HORI 3D Surround Gaming Neckset Speakers with Noise-cancelling Microphone - Xbox Series X/S - Xbox One - PC [Officially Licensed] (Xbox Series X//)

Absolutely love this neckset, it’s the best idea someone ever had. I’ve hated headphones for years as they always seem to give me a headache no matter how light or well built they are, these are just so comfy and perfect I can’t stop using them. Ok, you’re not getting theatre quality sound, there’s either tinny or slight bass settings, but everything sounds crystal clear. I can hear every sound from every game and tell which direction all of the time. It also sounds a lot quieter to other people around you than it does to you, meaning you have it quite loud without disturbing others. The mic quality is great, absolutely zero complaints from a group of gamers that love to complain about people’s mics, and I can hear everything they say crystal clear. I love this, one of the best accessories I’ve ever bought.

If you have a child, preferably with their own room, that has just been drawn into online gaming, this is for you. With the amount of online abuse and the unknown people online, this is an easy way to do spot checks on your childs conversations as well as just dropping in a hello to the friends you do know. It also helps with keeping them accessible to the real world because they can still hear you when you are calling them because food is ready. There have been no complaints about the battery life. The build quality is of a good standard and they are comfortable to wear. Forget headsets, get neckbands.

If I could give it 0 I would. I contacted manufacturer as advised after sound stopped working after 3 months. Manufacturer provides tips and then advises for return of faulty goods I must do it via Amazon. Cannot seem to make this request via Amazon! Terrible customer service and wish I never bought it. Not worth the hassle. I am going to file a complaint and hope I can get money back as it is clearly faulty!

I wasn't sure how well this would work but I have to say it is a great speaker (with Mic). The sounds is very good, it has several sound presents, and it's very comfortable to wear. I wasn't sure if this idea of having a speaker on your shoulders would work but now I'm fully on board. It's great and I love to use it.

After using the headset for a few days, I have a very mixed feelings about it. Let start with the good:- it is rather comfortable. You can feel it the weigth of it, but it is not annoying does not move all over the place and in general it does not impact the gaming.- long cable in the set, with an angled jack on one end - so the cable won't poke you when you plug it in.- extremely easy set up, plug the cable, set the volume and you're good to go.And now let's talk about the most important part of equation - the sound quality.In short, there is a sound, but not necessarily the quality. The sound profile is farty flat, regrdless of the mode you chose. In FPS mode the neckset sounds like £10 speaker from Home Bargains wrapped in tin foil. Bass boost mode saves the day, and it is usable, but nothing to write home about - let's say it elevates the things from 'are you having a laugh' level to 'passable'.And yet, at the end of the day, I will not be returning it, because for my needs it serves the purpose - it is definitely a better solution that cheap buds or headset while not blocking the outside sound (so I can hear what's happening around me without blasting too much noise from the speakers).In short, it's alright, it is made really well, it just leaves you wanting in the most important department. I have never bought anything from Hori, but my understanding was it is a reputable brand that does things on a solid level. If this is that solid level, then that was the first and last Hori product I bought. I am quite sure there are better necksets within similar price range to be had.

Some people are criticising these for not having the top end sound quality of a decent pair of headphones, but that like criticising a motorcycle because you get wet when it rains compared to a car. They are not the same thing so … surprise surprise … they are not offering the same experience. I can’t wear headphones for more than an hour or so. It’s an ear thing. This ‘neck-tech’ let’s me play for hours and hours, and the sound is perfectly adequate, it’s spacious / clear etc. No feedback down the mic, so the noise loop control is very good. I play a lot of Fortnite, and got a tidy win this evening trying these out for the first time. If headphones mess with your ears, these are an absolute life saver.

Battery life could be better

Great device sounds good especially with war games and car games
