Black Red Motorola S10-HD Bluetooth Stereo Headphone w/ Comfortable Sweat Proof Design

Pros: Previously, I had the motorola s9's for about 6 months before the volume up button stopped working. I was a bit worried about the new S10-HD's after reading these reviews but can tell you these are the headphones for you if you liked the S9's. Sure, the backing is inverse, but it actually doesn't get in the way at all, way better than the S9's. Also louder and deeper bass than the S9's. It took me a week to get used to the S9's comfort, but only a few days with the S10's. Yes, your ears do hurt with ANY in-ear headphones until you get used to them.

Cons: if you have very long hair, it will snag if you're not careful taking off. I have short hair but my baby girl keeps trying to put them on on then cries when she takes them off. Not really a con as they're not for her.

Overall Review: i bought the extended warranty this time as I used them about 4 times a week at the gym lifting weights and soaking them in sweat every time.

Pros: -Nice design
-Outside connectivity issue claimed to be fixed
-Sweatproof claim
-More conspicuous flashing Bluetooth light
-By holding FF and REW they now skip through the song
-Battery life improved
-More secure fit

Cons: -Sound is flat and lacks depth (No bass)
-Power button significantly smaller and more difficult to press
-No SRS WOW (toggle on and off by holding FF on S9HD)
-Volume level lower

Overall Review: Firstly, it brings me no satisfaction to give a bad review. I have owned the S9HD's for a while now and am very pleased with thier sound quality. I read the reviews that warned about sound quality being inferior to the S9s but couldn't fathom how a trusted name like Motorola could create a product with such a rich sound and then come out with a product that is supposed to address the shortcomings of the S9s but fall so short in sound quality. It's frustrating to realize that a later version could neglect such an important part of such a good predecesor. I haven't tested them in the gym for sweatproofness or outside to confirm them addressing the outside connectivity issues outdoors but to me, these fixes are a compliment to sound that was already perfect and doesn't justify the upgrade. Contrary to common belief, the buds only help sound quality minimally as the SRS WOW seems to have been eliminated. A few upgrades but overall they missed the point about maintaining S9's great sound
