welcome another neck band style headphone to the world the Jabra hallo smart which retails for $80 what's special about it well since its from Jabra you'd hoped that it would work really well as a headset for making calls and it does with multiple microphones and noise reduction technology that helps tamp down ambient noise like wind it's also water-resistant and has very good battery life with up to 17 hours of talktime and 15 hours of music playback 3 sizes of ear tips are included but I was a little disappointed that I couldn't get a tight seal and secure fit with any of them I had to pull off a set of extra-large tips from another in ear headphone I had lying around and those worked well you are able to get a tight seal and the majority of people should be able to accomplish that with the included tips this is a decent sounding bluetooth headphone it lacks a little bit of clarity but I found the bass sample and it's pretty smooth sounding and its price point the halo Smart has plenty of competition and while it doesn't do much to distinguish itself from design standpoint it seems pretty steadily built performs very well as a headset and offers decent sound quality for music and get a tight seal I'm David Carney for cnet.com thanks for watching you
