Bluetooth Headset, Neckband Bluetooth Headphones with Retractable Earbuds

Works great...great sound ....

These are good. The sound/volume is good. They fit nice. Look nice. The only thing that bugs me is the noise they make, pulling the ear buds out. I had LG tones for many years. They stopped making the ones I used to purchase. They were quiet. Guess I can get over it, get used to the noise. Otherwise all good, so far.

Ear buds that can be easily lost are the least preferred so the neckband types are most suitable to preference. Some smaller profile neckbands were purchased in the past and have worked well so this was an attempt to try a little bit different style since the earbuds retract rather than those that connect magnetically to the neckband also leaving wiring exposed. There are tradeoffs. these are a bit cleaner and easier and wiring and given the retractable earbuds but they are a bit bulkier as a result and less forgiving in flexibility. They do fold for easy storage which may make traveling with them a little easier as they do come with a nice zippered case that stores the headset and the charging cable. I also like the fact that it can be used for other purposes if not for use with the headset. They are thicker to house the retractable feature so a little less forgiving in the flexibility as some of the other headsets with magnetic earbud storage. The charging connector is on the bottom of the headset. That could matter depending on your charging habits and how it may rest while being charged but not a factor here one way or the other. There are different colors (and at different prices as a result). Since I have other previous models similar in function getting used to these buttons took a little time but seems now natural to adjust to them. I do like the actual on/off switch as opposed to the type that require holding a button for a few seconds to power on and off. The latter sometimes makes it difficult to know when it's turned off or having to listen through the earbud whether it was turned on or off. The battery life seems way better than what I am accustomed to with some other models. Charging is usually done overnight or when low and a second set is alternated so length of charge doesn't cause any concerns. There are two buttons one on each side to retract each ear bud. To use just pull on the ear bud the desired length and press the button to easily retract. So far it has not failed to retract. Sometimes listening to podcasts only one ear bud is used at a time so nice that one is retracted while the other is in use. Overall I do like the functionality of this headset but do wish it was just a little less bulkier.

