Wearing it all day and feeling it, Sony's wireless neckband speaker "SRS-NB10" makes telework stress-free

With telework, you can concentrate on your work while enjoying music with earphones without being unexpectedly called out. Even during meetings and calls, it is more convenient to wear earphones to move around freely, so there should be more than a few people who live with earphones all the time.

However, some people say that wearing it for a long time makes them feel tired. It's true that covering your ears all the time can lead to stress.

So, I decided to try a product that doesn't block my ears, so I tried using Sony's wireless neckband speaker "SRS-NB10" assuming use in telework.

Light and comfortable to wear forever

The body size of the "SRS-NB10" is about 191mm x 49mm x 185mm and weighs about 113g.

Wear it all day Sony's Wireless neckband speaker

This is a fairly light weight for the weight to be carried on the neck and shoulders and is comfortable to wear. It's like you're not wearing them! Although it is an exaggeration, I wore it not only when I was facing the PC at my desk, but also when I moved around with my PC in one hand, eating, looking at my smartphone and taking a break, but I wore it all day. It's a lightness that doesn't make you feel stressed.

Connection with PC/smartphone is done with Bluetooth 5.1. It also supports a multi-point function that allows you to connect to two Bluetooth devices at the same time and use one for music playback (A2DP connection) and the other for calls (HFP/HSP connection). Even when listening to music or making a call on the , you can seamlessly switch the sound source without worrying about the connection settings between the speaker and the device. I couldn't try it because it wasn't compatible with Macs and iPhones, but it's a function that seems to be useful.

Although it is lightweight, the battery has a nominal value of about 20 hours and a long life is also suitable for telework. If it is a cycle used in daytime work, the battery is calculated to have a margin of two days. Even if you forget to charge it, you can rest assured that it supports quick charging. It can be used for about 60 minutes with 10 minutes of charging, so if you make a habit of charging in the toilet or between meals, you will not have to worry about running out of battery. It is truly a speaker that can be worn anytime, anywhere, from work to private life.

The sound quality of the speaker is straightforward.It is good that the microphone has a high sound collection. In terms of the power of the sound, I felt that the "SRS-NB10" was somewhat modest, and although it was not dynamic, it had a straightforward sound.

If you want a more powerful sound, you can consider Sony's latest wireless neckband speaker "SRS-NS7". We are verifying how this product can be used for telework in another article, so please refer to it.

It may be unsatisfactory as a speaker for listening to music in a quiet room, but I felt that the quality was sufficient for web conferences and daily calls.

Telework is also equipped with a microphone, which is essential. Although the microphone has a little white noise, it has a high sound collection and feels like it is tuned for calls. Even in an environment where everyday sounds tend to enter, I have the impression that the voice is properly picked up and delivered.
