Since the neckband category is ever-increasing in popularity with everyone from Sennheiser to Sony jumping in, I am creating a new blog category to track them here. So instead of having them under the In-Ears category, now they will go in their own Neckband Earphones 🙂
Most of this kind are wireless (a place to put the battery/hardware for bluetooth/ANC), but the category will include wired and anything else that has some kind of a neckband. I won’t go far back-edit all the older posts, so this category will grow over time. Also by calling them “earphones” I am side-stepping further classification complications such as in-ears, earbuds, bone construction, etc 🙂
