These suck. They are rigid and uncomfortable for anyone that doesn't have a head exactly the size of the headphones

Got a pair of these S10-HD headphones last month. They are amazing, great charge time, pretty decent for running so far, very reasonable/comfy.

I hate them.

I bought them to use while running. Every time I went for a run I considered throwing them off one of the bridges I run over and into the river. I didn't end up taking them on most of the runs I go on because the battery was dead unless I JUST unplugged them from the charger.

The sound quality is pretty bad but I can't give an honest opinion on that because they never fit right and are popping in and out of my ears so much all I hear is a popping sound.

I haven't actually used them for about the last month. I probably never will again. I really miss my old Motorola pair that covered my ears entirely and had no claims of being water resistant. They managed to hold up for a couple years even with being soaked in sweat a few times a week. If you do buy these I hope they work better for you than they did for me.



I'm with you. Mine fit just fine, but the sound quality is awful, and if you're watching netflix or something enjoy that 200ms delay. Also, painful to wear for more than 20 minutes.

I'm a member of the tiny ears club and these don't fit me at all. They end up rotating downward and resting on the back of my neck meanwhile pulling on my ears. Very uncomfortable, would have bought something adjustable if I knew that.

Wear them right and you can avoid the pain/tightness unless you have a big head.

Sound is mediocre, so they're best to be used during an activity that you wouldn't be too concerned about superb quality.

I have these and love everything about them except how they feel on my head. I can wear them for awhile but then I just can't stand them anymore. I have the medium sized one's and my husband has a small head and he said they hurt him too. The benefits are so great I tolerate the discomfort as long as possible. We both wear glasses so I don't know if that's the issue or not. I will probably buy another pair in the larger size.

Bought one of these refurbs from woot a couple weeks ago. The right speaker was blown already. Since Woot does not handle returns, I'm in communications with Moto customer service right now.

Refurb headphones... Headphones other people have used (or had problems with) already... I feel like I should have somehow anticipated this.



I have had some experiance with MOTOROLA customer service. Toss the crap out and move on, they suck! I had a two week old Motorola GPS Active and these headphones. Both sucked so bad I gave them away. Customer service was horrible.

Thought these were a new take on Virtual Reality goggles at first glance.

So, I just received these... I ordered them reluctantly after reading the reviews. However, armed going in with that knowledge I didn't get my hopes up... and as a result I am pleasantly surprised. I listen to podcasts and music at work over 7 hours a day, every day... and I am struggling to convince myself to start exercising again. I consider these to be a trade-off. The sound quality of these PALES IN COMPARISON to my trusty reliable Skull Candy ink'd headphones and after trying ALL of the included ear tips they are nowhere near as comfortable. Where I see the value is convenience. I've yet to see if I can tolerate them for the duration of my work day or when jogging... but if I can manage, the convenience of listen, play, pause, forward reverse, WIRELESSLY is huge to me. I constantly have to fight with my headphone cable when working and often wind up with the cable VIOENTLY RIPPING out of my phone or my ear-holes after it becomes tangled. In the end, I don't think these will ever REPLACE my wired earbuds... but they will make a nice addition to my gadget arsenal for the woot price. Note, had I paid retail, they would most likely be refunded and not kept.

I had the original S9's when they first came out. I loved them and they lasted for 5 years. Excited to get these, Motorola makes a great product.

Received these in the mail on Saturday.. and I was wondering if anyone else is having issues with the sound skipping, ie: When I listen to music it sounds like a skipping CD. I thought it was my phone at first, since I was streaming from Google Play, however I switched to some locally stored music, and the problem persisted. So I decided to sync the headset to my laptop, played some music - and I still had the same problem. Could this be some sort of interference with Bluetooth? I pair my phone to my car daily to listen to Pandora on the way to work, and have no problems with that at all, so my current bet is that the headset is just a pile of crap..

I owned the first edition of these and loved it so when I saw these on here I quickly snatched up 2 pairs but I've never gotten them to work. I shoulda sent them back but I'm lazy. They charged and powered on fine but I couldn't get them to connect. Waste of fifty bucks. My fault for not returning them. Oh well. Plus the limited amount of time I spent trying to get them to work they are a lot tighter then the old ones. Wish I could have my money and/or the original ones back.



Took me a minute to figure out that after you turn them on, you actually need to reset them to get them to pair. To reset, you hold the volume up and power button (after you turned them on) until the blue light stays on steady, then find them on your player/phone and pair them.

hmm. i'm not familiar with the product, so i am not sure if this could mean it's defective or not.

if you suspect it might be damaged or defective, you might want to email service@woot.com so they can get things resolved.

Not sure if you should post that? This slightly-nsfw-flowchart will help.

Not that anyone asked, but I'll toss in my $0.02 here. I recently started running (i'm 37, never too late) and the first few runs I had my phone in a 'running case' on my arm and regular headphones with a cord. Annoying is just the polite word I'd use with reference to the cord.

Today was my second run with these bluetooth headphones. Totally hassle free. I liked that they came with different earpieces (although I think most do now), I was able to find one that worked for me (again, your mileage may vary, and I can certainly see how some people might not find something that works for them).

What I will say is that I wear glasses and don't own contacts. I am not able to wear these "correctly" with my glasses on. They want to be in the same place on my ear and it creates a very uncomfortable pressure point (hurts after just a minute, please also account for the fact that I could be a wuss). Anyway, I can turn the headphones "upside down" and they work just fine. It's clear that they don't fit perfect in my ear when I do that (kind of "duh") but it works. Two 3 mile runs and no particular issues. They fit snug, even in the upside down position (I've tried a short 1/4 mile run with my glasses off and wearing the headphones 'properly'... seems to be ok for me w.r.t. comfort).

I haven't used them enough (IMO) to speak about battery life, they've only had to play music for just under an hour so far.

Last comment is if you have reasonably large hands, the controls can be a bit cumbersome, in that I tend to grab the headphone to get control of it before pushing a button, and end up pushing one if not all of the other buttons in the process. Feels like I just need to get used to that.

Ok, that might have been $0.04, hope it helps someone on the next woot.
