling. For starters, the microphone seems to be a tad worse than the original Apple's, plus the isolation effect makes it a bit uncomfortable to talk - now I know how it must be to be hearing impaired, when you speak but can't hear your own voice. Still, it's nice to have a microphone to quickly take that call as well as for voice control with the new 3gs.

 "Another unhappy user" 2009-09-24
By ActivistScholar (Cambridge, MA)
I made my purchase based on user reviews, so I was hopeful.



However, the first drawback was that even with the smallest ear sleeve, these did not fit into my ear canal. Consequently, they never delivered the kind of sound quality promised and fell out of my ear with regularity. And I lost one of the ear sleeves the first day and had to purchase replacements (that were not the same as the original equipment) from Radio Shack. I thought, okay, I'll deal with the not really fitting in my ear dilemma.



While I like the way that the cord wraps behind the head, it really needs a clip because like others, I was constantly catching the cord on something. I finally used a small binder clip (or paperclip) to attach to my bra strap which helped. Still, this is a design flaw that could be easily remedied.



But I haven't even owned them for a month and the right speaker is out. So they are trash as far as I'm concerned. I'm going to try and get a partial refund or something, but assume this is just money down the drain.



If you have small ear canals (and I don't think mine are abnormal or anything), these are not a good choice. And, based on my experience, the production quality seems to be inconsistent as some users have no trouble and I'm one of the ones who did.

 "Great while it lasted" 2009-09-23
By Chris M. Schock (Parker, CO)
I had these for a little over 3 months before I can no longer get reliable sound from the left earbud. The bud itself is fine, the problem is the plug. Other headphones and buds in the same device work fine. It's very frustrating to know that the buds are perfectly intact, yet I cannot use these because a $1 plug doesn't make good contact. For this reason, I simply can't recommend them.



The pros are that they had pretty good sound quality, they did not sound tinny or screechy in my ear. Decent bass. The buds cut out sound very well, great for airplanes, cars or anywhere with a lot of ambient noise. The mic and button also worked pretty well - more reliably than the stock apple earbuds which seem to always require a spin or two in the jack before they work. Mic quality was at least as good as the stock apple earbuds, but I didn't buy them to talk.



The primary con is that they are built cheaply and did not last long. For starters, there is no strain relief where the cord meets the plug, so it's extremely easy to kink the cord. The wires leading to the buds themselves are also very thin, making them more prone to knots and tangles.



Other things that people may find annoying are that the mic and pushbutton are on the left side, opposite of the stock apple earbuds. Also, any rubbing or bumping of the cord transfers to your ear with loud booming noises - you aren't going to want to do anything vigorous while wearing these. Forget jogging. The cord to the left earbud is much shorter than the right, so any tension on the cord is only felt in one ear. Sennheiser tried making the mic and pushbutton more bullet shaped, but it still constantly catches on shirt collars, pockets, seatbelts, lanyards, etc. and creates loud noise in your left ear, pulls your earbud loose, or both. The pushbutton is the only useful component, the mic will probably not matter since most folks will not want to talk with these in (extreme vibrational feedback).



My suggestion is to get a cheaper pair of earbuds, particularly if you don't need the pushbutton on the cord.

 "Some problems but HAPPY in the end" 2009-10-10
By Arvid Ellendersen
Well i wanted a nice hands free set and i have owned the ER-6 series and i have to say thy are very alike except the mic, and that the jack is straight insted of 90 degree angle, witch will be fixed soon. Where my problems started was right out of the box. But the service form both amazon and etymotic was AWSOME! The left side did not work, so was pissed off since i needed them for a flight. It is uncommon for it to happen but, everyone is human so we make mistakes... i called Etymotic and told them of the problems, they said they have had some problems with the jack and the the problem was being addressed, so if i sent them my they would send me the new and improved version back. But i wanted them today , so i called amazon and told them of the problems and since i was calling on a friday afternoon, next day delivery was unlikely.... after sitting on hold for a while to see if he could get me next day delivery. i thought to my self id rather not have any problems with the next pair since it could happen. so i decided to send it to etymotic to get the new version and get a pair of ER-4 fixed the same time. I had discussed this with the service manager earlier and she told me it would be $85 to fix them, and after debating it while on hold with Amazon. i went for fixing both of them. I called back the service manager and we set everything up and i asked her how much but she did a really cool thing and fixed my Er-4 for free and since i was out of the country for so long, she would ship them to me in NORWAY for free to so i have to say the this company takes care of their costumers! After i had sent the head phones to etymotic, i checked my amazon account and somehow the guy misunderstood me and had sent me a replacement overnight, so i could have had a new pair the next day and sent the bad ones back, so i applaude amazon for doing such a good job of keeping me happy. I would recommend any of their products to anyone who loves good quality sounds and likes to preserve their hearing as they block out almost all sounds!

