Does this work through bone conduction?

BEST ANSWER: No - just speakers.
I like it. Keeps my ears 'open' when riding my bike so I can still hear traffic sounds. That was my key reason for buying it. But also wear it sometimes when working around the house. Moves w/ me, others don't really hear it unless they are close to me, and works room to room - usually from garage workshop to whichever room I am working in. OR in the yard, but less of that now since we moved to a townhouse.
If I was to add 1 small design feature, it would be a 'security string' from open tip to open tip. I have never dropped it, but it has twisted side to side if I am active. Just a thought....

No, but having it on your shoulders definitely creates a cool effect from the sound vibrations. It's a fun speaker and the price is right.

Can people near you hear what you are playing?

BEST ANSWER: Sure but it's not as noticable as a speaker sitting next to you and the audio is much better. Headphones are more private of course but less comfortable. And you can multitask more easily.

Yes, but that will be dependant on how loudly you play music with this speaker. I find that the bigger problem is how much louder I speak when wearing it. It has the same impact on my speech volume as wearing a set of over-the-ear headphones would.

As a non-staff user, it does sit ON my shoulders and they don't sweat much. I worry less about sweat and more about being out on a bike ride and it starts raining. Also dodge sprinklers.

Will this be compatible to use on ps4?
A shopper
on Dec 14, 2019
BEST ANSWER: Thank you for your question.
PS4s would allow for you to connect for just about any pair of Bluetooth headphones, earphones, or speakers.
We have not tested these with that system but it is highly unlikely they would not work.

Amazing Way to Listen to Music
Love this speaker. Feels like the the music is in your head, but you can still hear everything going on around you as well. Very comfortable to wear. Very good sound quality. Others can hardly hear it. Great idea!

Worth Having
Pretty good audio for music. I prefer this to earbuds or headphones, because my ears aren't covered and I can hear other sounds in the room.
Suitable for phone calls, some background noise does come through to the other party, but not bad. It doesn't work well if both parties are speaking at the same time. One side is heard and the other is cut off. This is probably to prevent feedback (squealing).

Great sound, really easy to use
I really enjoy this NB-BT wearable neckband wireless speaker. It has great sound, is very comfortable, and it's very easy to set up the BlueTooth connectivity. I was surprised by the quality sound of this speaker. I really am surprised and satisfied with the quality of the speaker itself as well.

Michael in Toronto
I ordered two NB-BT Neckbands. When I received the package, one of the neckband only has left channel working. It was frustrating because one of them suppose to be the present for my daughter’s 18th birthday. Luckily we ordered two sets, so we give other set to her for gift. I called Monoprice customer Service and the person I talked to (Ezekiel) is very helpful. Monoprice promised to send another one right away. I like their customer service. According to my daughter, she likes it very much as she can listen to music and phone calls and be able to listen to her surroundings.

A new and very pleasant way to listen to music
I really like this device. It puts one in a sort of cloud of music around their head, but it doesn't keep other sounds totally out, which is exactly what I'd hoped for. You can certainly feel it on your neck but it isn't obnoxious at all.

Good idea, fair product
The product works as advertised; however a major problem I have is it doesn't show how much battery life is left and just fades out on you. I'm trying to use these while working from home and when they fade out on me I need to turn them off, plug them into the charger and wait. It would be nicer if I had an idea of charge that was left before I started my day.
