bluetooth headphones

hi..im looking for some bluetooth headphones that will not only work for my mp3 player but also on the machines at the gym..so im needing some lightweight ones and cheap as possible!any help please

I can highly recommend the Motorola S9 headphones, very light & brilliant sound. Designed for use in the gym etc. so not affected by sweat. Only downside is the price, around £60, but they are the best sounding ones I've found so far.

I purchased these the other week but got them off Amazon Marketplace so they weren't retail boxed, but only £30. Which means I didn't get the travel pouch, but at £30 less you can't really complain.

All of the motorola ones don't come with a mp3 jack adapter bundled which you have to buy separately which I think OP stated they wanted.

The thing with these ones though are that they sit funny, if you don't have the perfect shaped head they'll be uncomfortable. I can't really wear mine for long periods as a result. Also if you loose the ear piece things Motorola don't have any spares and you have to buy a whole new set of headphones! Also as the receiver is behind your head quite often your body can interfere with the reception. I've read quite a few reviews mentioning this and something I've experienced myself.


I bought some last year for about £40, but as the receiver was in the ears they obviously larger. Infact these were the ones I got:

I can't remember the for life of me what site it was now but when i was researching a few weeks ago I found the same pair on another site (I thought it was amazon marketplace but I can't find them on there now) for about half the price.


As I've mentioned I find Amazon Marketplace really good for these sorts of things; don't come in retail packaging a lot of them but so much cheaper than RRP.

Hah I should have checked andys link; that was the site I was talking about!

Although that site doesn't suggest it comes with the mp3 jack adapter so that would be worth checking out from the site first.

Guess you'd only need the adapter if whatever you are using isn't bluetooth enabled?

do they come with adapters?

Amazon marketplace (like ebay) is rife with fake earphones, esp. Sennheisers.
A quick Google search shows that there seem to be a lot of fake S9s around too - so I'd definitely get them from somewhere legit, not Amazon marketplace.

I had a pair that I tried to use with a dongle from another set of headphones and I couldn't get them to pair.

True. I never really thought of that, but I do tend to avoid buying those sorts of things from ebay. Mine seem alright, sound quality is good and they work well so I can't complain. I also trust Amazon a bit more to sort out a problem than Ebay, but thats probably just my naivety as I've not really had any problems as yet.

I have Moto HT820 's. sound great, and I haven't had any pairing problems with them. if you can get em for a decent price I'd recommend them.
