In for one. Following woot! for 5 years and tonight I made my first purchase!

Going to be rocking these mowing on the Zero Turn instead of the crappy earbuds I've been using that required me to have my phone in my shirt pocket.

I've got a pair of over-the-ear Bluetooth headphones that I pair with my Mac at work so I can listen to music while I work. They work great and I love not being teathered to my desk--I've actually forgotten I've had them on as I've walked out the door before; I got half way to my car and started wondering why the music suddenly stopped!

I was looking at these headphones (at full price) on another website last week. I figure this style would be better for the gym and would pair well with my phone. I think I'm in for a pair.

Sound is ok but it seems a little small for my head when it wraps around the back it feels a little snug but ok. But if i turn my head the ear part starts to twist and come out a bit. and after 1.5-2 hours at the gym i got really annoyed with the thing rubbing on my neck.

I just bought the "over the ear" version on Amazon a couple weeks ago. You might want to check them out for comfort. Only complaint I have with mine is the earpiece is foam and doesn't handle sweat too well.

Whoa... I already got mine today. That was FAST shipping. And no, I had not paid for next day. It said Tuesday was my expected delivery. I'm not complaining. Thanks woot!

As for the item: They work. Calls are clear (both ends). Music is "okay." Not that I was expecting much, but the bass is terribly lacking. And they don't get real loud.
But they do fine enough for the gym. I'm happy... so long as they last. (read some issues about sweat being a Motorola S10-HD killer) *crosses finger and hopes for the best*

Cheers, all!

Also... FWIW... I have a rather large head (hat size, anyway) and I wear glasses.

That said, I don't find these comfortable or uncomfortable. They are "okay." I could not see wearing them very long, but for a quick workout or bus,train,tram,subway,etc. ride... they should be fine. YMMV

And for those commenting on audiophile quality:

Do they sound as good as the $400 - $2,000 headphones we use at work? Uhm, no. But they are $30 disposables. And as such, they do their job just fine. IMHO

They sound great, they pair easily & they are very comfortable.

I use the red with my iPhone 4 while at work. I run a service route & at times im a good distance from my iPhone & they always stay connected. In this heat I sweat a lot & thats never been a problem for these headphones.

I use the white pair with my home computer for watching movies late at night. I purchased a rockfish adapter & it paired right away on my HP W7.

Id buy a 3rd pair but i just dont know what id do with them ...

That was fast! Received my pair today, and the unit works as intended. I have the S9 which doesn't fit as tight as this unit, but it just needs some breaking-in (about 2 months). Also, the unit is not as loud as the S9. Again, the speakers will most likely sound better after a couple months of burn-in. The S10 weighs 1.7 oz and the S9 weighs only 1.2 oz. for a longer lasting battery (6 hrs vs 8 hrs). The difference of .5 oz is like the weight of 3 quarters. I think I'll hold on to my new S10 as a backup pair.

Fast shipping, got mine today too. Unfortunately mine are defective. Left side is way quieter than the right and has major crackle and pop when played at high volume. I've tried with different software on several different device, all the same.

Update: playing a little more and listening to just one side at a time the distortion is always there on the left side, it's just so quiet that unless you turn it all the way up you can't here it. Right side sounds fine.

I also received my pair today. "Breaking them in" right now as I type this and I have to say that they're performing better than expected. The lows are a bit lacking, but I'm just going to be using them on jogs and in the gym. Very pleased with my purchase, thanks Woot!

P.S.-Someone earlier in the discussion thread was wondering if the refurbs would be clean or not...I had to throw out the pair of ear knobs that were on the unit upon arrival due to dark flakes inside it. Very gross. Used a wipey on the headset and it's good to go. Thanks again!

gross!

I thought the product video was cool! You're right, for products that are oddly shaped, it's helpful to see them from multiple angles, and a static image wouldn't suffice.

I do video and motion graphics, so I'm interested in how you accomplished this? Just a chroma key and some smooth-moves with your camera?

I received two pair of the headphones. I only wanted one, was not sure I had ordered the first until I saw the email that they had been shipped. The second package is still unopened. Is there a way to return them for a refund?

Received mine today, but after a couple of hours of troubleshooting, it seems like the right earphone simply doesn't work at all, no sound, no distortion, just total silence. This goes for music, phone calls, videos, etc. Bad luck I guess =(.

Maybe check your junk mail folder if you haven't heard from us within 24 hours.

Thank you, I received it.

Anyone else still have a status of "awaiting shipment"? Also, I was pretty sure I selected the Black and White model and it says I have the Red and Black to be delivered. Anyways, kinda long time for woot to even send out shipping info to me based on previous woots.

So as a note to anyone else having audio issues with theirs, For the heck of it I reset the headset and amazingly that solved my popping/cracking issue with high volumes. Left side still seems a little lower than the the right, but that may be my music. I couldn't believe a reset would fix such an issue but it did.

