They are indeed earplugs. The instructions do state that you may experience better sound with your ears plugged in a safe environment. Mainly though, they include them so people can have proof that they are hearing through their bones and not their ears.
The buttons may vary from different models but I can tell you what they do on the Trekz Titaniums. The triangular button on the left will do several things. It can be held in and will say voice dial but on iOS, it will activate Siri. The two buttons on the right set the volume up or down but only when sound is playing. Otherwise, they announce the battery level. The volume up button nearest the right earphone will also act as a power button. Hold it in for a long press to turn on or off the headset. There's a way to reset the headphones also but I can't remember it. Hope that helps. Enjoy the headset. It's not the best for recording or for high quality listening but they're great for when you're out and about needing your ears free and not caring so much for sound quality.
