Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a life changer for starters. You kinda don't want to go anywhere without them, and they become an essential accessory just like your phone! This has replaced all my earphones at the moment and gives me what I look for to enjoy music while still being around others. I'm aware they're made for TV listening, but please don't look at this point of view. It's for everything, especially music. The reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars is that the lack of bass and call quality can be better. I'm aware bass would make people neck shake, but I just know Sony will figure something out to make a difference in the next model. If 100% being maximum bass is loudest, I think Sony can give us 40% improvements for bass for future releases, I'm not even a bass head let alone my dad and he mentioned that right away which surprised me. The call quality doesn't seem like something that is needed to improve in the next model since it seems software limitations on calls are making it questionable. During those calls, you can hear people through the speakers but the loudness and clarity isn't there which makes no sense since TV & music audio is crystal clear and loud to point that they become noise cancelation which is pretty cool (okay I did notice through streaming apps on my Samsung S24 Ultra that some movies seems a little muffled and not as clear) otherwise everything is great! I'm also impressed that you can put these down a table or hang it somewhere and they become a portable speaker loud enough for a large room to enjoy, that was a crazy highlight of a feature so Thank You Sony for that! (Please don't get crazy and lower the volume on these for future models for the sake of cost-cutting, the muti-purpose is amazing) I would like to mention that the Sony headphone connect app is awesome with its built-in Equalizer, so take advantage of that as well! (Sony would be nice if they took some pages from Sennheiser Equalizer app), but yes, pretty impressive device being a 2nd generation model and the price is worth it. Some great deals to get an awesome price on these, too, but give them a try! Won't regret! I look forward to a 3rd generation model in a few years with expected improvements, Thank You!

Amazing sounds quality and easy to connect. Purchased for my grandma that used hearing aids and had difficultly hearing the dialogue from her TV. This speaker almost has an encapsulating noise canceling effect. Excellent lightweight comfortable design for all day use. Great battery life and very strong bluetooth connection.

I had the Bose neck wearable speaker,which is no longer available through Bose. Mine had just gone out. I had surgery scheduled and I was not able to use over the head phones after surgery..With my Bose wearable speaker out of commission I searched for an alternative wearable speaker. I found the Sony Bravia wearable speaker. I thought these might only work with Bravia TVs,however after viewing a video on YouTube,it said you could use the wearable with laptops,and other devices. I decided to order these. They connect to all my TVs easily as well as other devices. The sound is of high quality. These have been a godsend while recovering from my surgery. I wear these almost all day(comfortably)with no cutting out throughout the house.This wearable has a long range. I also use this wearable speaker with Mee audio with 2 of us watching TV at the same time while wearing our wearable speaker. Music also sounds great! A big thank you to Sony.

All I can say is "Wow!" to the new Sony - HTAN7 BRAVIA Theatre U Wearable TV Speakers. Once connected through Bluetooth, this comfortable, light-weight, around-the-neck speaker pair creates an immersive, dancing 3D wall of sound just for your ears, without blocking them from the rest of the world. I have a late model Sony Bravia television at home that supports 360 Reality Audio. It took just a minute to connect the Theatre U Speakers to it via Bluetooth and begin enjoying the 3D surround sound just in my personal space. One of the reasons that I wanted to try the BRAVIA Theater U Wearable TV Speakers is that when my husband and I are watching television with sound over our regular sound bar, my husband is always complaining that he cannot make out certain lines of dialog. To see if it would make a difference with these new speakers, I downloaded the Sony Speaker application to my phone. I setup the app to control the Bravia Threatre U Wireless Speakers, and then set the mode to Vocals. I had my husband try the Theatre U Wearable Speakers on a show with an episode with which I know he had trouble making out the dialog previously. Using these speakers, he was able to pick up every nuance of the show's dialog, while still be able to enjoy all the 3D surround sound effects and music. He was impressed. I then took the speakers downstairs to our TV of another brand. It does not support 360 Reality Audio. Bluetooth setup was just as quick as with the Bravia. Once connected, the sound was still surround and rich, with clear dialog. These speakers allow you to sit and enjoy the show without blasting out the neighbors and while still being able to converse with your spouse. We were so impressed with the Sony - HTAN7 BRAVIA Theater U Wearable TV Speakers that we went and ordered another one. Both of us can sit and enjoy the sounds individually, but together. I would definitely suggest them to friends and family.

