DEWALT Heavy Duty Black Edition 2-in-1 Neckband Bluetooth Headphones

It operates as advertised and does so rather well. I don't work in the trades or at construction sites but I wanted something reasonably durable with good clarity, range and battery life; definitely not two separate earbuds which could fall out and get lost. I got the black model and wore them almost everywhere for 2 months and I quickly forgot they were there when not in use.Pros:1. The unit stays securely around your neck whether the buds are in or out in any position except almost upside down.2. The battery life and Bluetooth range are excellent.3. The build quality is about as good as you can expect without them being overbuilt and heavy.4. The earbud and microphone quality are quite good, even good enough to take meetings using MS Teams or customer calls on my soft phone. In speaker mode the quality is as good as you can expect from small speakers, plenty good. I've never taken a call in speaker mode but if music sounds good I'm sure calls are fine.5. The included, optional multilayered bud tips block out more sound to protect your ears or help you focus but if someone tries to get your attention you'll still hear them.Neutrals:1. The EQ settings didn't seem to make a huge difference in the sound but it's there and I really don't mind.2. If I had my way there would be multiple pairing profiles but that's a bit of a big ask as most Bluetooth audio devices don't have this and would push the cost up.Cons:1. People glance at them and probably wonder what they are and why, but who cares?2. Slightly pricey but after looking at all the no-name brands selling neckbuds/neckbands these were the only ones I felt comfortable bothering to try.

They had me at DeWalt but I have had 3, maybe 4 retractable bluetooth neck band headphones. Every one after just a short time, the wires became loose from pulling them out...love the DeWalt Heavy Duty black w/some yellow. Easy to set up, a little heavier than most but sturdy, magnetic so you can connect them in back or front-no retractable flimsy stuff. Sound is excellent with different settings for movies, music, bass, etc. adjustments and they come with multiple different sizes of ear buds for maximum comfort. Oh, there are also speakers on each side so you don't have to have in ears all the time. And there is a 3 Year Guarantee. Thanks DeWalt!

They work great. Not alot of bass, but still good sound. Long battery life when on ear phone mode. Battery goes alot faster when on external speaker mode.

I've used the older model for a while and have had coworkers with the same one. The older model is lighter weight but it's also not as tough, I've seen a lot of them broken or pulled apart when the earbuds got caught on something.The wires on this one are shorter so they have less of a chance of getting tangled. They also have a magnet that clips the buds together. BUT I'm currently on a steel mill jobsite and there's metal dust everywhere, so anything magnetic will collect this black dust on it which has been annoying. Keep this in mind if you work in similar environments, if I leave them out of my ears they collect this dust on the back of them just from dangling on my shirt. This is the biggest problem I have with them but it's a personal problem not a design problem.This one is slightly heavier but feels like better construction. I don't notice having them on sometimes despite them being bigger than the old model.I really like the speaker mode, I have poor hearing and work in a loud environment so being able to put the earbuds in, but have music externally makes it easier to protect my hearing and also hear people talking better. Being able to quickly pluck them out of my ears without worrying about dropping them is really convenient compared to the wireless earbuds.I'm actually really impressed with the bluetooth connection, I've had a lot of bluetooth speakers/earbuds and typically you can't walk more than maybe 30ft or walk behind walls before they start cutting out. But I've repeatedly left my phone in one room, walked at least 100ft away behind concrete walls and didn't even notice because the music sounded the same!I don't use them for calls but the few times I have, having the external speaker is the same as putting someone on speaker phone hands free which is nice. If you need to work with someone from a distance (like pulling cable) these help a lot.The sound quality is good, not audiophile good but they get the job done and don't sound any worse than more expensive earbuds I've tried. I don't use the sound mode very often or notice much of a difference, I keep it on "super bass"The battery life is good so far, I've only had them a week so I can't be certain how long the battery stay healthy but as of right now I don't have to charge them everyday which is a win in my book. They charge fast and use USB C, the flap covering the port is very tough and won't break or flap around loose.Unless I find a big flaw in the future I think these will be my preferred earbuds in any setting and if they break, I wouldn't hesitate to buy a new pair.And best of all, actual BUTTONS! I hate having to mess with touch controls on these compact earbuds, I have status ANC earbuds (more expensive than these and very overrated) and they really don't hold a charge well, and the controls are AWFUL that I usually have to resort to pulling my phone out to skip songs. You don't have to worry about digging out your phone at work anymore with theseEDIT:I've actually gotten an ear infection since using these because of the magnets collecting metal dust. so again be cautious if you work in a similar environment because you don't want any particles that collect on your magnetic earbuds to get inside your ears. If it weren't for the magnets I'd give 5 stars, because other than getting an ear infection they're still really good earbuds

