Motorola sets ears on fire with S9-HD Bluetooth stereo headset
Motorola launched a slick headset today as a follow up to the original MOTOACTV S9 we saw this time last year. Form looks unchanged on this outing, but Moto has opted to add high-definition sound with SRS WOW HD and fixed the issue we had with background noise by improving the earbuds. Battery life is touted as 6 hours of play time on a single charge -- but of course your mileage will vary -- and weighs in at a measly one ounce. If you've been looking to upgrade your current sweat damaged S9 set, this may well be a worthy upgrade for you.

I'm fairly certain the S9 is called the "MotoRokr S9" and no longer the MotoActv S9... at least thats what it says on the box I bought. http://direct.motorola.com/hellomoto/us/s9/

I'm glad it's not red, but it's still too big and bulky for my needs.

Sounds like snake oil to me. I googled SRS HD WOW and found this CNET review. There's only so much you can do with a single driver speaker to begin with and the stuff they do talk about sounds like marketing bullshit:
"Sound-image elevation used in combination with SRS to create a large sound image"
Again, sound stage positioning can't go very far with single-driver earbuds.
