1.0 out of 5 stars Can I Give it Zero Stars? This thing is useless., October 3, 2007

The design of this device is severely flawed. It disconnects extremely easily (try a slight bump, even inside a case) when doing anything even remotely active. Mine came as part of the iPod/S9 "Active" adapter kit...and it is so completely worthless that I am returning it.

Every time the d650 gets bumped or has pressure put on it (such as when bending over with it inside a case clipped to my waist) it disconnects from the iPod, loses power, and then has to be re-paired with the headset...which requires that you monitor a colored light on the headset...which requires that you take it off.

Every ten or so time it pairs with the headset it requires that you pause and unpause the iPod, which requires that you remove it from whatever case you're using to do something active with it, and putting back in the case can provide enough force to dislodge the d650 and start all over.

In short, it's going back.

2.0 out of 5 stars It works for a short period of time, January 26, 2008

I purchased this adapter to work with my R.E.D. snowboarding helmet and it works very well, until it sucks your battery dry. The battery of the iPod Nano should last ~24 hours under normal use and when powering this device it lasts only 5 hours! I need this to work for at least 8 hours straight. I would use this on the hill and have it die half way through the day. I'm trying a self powered adapter now...

It also separates from the Nano easily. I ended up using a hair tie to keep it connected. I'm not sure if it's related but I would occasionally get a "skipping/cutting out" with the music.

This review is from: D650 Bluetooth Adapter (Personal Computers)

I've been using a Jabra A125S with my iPod 5G and it works well. The only drawback is the A125S has a battery life of only 6 hours, so I decided to try the Motorola D650 in hopes of a longer play time. Here are my complaints; The D650 drains the iPod battery quickly. When you pause your iPod for more than 60 seconds or so, the D650 powers off. When you start playing your iPod again, the D650 has to resync with the headset. Most of the time the resynch takes several minutes minutes and required repeatedly unplugging and plugging in the D650, starting and pausing the iPod, placing the headset back in pairing mode, etc. After owning the Motorola D650 for all of 5 days, it died completely. Unless your looking for poor quality, poor design and poor performance, don't bother buying a Motorola D650.
BTW - I've since purchased a Sony TMR-BT8IP. It costs more than the D650, but it performs superbly. Easy to synch and it stays synched, excellent power conservation, resistant to external emanations (microwaves, PC's etc.)
