Have had it for about 3 months now and it's my go-to whenever the TV comes on. You did an excellent job of describing the difference between it and can headphones. But it's one of those things that's sort of hard to describe. Some times the sound during a movie is so intense, especially during action sequences you swear it's sound filling the room. Nope, I can place the unit on my TV viewing chair and walk a few feet away and maybe barely hear anything. It really is an interesting achievement in tech.
My only complaint is if you slouch in your chair with your head against the back of where you're sitting the rubber band that joins the two speaker units digs into your neck. It's not very comfortable. A small neck pillow just above the band. has fixed this, making it more comfortable for slouched long movie viewing. But the angle changes, moving the speakers just a little closer to your ears. Which is no big deal.
If you're looking for a device that is more comfortable to wear for long periods, and if you wear glasses and can style headphones dig into the bows of your glasses making your ears hurt....this is the wireless speaker solution that will work for you.
I'm listening 🧐
Seem nice for VR
Thanks! exactly what i wanted from the review
DESIGN, CONVENIENCE & COMFORT ABOVE EVERYTHING ELSE
Using the NS7 for 3 months now.
The primary reasons why you will buy this product:
You do not want to use over ear headphones as they become heavier and sweatier after prolonged use.
You do not want to use in ear - ear buds as they cause ear pain & irritation after prolonged use. Also ear buds fitment is a big issue with many people.
You want to use the speakers mainly indoors and do not need active noise cancellation as your usage is only or music, movies or games.
So if you are someone like me who wants a bluetooth speaker with acceptable sound quality which could be used easily, comfortably and something that rests on your shoulders around your neck and can be used for longer period of time without giving you any pain to your ears, no sweat, or irritation then this product is best for you.
I also possess the Sennheiser Momentum 2 & Jabra 85t - but I will not compare their sound quality with this one. Those products are in a different league and far more superior in bass reproduction and sound quality than the NS7.
You can use these speakers for connecting to your iPhone/iPad/Mac mini/Macbook, android tablet/phone very easily. The 360 surround sound is not available then as it’s only limited if you use this speaker with a compatible Sony Bravia TV.
When I knew it won’t offer me 360 surround spatial sound in normal Bluetooth connections and I don’t have a Bravia TV why did I spend so much money then? Well. The answer is very clear to me. I purely bought it for Sony’s design, the convenience it offers and the overall comfort of use.
It is an expensive buy and the cost does not justify the quality of sound. Many other bluetooth speakers will offer you superior bass & sound quality and are available at half the price.
NS7 is either pure indulgence or a thoughtful purchase if comfort and convenience is paramount to you. If sound quality is paramount don’t even think about the NS7 unless you have a Bravia TV to extract its full potential.
Pros:
Resembles a travel pillow
Sony’s ergonomic design & build quality
Fits securely around your neck
Acceptable audio quality
Multipoint connection - pair 2 devices at once
Decent battery life
10 minute of charge gives you upto an hour of extra play time
Its fabric finish and silicon neckband are soft & easy to clean
USB C charging port
Lightweight & comfortable to use
Good & easy hands-free calling experience with optimal microphones placement
IPX4 - Splash-proof
Wireless transmitter - Optical cable & USB cable is provided in box
Due to open ear style - you are still being aware of your surroundings.
Cons:
Very expensive
It’s bulky & could feel uncomfortable sometimes
Compatibility issues
Mediocre bass response
Sony app is required to set up
Best features only available if paired with Bravia XR TV’s
Not fully waterproof
Upward facing speakers are highly localized - if you move your head to left or right you do lose sound.
My verdict: An unconventional niche product that you can use with any Bluetooth source, but pairing it with a Sony Bravia XR-series TV only enables the unique surround-sound experience. For me a decent audio is an acceptable trade-off for comfort. A personal speaker solution you wear around your shoulders. It fulfils my requirements exactly!
Pretty interesting. Thx for sharing!
Can I set up two of these to use on 1 SONY BRAVIA TV? I have the latest cognitive bravia
Obsessed with your video production
One question. Can I use them while they are charging? I don't want to stop gaming or watching movies because of low battery.
is it possible to bluetooth this and a soundlink at the same time from the same source?
Do they work with non-Sony TVs with optical audio out? Obviously without the scanning etc… but still v good?
yes, optical is not a sony tv exclusive, its owned by toshiba.
