UPDATE: I've had these for a couple of weeks and I need to add an update because I just noticed something amazing about these. The earbuds hang down, and that can be annoying. But if you look at where the earbud wires come out on top, there are sliders that move so that the excess little wire will be less dangly! It's hard to explain, but it's AMAZING! Such a small design detail that is just fantastic. I wish I could give these 10 stars. If I get a chance I'll post some pictures to show.~~I picked these neckband earbuds because they look like they might be a bit sturdier than the other ones I've had in the past.They sound fine, although, to be fair, I listen to audiobooks and podcasts more than anything else so I'm not the best judge.The battery life is insanely great. They are super comfy. I wear them all day long. The way the earbud cord comes out of the top is actually a great improvement to other models in how they sit.They stay in my ears well and I often don't even notice them. I like to put one earbud in at a time if I'm trying to listen to what's going on around me, and having the neckband makes that super easy. The only small issue is that when I do that, the earbud I'm not using hangs down loosely. But I've never seen a good solution to this anywhere yet.When I am wearing the neckband but not using the earbuds, they hang together like a necklace with a little magnet.I can wear these if I'm laying on my side, but they aren't really flat enough to sleep in, which is a bummer, but since I can wear just one, I can switch depending on which side I'm laying on. The neckband is still comfy if I'm laying down as well.Overall, especially for the price, these are great so far. I am hoping they last a long time!
