Mpow Jaws Gen. 4

A single look at their Amazon reviews should be enough to tell you that the Mpow Jaws Gen. 4 are excellent around-the-neck Bluetooth headphones. It’s almost unbelievable that they cost less than $30 because just the carrying bag they come in must be worth at least $5.

When paired with your phone over Bluetooth, the headphones vibrate when you receive a phone call, and the buttons on them allow you to accept it without taking your phone out of your pocket. You can expect up to 13 hours of music listening and talking on a charge thanks to the latest Bluetooth 4.1 technology with CVC6.0 noise reduction.

The sound quality of the Mpow Jaws Gen. 4 is great, especially for their price. They do an amazing job of bringing all parts of the frequency spectrum to life, and they do so regardless of whether you’re listening to music, watching movies, or taking calls.

 

Samsung Level U Pro

These around-the-neck Bluetooth headphones from Samsung sport a stylish design and provide a comfortable way how you can listen to music or take calls without taking your phone from your pocket.

Each headphone has a built-in magnet, and you can accept a call or resume music playback by separating the magnets and reject/end a call or pause music by connecting the magnets. It sounds so simple, but once you get use to this feature, you won’t be able to live without it.

The headphones rely on Samsung’s Ultra High-Quality Audio (UHQA) technology to deliver a true 24bit digital audio experience with up to 2x wider frequency range than standard CD-quality wireless sound. If you don’t like their sound, you can customize it using the Samsung Level app, which provides sound equalizer as well as several other useful features.

The LG HBS-750 last around 14 hours on a charge. They block a fairly decent amount of noise, and their sound quality is slightly better than what we would expect for the price.