 "Great sound, but questionable jack" 2009-10-05
By E. C. Alvarez (King of Prussia, PA USA)
Having been done with the earbud type of headphones that come with your typical iPod/iPhone, or others along those lines, I've been using "higher-end" sets with passive noise isolation. I've tried the Etymotic Research and the Shures, and have normally been very pleased. When ER announced that they were doing a special headset for smartphones (read: iPhones), I was very excited. I put in my order immediately and relished being able to listen to my music in a quiet and hi-fi environment (in you head). Of coursem they did not dissapoint in sound quality, as they are built in comparison with some of their higher end in-ear headphones.

Nonetheless, some months after daily use, I noticed that I wasn't getting sound from one of the earpieces. I wasn't sure how this had happened, so I contacted ER who promptly had me submit my set for review. I got a new pair in the mail pretty quickly, and resumed my music-listening bliss.

Until a couple of months after that, when I noticed that the jack wire was apparently breaking up and had intermitent sound in one of the pieces. Wash, rinse, and repeat, and now on my fourth headset I am convinced that while ER has excelled in the earpieces portion of this item, they have neglected the jack portion of the wire, which is easily bent and ruins the connection to the earpiece.

Thankfully their warranty is extensive, and they have replaced it everytime with no cost (except shipping to them). I wish they would pay more attention to that part of the headset, since you cannot expect everyone to sit at home and not move while listening to their music on their portable MP3 player/phone.

So, this means this is an excellent sounding headset with high fidelity and excellent noise isolation. The construction of the jack-wire part is not on par with the rest of the set, unfortunately.

 "No Regrets Whatsoever." 2009-10-04
By C. Ray
The sound is fantastic. Bass is fine unless you listen exclusively to heavy duty beats. Comfort will take a little getting used to but after a few days I did not feel them in my ears.

 "Great sound, but not for all occasions" 2009-10-02
By Stan B. (City of Saint Francis, CA, USA)
Rather than repeat the content of many other reviews, let me summarize a few pluses and minuses:

-- Very good sound clarity and quality

-- Excellent sound isolation, though "cable noise" is far from negligible

-- Decently comfortable, even over 10+ hours on a transatlantic flight

-- Good build quality, with a convenient pouch to carry the earphones around

-- The microphone is also v. good

-- The "remote" for iPod works only to start, stop, skip a song. It does NOT control the volume, which is a serious lack of functionality imho



In total, the hf2 are a GREAT ear-phone for travelling in a plane, or listening to music at home or at the office. If I receive a phone call, I simply un-plug the hf2 from my iPod and plug them into my cell-phone. Rather convenient.

For more outdoorsy activities (and, to a certain extend, even just walking in the street), I would rather recommend a nice set of standard ear-phones.

