there are a lot of neck band style headphones out there right now but this the motaz or so metallo wireless is one you should definitely check out if your looking for top-notch sound quality and a secure comfortable fit that works well for ever to use as well as sporting activities not cheap at $170 but it's superior to the beats X and most in your wireless headphones I've tested like with the wired versions of this headphone it's easy to get a secure fit using one of the four included ear tips and remote as well designed patent-pending sport fins keep that tip snugly in place sealing out a lot of ambient noise you don't have to use the sports fins but I kept them on at all times whether I was working out or just walking around and yes this headphone is sweat resistant and you can run with it for long distances without a problem the only downside is that it's got a noise isolating design so you'll have some trouble hearing traffic around you which some runners and bikers consider a safety issue battery life is decent at 10 hours and the headphone works well as a headset for making cell phone calls the battery and most of the electronics are stored in a module that's designed to sit on the back of your neck occasionally that module slid down between my shoulder blades but overall the headphone is pretty well weighted and you'll barely notice you're wearing it when the earbuds aren't in your ears my only design gripe and it's somewhat serious is that the headphone cables were a little long for me I felt that could be a couple inches shorter you're a bigger person with a bigger head that extra cord length shouldn't be an issue but for medium-sized and smaller folk you may find the cord dangling near your face at times and it may bother you a little it wasn't a deal breaker for me but it's not ideal that cord gripe aside the headphone as I said sounds great it's very clean sounding with tight punchy bass and nice detail in that sense it doesn't have the typical v-moda sound profile which tends to accentuate the bass and can lack some clarity this headphone is more articulate and well balanced as an added bonus you can customize the look of the headphones with optional 3d printed caps caps are little expensive and I personally wouldn't bother customizing my headphones some people might have some fun with it I'm David karna for cnet.com that's the v-moda or so metallo Wireless thanks for watching
