Sony - Bluetooth Wireless Neckband Speaker - Charcoal Gray

My son found them online, I went to Best Buy found two one for my son and I, they are so light you forget you are wesring them, uou can have the volume so low that you can hear and people standing 3feet away can’t hear, also when working in an office these are great because you don’t have to wear the annoying ones that go directly into your ears, I sold my Technics for these best decision I have made battery is great on this and light and great sound! i need to buy two more for my wife and daughter, I also showed my co-workers they were very impressed.

Pretty clear and light just not great in a loud environment gets drowned out pretty easily and lacks some Bass

This is a perfect gadget for those who want the benefits of having headphone like experience without the need to cover your ears. Maybe a niche area, but this fulfilled my need for a speaker device that I can walk around my condo while being able to hear what I want around me. Perfect for: Okay, this is not for ground breaking sound quality. It has an okay to good sound quality, definitely not as good as headphones for music and not as good as dedicated speakers. BUT! That's not what this is for! This is for the in between. I use this primarily as a headset replacement for long term virtual communication. I can walk around my condo WITHOUT losing contact with whomever I'm talking to while also not losing sound awareness or having anything hanging off or pressing on my ear. If you work from home and need to constantly be on a call/telecon, this will save your ears from anything pressing them or hanging off them and your hands from carrying things around. Also perfect for those long gaming sessions with online friends where you can stay connected while walking around and still listening to whatever you're listening too. The good: Light! You almost forget you have it on. Sound, loud enough for the wearer to hear without being blatantly loud. What it does! It's perfect for those who need headsets to talk to people but hate headsets. Long battery life. I can go like 3 days without recharging this. Noise cancelation; I can listen to my music, games, etc in the background and no one on the call can hear it unless it is obscenely loud.

Excellent Bluetooth speaker I have been using the Sony NB10 neck band Bluetooth speaker now for several days and it is outstanding. It is very light weight and comfortable. I have connected it to my computer as well as my phone to stream my HD/UHD music library and my Bluetooth projector and it works great. No audio delay when connected to my projector. It tells you when it is powered on and off and when it connects to Bluetooth. The imaging is outstanding. There are controls for volume up and down and the mute button allows you to advance to the next track when streaming music from your phone. There is a button to connect to a call when you receive a call on you cell phone. The call is crystal clear for both ends of the call. The only thing I wish it had was a little more bass. The low end is a little lacking. I can see how this would be a great device for office use instead of a headset. At higher volumes people around you may be able to hear the sound from the speakers. The other feature that I found was if you press the Bluetooth button once the unit is on it will tell you the battery level. The Sony uses USB-C changing so changing is fast. Sony claims 20 hours of use time but in the multiple days I have been using it I still have 40% battery time left. I have multiple Bluetooth speakers and this is now one of my favorites.

Sony - Bluetooth Wireless Neckband Speaker - Charcoal Gray Summary: Lightweight neckband that allows you to listen to music (or whatever) while on the go while also allowing you to listen to the world around you. Pros: * Form Factor. This neckband is just the right size. The fit overall is a good one. * Lightweight. The unit is light and doesn't feel heavy while equipped. * Audio quality. For a device that plays music up at your ears, the quality is quite nice. It won't be the experience of in-ear buds or cups, but that is the trade-off for being audibly aware of the world around you. * USB-C charging. Standard charging interface cable means fewer cable types to carry around. * Works for Intended Purpose. It definitely serves the purpose it was designed to fill. Music on the go while maintaining awareness. * Voice Feedback. Since this is a portable unit, you don't have tons of buttons. Voice feedback on operating status is super helpful for devices like this. "Bluetooth pairing mode," etc. Cons: * USB-C charging. It doesn't come with its own adaptor. You can use any USB adaptor, sure, but the tricky thing about USB-C is that some devices won't necessarily charge with high-output chargers (like one that I have) or ones that are too low (or the rate itself is too low). I list it as a con, but it's a potential inconvenience at best. * Directional audio is nice and it definitely delivers, but it wasn't as focused/targeted as I expected. As a result, it still isn't a device you would listen to on a plane, a bus, or a subway. Those around you will definitely hear the headset even on the lowest volume setting. Use: I seldom walk or jog with earbuds on. There are lots of bicyclists where I live, insane traffic, and also critters and animals roaming in the brush-covered preserves, sanctuaries, and groves I like to frequent. Being able to hear what is around you at some level is important and it is something you can't do with earbuds or cups. That is where this neckband shines. It just sits on your neckline and lets you absorb the surroundings and be aware all while enjoying some "ambient" music. Note: If I am holding a workout session at home, I still prefer a BT speaker on the shelf or possibly earbuds. The nature of the neckband means that gravity or sudden movements can cause this unit to fall off. My intention is to use this while I am working outdoors or going on hikes. Music makes the day go by quickly and who doesn't like to finish work "early?" ;)
