I have been using a voyager legend since 2013, and absolutely loved it. Recently my headset took a one way trip to the great electronics graveyard in the sky.
I found that Plantronics released a newer version of the legend, the voyager 5200 series. It is great. Simeler to the Legend, but just better designed. It has better audio quality, and the microphones are better in the 5200 series over the legend.

Actually, the Anker earbud has a hook that goes in your ear for stability; it has over-ear hooks as an option but I never use them. I may check out the Voyagers if I ever have need of a new set. The biggest issue with Anker is that they aren't the easiest to put in a pocket since the cord doesn't wrap easily.