Only with the Sony Bravia Xr series can you enjoy Dolby Atmos
I have a Samsung smart TV, will this device work with it like your Sony Bravia TV, showing that short 3D audio demo on the TV?
Can you connect multiple neckbands at a time?
So the dongle only works with a Sony TV? What if i have an older Sony TV which is no bluetooth, is that going to work at all?
I am not sure to get them or not i know the hole idea because i had the Bose soundwear what i droped in the pool and game over , so the quiestion is should i go buy bose again or they better than the bose ? I would use them mainly for listening to music I have the best sound bar at home anyways so is it a go or not ?
Dolby Atmos is only transfer by HDMI so if the small dongle have optical audio it's not really Dolby Atmos ?
its software based atmos like Dts headphones X. dolby atmos has something similar, its a low taxing atmos much like the atmos you get from netflix and disney+. not real atmos True HD.
Waiting for Bose continue the SoundWear model.
we can use this box only sony tv or especially wıth sony
I will use it for music. Is it loud?
How do these speakers do when listening to normal mp3's or watching downloaded media on non Sony TV's? What's the sound quality like at lowish volumes? Is it still worth the money or are there better (or less expensive) neck speakers out there? My use case is watching movies late at night without disturbing others, listening to music (not particularly loudly), playing the occasional PC game and taking the occasional phone call. I can't deal with headphones or earbuds so neck speakers work well for me but there doesn't appear to be much choice. Thanks for any input.
If you are still looking for some advice on this, I got a set of these like 2-3 days ago and its been pretty good. I dont use them on my TV but on my PC and my Phone, on low volume I can be in bed next to my sleeping Partner and they barely hear a thing while the upfiring speakers make it loud enough for you to easily enjoy stuff at low volume. Battery Life is pretty good, they are pretty comfortable and you quickly dont even actively notice them, what does kinda suck a bit is surround sound in Games, I play Stalker and if anyones above you it gets a bit hard ( obviously ) considering the sound comes from below your ears. Sound quality overall is pretty good and the Bass isnt really rumbly as hell on your Shoulders but very clean, not much disturbance in the sound and otherwise very very clean high's.
@@Parthemonium does the surround audio sounds impressive in games ? Except for the sound from above
@@toothsamurai Its surprisingly good for what it is, above and below is of course all kinds of wrong in Shooters especially and that alone makes the surround sound a bit more difficult do discern, if you have the chance to get these keep all the receipts and stuff to return and in that case just try it.
@@Parthemonium How's the latency and stuff while pairing it to a PC? Would it work well with an FPS game?
@@HS-ts5wf Latency is entirely fine tho I haven't tested it with an FPS, if you specifically want good surround, probably just get a Headset.
1:20 the thing has exactly the same voice as the PA at railway stations.
Damn your good, I just bought a cheap Hurricane version (great name) for just over 20 quid and I love it. Deffo sounds better with an audio equaliser app on the phone though. Never has dog walking been so nice while listening to music and looking out for traffic! This is neck, oops, next level stuff! And I do own a Bravia TV too, so I'm keen for this upgrade. Nice one.
maybe it should be called a Neckko-Blaster haha.
decent price too, expensive but not ridiculous
sadly iPhone don't support LDAC, been using it for years until I tried connecting it to android with LDAC support and I was surprised with the quality I was missing all along! I was using it wrong
Optical out on sony TV's doesn't support atmos. It Max's out on dd5.1. May be that's different for XR tv. Thanks for the video though.
movies??? - so your review is "wow", not much to go on there, no mention of spacial positioning with atmos, heights, rear etc..
Yeh I wanted to know about its sound profile, frequency response. Disappointed
@Jsteeeeeezy he literally has a business stop being poor 😢😢😢
Where are your glasses from ?
Can you use two of these connected to one TV simultaneously?
U can use a bluetooth transmitter/ splitter
@@ichnichtdu9000 Thank you 😎👍
Can they be used with Xbox Series X? do they connect directly to the console or do you need to connect them to the pad with a cable?
Use ur brain, does xbox has any settings like smartphone called "Bluetooth"......No, so how can u pair them with xbox....it can be used on pc while gaming
@@ankitanand676 use your brains you can use it for everything. Just plug you optical directly from your tv to the Sony dongel.
