Both of those are cheaply made, break quickly, regularly result in call issues and especially the plantronics is extremely uncomfortable when worn for more than an hour at a time. I wanted to wait a few months before I did a review to give my honest opinion. This one is nicely made, adjustable by removing or adding stuffing vie the zipped end and a sore ear disappears nicely into the hole while the head remains well supported for sleep. Nice big surprise was the shape of the zipper pull - it is curved and made it easier to hold on to versus a flat bar shape like many others. I think it is a bit of a shame that a great company like Amazon allows putting out such statements without clarifying right next to this statement that the battery and whatever else the rest of the statement means is not included in the package sent to one. Crisp without being too bright, the bass is potent without being overwhelming. The tools fit nicely in the center and there are two sectioned off compartments for the diamond containers. Incredible, high quality dock line. Now, I find that I have to get stiffed again by paying amost $20 return shipping. There is a lot of comparison between Chacos and Tevas: I did end up getting a pair of Tevas as well (majorly discounted) and those rub my feet in all the wrong ways!
