Im finally done with my motorola S9HD (http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/4-/11315586/Motorola-S9-HD-Stereo-Bluetooth-Headphones/Product.html?&engine=froogle_mobile&keyword=Motorola+S9-HD+Stereo+Bluetooth+Headphones&_$ja=tsid:11518%7Ccc:%7Cprd:11315586%7Ccat:Mobile+ ) and looking for a replacement.
I was so happy when the s9 HD version was released as i thought they fixed a major bug of swaet breaking the buttons on s9 units, i was on my 4th pair of s9's when i upgraded to the S9HD.
Now 2 sets of HD's later and i have had enough of sending faulty units back.
Can anyone recommend a bluetooth headsert suitable for running with?
must be bluetooth, A2DP, AVRCP and have decent sound... ooh and last more than 8 weeks.
thanks

A friend of mine sent me an email with these (http://www.jaybirdgear.com/bluetooth-stereo-headphones-features.php)headphones.
They look like they could be a good replacement, does anybody have any experiance?

Jabra BT620s may be a good choice, but now Amazon.com doesn't have a good price, a good price for this set should be around $70. Try other electronic discount retailers.
Personal idea: This set, or any kind of Bluetooth set, is not recommended for serious Classical music fans. But I dare say no one are that kind serious on for a cell phone's media player.

they seem to be alot better than the jb200 in the reviews i have been reading.
There is a pretty good video reviw on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLlJ4n-1QTk&feature=related)comparing the S9HD, JB200 and the altec lansing.
seems the altec get great reviews everywhere and a bit cheaper than the competition too. Alot of reviews do rate the sound of the S9 as being better but alot of people do not get on with its semi-rigid design not to mention the absolutly $*1^ reliability.
Thanks for the recommendation, i have ordered a pair of altecs :D
£48 including delivery which is nearly half of what i paid for the S9HD a year ago

thanks for the recommendation jonrobertd, i ahve had the lansings for a few days now and really enjoying them.
They are more comfortable than my S9's and a damn sight cheaper too :D
The S9 do sound better (fuller sound and more bass) but i think the lansing may last longer at the gym :)
