Customer feedback highlights comfort, light weight, sound quality and versatility, with night-time TV watching mentioned as a use. Battery life is mixed, with reports ranging from about 2 hours to 6–8 hours, and call quality and Bluetooth connectivity also draw mixed reactions. These comments matter for a neck speaker marketed for extended playback and hands-free use, so buyers who depend on long sessions or calls should allow for variability. Aggregate ratings lean positive overall, but they do not resolve those specific concerns.
