they're headphones there a neck bad no
0:01
their earbuds let's have a closer look

Dave Taylor here and I'm looking at
0:12
these these are the sound Pete's force
0:16
Bluetooth neck band headphones headband
0:19
neck phones earbuds a little hard to
0:22
figure out what they are but here's the
0:23
basic deal is that there is a portion of
0:26
these that go around your neck and then
0:28
you have the earbuds that are wired not
0:31
Wireless and they go in your ears and
0:33
you are good to go now
0:36
the unit itself obviously is Wireless so
0:39
this is actually a Bluetooth device and
0:42
here's what's really cool it's really
0:44
nice there's a lot they did right in
0:45
this surprisingly affordable unit so 16
0:49
hours of playtime because the battery is
0:51
in the neck part so they have lots of
0:54
space to put in a battery has a built-in
0:56
microphone and I will tell you I made
0:58
some phone calls with this and the
1:00
feedback I got was that this was one of
1:02
the best sounding microphones I've used
1:04
for calls in a while so that means this
1:06
is as good according to the my listeners
1:09
this is as good as the Apple earpods
1:11
which are my reference level for making
1:14
phone calls so really nice obviously
1:17
super comfortable it works with
1:19
Bluetooth 4.1 so it's not the latest 5.0
1:22
but they worked pretty well I used them
1:24
and then walked away from my phone and I
1:26
had a good 5 10 15 feet without any
1:29
issues includes CVC 6 dot Ono's
1:32
canceling although I can't really tell
1:34
that there's much noise cancelling going
1:36
on if you put in the right ear buds or
1:39
your tips then you're gonna get a pretty
1:41
good seal anyway so they're gonna sound
1:43
good
1:44
it also supports aptX and it's IP x5
1:48
waterproof so hold on that doesn't mean
1:51
you can wear them swimming but it does
1:53
mean if someone attacks you with a water
1:55
pistol or a super soaker you're fine
1:57
literally IP X 5 means it can survive
2:00
being splashed by water so they actually
2:02
call that the Super Soaker test how cool
2:05
is that
2:06
now in addition to ok and by the way
2:10
notice that the earpieces are Meg
2:12
netic when you do it right so that's
2:16
nice so the whole thing tends to sit on
2:18
your neck
2:19
it's very nice very easy to work with it
2:22
just tends to sit like this and you just
2:24
put these in when you're ready and you
2:26
know when your don't want to be
2:28
listening or anything you could just
2:29
take them out and just let it sit around
2:30
your neck it has hundreds of hours of
2:32
standby time if you're not actually
2:34
listening to anything so that's really
2:36
nice
2:36
and the ends the ear pieces I have them
2:41
with just the ear tips but it actually
2:44
comes through this huge variety of ten
2:47
different ear tips just really just a
2:50
whole bag of them out so there's ten
2:53
different ear tips and there are also
2:56
six ear hooks so that your hook actually
2:59
goes between the ear tip and the bass
3:02
and for people that like these you can
3:05
actually then have it sort of screw into
3:08
your ear so it's a little more firm and
3:10
it's been you know holds better so if
3:12
you're going for a run or something
3:13
they're less likely to fall out also
3:16
comes with possibly the waltz we're in a
3:18
world smallest carabiner if you need
3:20
this to be able to hook it onto
3:22
something you can but honestly it's
3:25
pretty easy to work with these anyway so
3:27
I don't know that that's particularly
3:28
critical but I really like having all
3:30
the different ear tips because as I
3:32
recommend in every one of these reviews
3:34
try different sizes to get the style and
3:38
the size that works best for you it
3:40
makes a world of difference in the sound
3:42
and speaking of the sound they sound
3:45
really good now again I was a little
3:48
disappointed with the noise cancelling
3:49
really just don't even think that as a
3:51
factor it's not like it's active noise
3:53
cancellation or anything but put the
3:56
right ear tips in and they sound really
3:58
good even in a fairly noisy environment
4:00
so I was using these in a fairly busy
4:03
