I just bought a pair of Motorola ROKR S9 HD Headphones.  It paired up easily with my Xenon and sounded great.  I try to walk most days for exercise and found that these headphones were cutting out sometimes.  When I googled this problem there was some info on the internet from a couple of people saying they had this problem also and that they had their phone in their pants pocket like I did.  
Anybody else out there have these headphones?  Or other bluetooth headphones with a similar problem?  
And more importantly, any ideas or solutions?  I really want to make this work and not have to return them as they also work for phone calls and it's great not having the wire from the phone up to the earbuds!
Suggestions please???

The human body seems to be incredibly good at blocking Bluetooth.  Kind of makes sense, since 2.4 GHz is also part of the spectrum that microwave ovens use, of course Bluetooth and WiFi are much lower power.

Even putting your phone on the opposite side of your body as your headphone's antenna will cause signal drop.

So the first thing to do is to try putting the phone in your other pocket and see if that's better.

Ok.  Thanks for the tip.  I will try it today.  The sound is incredible with these headphones, and having the phone controls is so handy, now I won't be able to say "I didn't hear the phone"!
I will update my findings in case anyone else is interested in these also.

Well, I tested these out in various different locations.  I use them mainly for when exercising like walking, biking, etc.  However, they still kept cutting out (music interuptus).  Also, I found that I was constantly adjusting them to be properly in my ears but they kept slipping out.  They also were uncomfortable for any length of time.  I think anyone with smaller ears may have trouble with these headsets and I think that was the problem with the fit for me.  The sound cutting out??? I don't know why cause I tested that all different ways, even holding my phone right out front of me so that there was a direct line of sight between the phone and the headset.  I guess bluetooth is a bit finicky. 
So, back they went to Best Buy.

i ordered a set of headphones from dealxtreme that are the type that has the ear clip and it hangs on the ear (i hate ear bud style ones). They should be here next week and ill fill everyone in on how they are. They were only 30 bucks.

I have the ROKR S9 and they rock!  They do take a bit of time to get used to the fit.   I was actually wearing mine upside down at first, but once I got the installation (on my head) technique down, they're great.  Very loud with full range sound.

The bluetooth connection doesn't work as well outside.  There is nothing for the bluetooth signal to bounce off of.  The signal will cut out regularly with the phone in your pocket when you are outside.  I bought an armband for exercising and working outside.  This works much better.  The signal hardly ever cuts out now.

Yeah, I got my headphones about two weeks ago and had the same problem. I even tried putting the phone in the pocket on the side where the receiver is in the headphones, that helped a bit, but not much.

The headphones I got sound good (good enough for wearing during exercise) and work pretty good except for the bluetooth issue.

What armband did you get? One that holds an iPod or something like that?

Hi,
I bought the BH-503, apparently its not pairing up!! Nokia Manual says as long as the device have A2DP Bluetooth profile it should work fine, but even thought Xenon has A2DP its not paring up.. I'm gonna probably sell this. But any suggestions for any other devices support Xenon??

I have 2 pair of the Rokr S9 and they both seem to loose the signal .Also the mike volume is very low ,so low that callers can not hear you . I gave one pair to my son and my wife has the other pair . She quit using them because of the problem and is currently using a pair called Acoustic Research Bluetooth Mini-Bridge Stereo Headset, which I paid $20 from CompUSA and is very satisfied with them . But i am using an over the head behind the ear pair I bought from Best Buy 3 years ago for $50 by Insignia .These headphones are twice as loud and sound twice as good as the Rokrs on any phone I connect them to  . The mike also blow the Motorolas away , as my callers never have any problem hearing me with the Insignias .Btw ,battery life for the Motorola is about 6 hours compaired to 12 hours for the Insignia . The Insignias Rock !!!
