While I was employed, my company paid for my headsets, and I always liked this style vs the shorter ones. I went thru 3 of the named brands in 5 years as the rubber piece would eventually break.This one is identical to my last headset that also broke, and I decide to test them.As you can see from pictures, they look very similar in size. This one also comes with a chargeable case with one added bonus that I really liked: it shows the percentage of battery. My old one would tell you in your ear.You can also charge it directly to the headset and not carry the case.The one thing I liked about my old one, and they did this feature in their 3rd or 4th gen models, they switched from USB to a magnetic charger and a very convenient small holder. Perhaps this company would later come up with similar feature.The second added bonus on these is that the inner piece rotates to better fit inside your ear. It is at an angle, and you can't change the angle, but you can rotate it 360'.I used them at home as well as outdoors and the noise cancelling on my calls were great and no one complained about any wind or other noises, any more than the best air pods or my other one didOverall, I'm very satisfied with this and will update if/when the around the ear plastic would last as that's the number 1 part on these around the ears that usually fail.
