Magnetic Neckband Bluetooth Earphones, 200h Standby

Magnetic earpieces that lock when you are not listening

Magnets that lock when you are done

Snap the earpieces together and they stay joined. That single habit keeps both pieces on the neckband, not in a pocket or on the bus seat. The lock is strong enough that you feel it click when you press them together.

Flat cable that won't knot

The neckband uses a flat cable instead of a round one, and flat cable lies down rather than coiling into loops. Pull it out of a bag and it comes out straight enough to wear. The in-line controls sit on the cable, so volume and call buttons are within reach without digging for them.

Balanced to sit still

The battery pod at the back of the neck works as a counterweight. The weight on each side is balanced, so the neckband does not pull forward or slide while you walk, cycle or lift. The packaging claims 200 hours standby, 10 hours of phone time and 8 hours of music.

From a knotted cord to a pair that stays put

The daily knot

You pull the earphones out of your bag and the cord comes with a knot in it, the same knot as yesterday. Those few seconds on the platform add up. A flat cable with a tangle-resistant build means the neckband comes out ready to wear.

The lost bud

Loose buds disappear into jacket pockets, gym bags and the gap between seat cushions. A neckband keeps both earpieces attached to you. When you stop listening, they pull together with a magnetic snap and stay there.

Locked, ready, gone

The earpieces lock together and the cable stays clear of your bag. Grab them, fit the tips, press play. The pair is in one piece the whole way to work, and nothing has to be searched for at the bus stop.

What the first weeks look like

1. First use
   Pair and try the fit

   Pair with your phone, then try the ear tips and neckband until the seal feels secure before your first commute or workout.

2. Week 1
   Carry it without the tangle

   Daily commutes start with a flat cable that pulls out clear of knots, so you spend less time sorting cords in your bag.

3. 30 days
   Stop reaching for lost buds

   By the end of the first month, snapping the earpieces together becomes the habit that keeps the pair in one place.

A few habits that keep it snapping shut

• Dry the earpieces first

  Wipe them dry after a sweaty workout or a rainy walk before you stow the neckband.

• Keep the magnets clean

  Grit on the earpiece faces weakens the lock. A dry cloth is enough.

• Lay the cable out, do not yank it

  Let the flat cable fall straight. Pulling hard at the joins shortens its life.

• Snap them together when stowed

  Lock the earpieces before you put the neckband in a bag so nothing dangles.
