The Neckband Pro (Model Numbers B166 and B164) promises a compelling combination of features: impressive battery life, effective noise cancellation, and a powerful bass response. After several weeks of rigorous testing in various environments, I’m ready to share my comprehensive review.

The Neckband Pro boasts a sleek, light-grey design. Its lightweight (29.6g) neckband is comfortable for extended wear, even during long commutes or extended work sessions. The in-ear design provides a good seal, contributing to both noise isolation and bass enhancement. Key features include its advertised up to 50dB noise cancellation, dual connection support (though this needs further clarification in the user manual), and the impressive claimed 37-hour battery life. The 3.5mm audio jack allows for wired use as a backup.

The noise cancellation performed admirably in moderately noisy environments like busy cafes and public transport. While it didn’t completely eliminate all background noise, it significantly reduced distractions, allowing for immersive listening experiences. The bass response was certainly noticeable, delivering deep, rich tones – however, this was sometimes at the cost of clarity in the higher frequencies. The battery life exceeded my expectations; I consistently achieved over 24 hours of playback on a single charge, even with heavy usage including calls and music.

Call quality was consistently clear on both ends, even in moderately noisy environments. This is a significant plus for business use as advertised. The dual connection functionality proved a bit inconsistent; seamless switching between devices wasn’t always reliable, requiring manual reconnections. This is a noticeable area for improvement.

Pros:

• Excellent battery life (exceeding 24 hours)
• Effective noise cancellation
• Powerful bass response
• Lightweight and comfortable design
• Good call quality

Cons:

• Inconsistent dual connection functionality
• Bass can sometimes overpower higher frequencies
• User manual could benefit from more detailed instructions on dual connection setup.

The Neckband Pro (B166, B164) delivers on its promise of long battery life and effective noise cancellation. While the inconsistent dual-connection feature is a drawback, the overall listening experience is positive, especially for those who prioritize bass-heavy audio and extended playtime. If you’re looking for a comfortable and long-lasting pair of noise-cancelling headphones, the Neckband Pro is a strong contender. I would recommend it, with the caveat that the dual connection feature needs improvement.