Audio quality is pretty bad, but for 25 bucks it's hard to complain. They work very well for phone calls.

I wonder if I can return these.

The ear pain is unbearable even after trying all the ear buds. Trying to wear these upside down helps a bit from the pinching at the top...but I think it's a bit too much.

I hear all this about S9, I wish this were the perfect size. Did Motorola make an S11 with all the corrections?

Hi all, I haven't ordered from woot in a couple years -- is it normal to get the following message when I try and track the package?

"Delivery status information is not available for your item via this web site. A return receipt after mailing may be available through your local Post Office."

I just received mine yesterday, and after all night of charging I was ready to set it up today. Much to my dismay, I couldn't get it to sync or do anything but flash red. Called Motorola, they're going to send me a new one in a week...

I suppose it was too much to expect my S10-HD to pair with my Wooted Motorola Xoom Wifi (ice cream sandwich but soon jelly bean); however, it pairs ok with my iPod touch - so I guess I am good?

Just click your device and check it out for yourself!

Good tip. Thanks for the help.

It should pair fine with your xoom. You just need to go into settings and bluetooth the pair. If it doesn't seem like its working, kit the settings tab next to the device on the xoom bluetooth menu and make sure you have the correct profiles setup. Whenever I get mine, I'm going to test it out. I use a jambox around the house though with my android tablet with no issues.

those instructions should be very similar, just tablet interface of ICS.

I'm getting the same response from usps.com. I have never seen that before.

Mine did the same at first, I held the power on button down for a longer amount of time until it was blue. The instructions don't tell you the light shows red if you don't hold the button down long enough.
I have a small head and these are pretty tight, they sound fine and seem to stay synced okay. They don't charge very fast. It's okay with me that I can still hear ambient noise with them on, some people might not want that.

Motorola is sending me a replacement, I found that my xoom is covered: http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/AU-EN/Consumer-Products-and-Services/ANDROID-TABLETS/ci.MOTOROLA-XOOM-AU-EN.productCompatibility

Received a shipment E-mail on the 9th...USPS has come and gone. 1 week for shipping?! Where are these things coming from? Slowest shipment by Woot ever...

I bought these and received them yesterday, and I'm just wondering here... to all of you who have said they pinch at the top and really hurt because they are too tight.... You realize that the top part is supposed to go beneath the ear, right? When I first put mine on, the top part naturally rests on top of my upper ear and is definitely too tight for comfort. But if you sort-of pull your upper ear out and let the top part fall behind your ear, it fits very comfortably on my head. I've been wearing them for hours and no complaints here.

And for audio quality, after hearing everyone's reviews I was convinced they were going to sound terrible. But let me put it this way: are you an audiophile? Then no, these are not Bose or Beats or whatever. Are you a normal music listener? These sound great. Slightly less bass than the headphones that came with my iPhone, but otherwise practically same quality.

I subscribe to audible and I think they are GREAT -let the top part fall behind your ear (! Just expect my replacements to work with my Xoom)!
OK, got my replacement S10-HD and at first I could not get it to pair with my xoom, but it works with my wife's xoom? Then I tried it again with my xoom (I activated Groove ip lite as this looked to be the only active difference in our xooms? Wonder of wonders I was able to pair my s10!)
I am super puzzled exactly what I did but now the replacement S10-HD sounds great with my xoom wifi (and my iPod touch)!
It appears I am responsible for the cost to mail back my original S10 to Motorola (I suppose that would have been the same to Woot)!

Adding to some of the audio quality comments here...

I have to agree that the quality is poor to mediocre. The treble is tinny and the bass is lacking. Not sure exactly what the different shapes of earcaps are supposed to accomplish, but some of them sound better than the others. Part of the problem seems to be that my big head forces the buds not to point directly into my ear; I can get slightly better sound when I put pressure on the buds with my fingers.

Also slightly uncomfortable (big head, again).

In complaining about the audio quality, I'm not comparing to high-priced alternatives. My $50 Rocketfish MAB2 over-the-ear BT stereo headphone sound fantastic with fill sound. I was expecting more from Motorola and a model that retails for $100. PC Mag was too: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2372054,00.asp

I have two other pairs of these and the ones i bought here the volume is much lower and is not in hd stero . I am not happy with this @ all. Be very weary of this product. I may just have gotten a bad pair, because i really love my other pairs these are the best there hd wireless there are if you active.

Did you hold down the power button until it turns blue? Takes about 10-15 seconds. Longer than you would think.

Still have not received shipment...

sobczak927 wrote:Still have not received shipment...

same here

Thanks that worked! Won't get them till Thursday

I ordered 3. One lasted 3 days. Now the volume button "presses itself." It's constantly beeping in my ear. This also makes turning the headset on and off impossible at times. I wonder how long the other 2 will last. Should I contact Motorola?

Just got mine, they work awesome
No complaints. Sound is great
