Customer Ratings & Reviews

I think these are good neck speakers. The sound is not that extraordinary for music, but I think it is for voice (ie, calls). I was a bit under the wrong impression that the sound is so directional that people around you would barely be able to hear it, but that’s not true. I guess that is not what Sony was trying to accomplish with these. My family could definitely hear what I was playing even when I had the volume turned down relatively low. Anyway, I have a small bone to pick and that is with the instructions included with the hardware. I wish Sony would get up to speed with the times and either include minimal (but important) features via pictures and diagrams or give clear, concise instructions. I felt like the paperwork included with the neck speakers are akin to the package insert you get with prescription medication when your pharmacist gives you the manufacturer’s bottle. Probably the most important feature Sony should have included was how to answer a call - that is, after all, the main point of these speakers. But, I couldn’t find it anywhere in the ‘instructions.’ Granted it was relatively easy to figure out, but still an important oversight on Sony’s part.

This is amazing. No dirty phones on my ears. My hands are free to type, write, and or eat. When I am on a call it as if the other person is in the room because there is nothing on my head, in my hands, or on my ears! I can listen to my music or an audio book in between phone calls and it doesn't bother anyone in office or at home. I don't have to be bothered with buds in my ears or headsets over my ears making them all hot and sweaty or running to find them when I get a call. It just hangs out on your shoulders. It easily connects to your phone or other bluetooth device. Full Battery life easily lasts all day. Really cool how the sound bounces off of your shoulders to project to your ears. Always have loved Sony quality too. Feels well made, lightweight, soft touch materials.

The ability to keep better tabs on things around the home and the office is where this set excels. The directional sound provided is sufficient enough to allow you to hear it clearly without disturbing anyone in the general area. You just won’t be able to turn it up too loud and expect to keep that peace up. Which can also be used a method of letting some know you don’t want to be disturbed too. The IPX4 rating is a nice feature for those who like to get away from their desk and go for a walk around the neighborhood without fear of causing water damage to the unit. And walking away from your desk is made easy by the ability to switch between two paired devices with the push of a button. The design is sleek, and the weight is nice too. Charging is easy using the USB-C charging port and the playtime gets me through a full day with no problems.

Bought to use while I am exercising upstairs and want to hear the TV downstairs (my gym is in a loft) After fiddling with the Sony TV to get it to pair, it is working now, but all volume is transferred to the headed and TV audio is muted (thus 4 not 5 stars) Once I figure that out, I will update my rating Unit itself is compact, comfortable and the sound is adequate. Stereo yes, but compared to in ear or over ear is not the same. I would compare to a bone conducting model

This neck band speaker is nice. It works great with my phone, was easy to pair and the sound quality is good. They were not so great for my Zoom or Teams calls. The sound would cut out for notifications on the laptop, so if a new email came in sound would drop from my meeting. I ended up closing my email so I could hear better. I was told that my voice sounded robotic or digitized when I would speak sometimes, even though I was right in front of my laptop. But, for using with my phone or listening to music or podcasts I think they work fine. I imagine they would be great to watch TV with as well.

I have wanted to try some neckband speakers since I saw my first pair some years back. These turned to be pleasing and annoying. The bluetooth connection was so transparent that I hadn't realized it happened until until I heard this little voice and wondered where it came from. So considered setup a surprising breeze. I will consider it a "senior" problem that I cannot esaily adjust the flush mounted volume controls although frankly I find it difficult to believe anyone can do this easily. Fidelity was really pretty good but some of us who are more comfortable with classic rock will need to find remastered versions of their favorites otherwise the "center" channel virtually disappears and you get different insturmental tracks a each ear. Disconcerting to say the least. I give these 3 stars, 5 for ease of setup, 2 for ease or use and sound.

Excellent! Even better than we anticipated. The music sound just being there around your neck is incredible. Perfect quality yet others around tou barely hear it.

This item was not loud enough for my client to use. He didn't care for the way it fits around his neck.

Love it wear it at work and when am walking after work

Bestbuy always has great prodicts and awesome prices !

Overall I liked the product. Its easy to have it on your neck and no more hassle plugging earpods

These wireless devices are not great you could hardly hear the music playing and they fall of your neck. For as much money I spent on them and there Sony you think they were worth the money, but sadly they are not.

I had high hopes for these but they have a serious issue. The headphones will shut off randomly right in the middle of a conference call. I am not talking about BT disconnecting. I am talking about it shuts off. You have to push the power button again to turn them on (you can tell they shut off because when you push the power button again, it says "Power On". Battery is at 90%, so its not a low power issue. This is my second pair and same thing. Sony support had me do a reset, but could offer no other help. I see reports starting to pop up of similar experiences. Since these are so new, I expect more reports will start rolling in. Being cutoff in a work conference call, is a serious issue.

Great item!!! Loving everything about it!!! Thanks for everything
