Motorola S9-HD Headphone Continual Beeping - FIX

Recently my Motorola S9-HD Bluetooth headphones started doing something annoying. It started on a bike ride where I really wanted some music. Periodically they began a long continual series of beeps. If I pressed the power button the beeps would stop, but not for long. Un-pairing and re-pairing them didn't change anything.

What I found that did work is to completely drain the battery. Completely...meaning leave them on until they power off, then turn them back on until they turn off again. I then did a full charge on the battery. I found that I had to repair them again to my phone - not sure if that's normal or not. Once I did that, they started working again properly.

So far so good and the problem has not returned.

** EDIT **

Not long after I posted this, the problem returned. The best I can determine, the headphone batteries weren’t holding a good charge. I ended up putting them in my pile of recycle. Now I’m on a quest to find a suitable replacement. I’ve looked at the next model up from Motorola the S10’s – I might go with them.
