A neckband is a type of wearable electronic device designed to be worn around the neck.
It typically features a flexible or semi-rigid band that rests comfortably on the shoulders and collarbone. The main body of the device, housing components like batteries, controls, and sometimes speakers or vibration motors, is integrated into this band.
Bluetooth Headphones/Earphones: This is the most common type of neckband.
Wireless Audio: Connects wirelessly to smartphones, tablets, or other Bluetooth-enabled devices for listening to music, podcasts, and making calls.
Earbuds: Feature earbuds that extend from the neckband and fit into the ears. These may be wired to the band or magnetically attach for storage.
Long Battery Life: The neckband design allows for larger batteries, often providing extended playtime and talk time compared to truly wireless earbuds.
In-line Controls: Buttons or controls are usually located on the neckband for managing music playback, calls, and volume.
Built-in Microphone: Enables hands-free calling and voice assistant access.
Comfortable and Secure Fit: The neckband design helps keep the earphones in place, especially during movement.
Water Resistance: Some models offer water and sweat resistance, making them suitable for workouts.
Noise Cancellation: Higher-end models may feature active noise cancellation (ANC) to block out external sounds.