I've seen neckband headphones before and always thought it was a weird gimmick. Then I bought one. I now believe they are the superior form factor. Let me cook. There are two main form factors for audio devices in the mainstream, headphones and earbuds. I like myself a good headphone. One that goes over my ear and wraps around my head. Feels so cool to pull it down when it's not in use so that it rests on my neck. But the large ear pieces does end up getting in the way of moving my head and neck. But where else would I put it? In my pocket? Earbuds sound better right? Smaller form factor and all. Few problems though. You can easily lose an earbud, it being so small actually makes it harder to implement physical control options that don't force you to pull out your phone and you still have to carry a charging case in your pocket. That last point seems petty right? Am I really complaining about putting a tiny case in your pocket? Well what if I told you this non-issue could be avoided anyway? I want to stress, do NOT underestimate the value of being able to store an essential object someplace that does not see use otherwise. This product does comes with a case. You DO NOT need it. You can just wear these headphones at all times. To be fair and clear, I don't do things like extreme sports or much physically strenuous activities at all so I don't know how this product would be useful for you if you do those kind of things regularly. I can say however that I can eat with this on. Carry most items with this on. And even if you do those kinds of activities, I cannot see why and cannot imagine how this product and it's ilk could get in the way anyway (still, check other reviews for more info). The only instance I have come across where I put these headphones on, leave the home and then have to put it away again even if for a short time is for haircuts and honestly, you could try and keep them on during a haircut. Just know I will be judging you severely. Neckband headphones do not restrict your movement at all like with headphones with the slight exception where with this specific model, sometimes you hit the cable retraction button with your chin if you're looking down and to the side. Does this happen every time? No. Could this product be redesigned to avoid this issue? Absolutely but that's not what I'm reviewing right now and frankly it's such a minor issue. It doesn't even pull the earbud out of your ear if it happens. So it does not get in the way like headphones and can be carried about much easier than headphones but how does it compare to earbuds? Well I mentioned that this product does come with a non-charging case but you do not need it so you're just saving room in your pocket by going neckband over earbud. But to go back to headphones for a moment, imagine having them on and someone tries to talk to you. You'd have to lift an earpiece to hear them or for a longer term solution, tuck the earpiece behind your ears. Pretty awkward but you get used to it as a headphone user. Earbuds seem better right? Just pluck one piece out and hold it until you're ready to put it back in your ear. Except whoops, you bumped into something and dropped the earbud. God help you if it lands in between a grate. You can put it back into the case for safety but then that means fishing the case out of your pocket and GOD HELP YOU if you drop the CASE and it lands in between a grate. Neckband headphones though? Drop it like it's hot because guess what, the ear piece is still attached to your neck. That's hands-free storage without having to dig out and put back a small case. You don't even need to retract the earpiece if you don't want to. And unlike most earbuds who usually can incorporate only a single button in their ear pieces and have to program multiple button push styles to facilitate basic controls beyond just pausing, this model just has 3 buttons. Play. Rewind. Skip. If you want to change volume, just hold down the skip or rewind without pulling out your phone. No need to remember what happens with your earbud and it's one button if you double tap it, hold it down for a few seconds or god knows what. At this point, I have brought up every issue I've had with the mainstream form factors and how the neckband headphone avoids or addresses them. So what else is there to address? Well are still concerns to address. Firstly that I don't wear a lot of necklaces or such so I have nothing conflicting with these headphones on my neck. I can see how it could conflict if you do wear necklaces and stuff. Do I think this could be a big issue? No, just put on these neckband headphones last so it doesn't conflict with what's underneath or anything above. Is this an effective solution? I dunno, I don't wear much on my neck. Check other reviews for testimonials. No, my main issue is that this model with their retractable earbuds does leave me concerned with the earbuds eventually breaking either by it getting smacked at an awkward angle while retracting or the wire just not holding up one day when you're pulling it out to use it. Has it happened so far? No. Am I still concerned? Yes. The inside of the neckband does have cushioning to let the earbuds fully retract without breaking but it's kinda slight cushioning, not exactly a soft pillow. Only time will tell how long this retraction gimmick will last. That said, there are other neckband headphone models without a retraction gimmick. You might think they just hang there and get in the way then but the designers already kind of addressed this with magnetic earbuds so that they attach to each other when not in use. Is it a perfect solution? Eh, not really? But that's why I chose the retraction model over those. But if these do end up breaking one day, I WILL be trying that style out if for nothing other than curiosity. Finally, I have tried to sell neckband headphones as the best of both worlds between headphones and earbuds but there is one last issue I have and that is greed. MY greed. I want more. The main reason why I usually choose headphones over earbuds is because there is a style of headphones that let you insert an SD card and play music from it without ever needing to connect to a phone. Do I use it a lot? Not really? Do I still want that function for unusual cases? Absolutely. But the only neckband headphone I found with that function does not also do retraction. So I'm saying right now, if someone develops a neckband headphone with retractable earbuds AND Sd card storage and access, basically this exact model but with Sd card capabilities, that might just be the perfect headphones for me. Ever since I bought these headphones it feels like one small step for the industry, one giant leap in my quality of life.