Great wearable speaker. Best of its kind with not really any other comparables that I'm aware of. It's like wearing a small soundbar - full immersive sound, comfortable & lightweight (you can forget you're wearing it). The advantages are you can enjoy great sound, without content being too loud for the household - for a more personal or "quieter" for-everyone-else experience. Or for the hard of hearing, certain TVs (more so Sony Bravia TVs) can output tv sound simultaneously with bluetooth to this Theater U device, to give the user the needed louder volume without having volume too loud for anyone else. Another bonus is you can have 2 devices connected to the Theater U: have your phone connected to take calls hands-free, or you can connect 2 of these Theatre Us together to the same source (your TV), & make it a duo experience (again for example to not disrurpt anyone else - say kids, or vice versa when they're watching their content). You also have low latency if you choose to plug this in with a wired connection - to a controller for immersive gaming & a personal experience without the headphones, & still have a mic/bluetooth connection theoretically, though I have not tried this yet myself. On sale for $199, though not the cheapest device, it is a nice premium product you can compare to similarly priced headphones; except that you don't have to wear those over the ears; which may not be preferred to some - because headphones can get warm/uncomfortable, or start to feel some soreness after an extended period of time depending on the headphones (another advantage being you can be more aware of your surroundings with the Theater U versus headphones). There is a less expensive variant by Sony on sale currently also for $99 (normally $149), being half the price of the Theater U; however I imagine it being about half as good also, with less premium sound & features (good for price, perhaps for kids etc) for another comparable wearable speaker, up for consideration.

This is my 4th collar speaker. I have an oraolo m110, sony srs-ws1, sony nb10, and this one. The oraolo sounds just ok, the nb10 has very little bass but still a good speaker, the ws1 sounds fantastic but has no onboard bluetooth, and this HTAN7 (theater u) sounds great, not as much bass as the ws1, but close. The HTAN7 is super comfortable, stylish, and if you can get it on sale, worth the money. I mod my speakers with some washable fabric liners which are fairly inexpensive. Besides collar speakers, there's also little clip-on speakers, but the really small ones (size of a chicken egg) don't sound anywhere like the HTAN7 theater u in my experience.

Vey good product for clarity with decnt surround sound.i do wish it had more bass overall still loud enough to get the job done. The primary neck strap can have a little less give to maintain the security and hold the shape better on your neck also.soild product

I was sceptical at first, but these are so much more comfortable then headphones and they are much quieter then speakers if you don’t like headphones but can’t be to loud with speakers these are perfect. The range is a little lower then other Bluetooth headphones I have, they start cutting out if I leave the room and close the door.

Game changer for me! The Sony - HTAN7 BRAVIA Theater U Wearable TV Speaker is very comfortable and allows me to really hear the dialogue without blasting the sound of the TV. Great stereo sound as well!

It sounds pretty good for a speaker you wear around your neck, however I do question it's practicallity. I could see more people using this as a gaming speaker for their pc rather than a "TV speaker". It's good and does the job. I found it was relatively comfy for my neck, however my case does not guarantee yours. Honestly, I don't see myself recommending this to a friend.

Excellent product. Very lightweight and powerful sound without hurting your ears. They rest lightly on your shoulder sitting quite comfortable. Great price and highly recommend. Most of all wireless with no cords.

Phenomenal headset for listening to music while having surrounding awareness. It can also act as a speaker audio is also nice; great battery life

Bought this for an elderly parent who needs assistance with hearing and this is life-changing for them! The sound is outstanding and the entire device is pretty lightweight. I would recommend this for anyone looking for great sound and a need to be discreet (late night TV watching or music listening).

Awesome, comfortable, great sound. Easy to sleep with (better than headphones). Battery life better than expected. Paired easily with system.

Very good sound and volume without being cut off as with over the ear headphones.

I was on the fence about buying these. I have more headphones and wireless speakers than I can count. After using these for a while I really like them. If watching content in the same room with others (like TV is on, but I'm on my iPad) the directed sound is less obtrusive to others, but way better sounding than a tablet or phone. And I don't feel closed off from others like I do if wearing headphones or earbuds. I bluetoothed to my TV in the garage and the sound follows me, and I can still hear when my heater turns on. They are comfortable enough I forget I'm wearing them sometimes. Typical Sony build quality. I wish the on/off status was clearer, but otherwise highly recommended.

So we got this on sale for $200. We thought it was just for fun and didnt really need it since we have the sony surround sound already. Boy was I wrong....that is exctly why we needed it. Wife complains I watch movies to loud. And I complain she plays video games to loud. This solves all that. I forget I have it on sometimes and think it is just our surround sound. Great addition to our home theater

Excellent product, this is a great replacement for my soundgear from sony. And it has great Bass and its also lighter. I use this whil laying down too and the thin rubber in the back is very comfortable.

A very good device and a niche use case experience. I now use it overnight and late evenings when watching loud movies and definitely I can go volumes-up without disturbing my neighbors. Should be also a good add-on for gaming setup. I stalled originally before the purchase as I was not sure about the usage but enjoying it now. My recommendation is if the manufacturer can make a slimmer version with this surround sound quality.

This is actually a neat device. Connected easily, and stayed connected. Sound was nice. But it can be heard for quite a distance. I wanted a device that only I could hear. Exchanged for ear buds. BUT. It's a nice device if it fits your needs.
