    Sounds amazing, the detail is crystal clear and surround effects work great. Can be heard by other people in the room, but provides theatre system sound without disturbing the rest of the house, perfect for using at night. It would be nice if it had more bass. I use it daily.

    Feels like I have a full surround system when I'm watching a movie. Even when the audio is fairly loud for me it's not loud for anyone else. I bought this not wanting to wear anything on my ears or head for audio and they are a perfect choice.

    As much sounds as I could hope for from a neck phone speaker. We use this behind the desk in our gallery while watching TV on the monitor so when people walk in it doesn't look like we're wearing headphones, and if it's playing it can't be heard by customers over the gallery music. Extremely comfortable.

    Decent audio for podcasts and tv shows, but if you’re expecting magic out of these things, don’t bother. They’re just basic speakers with weak bass. The 3D doesn’t really work that well because the channels always seem slightly out of sync making me feel like I’m in an echo chamber instead of sound bubble.

    This device has been perfect for several reasons. First, my hearing is somewhat compromised and this device allows me to hear everything perfectly while watching my new TV. I also like it since being wireless I can move about my condo while continuing to hear a program. Best reason this device is perfect: I had to move into a one level condo with no stairways for mobility reasons. I have someone living over me in my condo. I was very concerned with disturbing them with loud volumes from my TV. This device is very quiet away from my shoulders and I am sure does not disturb my upstairs neighbor.

    I've been a Sony fan for many years. With my new Bravia tv purchase, I couldn't resist this Bravia bluetooth neck piece. Easily pairs with Bravia tv as well as both Samsung phone and tablet. The sound quality is all around you, just remarkable. The range is quite surprising, can easily go from living room to bedroom with no breakups. Charges with c power cord, same as phone and tablet. Great purchase, very pleased.

    The Sony Bravia Theatre U is an amazing speaker, that allows you to have a more personalize experience. I've been using this speaker for about 5 weeks and its been an amazing experience for listening to content without disturbing others around me at lower volume without the need of earbuds.

    I bought these on a whim. I have my own personal office space that I use for work and gaming. I’ve had desk speakers but the audio just wasn’t quite right. I made the decision to get this “neck set” and it’s so much of a better option. You can have great audio that won’t disturb everyone around you. Even at a more than normal sound volume you can still hear the environment if necessary. I no longer get fussed out by family (wife lol) to turn the audio down I can enjoy surround sound Dolby Atmos quality. It is refreshing. I don’t think I could go back in this kind of format. It is a bit on the pricey side but if you have the funds to get it don’t even question it. Especially if you’re using a newer Sony television. I personally changed from a monitor to a LG C4 OLED for my desk space and the picture quality with this audio is amazing. Plus you can also take calls from it (it will stop audio from input) but once you’re done it will resume.

    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.

We also appreciate your suggestion about a slimmer design; we're always looking for ways to improve our future products based on stories like yours.

    Greatest idea for people who aren’t comfortable wearing a device over your ears. Sometimes headphones might increase your body temperatures. Some people have specific size ears and they might be too sensitive to wear headphones that are in-ear. This design gives the user to hear it all, while giving the surroundings minimal disturbances.

    A Best Buy associate let us listen as we were buying a TV and we ended up walking out with this as well. Surprisingly great sound that surrounds you without cutting you off from ambient sound. Barely audible to others even when you have it turned up. You need to experience it — much nicer than wearing ear buds.

    I bought this to continue watching TV over our loud fan when my wife goes to bed earlier than I. It works great, can hear properly over the fan noise (which is 6 feet away from my head) and the sound is quite full and most importantly, it connects to my LG TV when i switch it on, I don’t have to go into TV settings to select each time. Very Happy!
