Yes, the neckbands are wired in that the two buds are connected via a wire, but they are otherwise wireless in terms of connecting to your phone/computer. The fully wireless buds are impractical because, if you want to take one or both out of your ears, you must find a pocket or something to put them in, and it's annoying to dig them back out of your pockets. Especially when you just need them out for a short time. Conversely, you can pull a neckband earbud or both out of your ears and simply drop it and it will stay around your neck. No need for a pocket. No need to pull it back out of your pocket. This is especially a big deal if you work with your hands and they are dirty or wearing gloves. Then, when you want them back in, they are easy access around your neck and you can fit them back in your ears without worrying about dropping them. If you haven't tried them out, I suggest you give it a shot.

Agreed. There's also no way I would trust myself not losing true wireless buds. I've had my LG-hbs810 for 6 years without issues with an insane amount of usage.

Here is some, based on my experience with both types. :) 1. Cable is microphonic, that is the sound you hear when the cable rub into your shirt and get passed into your ear. The neckband style suffer from this and depending to the cable material, some is worse than the other. True wireless completely eliminate this problem. 2. Cable still limit your head movement. For example, when I turn my head to the side, the cable (as weightless as it is) could pull the earphone in my ear even just a tiny bit. This break the seal and I need to adjust the earphone again. True wireless don't have this issue. 3. Some neckband style earphones don't magnetically attach to each other. Walking around with these hanging around from my neck is a pain, they wiggle right and left, very annoying. When I have enough of wiggling and I want to store this thing in my bag? It took more space than any true wireless with their case. 4. Cable is still a weak point, the connection between the cable and earpiece is the most common break point. Some plastic cable sleeve could peel too after a while. You need to take care when storing this neckband earphones, making sure the cable doesn't get bend too much, and so on. On true wireless, just put in the case and forget.

response to: 1. While true, it's never been noticable to me (and this is coming from someone who is crazy picky about sound quality (have returned a lot of highly praised quality sounding buds for imperfect sound) 2. out of probably 20 different wired bt earbuds, my head movement has never felt limited with the exception of 1 pair. 3. while definitely a valid point, this can simply be made up for by using a little clip similar to the ones that standard wired earbuds and almost all wired bt earbuds have. 4. Even with moderate abuse, with the exception of beats (aka apple) 100% wired earbuds, I've never had a wire break. since I was a kid 25 yrs ago using $5 - $10 headphones when there was no such thing as earbuds. 4 B. With my $40 Skullcandy Titan wired (3.5mm jack) w/ braided wire took an UNREALISTICALLY UNBELIEVABLE amount of abuse while running a lawn care business and they never quit working.

And the touch features are annoying because if they started to slip out and I adjusted them, often my music stopped.

i think the best option would be , get a neckband for endurance runs, where you need 20 hours of battery. Get affordable tws for outdoor scenarios when you cant have a cable around your neck and when wires would tangle with something

Are the neck bands mic good? As in background noise for the other person on other side do they have noise cancelation in the mic itself?

I have a neckband that i don’t know what is wrong with batterie cause every time that i charge my neckband it doesn’t charge the only way that i can use my neckband is when i plug the cable to charge it, but when i unplug the neck band it doesn’t turn on. Can someone tell me how to resolve this?

Hi! What are the neckband that you are wearing in this vid?

Hi. I'm from Brazil. I had never thought that way about neckband headphones. Do you know any good and cheap neckband headphones?

When im on the subway I like how discreet my wf-1000 xm3's are. I enjoy the noise cancellation when on the many buses and trains. My favorite part and why I don't do neckbands is because of the hair products and etc that I use, (plus I have African American hair), constantly get all over normal headphones especially over ears and neck bands. Also I can wear my beanies and not deal with wires getting caught and tangled on my clothes or surrounding objects. My big reason was because I used to use my kz as10s for my commuting needs and besides no noise cancellation I would constantly rip them out of my ears getting caught on objects and didn't want to risk breaking them or damaging the connectors. (I know it's kind of ridiculous going from 60$ iems to 230$ earbuds to not risk breaking the cheaper one but this came with a lot of good features I use 5 days a week 4-5 hours a day.) My biggest annoyance is the random disconnects and them having a hard time connecting to my phone when wearing heavy clothing.