Like the versatility of these being able to go from speaker to ear buds with a press of a button. I was a little concerned that the built in speakers wouldn't be loud enough at 3.4 watts; but they are. Listened to some dance music and I didn't have to turn the volume all the way up in order for the music to be loud enough. Have another small clip on speaker that is 10 watts; but it is mono unlike these which are stereo. A small external speaker is really nice when you can listen to music when no one else is around and you don't want to clip on, hang on, or put something in your ear. One of my planned uses for these is to put the buds in my ears and listen to music while using earmuff style hearing protection. Since the controls on the part that rests around your neck I'll be able to control the music and volume, without having to access my phone, while the ear buds will be inside the earmuffs of course. Basically this will be like having earmuff hearing protection with built in Bluetooth; but having the Bluetooth separate from the earmuffs gives one more versatility and use of the headphones when not using the hearing protection. I had hearing protection with Bluetooth and I really liked them for listening to music while mowing etc; but they broke and then I was forced with the decision to spend a lot more money for hearing protection with Bluetooth or much cheaper non-Bluebooth hearing protection. Obviously I ultimately went with the cheaper hearing protection option. If you add up the price of these and the hearing protection that is more than buying hearing protection with Bluetooth in most cases; but this option is more versatile as I already said. And being able to replace either thing separately if they go bad/break I think is a better setup. Haven't tried them for phone calls yet; but I will and if that is terrible I will update my review. One other thing of note: the charging cover does NOT come off when you go to charge it you simply bend it back. There is a message on the headset that says "Replace port cover after charging" which implies you can/need to remove it. The cover is fairly stiff and resists being bent/pealed back so combine that with the message and it makes you think it needs to be removed. I know this seems minor or insignificant; but you don't want to damage the flap thinking it can be removed. Being able to remove it would making charging easier since the flap wouldn't be fighting you and trying to close the entire time. You have to hold the flap out of the way while inserting the USB C cable. Not a deal breaker but it is what it is. I have no idea why they used the world "replace" when putting that on the headphones and it made me think "seriously who wrote this". In the end I would buy them again.

We didn’t expect this to be a good one. We are just looking for something that my husband can use to replace his old one. What we love about this is the sound quality, ear comfort, battery life and the external speakers. I keep narrowing this from him so I guess I’m buying me one for myself.

I absolutely love everything this does I don't have to take it off I'm not going to lose it the speaker works for phone calls in ear or out of here I got in the shower with it didn't mean to and it's fine I washed it it's fine even if it goes bad I'm still going to buy another one I will never have another set and the sound quality is amazing it was annoying to find the right ear piece and get it on and whatnot but past that it was great

Great utilitarian headphones. The speaker is wear this item shines. Although speaker mode sounds a little hollow, the volume levels are serviceable. Phone calls are clear on both ends and although being heavy duty, they are surprisingly comfortable. One gripe would be the super loud and hard to adjust phone call ring volume. I use these in an office setting mostly so I get they are more geared to a worksite. Battery life is great. Can’t wait for the next versions once they work on the acoustic quality.

Je suis totalement satisfait par le produit depuis un mois d'utilisation.L'autonomie de la batterie est au rendez-vous avec une utilisation diverse (téléphone et musique). L'utilisation pour téléphone est clair et audible.J'espère fortement que ce casque sera aussi performant sur le temps qu'il est à court terme.La note de 5 étoiles est totalement cohérente au vu de ses fonctions.

This is my second set to buy . I love these ideal for working alone the built in speaker in a great move. The ear buds are great very comfortable no complaints here

I've been using this product as speakers at work and I'm very satisfied. Speakers are light weight and quick and easy to use. You can wear them all day and not being bothered by them.It is important to notice that the battery doesn't last 60 hours if you use speakers. It's more like 11-12 hrs. I haven't tried earphones to see does the battery really last 60 hrs.