 "An acoustic earphone for everyone?" 2009-09-23
By T. Bui
I travel rather extensively and have been using the Bose noise canceling headset for years. Generally speaking, I am happy with it. It's just getting a bit too bulky for my briefcase. Thus, the justification for a high-quality earphone. I got the Etymotic research HF2 for my iphone after having seen rave reviews. It is clearly an acoustic earphone. First impression: the sound is clear and distinctive. There is an note in the package reminding the user to tightly insert the earbud inside the ear canal to be able to hear the bass. I followed the instructions, which was a bit unusual for an earphone user (that is, open your mouth, pull up your earlobe, insert the earbud and twist it in to seal the ear canal). I felt a bit strange, but eventually get used to the process. But the disappointing thing is the fact that sound was not full, and the bass was elusive. For certain "oldies," it sounded like the artist was singing from the room next door. I tried the unit with different types of songs (classical, rock, latin, etc.) and different settings of the equalizer on the iphone... some slight differences, but I did not hear much the full range that I expected to hear. The only enjoyment was to listen to a guitar solo. The sound was pleasantly crisp. A friend from an old school of high-end speakers advised me to "burn" the earphone. I let the iphone play about 30 consecutive hours of music over the weekend, hoping that the sound would get a bit warmer and the bass would be more audible. Barely. So it was a bit of a disappointment. Using the unit as a hand-free phone headset is quite pleasant. The audio was crystal clear. But I am not talkative, and conversation was short. I was looking more for music. I am now thinking of giving it away and to either get the new Quietcomfort 15 or the Bose in-ear headphone. May be I am different then the majority of the people who gave a high review for this unit. I have had, and still owns one, high-end acoustic units at home in my music studio.

 "Great improvement over regular S9" 2009-10-04
By Richard F. Howes (Melbourne, FL)
I bought the S9HD because it was only $30 (+/-) more than the regular S9. The sound clarity is far superior than the S9. You get phone conversation out of both sides, unlike the S9 which only gives you sound from one side. It paired very easily with my IPhone and plays songs from my Ipod section and great sound using my Sirius APP and my AOL APP. The only thing I have a problem with is the battery life. It is unpredictable, sometimes lasting only a couple hours. Well worth the money i paid on AMAZON.

 "Stuttering sound and cannot look up" 2009-09-18
By T. Morrison (San Francisco)
When reading reviews for a product I tend to throw out the best and the worst reviews as some people are either too much of a fan or too critical. I tend to pay attention to the pros and cons from the middle crowd. I never thought I'd be someone to write such a bad review but here I am.



First let me say the sound quality is absolutely INCREDIBLE! It's the best sound I've had from a pair of headphones and still be comfortable in my ears because it's not shoved deep into my ear canal. Unfortunately, it won't stay in the proper place in my ears to keep the great quality. The back part, which "floats" above your neck is way too low for me. You just cannot look up. If you do just a bit, the back part will press against the back of your neck and pop the ear buds out of your ear. I was sitting at a chinese fast food place trying to eat while wearing these. Every time I leaned in for a bite, they'd spread out of my ears making the sound quality horrible. Remember buds like these need to have a great seal in your ears to give great sound.



If you wear glasses, forget it. I don't wear glasses so I didn't think about that until I decided to go for a jog wearing these AND sunglasses. Oops! Two objects fighting for space behind my ears? I don't think so.



Then there's all the complaints on here about the sound cutting out. They're all right. I was hoping they were just being too critical. I guess I should have listened to their warnings. As some others have said I too have tried putting my iPod Touch in my front shirt pocket, pants pocket or even carry it in my hand holding it up near my head. This thing STILL cuts out at least 6 times a minute for a quick one second silent pause each time. If I reach up and hit a volume button, it will stutter for about 12 times sound on and off until it finally comes back steady... until the next cut-out. This is just ridiculous and it makes this device a complete annoyance.



Finally, I'm shocked by the rechargeable battery. Once I got these things home and started reading the manual, I was amazed to read the book state this product is good for 400 charges. That's it? Really? That makes this a very expensive, disposable headset... that doesn't stay in my ears if I look up, difficult to wear with glasses and cuts in and out all the time. Crazy!

 "Beware of Knockoffs" 2009-09-17
By C. Durian (Ohio)
I ordered these headsets directly from Amazon, but from another link on this site. They are currently out of the set I ordered so I am unable to leave a review there. The set I ordered was the Motorola MOTOROKR S9 HD Bluetooth Stereo Headset (Black) (Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging)- $59.



