SOUNDGEAR WEARBLE NECK SPEAKERS

Product Information

After his stints at Beebom and MrPhone, Varun has been covering different facets of technology at Guiding Tech. Unlike those other speakers, this product isn’t Bluetooth enabled, so it has to be attached to your phone or another sound source by an extremely long cord. I never saw any reason to take it off since it helps the speaker blend better with clothing — to the degree that a neck speaker can possibly blend in — and keeps out moisture. These seem like they serve the purpose of being able to secure the buds to you when you are doing something like running or any number of physical activities that will jostle around the buds but keep them reasonably connected to you the wearer, but not have a cord trailing down to the device. Based on our experience, the sheer number of options on the neckband speaker market can be overwhelming.

It has better audio than my phone, so I use it to listen to podcasts in my kitchen while I am cooking.The Monster Boomerang Neckband Bluetooth speaker is a great product for those looking for a convenient and stylish way to enjoy music.

Now obviously headphones with "transparency mode" exist, that have mics that will pipe outside noise though your headphones so that you can hear things around you while listening to music, but those tend to be quite a bit more expensive. While biking you move your head a lot to see what’s around and there were very noticeable changes in loudness depending on head position. Perhaps you've then cringed at the thought of, a) being that person who forces other people to listen to their music/phone conversations and, b) looking slightly silly. The upward-facing X-Balanced speaker unit and passive radiator fill the room with rich, crystal clear sound. Using beamforming technology and upward firing drivers, Halo steers sound toward your ears and not people around you.

The neckband speaker also includes a noise-canceling microphone for clear sound, and the 1000mAh rechargeable battery provides up to 24 hours of playback time. As is the case with most products from the brand, Sony’s SRS-NB10 neck speaker stands out from the crowd too. Whether it's immersive 3D sound from Monster Boomerang, 360-degree sound from Sony, or gaming-focused MAGESS technology from Panasonic, neck speakers continue to evolve to provide users with a personalized and enjoyable audio experience.
