The Swiss Army Knife Of Neckband Earphones

Sony’s latest has got to be the most feature-packed neckband earphones ever

- Chester Tan

Sony is one of the early adopters of neckband in-ear headphones. All their neckband earphone designs are unique to one another. The WI-1000X with Digital Noise Cancelling is possibly the most plush-looking neckband earphones, staying in line with the premium positioning of the 1000X series

The WI-1000X neckband is supported by a metal frame with leather plush cushion not unlike headphones. The earbud cables are adequately short, and any excess cables can be kept neatly into the neckband groove. While the neckband is not lightweight, it does not feel heavy around my neck, partly because I put them outside my shirt collar instead of inside my shirt.
