After purchasing another style headset for my wife, I observed that all the weight on the other brand is hanging low on the neck. I did not feel I would like that so I opted for the Motorola Buds. Overall I prefer the design over the other brand. Doesn't flop around and lays low on my neck. My shirt collar even covers the whole device. Battery life is acceptable but could be better. I get approximately 8 hours of use on standby, talking, and music.
