While they are fairly comfortable, the sound quality is poor, even for conference calls, which seems to be the most targeted usage. Voices sound very distant and volume is low. On the positive, no issue for other people to hear me.
I end up rarely using those. I much prefer the bone conductors headsets which are as comfortable and get much better sound.

I bought these as a replacement for a plantronics back beat that finally gave up on me. These have acceptable sound quality but they have very loud and obnoxious beeps at both turn on and turn off. I chatted with sony support about this and there's no new firmware or anything can be done so I returned them for credit.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Hi DSPatrick, We regret to hear about the issue you had with our wireless neckband speaker and it had to be returned. This is definitely not the customer experience we want you to have. Unfortunately, we currently do not have an option to disable the beeps or voice guidance for this unit. Any firmware updates for this unit, our website will be updated as well: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/speakers-wireless-speakers/srs-nb10/downloads. We are sorry for any inconvenience and we hope you will consider Sony again in a future purchase. Thank you. Vincent

Constantly beeps, sound quality is fairly poor, microphone is mediocre, and DEVICE CAN'T BE USED WHILE CHARGING. I don't know who thought that was a good design choice.
We are really sorry if you are experiencing issues with the SRS-NB10 Wireless Neckband Speaker. This is certainly not the news we'd like to hear from you. Please allow us to help you and turn this into a better experience.
Connecting the neckband speaker to an AC outlet or a computer automatically turns off the neckband speaker. While connected with a power source, the neckband speaker does not turn on. This is part of normal operation, and we appreciate your feedback with this function.
For the beep sound, if you are referring to a sound every 7 second when using the mute function on the neckband unit, we are sorry, but this feature can’t be turned off. This is part of normal operation. When you make phone call using our SRSNB10 paired to a mobile device and you push mute on the neckband unit, it will give a sound every 7 second reminding you that you have a call that’s on mute. As for the sound quality, this usually depends on the source that you're playing and audio device that you are using. While we are not sure what brand/model of audio device you have this Wireless Neckband Speaker connected to, you may try selecting the Priority on Sound Quality setting on the neckband speaker and see if it improves your overall listening experience. For instructions, please refer to the link below: https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-nb10/v1/en/contents/TP1000432563.html?search=sound%20quality
And for the microphone issue, the following article may help you solve the problem: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/speakers-wireless-speakers/srs-nb10/articles/00191760

I was replacing a head use i have been buying from Best Buy for at least the last 5 years. This one is heavy, bulky, allows no privacy because it’s more like a loud speaker and, now, it’s stopped working. I’ve plugged it in multiple times to charge it but it still hasn’t graced me with any service in weeks!

This is used for the TV to help my wife hear it better. The sound quality is very poor. We paired it with our LG Smart TV so she uses this bluetooth and I can still use the speakers and I dont get blasted out. There is a constant echo between her and the TV. It cuts out if she walks into the kitchen or bathroom both are only about 10 feet from the TV.
This was bought in replacement of the Sony SRS-NS7 Neckband Bluetooth Speaker/headphone for TV which cost $300. We had two of those and one set lasted a year the 2nd only 3 months. Both started emitting a high electronic sound and would not turn off.

