Question Ranking
Pros
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 Comes bundled with a charge case that stores 2+ extra charges

Pro Bluetooth range of 150 ft

Pro Has active noise cancelling
Pro Lightweight
Weighs just 6 grams (0.2 ounces).
Pro Very small
It's amazing how compact the earbud and portable charger both are. The diameter of the earpiece and charger are both considerably smaller than a dime. The earpiece itself is about the same size as regular wired earbuds, which is amazing considering that it has a battery and charging elements tucked away inside.
Pro Good audio
The speaker inside provides good, clear sound that gets sufficiently loud without sounding tinny. It can be used to play music, take calls, and more with no issues. The bass is slightly lacking, but that isn't surprising given the price and minuscule size.
Pro Wireless charging
The earbud magnetically connects to the portable charger and charges wirelessly. This keeps the design of the Rowkin Mini nice and clean, and also is convenient because you don't need to use a cable. The portable charger itself can hold enough juice to top up the earbud 4 times before needing to be recharged itself, which of course needs to be plugged in.
Cons
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
Con Mediocre call quality
The mic on this bluetooth headset isn't the best. While users on the other end can still make out what is being said, the quality of audio that the mic picks up is worse than even modern budget smartphones.
Con Short battery life
With constant use, you will only get an hour to an hour and half of battery life.
