Since the pandemic, Bluetooth earphones have grown extremely popular. Bluetooth earphones connect users wirelessly to the internet and other recreational activities such as listening to music, watching movies or TV shows, and more. Furthermore, as more businesses are adopting a work-from-home or hybrid approach, the popularity of wireless earphones is increasing day by day.
The excellent neckbands in India in 2022 would have a perfect balance of features and performance. With that in mind, let’s look at some of the top neckbands of this year that are widely available in India.
1. Oppo Enco M31
Under Rs 2,000, the Oppo Enco M31 is one of the best-sounding neckband-style wireless headphones. The Oppo Enco M31 has a neutral sound character thanks to the LDAC codec and Hi-Res audio support. Turn on the Bass ModeFeel option if you want more power in your low-end. The earbuds have a 12-hour battery life, so you may use them for a day or two without charging them. Because the earbuds have IPX5, they will not be damaged by water splashes, allowing them to use during workouts and light rain. During calls, the earphones also give the feature of AI-powered noise cancellation. It comes in green and black colors. If you are trying your hands on the Bluetooth neckbands for the first time, this will give you a great start.
2. Sennheiser Momentum In-Ear Wireless
Sennheiser’s award-winning Momentum in-ear headphones are the basis for these neckband 2headphones, which give the same incredible sound quality. They have a lot of features, including excellent dynamics and vocal clarity. Sennheiser has trimmed the neckband in smooth nappa leather to provide a touch of luxury to your listening experience. The collar gently vibrates when you get a call, which is handy even if you’re not listening to music. It also comes with fast charging, enabling you to fully charge the neckband in just around one and a half hours.
3. Glide 120 From Infinity(JBL)
The Glide 120 in-Ear Wireless Earphones from Infinity (JBL) are the most refined overall product on this list. This neckband provides a varied sound range to fit all moods at an economical price. It has a strong bass that thumps in your ears.
4. Libratone Track+
The splashproof TRACK+ earbuds from Libratone are designed for sporty people and stay securely in place during intense exercises. They’re small but mighty: with eight hours of playback time. CityMix II, Libratone’s noise-cancelling technology, has four degrees of noise cancellation, allowing you to pick how much of the outside world you want to let in. It’s good at shutting out everything from chugging vehicles to office gossip. You can adjust it via the remote or Libratone’s app. The TRACK+ offers a deft combination of dynamics and clarity — without breaking a sweat – yet not as crisp or perceptive as the Sennheisers. These are some of the best neckband headphones for long runs if you enjoy jogging.
5. Oneplus Bullets Wireless Z2
The OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2 neckband earbuds have USB Type-C fast charging and can be charged in less than 20 minutes for nearly 20 hours.

Each earbud in the OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z has a 12.4 mm driver.
6. Realme Buds Wireless 2 Neo
The Realme Buds Wireless 2 Neo earphones are priced at about Rs. 1,499 and are a good option if you have Rs—1,500 to spend. So far, the device has performed well and has provided good audio quality. It has environmental noise cancellation, which reduces outside noise, but it doesn’t work that great. The device’s most exciting feature is its battery life, which can last approximately 17 hours on a single charge. It’s also a Realme-ready earphone. It works with all Realme smartphones and has an ultra-low latency of 88 milliseconds. If you have a Realme phone, go for it.
7. Dizo Wireless
DIZO, a Realme TechLife ecosystem partner, has some excellent value-for-money earbuds in its lineup. With Bluetooth v5.0 and a range of 33 feet, the DIZO Wireless neckband is one such option.

8. Oppo Enco M32

Longer battery life, a more significant driver, and dust and water resistance to IP55 are all included in this update. The Oppo Enco M32 follows the more popular ‘bass-first’ concept with a V-shaped sound signature that will please bass enthusiasts. In contrast, the Oppo Enco M31 delivered audio pleasure for newbie audiophiles and purists with its neutral sound profile. These earbuds boast one of the finest battery life in this price range and an IP55 designation for water and dust resistance. You’ll also benefit from a secure and comfortable fit.

