A friend recently showed me his Voyager Legend because I showed him my Voyager Edge and he was amazed by how small they are. When he handed me the Legend it was like somebody giving you a gallon jug of milk instead of a 1 Liter pack, they are positively huge compared to the Edge.

This is why I typically go for earbuds rather than a headset in that if I'm going out without a backpack it's tougher to take one.