Starbucks and I was listening to some
4:05
music and you know when the music got
4:07
super soft I could hear all the ambient
4:10
noise around me but otherwise it was
4:12
remarkably good there's a decent
4:14
soundstage there's you know nice crisp
4:18
reproduction there's actually a decent
4:20
amount of bass to listen to some music
4:22
that had a lot of bass line and it
4:24
actually sounded good
4:25
again it also works really well for
4:28
phone calls huge win it will obviously
4:30
pair with iPhones it'll pair with
4:33
Android phones will pair with whatever
4:34
you want you could use and even use it
4:37
and pair it with your computer if you
4:38
want to do that because it's just
4:39
bluetooth easy enough now the neck part
4:42
itself is kind of interesting too this
4:44
is made out of what they call liquid
4:45
silicone it is not at this point
4:48
actually liquid so it has dried
4:51
obviously but it's a really soft feeling
4:55
and very flexible material so you really
5:00
don't have any sense that there's any
5:01
weight the whole thing's super light you
5:03
know there's no way there's no feel of
5:05
having a product around your neck which
5:07
is super important now in addition to
5:11
all the ear tips and ear hooks and the
5:14
hanging hook mini carabiner it also
5:16
comes with this little hard case which
5:19
you know you might or might not use my
5:21
guess is the majority of users probably
5:23
won't they'll just have it thrown in
5:24
their bag or around their neck and it
5:27
also comes with the micro USB charging
5:29
cable and I have to say when I got it it
5:31
took me a while to figure out where
5:33
exactly do you plug this in and it turns
5:35
out that it's on the side of the inline
5:37
controller and the inline controller is
5:39
your classic 3 button controller where
5:42
the two outer buttons are next and
5:45
previous track or volume up and volume
5:47
down depending on how long you hold them
5:49
and in the middle the one is that what
5:50
they always call their multifunction
5:52
button so push and hold it you can turn
5:54
it on or off short push actually gets
5:57
you to the you know pause or play
5:59
there's a variety of functions depending
6:01
on what mode you're in so if you're on a
6:03
phone call you can push and hold it and
6:04
it'll actually drop the call sorry call
6:06
or something went wrong so that all
6:09
works fine and my experience is I want
6:12
to have that under my right ear but you
6:14
might if you're left-handed it might be
6:15
easier for you to have it under your
6:17
left ear I'm not sure that it matters
6:18
and I'm not sure that there's actually
6:21
an orientation for this either so I
6:23
think you could wear it either way and
6:24
it'll work just fine which is nice so
6:27
only thing left to talk about is the
6:29
price and before we get to the price let
6:32
me ask if you can click on that
6:33
subscribe button I really appreciate it
6:35
and what I mean by subscribe button
6:37
way is there should be a little floating
6:39
red subscribe button on the lower right
6:43
of this video if there isn't then go
6:45
back onto YouTube and subscribe you are
6:48
a winner thank you for subscribing now
6:51
let's just talk about the price because
6:52
that's all that's left because these
6:54
actually are pretty nicely priced so
6:55
these are the sound Pete's force
6:58
Bluetooth neck band headphones it's a
7:01
mouthful and they will cost you a very
7:04
modest $32.99 at amazon.com I would say
7:09
that's a pretty darn good price and
7:10
these are a really nice unit they have
7:12
you know this really good sound they
7:15
work well for phone calls which is rare
7:17
with a lot of these budget units and
7:18
with 16 hours of play time that is
7:21
plenty for a full day easy to charge
7:23
comfortable to wear
7:25
you're not going to lose them because
7:26
they're little tiny pieces that just fly
7:28
away one day when you're running or
7:30
biking or something so lots to check out
7:32
Steve Taylor speaking of checking out I
7:34
think I'm gonna go back and check out
7:37
some of my music which means I will
7:39
catch you hold on okay I will catch you
7:44
in the next video
