(Note: I am using the 2g Touch, with 3.0)

I was looking at the JB200 Freedom headphones and was wondering if any of you have looked at these. If so what do you think? I like the individual earbuds (connected by the one wire, granted) as opposed to the Moto S9...

On that note, what do you think about the Motorola S9? It's a lot cheaper and I've seen come good reviews of it.

Is there any other bluetooth headphones you've used that work great? (and are under $130?)

Thanks!

My wife has the Jaybird, and I just got the S9-HDs. So I have the luxury of trying them both. I am using a touch with the built in bluetooth. Here Are my thoughts...

1. Sound quality: The S9s take it here. They sound great! The JB200 sound good too, but the S9 do a better job of blocking the outside noise and have a much deeper sound.

2. Fit: This can go both ways. This will vary depending on your neck size. I also wear glasses which I have found makes a difference. I like the band on the back of the S9s better than the wire. When I'm active and sweating, the wire tends to stick to my neck a little, pulling on the ear pieces. The S9s do not have this problem. The S9s press on the side of my head a little too much, but that may be because I wear glasses, and they press on those.

3. Delay: If you are using a touch like I am, I have found a slight delay in the audio. This matters when watching movies, the sound is out of sync. The S9s are very bad, unusable with movies. I don't know if I have a dud or what, but the JB200s don't have that issue.

Hope this helps.
