HTC 2023 New Neckband Headphones Bluetooth 5.3 ENC Sound Isolation, Magnetic Earphones with Microphone for Calling, Running -10mm Drivers/Game Modes/16H Playtime/IPX5 Waterproof

I bought these to replace a pair I somehow lost. quick delivery, easy pairing, sound good so far. My only gripe is the earbuds. They arrived with medium size ones installed. I like the smaller set. Its damn near impossible to replace the earbuds. Most headsets use a round speaker thats easy to replace. These do not; it is a weird shape. Because my left arm is not usable, replacing them doesnt appear to be an option. This was my only real gripe. However, I bought these on 5/25/23. I am returning them two weeks later because they would not power on. I tried for three days to get these to power on, not happening. I even left them on the charger overnight. Nothing happened.

I got these because they reminded me of the old LG Tones from the 2010s, and my partner loved them. He likes how if he is hiking or running he doesnt have to worry about an earbud falling our of his ear and onto the ground. The only issue is that when hes not wearing them, and the earbuds come apart. They turn on and the battery drains completely, and play music if close to the paired phone, and drain the phones battery too. So you must be careful to store them in a way the earbuds dont separate.

Ive been using a set of retractable LG headphones similar to these for years and thought this would be a good replacement because I have no idea how those LG have lasted this long. I also recognize HTC as a quality smart phone company from back in the day, so these struck me as interesting. Im glad I got them. Overall, the quality of the wires, the magnets (that pause the music when stuck together) and the neck back is so good. The neck back is flexible, and Ive actually fell asleep wearing them. The sound is also really good for such small earbuds, nice lows and great audio quality all around for me. Im sure audiophiles would write these off but trying many other name brands around this price range Im mostly impressed with these.

I wanted these because I like the form factor more than wireless buds. But theyre mediocre sounding and have a high-pitched noise on the left side. Have to return.

true wireless earbuds are great, but sometimes you need it to be a little more apparent that youre listening to music so people will just leave you alone. Neckband headsets add back some of that, while keeping the convenience of Bluetooth, and pack extra battery life on top of that. The sound quality isnt amazing, but not bad for the price

I have never EVER been able to use earbuds, for some reason or another. Wireless ones, one always falls out and gets lost forever. Wired ones are just never comfortable or the wire gets in the way of me doing something else. These are the perfect compromise to that. And theyre comfortable. The sound on them isnt BOSE quality or AirPod quality, but its WAY better than a cheap pair of earbuds. Its probably Anker quality. The price point might be a little high for what they are, but I dont know, Im happy with them because they are perfect for the needs I have of them. I would definitely purchase these again. I do like that they have their own controls on the neck piece, but I dont use them enough to really memorize those yet.

These have nice bass definition. A little thin on the sparkle on the high end, but still better than I thought they would be. Pretty good at being recognized by my phone and connecting without much interaction. They fit comfortably in my ears with the stock ear buds, but the company provides a larger and smaller size in the box that can easily be swapped out. These tend to stay put and dont fall out easily like my apple buds or other wireless earbuds. They turn off by connecting the magnetic ends of the buds together, so my concern is that if they accidentally came apart, the battery would wear down. Fortunately they will auto shutoff if they dont see a device to connect to within 5 minutes. So theres no risk of them running down the battery as long as you store them away from where you normally keep your phone (or you remember to keep the two earbuds magnetically connected when not in use). They charge quickly. My only gripes: The LED to indicate modes is very tiny and not easily visible; there is a 4th button to activate gaming mode. Not necessary IMO and just causes confusion if you accidentally press that button. The charging port cover seems to protect the micro USB port well, but the port is recessed so some cables will not fit if they have a thick end. Also the ends of the neckband are a somewhat tacky, fake gold color. I would have preferred they use the same metallic green as the buds. The fake gold makes the whole product look a little cheaper IMO.

I like these headphones but I am experiencing the same high pitched/static noise. Noise existed out of the box. Going to have to return.

El color verde es una hermosura. Son bastante comodos y no fastidian en las orejas aun si los llevas puesto por varias horas. Buen sonido y un nivel muy decente de bajos. Pase de unos skyllcandy a estos HTC y estos ultimos son realmente superiores.

I dont Dislike these; but Im surprised at how barebones they are especially being manufactured in 2022. First off, as an HTC fan (I owned a lot of their smart phones and I was a proud owner of the HTC Vive VR headset) I was happy to see a product by them on the market. I hadnt seen too much from them recently so I was eager to try this out. I do like the build quality and the presentation. Its simple and elegant so I appreciated the unboxing experience. Looks very clean. But I do have to say that I was surprised to see some of the issues here. - First off the sound was very hollow right out of the gate. I connected this to my android phone and the music initially sounded like it was coming out of the phone call. I later realized that the issue was due to the fact that Id hit the voice assistant button. when you hit that you get your voice assistant but that also changes the audio to phone audio instead of the Stereo audio youre use to. If you dont stop and start the music, it stays that way. (I suspect this is a bug). - Also Im surprised that this didnt come with any kind of app as a device released in 2022. Not necessarily a huge issue, just a bit surprising. All in all this is a nice headset if not a bit barebones. As long as youre aware of that I think these are pretty decent.