@@hutopdehei ok dumb and then how will u use mic on ns7 as it's connected through that adapter and not to xbox directly??....There's something called common sense which is missing in ur head compartment
I have one of these and really like it for watching TV or videos on my phone. Sony is full of marketing bs though if they claim to give you Atmos sound since they only use an optical cable to hook them up. Optical can only support up to 5.1 sound. They still sound amazing though!
Well, it's the world's first wireless Dolby Atmos, so not weird you see it as BS, if you haven't searched for some of the engineering behind it. - then it's easier to just call BS than using a bit of energy reading.
TOSLINK supports 5.1 channel, given that the Atmos mode only works with their TV it is also possible that they have a proprietary mode for it.
2:14 ps5 doesn’t support this audio device kindly check first. I have the same model
how is this without a Sony tv? i have a lg tv with dolby atmos.
Now I want this😅
Dang answered all my questions, even for gaming. No that's a sort of hands on I did not expect to answer most of my questions. Though at 400 dollars I do ask myself whether it's worth buying it strictly for media and gaming 😂.
Can you use them with smartphones?
Yes, it can connect to bluetooth capable devices. The puck is only to address the latency issue with TVs. I just use it via bluetooth w/ my tv and latency isn't bad at all.
Getting mine this saturday,I wonder if it is better than the Bose soundwear I have been using for 3 years now.....
Was it?
@@BugEnthusiast It is much better than the Bose soundwear. Better sound, comfortable when you lay the back of your head on a pillow.
Music is ok,but watching a movie with this thing is just great.
Cool I'ma grab one, my Bose just died to water damage.
What's the latency like for gaming if I use the included Puck?
its like bluetooth mouse, for single player games ok
very good latency with the puck. you dont notice any latency like you would with normal bluetooth connection, not sure how they do it since its technically a bluetooth connection but there is no noticeable latency.
Awesome videos sorry I’m so late
Video uploaded on 2 April. I thought it was an April fools joke from the thumbnail 🤡
What about asmr and sleeping with these I wonder? Looks good though. Cheers...
These seem better for your ears as opposed to having loud volume on headphones/earphones that can damage your ear drums
It still play sound and loudness just hurt. Make no differences. You are saying common sense, really
@@vipxpert Headphones and earbuds close space around your ear, and this cause sound to create more pressure on your eardrum, and inner ear, which can lead to hearing loss even if listening on low volume. This happened to me, I was using headphones for years, and I developed a hearing loss and tinnitus. And I was listening only on low volume, but for long perionds of time, like 5-6 hours a day. Now I can use only speakers, which sucks for online gaming, and this product looks like might be good for me.
@@TheKruk666 Sound is just frequency. At high loudness it just hurts. Just that simple. There's no difference between earphones, headphones
@@TheKruk666 Speaker at high volume still can hurt
Yep, and you also don't get that sort of uncomfortable headphone ear thing, where your ears feel fatigued and sore from wearing large padded headphones. If you wear glasses in particular, can-headphones rub agains the bows on your glasses and it can hurt after a while.
They're bananas! 🍌🍌
useful for on a bike
I saw a review mentioning they carry most of the weight on the back, do you find them slipping backwards sometimes or not? I plan to move around a lot with these so I was curious
@@cafeconleche444 I lean forward while biking, so gravity takes care of that for me. I dont really walk around with it
What the puck?
Great review Alex but why stop there: why didn't you talk about films as you said you would ??? Not everyone who might one for say, surround sound with a bedroom tv, wants it for games.
Neck Phones are Coming!
not going to get the 3d with out that sony tv
If you wear these the woman won't be able to contain themselves. 😂
Second
Late then. Lol
LOL, April fool just a day late..
It's moments like these... I appreciate not having to hear the British accent on the daily...🤢
"on the daily" - I imagine British people are glad they don't have to listen to you speak on the daily too. 😂
@@goodgamewellplayed1165 I'm sure they hated my bad ass American accent in 1776... But needed to hear it twice in the 20th century to save their asses.... 😂🤔
@@georgemcfly4273 Umm.... yeah... history... 🥱
@@goodgamewellplayed1165 ..... Which is wear Russia and china will take Europe....
Into the history canal, where they belong. 🤭😁