A communication device that prioritizes comfort

Wearable headphone uhm speaker is not as weird as it sounds. They are actually making a lot of sense and look more natural than seeing people with headsets during online video conference sessions. I actually prefer these wearable speakers to my video conference headset for two reasons: Firstly, it is more comfortable to wear something on your shoulder than on your head. The device feels light. Secondly, they just work well. Unlike true wireless earbuds or headset that block your ears, you will get more sense of your surroundings when you use this device. Sony intended this device as a communication device for people who works from home, though there are many potentials of this device beyond being simply a work from home gadget.
Initiating the device is as simple as charging them with the supplied USB-C cable and pairing them with your gadgets. The device can pair to multiple gadgets at the same time so you can connect your smartphone and your PC at the same time and the device will play audio whenever there’s an active sound being played in one of your gadgets. The battery is rated to last 20 hours so it should last an entire online video conference session for the whole day. However, none of my online video conference lasts that long to confirm it.
The device does its job really well in picking up speaker’s voice. There’s a dedicated mute button, which is a really great feature when we’re using them for online video conference. Audio quality is good for this purpose. If you intend to use them for listening to music, sure you can. However, you can’t compare them to the listening experience of enjoying your full range speakers or your monitor headphones so the performance will surely disappoint audiophiles. The device is primarily intended to function as a communication device meaning the acoustic profile is not geared towards musical enjoyment.
If you’re tired wearing your headphones when listening to music in extended session, this device can be a much more comfortable alternative but in no way that this device can substitute the acoustic performance of a very good pair of headphones. It’s going to be quality vs. comfortability. Also, being essentially wearable speakers, people near you will hear what you hear when you play audio loud enough with the device. So, privacy is something that you should consider if you intend to use it in a non-private space.
The device has an IPX4 splash resistance rating meaning that it can endure splashes of water say that you are running in the park and it starts to rain heavily. Though the rating means that the device can endure heavy rain, it is not intended to endure exposure to water beyond 5 minutes nor can it be completely immersed in water. The splash resistance rating is still very useful because it means that this device is outdoor friendly.
Overall, this is a very good product from Sony because it does its job well as intended.

I saw a similar review of this speaker and thought the person was exaggerating, but these are a HORRIBLE set of speakers. I can barely hear what anyone is saying. I have to be sitting in a perfectly quiet space, and still have to actively listen because the max volume on these is so low. I wasn't expecting high quality sound because all I wanted was something to take conference calls on. I am returning these.
We are so sorry if the loudness/maximum volume of this Wireless Neckband Speaker didn't live up to your expectations. This is definitely not the experience we wanted you to have on our premium product. If you still have the unit, please refer to the steps below to troubleshoot this problem:
The loudness as well as the sound quality of our SRS-NB10 will depends on the source that you're playing and audio device that you are using. You can easily control volume to a level that’s comfortable for you by touching the volume button on the side of this Sony neckband speaker. You can also play and pause when listening to music. However, depending on the BLUETOOTH device, it may be necessary to adjust as well the volume or set the audio output setting on the connected device. You may also try using different Bluetooth devices to isolate the problem.
For additional troubleshooting, you may refer to the following articles: https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-nb10/v1/en/contents/TP1000466464.html https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-nb10/v1/en/contents/TP1000432530.html?search=volume

This is the first time I’ve had a neckband speaker. I have to say I am impressed and pleased with the Sony Wireless Neckband Speaker.
The Neckband speaker comes with a quick start guide, reference guide and a USB-C charging cable. The cable is very short, only 6” and the quick start guide is OK, but there are only illustration and no actual written directions. It’s easy enough to follow, but written words would be more helpful. The charging cable is too short to charge and listen at the same time. It could have been longer at least 24” like other items that come with a charging cable. The Neckband Speaker doesn’t come with an AC adapter either. For $149 Sony could have included a longer USB-C cable and an AC adapter.
The Sony Neckband Speaker is light weight and comfortable. The band that goes on the back of the neck is made of a rubber type material and is very flexible. The only problem with that is if you sweat the band can get uncomfortable and irritate the skin. I use either a towel or scarf around my neck when I use it for exercise or walking.
The sound is clear and the charge lasts for a several hours (approximately 20). I was able to listen to 2 full audio books on a single charge.
The buttons are slightly raised making them easier to find. Functions include Power button, Microphone/mute button, Bluetooth indicator LED light and charging connection on the right side of the Neckband. On the left side are volume controls (- and + indicators), along with the play/call button in between them.
The Neckband Speaker’s microphone is when the external noise isn’t too loud. The noise cancellation is better than using the phone or laptop speakers, but the person on the other side can still hear some background noise.
There is no specific App for the PC or smart phones. There is a website that Sony provides in the quick start guide as a scannable bar/square code. From this site you can download a help guide in your cell phone documents folder as a .PDF file.
The Sony Wireless Neckband Speaker has a built-in microphone for calls and gaming. It worked well with my cell phone and laptop. It works well when there isn’t much background noise, but if there is a lot of noise (children playing, people talking, TV on, etc.) it’s harder to hear the call. The person on the other end of the call can hear background noise.
I recommend it for its portability, light weight, and sound quality. For me it’s great for listening to my audio books. It’s a good Neckband Speaker for the price as compared to other Neckband speakers.
