SonyBRAVIA Theater U Wireless Wearable TV Speaker with Bluetooth, Personalized Home Theater Audio, Gaming Compatibility, Built-in mic, 12 Hour Battery Life, IPX4 Splash-Resistant (HT-AN7)

I have no idea why no one is reviewing these. These things are amazing! At least I think so, the sound quality is on par with any other high end Sony sound product. And these are awesome if you live in a household like mine. I live in a small house, with a 13yr old Grandson who sits at his computer with headphones all the time, and a wife who really isn't into big theater sound when watching movies, and most of the time I want to watch a movie when she doesn't. So, until I got these speakers, I had to resort to using headphones of some sort or another. Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on how you look at it, I couldn't hear my wife when using my headphones, and nine times out of ten as soon as I started watching a movie, she would want to talk to me. But with these speakers I can have it all!! I can have my big theater sound without bothering anyone else in my house, AND I can have a conversation with my wife at the same time!Another awesome thing about these speakers is that I can wear them at work. My company does not allow us to wear headphones or earbuds while working for safety reasons, but it's perfectly ok for me to listen to a Bluetooth speaker. This Bluetooth speaker sits on my shoulders!! Yes, they are way pricey, but they are built with Sony quality, sound awesome, and for me, worth their weight in gold for so many reasons!Now these things will not be suited for traveling using public transit, you're going to annoy others sitting right next to you because they can hear things that you're listening to, it's just at a lower volume than what you're actually hearing. But that's why you use headphones or earbuds. These are not for travel; these are for big personal theater quality sound without the need of wearing headphones or earbuds.There is what I would consider a very small problem with them. If you move around a lot while wearing them, such as cleaning house, etc. They have a tendency to shift around on your neck, but if you're sitting still watching a movie, they feel very comfortable. I would like to see Sony come out with some sort of clip to hold them together at the front, or maybe a stronger band in the back that will hug your neck a little more.

Amazing product! This is not a replacement for headphones, or a surround sound home theater. It falls right in between the sound experience you get from your regular TV speakers and high end headphones or home theater. Don't expect too much bass. However the clarity is top notch. Extremely comfortable to wear for MANY hours. No fatigue like with headphones. If you live in an apartment complex where you don't want to disturb your neighbors and still enjoy great sound quality. This speaker does an excellent job! Again, it is no replacement for headphones or high end sound systems. But it fills in the gap in a great way.

These are amazing! I purchased a cheaper alternative because initially I was skeptical about spending this $200 on a pair of wearable speakers. I ended up returning the cheaper alternative due to poor sound quality and purchasing these. I am happy that I did! These sound great and I have really enjoyed using them. They have so far exceeded all expectations. Highly recommend! Don't let the few people who say the sound quality isn't good detour you from trying these out.

Cool concept. Bass definitely non existent.Does get loud and the quality is good.Know that I do own it , I can’t say I’d recommend it for the price. Specially it’s super niche.

OK, this is somewhat of a disclaimer, but I am a Sony fan, particularly their BRAVIA line. So I wanted to really like this - and I absolutely love it. I’m fortunate to have a premium Sony sound system in my house. And I wanted to have a nice speaker for travel, which I do very frequently for work. I of course use both headsets and earbuds for connecting to my iPad, but there are times when I don’t want to be as removed from what’s going on around me, like in a hotel room.I have used a really nice speaker in hotels, but in order to get a really nice sound quality I have to turn it up pretty loud - and I seriously don’t want to bother people in neighboring rooms. And, when laying on the bed, for example, that speaker doesn’t work really well - where do you put it? Many times there are knocks on the door or the phone rings and headphones are too removed. This is a fantastic compromise.It allows you to be fully immersed in the sound, while not removing you from what’s happening. The sound quality, as I put in the title of this review, is truly remarkable. I have no idea how they did it, of course, but the sound is almost very nearly what headsets allow. I’m very impressed. The battery lasts a very long time - I do recharge it after use, so I’m not sure how long it lasts, but I do know it’s several hours.NOTE: As described in Sony’s information, this IS NOT for use everywhere. It is NOT for use on a plane, it is NOT for use in the gym. Or anywhere that others would hear. (I have not tried it paired with another BRAVIA U.). But it gives the wearer fully immersive sound and does not remove you from surroundings. If this compromise between a speaker and headsets fits your needs, you cannot go wrong with this speaker. I more than highly recommend.

Overall, I like it! When my environment is noisy, I don’t have to completely isolate myself with regular headphones or blast a speaker at high volume just to cover the noise. The design is nice, and the sound quality is good.But there are a couple of drawbacks. There’s no real privacy since it’s basically a neck speaker, and the flexible band puts more pressure on my neck than I expected. I ended up wrapping it with a soft cloth to make it more comfortable.One more thing worth mentioning is that:For anyone planning to use this for gaming and keep it wireless, I’ve seen many reviews mention lag—and it’s true. But what most people don’t mention is that it supports the LDAC codec. If you can enable LDAC on your PC (may need install some drivers), the latency improves a lot. There’s still some lag, but it’s much better and acceptable for me, even when playing FPS games like COD and The Finals.
