I bought a MotoRokr S9 headset a few weeks ago, I love them. I do alot of running and they are perfect for that. I've destroyed a couple BT headsets by sweating on them, these are supposedly sweat resistant, so i'll see in time if they live up to thier claim.

Unforntunately they don't live up to Moto's "Sweat and Water resistance" claim. Only had them for a month and returned my 3rd pair. Got them for a b-day gift an found this issue to be widespread. the moisture gets in through the speakers and renders the buttons useless and in some have caused random operation. Very disappointing as i have been drooling over this product since it came. Finally exchanged them for Sony DR-BT21G/B.

I've got 2 very under-rated recommendations.
1)Logitech wireless ipod headphones... these sound great (as good or better than moderately priced wired headphones), cheap, and although they are not advertised as such, are really using bluetooth A2DP under the hood so you can toss the ipod adaptor it comes with and just pair them with your WinMo phone!
The only catch is that they recalled the design because they snap in half under too much pressure. Because of the recall/manufacturing defect, they have been clearing out and can be picked up for around $30 (I bought mine for $25 from woot.com a while back).
I've been careful with mine, and they've lasted almost 2 years already. Great deal for the money.
Oh, and they don't support phone calls. These are music only.

2)I.Tech R35. These were the first available a2dp adapters that allow you to use your OWN HEADPHONES. Its sort of a clip that can attach to your shirt, and has a standard 3.5mm stereo jack on it, as well as a mic for taking calls, and controls for your music on the clip. The advantage to this is that if you don't like the way the earphones sound, you can plug in your own higher-quality ones! Or, plug them into your home stereo like I do for true wireless music in your living room!

Thumbs up Great Thread!

Ok, let me just say I was going to post the exact same thread any day now... I need a good set of BT stereo headphones that can withstand heavy exercise, ie, running, cycling and heavy sweating. While I don't care about placing a phone call during a workout (I'm a Zen kind of person... fully concentrate on the exact thing you are doing at the moment), I need to be able to respond to them if they come in. Another big factor: They need to be able to be worn while the user has a pair sport type sunglasses on, the wrap-around kind with the thick plastic frames by your ear.

I too have ruled out the Moto S9's due to numerous reports of sweat intrusion. The design is awesome, but Moto never manufactured them right.

Don't want "ear-muffs", would prefer an in-ear design.

Ones that I've seen and would like user comments on:

Jabra BT8010 http://www.jabra.com/Sites/Jabra/NA-...braBT8010.aspx

Plantronics Voyagerâ„¢ 855 http://www.plantronics.com/north_ame...35/prod5880001

Nokia Wireless Headset HS-12W http://europe.nokia.com/A4399840

If anyone has any other recommendations I'd love to hear them.

Thanks,
TC
