So I have two neckband speakers to compare now. This Bugani M115 and the Monster Boomerang.CLIFF NOTES- if you like to exercise with the speakers and can wait for the Bugani M115 to be on sale, then buy the M115- if you don’t ever plan to exercise with them and are considering each one at their full price, buy the Monster Boomerang———————WHAT IT DOES BETTER- lighterM115 = 187gBoomerang = 213gyou wouldn’t think that makes much of a difference but since the flexible part on the Boomerang is skinnier the speakers tend to flop around specially if you’re running making it at annoyance as it bounces on your collar bone. M115 doesn’t have this problem.- doesn’t have any clothwhen you exercise with these on, obviously sweat gets on it. since all the contact points on the M115 is made of plastic or silicone it is easy to wipe off with no traces of sweat. the Boomerang has cloth covering the speakers and it will retain sweat/salt marks after exercise.- buttons are more tactilethe Boomerang’s buttons are not as tactile and kind of harder to press- has better volume controlwhenever you adjust the volume on the Boomerang, the increments are too large and at times it’s either too loud or too quiet and can’t adjust to anything in between- can play music standalone (without phone) via SD cardhaven’t tested this yet but I’m sure it will come in handy. sometimes I want to listen to music without lugging a phone around.- doesn’t turn on at 100% volumefor whatever reason whenever you turn on the Boomerang it is on full blast which makes it a jarring experience when you turn it on in quiet room. same thing for when it automatically turns off due to inactivity, a computer voice yells out GOODBYE.———————WHAT IT DOES WORSE- does not sound as goodimo, the Boomerang sounds much better and definitely has that 3D sound to it. the M115 is not terrible, the Boomerang just sounds better.- terrible instruction manual experiencemanual is black cardboard with very light gold lettering. whoever thought this was a good idea should be fired.- button placement is not as goodalthough the buttons are more tactile than the Boomerang, I actually prefer the placement of the buttons on the Boomerang on the side where the M115 has them on the top. easier to click buttons with the thumb IMO.- does not feel as high qualitythe Boomerang speaker itself and its packaging just looks high quality- pricey relative to its sound qualityat full price, it is priced very closely to the Monster Boomerang which sounds way better. If you are buying one of them at a time when they are both full priced and you don’t ever plan on using them while exercising, the Monster Boomerang is the better buy for the sound quality.———NO OPINIONS ON YET- call quality between the two as I rarely make use of handsfree calling

The media could not be loaded. First thing I will say about these is that they are essentially speakers on your neck so people around you will hear what you are listening to. That being said, I usually like to use these at home for gaming and music. I do not have to use my speakers and I can walk away from my computer and still be able to hear the music or video playing through these. I have liked most monster products so I decided to try these out as I wanted to use my speakers less to try and save some power. First I will talk about the material. I was very in love with how it feels. It is a silicone feel at the back of the neck but it does fit for my neck comfortably. It is more front heavy as that is where the hardware mostly is. The speakers are protected pretty well to reduce interference while also being solid so you do not have to worry about it being easily punctured. Dust and hard can build up on it but it is easy to brush off. The headphone cannot really be adjusted too much even with the back piece being flexible but it fits for the most part. The controls are on the right side (if you are wearing it). In order to control the sound you need to press + or – while changing tracks you would need to press and circle button twice or three times to depending on the direction you want to change the track. Pairing is pretty simple to just press and hold the play button until it flashes and then you just find the device on you device and connect. The buttons feel solid and have a nice click to them. For the most part, the instructions are pretty clear in helping and simple to follow. It also charged by type c and there is a small flap at the underside of the headset in order to plug in the cable. It can be a bit challenging to open the plug as the material stays put pretty well. The overall sound quality is pretty nice. Be aware that since you do not have this in your ear people will be able to hear your music. On to the microphone on this headset. For the most part, it was actually really clear and I could talk on the phone while walking or answer my calls in the car without having any issues. This thing does not irritate the skin but again this is front heavy. The tips are not magnetize so they do not stick together (I thought they did but they just come together do the weight). This product overall is a good buy if you are okay with playing your music and such out loud. I think it really helps in immersion into VR or gaming. Be warned this is only water resistant and should NOT be taken into swimming and such. The battery life lasted me up to 5 hours before I need to recharge the device. It does vary based on connection and how loud you are playing the music. Only thing I will say about this is that it is front heavy so it puts a bit of pressure on the back of your neck and the metal in the front is prone to scratching. Other than that great sound, clear microphone, good immersion.

This product fit very comfortably, they feel almost weightless. I can recline not feel them on the back of my neck. I am very hard of hearing in one ear so I use these to watch the tv. I do not find my headphones comfortable. I have tried small speakers placed near my couch and worn a small speaker on a belt. This speaker has been the best set up for me.

Pros:1. Sits on the shoulder and hence doesn’t damage ears in the long run2. Waterproof. But, not meant for sports and swimming.3. Good BT rangeCons:1. It barely lasts 6-8 hrs in-office meetings. Why can’t we get 40 hr batteries to last us a week? Competitor Oraolo is doing is a better job in this department.

Very pleased except for some functional weaknesses with my Android phone. Commands are sometimes missed. The communication seems quite limited. My inexpensive JBL earbuds integrate at a much high level. I wish your product did also.

The sound quality is beyond my expectations. Very user friendly. I used it while I do my one hour daily walk and it did the job utterly. Very reasonable price of $59 with a 10% discount.

I love these , I got so many guys I work with to switch from air pods. I have 2 pair . They last about 6 hours @ full volume. Auto shut off and usb c charging port . @ 20w it will charge from dead to full in 45 minutes.

This has been a great product. My ears ring terribly all the time, so these are very handy. The charge lasts me all day, the sound is great for such a small item. No regrets.

Use them to watch TV

These headphones arrived on the exact date stated and are surprisingly great ! My wife is a nighthawk and binges her Netflix shows after I go to bed at night. Our sub woofer is directly above me and, depending on the show, it can rumble me off the bed. 🙂 We are both happy now because we blue toothed they neckband to the TV and she loves the sound. “Stranger Things” here she comes & I’m sleeping way better. There are more expensive versions which likely have deeper bass but for TV this one is more than enough in my opinion. Perhaps gamers or audiophiles might differ.

Good volume, clarity and comfortable. At low volume, they are barely audible to others which is perfect for work
