5 Best Bluetooth Neckband Headphones In 2019

If you’re a runner, you know how annoying wired headphones can get, always getting tangled up in your arms, sometimes even accidentally yanked out of the headphone jack in your smartphone or media device. Their only real advantage is that they don’t need to be charged up every time you use them, which might not be enough for keeping them around. That said, if you run, jog, or hit the gym quite a bit, you might want to consider picking up a pair of neckband headphones — they sit comfortably around the neck, all while providing you a mostly wireless (there are some wired options out there) and quality sound experience.mobile in ear headphones

So, what Bluetooth neckband headphones do you pick up? Follow along below and we’ll show you some of the best on the market. Here are our top picks.

First up, we have the Bluetooth Neckband Headphones by Osten Design. This pair of headphones runs on Bluetooth 4.1, so you get some great battery efficiency. Being a pair of neckband headphones, they comfortably wrap around your neck, with the earbuds going up to your ear — with these, you won’t be tangling up any cords in your arms as you go for a jog or run. These headphones can actually last a substantial amount of time on battery, up to a whole 14 hours of playback time. They have noise cancelling technology built-in, so you’ll be able to hear all the details of a an audio track without interruption.

LEOPHILE Eel
Next up, we have the LEOPHILE Eels. If you’re into water sports at all, these are the headphones to pick up. With built-in waterproofing technology, the LEOPHILE Eels won’t be harmed if they come in contact with water. We certainly wouldn’t go swimming in the ocean with them, but they’ll stay in working condition with a moderate amount of liquid. They’ve got a great rating on Amazon, and can last up to 10 hours of continuous music playback. These headphones are super flexible as well, allowing you to easily shove them in your pocket for when you need to get them out of the way.
Riodass Wireless Headphones
Riodass makes a great pair of wireless headphones as well. They only have a single earbud, but are super slim and flexible. Riodass’ earphones run on Bluetooth 4.1, so you get all of the benefits of Bluetooth LE, or Low Energy, with these as well. These are actually really nice for listening to music while at the gym or on a walk because they last up to 15 hours of constant playback time — you should be able to get at least two jogging or gym sessions out of these. They have an IPX5 waterproof rating, so they’re resistant against sweat and small spills; however, we wouldn’t go swimming with these.
LBell Bluetooth Headset
The LBell Bluetooth Headset is built all around portability. This headset has a folding/retractable design, allowing you to fold them up and put them in your back pocket when you’re done using them. They actually have some of the most impressive battery life on this list, taking full advantage of Bluetooth Low Energy, and lasting up to thirty hours of music playback time. You could go a full week without having to charge these bad boys up. When you do have to charge them, just 3.5 hours on the charger will put you right back up to full. LBell stands behind their product, giving you a 12-month replace-or-refund warranty against any quality defects.
