It is comfortable, extremely practical, and very light. The sound is stereo surround with four speakers. It has better sound reviews than famous brands. The only issues are with the battery life. It is rated at 4 hours, which several higher priced selections easily double. Additionally, for some reason, it only charges to 90%. I have never been able to get it to 100%. However, I can use it when doing chores and others have no problem hearing me when I use it for phone calls. It is also very simple to use. It is very rigid, but I had no problem sliding my neck into the device. I wish there was a case for it.

My expectations for this was pretty low, but it ended up sounding surprisingly decent, not incredible, but not bad. The build and materials of the device is sturdy, but cheap looking and feeling. Buttons and ports all seem a bit cheap, but nothing has broken yet. Bluetooth functions well, range is about average, battery life is good. It stays on fairly well if I do not move too much, but it will shift around a bit when on the rowing machine. Has USB C, that was surprising with such a cheap device. It has a few irritating flaws, it is always triggering the assistant on my tablet, because the assistant button on the device is the power button, so If the power button is held down to power off the device it will trigger the assistant first. Also putting a built in radio on a device like this is just stupid, it would have to have an antenna to even work and who uses a radio anymore anyway? Sometimes I accidentally press the mode button and get blasted by radio static. I never tried to use the SD card, so no comment on that. Overall I recommend it if you want to try out this style of device, it is surprisingly usable. It really made me want to try out the Bose, but I can't afford a $200 speaker right now.

There are several things that are good.Price is really goodRange from smart phone is very goodSound is goodUSB C connector is goodVoice announcing Power on and power off is nice vs a toneOk featuresNice to have FM but search tends to find stations that are unlistenable or marginal at bestButtons are ok, larger than someNot very goodMicrophone to talk on phone calls. Callers indicate sound is marginal at best. This might be a deal-breaker to return the neck speakers

Loved it until it would not hold a charge. I only had it a month.Update: Appear it was the charger plug on my end that was not able to charge the unit. I connected to the proper charger and it works perfectly. Excellant puchase and product. For $20.00 who would not love this thing.

I lost the manual so I had to just figure this out:Bluetooth mode and Music mode:Power: play/pause+/-: volume increase/decrease (works slightly differently compared to other bluetooth devices I've used, it does *not* change the volume on the phone, rather it keeps its own internal volume)press&hold +/-: next track/previous trackFM Radio mode:Power button: Start/stop radio scanning?+/-: Go to next/previous known station (does not tell you the frequency, you have to just listen)press&hold +/-: increase/decrease volume while held"M"ode switches bluetooth->music->FM in a cycle. A voice announces the mode. If you hear "Music" and then immediately after "FM Tuner" despite only pressing the button once, that means it couldn't find any music. A reboot (press&hold power) can help.The USB-C port works not only for charging, but also for data access for the microSD card, so that's pretty cool.The sound isn't anything to write home about, it's about the same as if I held my phone's speaker up next to my ear, but on both sides. Virtually no bass.

My ONLY complaint is the lack of a bit more Bass in the neckband, but this is a minor issue as I primarily listen to podcasts or audiobooks with this. Battery life for me has been 10 hours and I like the addition of a micro SD card. The FM tuner hasn't been able to pickup any stations, but that could be due to my location. Not a deal breaker. Overall, I am happy with this solution to listening to what I want to at work without adding more noise to my work environment.

I bought this to use at work since I can't use earbuds for safety reason. The sound is very good, if a little low on bass. The battery life is great...I use it a couple of hours each day and it lasts all week. The volume controls are a bit twitchy though, I keep accidently skipping to the next song while I'm trying to turn it up. For the price, this is an excellent buy.
