I ordered this headphone to replace a similar model from a different company that had quit working after less than a year. The battery would no longer hold a charge.
The Motorola feels like it's much better made, and not as fragile as the one from the other company (iKross). It slips over my ears easily (over the earpieces of my glasses), and fits comfortably. It rides well, and does not slip out of my ears. It has better sound as well. The control buttons are much superior. Instead of having three buttons that have multiple functions controlled by the number of times you click, the S10 has seven buttons - three on each earpiece (easily located) and one on the underside of the part that goes around the back of your head which you push to activate your bluetooth connection, also easily located. The buttons on the left side control your volume (top and bottom), the middle accepts a phone call. On the right, the upper and lower buttons take you to the next or previous track, while the middle one puts your music on pause.
Since I primarily use this while I'm riding my bicycle, it seems to be the perfect headphone for me. I can listen to my music, but still hear enough to be aware of a car sneaking up on me, I can quickly and easily change tunes or volume with just one easily located button click, or answer a call. It's well sealed, so sweat should not affect it. Only time will tell about the durability of the battery, but if it lasts two years I'll be satisfied and would purchase a replacement.

1. Not earbuds. 2. Painful. 3. Do not block noise. 4. Sound is too low.
Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2012
I really wanted to like these headphones. Working outdoors with machinery, I needed earbuds that block loud harmful sounds and eliminate wires (wires are uncomfortable, they get caught on tools, the area above the 3.5mm male wears out, etcetera). So, when I saw these I was really stoked, and decided to forego the warnings from the vast number of negative reviews on Amazon in hope that I was one of the lucky few to like these headphones. However, these headphones are just unbearable. They are completely uncomfortable and ill-designed.The problem is that while they look like earbuds, they do not fit in the ear canal like normal earbuds. They come with four sizes of ear pieces, the smallest of which 'could' fit inside the ear canal, except the place where they connect is entirely too large (I'll post pictures).Furthermore, since they don't fit inside the ear canal, they do not block outside noises. And, since I couldn't get a seal in the ear, the volume sounded too low. For example, I couldn't hear podcasts while mowing my lawn.Lastly, since they go directly outside the ear canal they stretch out the external auditory canal and tragus (I had to google 'outer ear anatomy') making it very painful after wearing them for a mere half hour.
