Table of Contents
Introduction
The Haino Teko Germany HN-120 Bluetooth neckband promises an impressive 120 hours of playtime, making it an attractive option for those seeking long-lasting wireless audio. But does it deliver on this bold claim, and how does it perform in other aspects like sound quality and call clarity? I’ve been using the HN-120 for the past few weeks to put it to the test. This review will delve into the details, providing a comprehensive assessment of this budget-friendly neckband.
Features and Design
The HN-120 boasts a minimalist design, lightweight and comfortable enough for extended wear. The neckband itself is flexible and doesn’t feel bulky around the neck. The controls are intuitive, easy to reach and use. The included charging cable is standard micro-USB, which is a bit dated but functional. The inclusion of TF card support is a nice bonus for those who prefer to store music locally. The build quality feels surprisingly sturdy for its price point.

Performance and Sound Quality
The advertised 120-hour battery life is a significant selling point, and while I didn’t quite reach that exact figure, I consistently achieved over 100 hours on a single charge with moderate usage (mix of music and calls). This is still exceptionally impressive. The sound quality is surprisingly good for a budget neckband. The bass is definitely present, as advertised, but without overpowering the mid-range and highs. Vocals are clear and detailed. Call quality was also very good; I consistently received positive feedback from the other party about call clarity. While listening at higher volumes, some distortion was noticeable, but it was not excessively bothersome.
Connectivity was generally stable, with minimal dropouts throughout my testing period. The Bluetooth 5.3 chip performed admirably, maintaining a strong connection even at the edge of the advertised range.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Exceptional battery life, good sound quality for the price, comfortable design, clear microphone, TF card support.
- Cons: Slight distortion at maximum volume, micro-USB charging port (instead of USB-C).
Final Verdict
The Haino Teko Germany HN-120 Bluetooth neckband is a fantastic value proposition. Its long battery life, decent sound quality, and comfortable design make it an excellent choice for commuters, travelers, or anyone seeking a reliable pair of wireless earbuds for extended use. While minor imperfections exist, the overall performance and longevity of this device far outweigh its shortcomings. I highly recommend the HN-120 to anyone looking for a budget-friendly neckband with impressive battery life.
