It doesn’t need a lot of battery juice like the typical earphone because once you’re done talking with it, it will go right back to the phablet. It will be recharged the whole time when not in use (that’s why it does not need a lot of battery juice) instead of just resting on your ear. With regard to uncomfortableness on the ear usage this will get better during trial and error in the development stage or successive model issues. And when competition kicks in you’ll see several awesome choices instead. If you compare it with the typical earphone you will be wearing this one on your ear a fraction of the time only as once you’re done with a call it does not rest back on you’re ear but it will rest back on the phablet. You won’t look like a geek anymore.
