Yet another bluetooth headset

I wrote¹ at the beginning of June about the well-engineered YYK-520 headset that I could use for calls, keeping my hands free. The headset worked well as such, but I had problems hanging it properly on my ear. As I wrote at the time, another option was the rechargeable wireless business clip-on earbud: I ordered one from Temu which came a few days ago, and yesterday was the first chance that I had to use it. 

Apart from the price difference (this costs only a third of the headset), it's much easier to use as I only have to put the earpiece into my ear - there's no need to hang anything anywhere. In the picture on the left, the device is hooked onto my shirt and there's a thin wire leading up to my ear - I should have turned my head a little to show the earplug. I've fielded several calls and this device is much easier for me to use than the headset. I imagine that those who use the headset aren't removing it all the time in order to put on music headphones.

As I wrote originally, the documentation is a joke. I'm not too sure that I'm turning it off correctly in the afternoons, but I charge it when I take it off and this seems to be practical.

One thing that I wondered about: what happens to the wire when the earpiece is not in use? It turns out that like a fishing rod, there's a button on the device that reels the cable in, causing the earpiece to sit on top of the device. Design-wise, I might have made the multifunction button larger, or moved it away from the other two buttons, but I can live with how it's designed.
