Let me start by saying I’ve been using these neckband Bluetooth headphones for about a month now, and they’ve been my go-to for both work and workouts. The retractable earbuds are a game-changer—no more tangled wires or losing one bud in my gym bag. The vibrant yellow silicone not only looks cool but also muffles the sound when retracting, which is a nice touch.

The battery life? Impressive. I listened to an entire audiobook (yes, 29 hours!) without needing a recharge. That’s insane for the price. The neckband itself is comfy, and the foldable design makes it easy to toss into the included carrying case. No complaints there.

But here’s the catch: the microphone is *rough*. On calls, I sound like I’m shouting from inside a tin can. My coworkers kept asking if I was on speakerphone. If you’re buying these primarily for calls, look elsewhere. For music and podcasts, though? They’re solid—clear stereo sound with decent bass, as long as you don’t crank the volume too high.

Another gripe: noise cancellation is hit or miss. It works fine for blocking out background hum during playback, but pause your music, and you’ll hear everything around you at half-volume. Not ideal if you’re in a noisy environment.

Final verdict? Great for casual listening and workouts, but don’t rely on them for calls or true noise isolation. At this price, they’re a fair deal—just know their limits.