Dopo avere provato un infinità di cuffie per uso lavorativo con esiti assai negativi per comodità e usabilità, scopro questo prodotto per caso, e viste alcune prerogative interessanti decido di acquistarle!La mia opinione dopo un po’ di giorni che le uso è assolutamente entusiasta, finalmente un prodotto a mio avviso studiato per non avere fronzoli e puntare all’obiettivo di semplificare la vita durante il lavoro che già di per sé è pieno di problemi e non serve aggiungerne degli altri!L’archetto si indossa molto bene, finalmente non d à fastidio alle orecchie colpendole durante i movimenti, cosa che in altri prodotti era fastidiosissima, il materiale lo percepisco buono al tatto quindi una plastica consistente e non troppo leggera e scivolosa.Il Vivavoce integrato nell’archetto è Fantastico sia come funzionalità che come qualità, c’è volume da trasformarti in una Cassa Acustica con le Gambe!!!Punto importante che con la pressione singola e mi soffermo su singola perché troppi prodotti hanno deluso alla grande questo aspetto, devo lavorare ma non lavorare per ottenere una funzione dalle cuffie dovendo premere non si sa quante volte prima che il vivavoce si stacchi e la chiamata venga dirottata alle cuffie silenziandosi immediatamente, qui invece hanno studiato e applicato la cosa in modo molto professionale.Sempre sul fronte pulsanti per volume, salto brano con la musica, pausa, ecc… tutti molto ben spaziati per poterli usare con i guanti e dal giusto rilievo, nè poco nè troppo da diventare motivo di incastro, ma soprattutto quello che devo dare atto al Buon Lavoro svolto è la Reattività Generale del prodotto.La Batteria per ora vedo una buona velocità a ricaricarsi e dopo 11-12 ore lavorative con molteplici chiamate e qualche ora di musica, nessun problema o necessità di ricarica immediata, cosa non da poco nemmeno questa!Per ultimo le cuffiette magnetiche che si attaccano potendole posizionare sul davanti o dietro quando non si usano sono Top perché non danno più fastidio ai movimenti e sono rapidissime da trovare e sganciare per indossarle.Ecco questi sono alcuni punti secondo me importanti per un prodotto studiato per l’attività lavorativa e centrato in pieno, salvo scoprire poi che tornati dal lavoro lo si continua a usare perché è veramente un Buon Prodotto!!Aspetti negativi per ora non ne vedo, questa recensione si prospetta per l’uso lavorativo, se poi esistono prodotti con qualità audio migliore o funzionalità aggiuntive non ho idea e non è questo il contesto per avere audio Hi-res.Non Posso che dare 5 Stelle e Consigliare questo apparato molto Ben Costruito!Grazie Infinite DEWALT e a Chi lo Distribuisce!

I cannot recommend these enough.Do they look cool?Not reallyWill people ask “what are those?” All the time?Yes.But then you can use that time to make small talk about how great they are.Are they comfortable? Hell yes and I have never gotten headphones with so many fit options. I particularly like the little thing you can add that really holds onto your inner lobe, but ever so gently.I work in loud shops most of the time and I have no problems hearing music, podcasts or phone calls. Phone calls!They are also great when I’m riding my bike as I have no worries about losing an earbud.If you’ve ever dropped an earbud into a 5 gallon of paint you understand the need of the little i”idiot-mittens” wires.The controls are easy to use. You can pause without aggressively jamming an earbud into your delicate ear canal.The only thing that I don’t love, and it’s a little thing, when you turn them on they tell you that the power is on and what your battery power is. When you turn them off they tell you the power is off. Which is cool but I would love if they could add the battery power message when you turn them off so you know if you need to charge them.You might say well if you know at the start you can guess, but No, the battery life is great!So if you pause a lot you can forget you’ve had it on all day. Again a very small complaint. Otherwise they are the most useful head phones I’ve ever owned. Do they have the sound quality of my Bose? No but I don’t need that at work.If you read to the end I respect your commitment.
