    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.

    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.

    Good sound, works as advertised. Great alternative to headphones when you're not feeling like wearing them. Sounds can be heard if you're in the same room, but drops quickly with distance. Bass could be a bit more punchy, but great detail in the sound.

    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.

    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!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have the older version of this neckband, sounds pretty cool and amazing. The ilder model connects via this puck that is connected to optical input of tv ( has to be Sony tv ) or using the Bluetooth. This newer one connects via Bluetooth only. Sounds pretty good as well and maybe better than the older model. Mot that the older one sounds ok, it still sounds very good but it had some echo if you connect it via the puck. The neck band of this newer version is flexible unlike the older version. Both are fantastic in my opinion, others may not like this. To each his / her own. Yes, i do recommend this IF u have a Sony tv, will still work with other tvs but you have to use the Bluetooth funtion.

    A good movie theater like experience, using it at night when I have to be quiet for others sleeping. Lacking Bass though. Not as good as my Home Theater Headphones by JVC, but a fraction of the cost. Good enough when purchased on sale.
