I bought a cheap pair of S9's on E-Bay, I suspected they were counterfeit. I bought a second pair from Best Buy to do a side-by-side comparison, sure enough the ones off E-Bay were fake. The real ones were more comfortable, but still not exactly what I was looking for, still a little uncomfortable after wearing for 30 minutes or longer. So beware if buying on E-Bay even from sellers with positive (99%+) rating, I would avoid E-Bay altogether.

I returned them and bought a Plantronics Voyager 855 instead, couldn't be more pleased. They do a great job at sealing out the outside sound, I use them for listening to music and podcasts during lunchtime at restaurants and it can be noisy. The 855's are much easier to hear than the S9s were, even when not using the second-ear stereo attachment.