True words

Interesting viewpoint. You make a good case for the neckband. I’ve always thought the most important thing with audio equipment is how it sounds. I don’t understand the purchase of AirPods for convenience when most other decent Bluetooth headphones/earphones have similar convenience features of allowing for quick pairing/switch between devices and sound better. I don’t see brands pushing the neck band option though so I suspect that people just don’t know about quality neckband options.

I'm thinking of getting the 1more stylish tws but i'm not sure whether it is worth it to lose the wire in the expense of the sound quality. If 1more stylish to compare with the triple driver (wired) / neckband, in terms of sound quality, is there a very much difference?

Ive been the biggest proponent for neckbands and went through atleast 10 of them and forced them upon at least a few mates. After finally trying a $20 tws, I'm pretty happy with the convenience and low profile that they offer. But after watching you remind me how much i loved the neckbands I'm curious about the 1mores.

I agree completely!! I loved my Galaxy Buds for about a month but ended up going back to my LG Tones Platinum. They sound better, better battery, better calls, and more convenient. I missed having volume controls!!

Could you please tell me why my neck bands not turning on or charging?

I've watched so many reviews and comparisons and have been strongly debating getting the new galaxy buds plus, but you've just changed my mind with some basic logic that anyone should understand. Seems like the inconvenience of true wireless is just as much so as fully wired. Now the question is, what neckband is best?

I recently switched to true wireless from neckbands because every neckband I've tried just won't stay around my neck--they either slide off my neck and onto my back or they slide to one side, and forget about working out in them. But I really miss some of the conveniences of neckbands, particularly being able to just pop them out of my ears and drop them instead of having to take out the charging case.

So which neckbands would you recommend for under 100€? (Except LG's, once again they're not available in my country...)

I personally never owned the neckbands wired or wireless. However, I can instantly pick an ordinary pair of wired earphones if I had to choose between it and True Wireless Earbuds. Primarily for two reasons: The battery life and the fit (constantly falling out of my ears and I did change the tips multiple times). Imagine if I was walking outside and one of them fell and disappeared or got broken on me and they are a bit costly to replace. I'd love to try the neckband someday, I kind of see it looking cool too as some kind of accessory and very unique. You don't see people with those.

Although I agree (using jaybird Tarah Pros here) and you mentionned all the + sides pretty well, I can't say that "it's not even close". Cables have that tendency to break overtime and that's still an issue honestly. If these jaybirds had a way to replace the cable (and the battery at the same time since it's in the small remote), for like 50$ they would be pretty much perfect. Drivers rarely brake it's always either the battery/wire that dies first. True wireless are also practical for people who use their earphones in very specific ways to complement a headset like 1000X M3 or something. Like using them JUST for the gym. You don't need a very long battery life, a workout rarely lasts more than two hours. and you can just leave the earphones in the gym bag. You always know where they are and the case makes them even easier to carry around in that case. Having both options is good, but I guess both have their advantages, and there are some cheaper alternatives for true wireless from Creative and the Anker that make for pretty compelling products.

Same... The feel of wires on neck is annoying

i'd say try running with a neck band... different people hv different needs okay?

Agreed with this so much, reason why I just can't transition to true wireless -- as you said, you need to adjust your life to the gadgets. Just like smartwatches feel like a chore; I stick with Hybrid watch as a nice middleground.

Thank you. You've told me what I already knew, but needed to hear. Thank you, I am not buying true wireless, just replacing my neckband with another one

If you like the convenience of a neckband, TWS won't feel like an upgrade.

