CMF Neckband Pro B164 Review: Up to 50dB Noise Cancellation & 37-Hour Playback

Introduction

The CMF Neckband Pro B164 promises a compelling combination of noise cancellation, extended battery life, and a comfortable design. Having spent several weeks testing this neckband, I’m ready to share my experiences and help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.

Features

The CMF Neckband Pro B164 boasts several key features designed for convenience and performance. The advertised up to 50dB noise cancellation is a significant draw, particularly for commuters and those working in noisy environments. The long battery life (up to 37 hours) is another major selling point, eliminating the constant worry of running out of juice. Dual connection support is a welcome addition, allowing for seamless switching between devices. The orange color is certainly eye-catching, although personal preference will play a big role here.

Performance

In terms of sound quality, the CMF Neckband Pro B164 delivers a rich, balanced audio experience. The bass is impressive, as advertised, without overpowering the mids and highs. The noise cancellation works effectively in reducing ambient sounds, although it’s not perfect – particularly high-pitched noises still cut through. I found the battery life to be very close to the advertised 37 hours, which is exceptional for a neckband-style headphone. The comfort level is also quite high, with the neckband fitting snugly without feeling constricting, even during extended use. Call quality was consistently clear on both ends, thanks to the built-in microphone. The dual connection feature worked flawlessly, making transitions between my phone and laptop effortless.

Pros & Cons

Pros: Excellent noise cancellation, Exceptional battery life, Comfortable design, Balanced sound profile, Dual connection support, Clear call quality.

Cons: Noise cancellation isn’t perfect, Slightly bulky design, Wired connection might be a drawback for some users.

Final Verdict

Overall, the CMF Neckband Pro B164 is a solid choice for anyone looking for a comfortable neckband headphone with excellent noise cancellation and impressive battery life. While the noise cancellation isn’t flawless, and some may prefer a wireless option, the strong performance and long battery life more than make up for these minor shortcomings. I highly recommend it for daily commutes, travel, and work.