11. Sony XB400
Sony’s wireless neckband earphone is just as impressive as their audio. Indeed, the device produces outstanding audio and features Sony’s signature extra-punchy bass. It is, however, too expensive to compete in the neckband wireless earphones market. The device comes with an extra bass speaker, Bluetooth version 5.0, 15 hours of battery life, a 12mm driver unit, Google Assistant compatibility, and quick charging.
12. Boat Rockerz 330 Wireless Neckband

14. Skullcandy Smokin Buds’ 2 Wireless
Do you have a limited budget? In terms of value for money, these are the best neckband headphones. Skullcandy is primarily renowned for its booming bass, but the Smokin’ Buds 2 deliver a surprisingly deep and polished sound. The minimalist design includes a three-button remote that seems more costly than it is. Remove the earphones from the flexible neckband if you’re into fitness and don’t want the collar jangling around. Advanced technologies like aptX Bluetooth and rapid charging aren’t available, as you might assume. When you consider the attractive price, it’s difficult not to be persuaded by these solid, reliable performers.
15. JBL Tune 215BT
The JBL Tune 215BT will appeal to fans of JBL’s signature sound. The earphones have a robust bass response and relatively clear mids thanks to their significant 12.5mm drivers.

You can also pick from various colorful colors, including Black, Blue, Green, White, Gold, and Purple. Voice assistant support, Type-C charging, and a three-button remote control are all included.
16. Mi Neckband Bluetooth Earphones Pro
The Mi Neckband Bluetooth Earphones Pro is a good buy if you like bass because it features a long battery life, a comfortable fit, an IPX4 rating, and voice assistant support. All of this, as well as ANC, is available for under rupees 2,000. For the price, the earphones also offer a decent microphone, so you can make calls without worrying about the sound quality. The ANC performance is also good for the price, as it reduces most low-frequency, continuous sounds like an air conditioner’s hum, an airplane’s drone, etc. The Mi Neckband Bluetooth Earphones Pro has 10mm drivers and a bass-forward sound profile that can sometimes sound a little boomy, but if you like thumping bass, you should go for them.
17. V-Moda Forza Metallo Wireless
If you value style and quality, these slim neckband headphones built of “aircraft grade” aluminium will attract you. Their tiny, minimalist appearance, as well as the clarity and upper-frequency finesse, are outstanding. They have exceptional sound isolation and a decent selection of tips (plus sport hooks’ to keep them in place). Fast charging entails a two-hour playback time after only 15 minutes of charging. However, there were a few Bluetooth dropouts, and the soundstage lacked some raw punch. There are better all-around, but V-Moda is the way to go if you want exceptional sonic detail and a stylish appearance.
18. Boat Rockerz 245v2
The 12mm audio driver is the fascinating feature of this earphone. Because the driver is more significant, you may fine-tune the audio for a fantastic sound. The sound quality is neutral by default, with enough bass. This earphone offers good quality for the price and is quite durable. The comfort level is excellent, and wearing these earphones for an extended time causes no discomfort. Its advertisement claims it to last for 8 hours, but you may expect 5-6 hours of battery life in practice, which isn’t bad.
19. Boat Rockerz 255
Boat Rockerz 255 could be your next Bluetooth neckband if you’re looking for a quality Bluetooth earphone of around 1200 from a reputable company. It is lightweight as it is made of flexible plastic. The design is comfy, and using it for long periods does not cause earaches. The wire that connects the earbuds to the neckband is flat and sturdy. It is claimed that the 110mAh battery lasts 6-7 hours, but in practice, you can use it to last 5 hours, which is decent but not outstanding.
20. Boat Rockerz 385v2
Like the 255 Pro Plus, this one has all of the top-notch features, but the design sets it apart from the 255 Pro Plus. The Boat Rockerz 385v2 is a one-of-a-kind product. It does not appear to be a typical neckband; instead, it seems bulky. The neckband is sturdy and thick. It’s not particularly heavy, but the design makes it appear so. It has a luxury feel due to the extra thickness.
