Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Affordable
This earpiece costs 1/5 of the others, while still offering a decent experience.
Pro On-headset controls
The rear plate is a physical button which can call the previous contact (double tap) or activate Siri (long tap) as well as a single volume button (5 levels - it cycles through from low to high and then back to low)
Pro Long battery life
Using just the one earpiece you can expect around 3.5 hours of battery life of continuous music playback. This time will be reduced slightly when making calls, however when compared to its competition it's a very decent result.
Pro Plenty of ear attachments
More than just different sized caps are included - you get two different styles of caps in multiple sizes. In addition, there are removable clear plastic clips that clip onto the earbuds to help keep them in your ear. These clips also come in different sizes, and are ideal when working out or moving around often when regular earbuds would have a hard time staying in your ear.
Pro Can be used as stereo earbuds
Included is an attachment that has a wire and an additional earbud. Plug the wire into the primary (larger) earbud, and you effectively have stereo bluetooth earbuds. It's your choice if you prefer to use the single earbud, or the pair (although the single earbud will provide longer battery life).
Pro USB charging
Instead of using a proprietary charger, there is enough room to include a fullsized regular micro-USB charging port on the earpiece. This means that there are plenty of affordable cables available if the original is too short or gets lost/damaged.
Pro Automatically turns on when put in ear and turns off when taken out
Hint is equipped with an Infrared proximity sensor that's used to active Hint when put in ear and turn off when taken out.
Pro Sits comfortably in-ear, with nothing sticking out
Moto Hint sits comfortably in-ear and unlike other Bluetooth headsets, doesn't stick out and is barely visible at a glance.
Pro Always-on voice control through Moto Voice if paired with Moto X
Moto Voice is a voice-activated personal assistant. It allows voice dialing, sending sms, getting directions, playing music, searching via Google, etc by issuing voice commands preceded by a wake-up phrase of choice.
Pro Available in 6 different finishes
Both the earpiece and the charge case that comes bundled can be customized with a choice of 6 different finishes.
Pro Comes bundled with a charge case that stores 2+ extra charges
Hint lasts about 3 hours on a single charge. It comes with a fold out charge case that holds 2+ extra charges increasing the life of Hint to about 10 hours.
Pro Bluetooth range of 150 ft
Hint can be paired with any Bluetooth smartphone and has a roam range of 150 feet.
Pro Has active noise cancelling
Pro Lightweight
Weighs just 6 grams (0.2 ounces).
Cons
Con Unbalanced audio output
When the additional earpiece is plugged in for stereo audio, the primary (larger) earbud is always louder than the secondary.
Con Constant blinking light
There is a small LED which is constantly blinking whenever the headset is connected to your phone. This will draw others attention, making it more awkward to use in public (one of the main reasons for going with a headset that doesn't stick out of your ear).
Con Bulky
While it doesn't stick out of your ear (much), the thick round disc at the rear of the earbud is sizable.
Con Poor sound quality compared to wired options
Inherent to small wireless in-ear devices that have to pack a lot of functionality and transmit data over a limited bandwidth, is the fact that they can't achieve sound quality that's on par with wired devices.
Con One ear only
