If your audio preferences are more towards the spoken word or just want to hear something with decent volume these are a great option.

Sony has been known to create new product categories in the consumer technology space. Some ideas work, some don’t, but it’s never wise to write them off too soon. And at some point, we have all wished for a personal audio device that could deliver sound quality similar to good earphones or headphones without having to stuff it in or over our ears. The SRS-NB10 is not that device but a big step in that direction.

The Sony SRS-NB10 is a budget wireless neckband speaker that still comes with all the necessary goodies and useful handsfree communication abilities

You work from home If you want to protect your ears from being overworked, then the SRS-NB10 is a smart alternative

Should you buy the NB10? Probably not. While the idea is interesting, it brings nothing but novelty for now. While a part of me enjoyed using these as an alternative to the earbuds and headphones I usually use with my PC, nothing about these makes me want to switch long-term or recommend them to most people. There’s nothing terrible about the NB10, and I won’t be surprised if it winds up with a small group of people who love it. Besides that, just like its predecessor, it’s a strange, overpriced product that most people won’t have any use for.

The Sony SRS-NB10 is a niche product that is primarily intended for those who work in a home office and want to make the sound personal and flexible without being “locked inside” a set of headphones.