I bought this set because I am on Zoom meetings very frequently for my job and would like to both tune out my environmental noise with some type of headphone/earbud but also avoid wearing the headset with the microphone-in-front-of-the-mouth deal, which gets annoying to wear all day, doesn't look very good on camera, and also is frustrating to take off constantly and put on properly when receiving a call. I figured something like this headset where I could just pop in an earbud as needed and have something around my neck rather than my head would be great. It didn't turn out that way. The pros: -Headset comes with a nice carrying case and folds up to a size slightly larger than an eyeglasses case, and comes with a carabiner. Handy. -It connected easily with both my iPhone and my PC computer via bluetooth. -The sound quality is very good and once you try a couple sizes of earbuds and pick the right one, they stay in (though I have not tried it with vigorous exercise). For airplane travel and the like, these would probably be a very good choice. -Battery life is at least a few hours if you keep the volume to a reasonable level. The cons: -#1 is the microphone. When I started using it, my coworkers asked me what was wrong with my computer. It sounds like you are talking from the bottom of a well even though the headset is essentially resting inches from your mouth. I didn't expect better quality than an actual headset mic, but I did expect the equivalent of phone earbuds where the microphone rests on your chest. It's not even close to that. This is the primary reason that my rating is so low, as this is the primary reason I bought the headphones and they're essentially useless. I suppose I'll use them for something else eventually. -I am not sure if the length of the earbud wire is sufficient to keep the earbuds from tugging out of your ears during vigorous exercise. Again, haven't tested this, but I would think while running and the base of these headphones are bouncing around, you may have problems. I hovered between a 3 and a 4 on these but ultimately decided on a 3 because as I said, they are not functional for the purpose I bought them. If you advertise a headphone with built-in microphone for answering calls etc, you should be able to deliver in all aspects of your advertising. If you're just using these headphones for listening to audio, go for it. They're nice BT headphones at a nice price.

over the past 10 years or so, I’ve had about five of these type of headsets. All from different brands, but the hardware itself I’m sure is made in the same place. I like them because if I’m working outside I can just remove the earbuds without having to put away the entire headset. Over the years I can tell the sound quality has slightly improved. However, there is one thing that drives me nuts that has not improved, not one bit throughout the years; And that is the disastrous microphone. This headset I believe has the worst microphone of all. When checking the volume and quality, I can clearly tell that there is a 90% volume loss when comparing to the built-in microphone (see picture) I don’t understand how after 10 years no one has thought of improving the microphone for these headsets. I believe the reason for the horrible mic in this design, is that they didn’t add a mic hole. In my previous headset the mic hole is clearly visible. While on this new design the hole on top of the on and off switch is for the light. Imagine having a phone case that covers your mic? That’s what this design has done. And in sorry, I’m not letting that pass.

I just replaced the identical headphones from 3 years ago. Yes, they are subject to breaking at the hinge but without a lot of abuse and near daily use they lasted 3 years and I love them. The old pair still works great but one of the hinges is starting to fall apart. For this price what you don't get is noise reduction in the microphone. Making calls works great but zero filter for background noise on your end. Music sound quality is very good and I'm very satisfied. The layout is what I love. No losing one of the buds, and you can quickly store one or both in the base. Again, not being rough with the retractors pays off in the long run. And no, I never shove these in my back pocket. Even if you don't sit on them, I doubt they would last very long with that type of stress. Why would anybody do that when the are designed to store on the neck? I like having USB-C for charging now - the old set was micro USB. You can see the battery level, at least on my Android phone.

Generic Bluetooth headphones. I have successfully connected them to an iPhone 13, 2023 iPad Pro, 2018 iPad Pro, 2022 iPad, Steam Deck, a windows 11 Digital Storm gaming computer and a windows 10 HP gaming laptop. They fit securely around your neck, come with a small soft sided pleather type carrying case a charging cable and additional sizes of the ear buds. The sound quality is about what you would expect from a generic Chinese knockoff headphone in this price range but it mostly sounds ok as long as you keep the volume under control. It advertises noise canceling and while listening to books it seems fine, however if nothing is playing you can hear every sound at a reduced volume. I have had excellent battery life with the unit working for the entire 29 hrs. of an Audible book without needing a recharge. Overall I am happy with this purchase and believe it is a good value for a inexpensive device.

Was initially good, but after return window the headphone connects to my phone only for calls and not for audio, need to switch off/on to get audio option connected otherwise cannot listen to music. Sound quality ordinary.

Great Product. Good sound clarity. Long battery. A wee bit heavy , but otherwise a perfect product. It connects to 2 phones and this is a useful feature

Low quality battery

Están perfectos y llegaron a tiempo a la CDMX, buen sonido y bajó

Buenos
