Motorola - S11-HD Bluetooth Headphones - Black

This is my second s11-hd and in between I used the s10 also by Motorola. The s10 had great voice recognition for Bluetooth phone calls. It had buttons to control music such as play, Ff, RWD but the sound quality and volume level were terrible. The S11-Hd which I am reviewing has very good sound quality and volume level (when I turn it up to max, I can't hear any ambient sound). Its battery lasts for hours. On average about 7 to 8 hours with volume at almost max. The design is very good. The parts that go in the ears are flexible and the little rubber things you add to the earplugs don't fall off (unlike the Motorola S10, in 2 months all 3 pairs had fallen off and were lost) and these are very comfortable, I wear these headphones for hours and do not feel any discomfort at all. Now the drawbacks are the hands free Bluetooth parts. Voice commands only work 2 out of 10 times (even then, I have to be in a perfectly quiet location) When I get a call, I usually have to take the call manually because the person on the other end of the call can't hear me (which worked exceptionally well on the S10 by Mororola, I wish they could have combined the best of both Bluetooth headsets) and turn off the Bluetooth so I can use the phone. Another drawback is the lack of other controls on the device. Just on/off, volume up/down and Bluetooth sync. No play/pause, FF or RWD. I have to reach in my pocket every time I want to do any of those things. Finally, on this new S11-HD, it does not turn itself off after a long period of inactivity. On the previous generation, I used to just press volume up or down to check if it was on, then I could play music or just decide to turn off. Now, pressing up or down after it has been inactive for a little bit yields no result even if it's turned on. So as a result, I have to press the power button and subsequent sound that it makes tells me if it was on or off (annoying). Overall I am very satisfied with this device. I would recommend to someone who wants it primarily for music listening (set up a playlist and don't PAUSE, FFW or RWD) and you will be happy, especially at the gym. The range is quite good but not as good as the previous generation S11-HD (Previous model, I could usually leave the room with the paired device and go to the second floor in our house without losing signal, with this generation, I start losing signal as I get at top of the stairs). So in a straight line of sight with no blockage, it works realistically up to a good 75ft.

I LOVE these headphones. I was looking for something to use with my iPhone while walking. My ear buds were always falling out of my ears. These are killer awesome! I put the band in to make it a little smaller and they sit perfectly at the back of my head, close to my neck, I bring them up around my ears, swivel the ear pieces for a perfect fit and voila! Beautiful music! They paired easily with my iPhone 4S which I carry in my pocket. No loss of signal and the sound is outstanding. Rich and full. The controls are easy to learn and to use. Every time I turn it on it automatically syncs - no problems. I'm not sure how long the charge will last. It's been very chilly and I haven't walked in over a week and I just put them on and they started right up. Still going strong. I don't know about durability as I've only used them a few times so far, but I do know they're very comfortable. Put them on and walk. I don't have to worry about shoving my buds back into my ears anymore! I concentrate on my walking and with these, I walk farther!

Hello, I needed something to hook via bluetooth to my phone. I was hesitant at first. I figured it was to good to be true. Bluetooth, take calls on it (if you have a note 3 watch this completes you!) water proof, great sound, recharges quickly, light, durable, can wear it to bed. Well its all true and with a $15 warranty it just can't be topped. 70 ft range.

Great sound quality, long battery life, & comfortable. They do everything i wanted them to do and more.

Overall this would be a great unit for someone using it as both a headset for music and talk on a more regular basis. I wanted something that would stay put in my ears while i was physically busy (ie folding laundry) while on the phone. It is WONDERFUL for that and stays in my ears well. Most bluetooths don't because my ear canals are small. Took me quite a few days of draining the battery before figuring out where the on/off light indicator is. It is the size of a pin head and in an odd spot to see. Directions for usage are poor and too minimal in my estimation. Sound quality is 5 star.