When I recieved the item I noticed that there was no sound coming from the right ear when I made phone calls. The sound for music was stereo, and slightly worse than wired headphones, but still good considering it is bluetooth. Also, the skip forward/skip backward buttons on my set did not work properly. After going to Motorola's site to find out if mono sound during calls was normal, I learned that it was not. In the new HD S9 headphones, sound is supposed to come from both ears when making calls. I also happened to notice that my headphones looked exactly the same as the headphones on the picture from Motorola's site, but for several small differences. The 'play/pause' button and the 'phone' button on my set were white, and on Motorola's site the picture showed those button's being black. Also, there was a slight protrusion on for the volume buttons and the skip forward/backward buttons in the Motorola picture, and on mine set those buttons were flat.



I called Motorola customer support to verify that an authentic pair should not have white buttons and to verify that the serial number on my set was a valid serial number. The agent said there is no version of this headset that has white on the buttons, and he could not find my serial number in his system. I am now assuming my pair is a knock-off. Motorola agreed to promptly send a new pair and will investigate my pair when I send them in. The reason this is strange is that my pair came directly from Amazon's store, and not from a satellite store or reseller on Amazon's site. Either situation would be disheartening, because of Amazon's reputation for working only with quality resellers, but the fact that Amazon is selling a knock off directly from their store is more shocking.



If you order these, please make sure when they arrive that the only white existing anywhere on the headset is the Motorola logo. That is a sure sign of a knockoff.



Although I cannot speak to the quality of an authentic pair, I will comment on my experience with my set.



Pros:

-Sound quality was good

-People on the other other end of my calls said they could hear me clearly

-The range was good - about 15 feet

-Battery lasts a long time

-Easy to charge

-Relatively comfortable after a while.

-No more cord



Cons

-Extremely uncomfortable at first. I am 6'4 and have a fairly big head, so that may be a factor, but these are tight. They press against your ear and give you a headach for the first couple of days of wearing them.

-Becasue they are one-size-fits-all, the hang down too far in the back. When I used them with a coat or a collared shirt, they would constantly grind against the collar and create more pressure on my ear. You do get used to it though.

-Even though they are sleek and as inconspicuous as possible, you will still look like an idiot when you wear them.



Overall, I hate wires so much that I am willing to put up with the slight discomfort to enjoy bluetooth. Shame on you Amazon for selling knockoffs.

 "Clarity of Purpose" 2009-09-15
By Pyanfar Chanur (USA)
I bought the S9-HD with the idea that this would take my music mobile: in other words, be used in motion. If you're looking for a pair of headphones for when you work out: running, biking, playing tennis, or just generally moving around with your phone clipped to your belt, then these headphones succeed. If you're looking for the perfect Bluetooth headphones to kick back with, lie on the couch, or while away the hours with, you will be disappointed. The design of the S series is intended to cling to your neck, drill down into your ears, and stay there no matter what. As an added benefit, the body of the headset stays off your head, away from sweat and not tangling in your hair like over-the-head headphones do.



The downsides here are:



- The signal. Even on a full charge, I can't put my phone on my belt in the front: the Bluetooth antenna is in the back of the S9, and I'll get dropouts just walking, and more if I'm turning or bending. I have to put the phone on my belt in the back, or mount it on the highest point of the treadmill in front of me to keep a consistent signal. I also tried these on my laptop, and so long as I didn't lean back, they worked (my standard HS-809 headset does not have this problem).



- The comfort. The design grabs behind your ears and rubber sheaths on the speakers go down in the ear canal. The weight of the back of the S9 pulls on these pressure points, and after an hour or so, you'll start feeling it. If you've got a large head, you might find yourself experiencing headaches after any prolonged use.



That said, with the right source, the speakers produce surprisingly good sound quality: they'll never match expensive noise-cancelling headsets, but they definitely do better than any earbuds or standard behind-the-head rigs I've used.



You'll enjoy the S9 so long as you bear in mind that the Motorola S9s are your companion for when you're active. If you want to kick back, I'd recommend something more comfortable. This unit also comes with a drawstring bag (I somehow got two), and an adapter to communicate with an iPod (but again, you'll probably want the iPod close to the S9). Instructions are simple and pair-bonding with devices is no different for the S9 than anything else; check your device's settings to properly connect.