I work stooped over buckets. They're buckets of water on a construction job, they're buckets of chemicals at my maintenance job, they're buckets of food (known as pots and pans) at home in my kitchen. I DO NOT want to go fishing in a bucket, drain, or pot for an earbud that fell out of my ear. I think I will stick with neckband headphones for work. 🤔 True wireless headphones are better for styles that would clash with a neckband. They are also better for an office or hangout spot. Neckbands are more practical overall though.

We really need a few more LG style retractable cable designs...

Man, you're wise. Great point of views. Love your videos. You see things in your way, and it makes total sense. To me. I aldo prefer (by much) necklaces then earpods and friends. (But I'm liking more actually the AKG wires that came with Note9)

3:37 The reason I only order using a mobile app. Thanks Karen 😊

Great video. Would like to know specific models

Hey Juan , my old true wireless died so I'm looking for new options, I've never considered neck bands because they seem extremely uncomfortable, mainly because I use my headphones to work out, and you can't really put a barbell on your back while using those , some thing while doing cardio or anything involving lots of movement because they'll be bouncing around a lot. Now, my question, I'm open to experiment so maybe there's a neckband out there that may work for me and if someone could give me some suggestions is probably you :)

Neckbands are not good for workout cause the wire and the band that surround your neck will just move around a lot. Now, I love the neckbands but I switched to truly wireless earbuds just for convenience and to be wireless. I'm really picky about the the wireless earbuds but 1MORE Triple Driver BT is a good option for neckbands. Neckbands are only good for casual, daily listening to music or other stuff.

Wingtips guys, use wingtips they will krep your earphones in your ear all day, if you want to keep it in your ear all day

While true, my fat neck doesn't like them.

@@calebwoods9358 A big neck isn't always fat. Some people (generally men more than women) have very thick necks.

I think one of my favorite things is that Apple also sells a wire to specially connect airpods together...

Probably a 200$ Wire

I agree with you but prefer the ones with just wires like my Anker soundcore, they are no the best but don't fall off my ears when I'm doing an intense workout. Got the lg tone before but after a while they fall off my ears and my neck when I'm doing bench press

Nicely done. I agree. Thank you for the reference to 1more audio quality. I have been searching for better audio quality and neckband earbuds.

I still prefer wired earpiece with high impedance... for my LG of course

After having my earbub pop out while riding my bike 2 times, on my jaybird vista's and on a different bud before that, I went back to a old neckband headphones and I haven't even had a issue with them popping out. I have 1500 plus on my electric bike and 500 miles on my motorcycle, riding with earbuds and I am going back to the neckband ones. Mine were some old LG TONE ones, but I really am enjoying my new Anker Soundcore U2. I haven't had them long enough to recommend them but they seem to be waterproof cause I have been through some rainstorms and they are fine. I would like to get some premium ones eventually though.

I have both, but i rarely using my neckband since i got my tws, they can be annoying when youre lying on your back, and ever since i got my tws ive starting to notice the sound when cable hit something which doesnt happen with tws. Best thing about neckband for me is when im riding my motorcycle, the ear pieces are much smaller so they fit perfectly in the helmet and you dont have to worry about them falling from your ears.

Tws earbuds are better for me because I have one of them in my ear without my boss noticing. But he would definitely notice a neckband around me.

Yea, stick 🏒 it to the man !👞

This video sums up my entire pent up frustrations about why normal Bluetooth earphones are SO MUCH more CONVENIENT than truly wireless. Though I have to say the hard neckband designs don't look as nice as the normal wire-around-the-neck type akin to the jaybirds. I recently tried out some Galaxy buds for a week after my Anker soundbuds slim earphones died on me, and man I missed being able to just remove the buds from my ears and having them just dangle around my neck where I know where they are; compared to using fine motor controls on my fingertips to place those infernal individual earphone pieces in the charging case (of which I had to remove from my pocket first). Returned the Galaxy buds and planning to get some Aukey epb60 or something because having magnets in them is a pretty important feature on terms of convenience imo, especially when it can auto-pause when it detects when the magnets are engaged.
