N18 Neckband Bluetooth Earbuds, Wireless Bluetooth 5.2 Headphones with Microphone, Ultra-Lightweight Comfort, IPX7 Waterproof, Deep Bass Strong Beat, 20H Playtime, Magnetic Earphones (Black)

For the last few years, I've been using a model of headphones called "N10." I have no idea if they were from the same company, but since mine were discontinued, "N18" seemed like the closest match.I really LOVED the N10s. I probably bought 10 of them, but not because they broke. I lost a few pairs, and I was constantly losing the little rubber ear pieces, so I'd order another pair of headphones just so I could poach the little bag of rubber ear parts.My favorite things about the N10s were that they were light, comfortable, and I could take them out of my ear and they would hang around my neck. I almost always have headphones on when I'm not working, and i hated earbuds because I'd have to keep putting them in and pulling them out of my pocket. The biggest thing I loved though, was that I could connect to 2 different devices and swap seamlessly between them. If I'm watching a video on my tablet and my phone rings, it pauses the video and switches the headphones to my phone automatically. I don't know why that is such a hard feature to find, especially these days, but I've had difficulty finding replacement headphones with this feature since the N10s were discontinued.So, long story (not so) short, I was on the hunt for similar replacement headphones because mine were discontinued, and "N18" looked like the closest option.For the record, I didn't want new headphones. I wanted MY headphones. I resented all other headphones, but begrudgingly ordered these because they seemed the closest, and another reviewer mentioned they can connect to multiple devices, which is a feature stickler for me.The headphones arrived quickly. I gazed longingly at my old headphones that were now falling out of my ears because all the rubber pieces disappeared into the ether. I said I was sorry, that I didn't want to move on, but they were no longer the headphones they were when we first met.I didn't really want to like my new headphones. It felt like I was betraying the headphones I had loved for so many years. I got over it pretty quick though!THESE ARE THE BEST HEADPHONES! I'm not an audiophile, but for my purposes these are perfect. I love them so much I bought a backup pair so I never have to be without when they're charging for a couple hours.PROS:- Connect to multiple devices and switch seamlessly. If you're watching a video on your your tablet and the phone rings, the headphones pause the video, switch to the phone when it rings, and switches back automatically after you hang up or decline the call- LONG BATTERY LIFE! I get about 2 straight days of heavy use before I have to recharge- Quick charge in about an hour- WATERPROOF! This is now a feature I can't live without. With my previous headphones, I'd have to turn them off and grab a shower speaker if I wanted to keep listening to videos/music while showering- Strong magnets keep the earbuds together like a necklace when not in your ears. I didn't realize how valuable this was until I went a few weeks without losing any rubber pieces. The magnets on my old version were weak, so the rubber was constantly getting catching on things and getting pulled off and lost. I still have all the original parts! Trust me, that's incredible.- Comfortable! I just leave them in and fall asleep. I can't even feel them, and they are still stuck in my ears in the morning. This is important to me. Before, I was switching to a headband headphones at night for comfort. The problem with the headband is that it tends to get knocked off my head at some point during sleep. I'm a heavy sleeper, and need to set alarms on my phone AND tablet. The alarm from my tablet only comes through the headphones, so if they're knocked off my head I won't hear it at all. I haven't missed a single alarm sleeping in these.- Great sound quality for video, music, and phone callsCONS:- I'm still trying to find oneThese are affordable, versatile, comfortable, and have a long battery life. For the price point, you really can't go wrong!

I've had so many different Bluetooth headsets ranging from 15.00-150.00. These are the best so far for my purpose of use. I'm a field technician that is always on the phone and many times in noisy industrial environments. Usually I can hear them, but they can't hear me or the opposite. I can't go into a quiet area when needing to be in front of the equipment I'm servicing while on the phone with the manufacturer.These work great for that. The only thing I don't like is the length of the cables coming from it, which have gotten caught on things, so I started to tuck in my shirt which resulted in the rubber tip coming off. Easy fix with an aftermarket memory foam tips which really block out noise and increase the bass even more without being uncomfortable.Twice I've had someone call me while I was on my zero turn mower, cutting grass on the weekend, while listening to music. Both times they said that they can't hear the loud mower and can hear me fine, just sounds like I'm a little muffled or at the end of a hallway. The fact they can hear me at all was impressive and I could just continue mowing the lawn while talking to them. That's just insane to me. Think I'll order a spare just incase I rip off the cable, which I have used small rubber bands to strap them up higher on the boom of it to prevent them from hanging down so far. They now come together right at my collar which is perfect.

The sound and connectivity of the headphones is great deep bass and loud music. But the earbuds do slip out sometimes if you move your head a lot and the neck band starts to slip back off my neck so they tug on my ears.

I bought these instead of the expensive over the ear headphones because I wanted something that didn't interfer with my glasses. These have good sound, although not as good as the expensive Bose or Sony but they were good enough. I use these for flying and although they are 100% noise cancelling they did a good enough job. I was able to hear my movie. It has good base in music. They were easy to pair with my bluetooth devices.
