What reviewers said

Mpow Swift

The Mpow Swift is a lightweight, sweat-resistant neckband-style earphone aimed at athletes and gym-goers, with a secure fit thanks to ear stabilizers. It delivers a bass-forward sound signature and uses aptX for better wireless audio over Bluetooth 4.0, though its 5-hour battery is modest by today's standards. A simple button control scheme and a basic EQ option round out the package, while the lack of app support or noise cancellation keeps it firmly budget-focused.

  • Pro:Lightweight 22g design with ear stabilizers for a secure fit
  • Pro:Sweatproof build suited for workouts
  • Pro:aptX support for improved audio quality over Bluetooth
  • Con:Only 5 hours of battery life
  • Con:Bluetooth 4.0 may be less stable than newer versions
  • Con:No noise cancellation or transparency mode

Nothing CMF Neckband Pro

The CMF Neckband Pro is a budget-friendly neckband that packs hybrid ANC, LDAC support, and Bluetooth 5.3 with multipoint into a lightweight 29.6g design. Its 13.6mm dynamic driver delivers bass-forward sound, while the 37-hour total battery (17 with ANC) and IP55 rating make it a versatile daily companion. With five mics for calls and app-based EQ, it offers strong value for its price point.

  • Pro:Long battery life, especially with ANC off
  • Pro:Effective hybrid ANC for the price
  • Pro:LDAC codec support for high-res audio
  • Con:Bass-heavy tuning may not suit neutral listeners
  • Con:No wireless charging despite USB-C
  • Con:ANC battery life drops significantly to 17 hours
