Two classy wireless neckband speakers have just been launched by Japanese tech giant Sony in India. The Sony SRS-NB10 and SRS-NS7 wireless neckbands encompass a high-quality audio experience which is at the heart of Sony’s audio product offerings. The SRS-NB10 is priced at Rs. 11,990 (~$161) and the SRS-NS7 costs Rs. 22,990 (~$308), while the accompanying wireless transmitter for the SRS-NS7 is priced at Rs. 5,690 (~$76).

The Sony SRS-NB10 features a full-range speaker and passive radiators which delivers a great audio experience for its users. It is designed for online events and meetings and has up to 20 hours of battery life. Its deployment of Sony’s voice pickup technology helps to guarantee clear calls and noise minimization using its high-quality directional microphones. The voice quality is also enhanced through the device’s advanced audio signal processing capability.

The Sony SRS-NB10 is a light, comfortable and secure neckband that assures minimal discomfort while using the device. The wireless neckband can be charged via the USB-C port and up to 1 hour of playback could be achieved with just 10 minutes of charge. The SRS-NB10 is IPX4-rated, thus offers sweat and splash resistance.

The Sony SRS-NS7 is the pricier model among the two wireless neckbands and Sony says it is the world’s first Dolby Atmos compatible wireless neckband speaker. It comes with a decent mix of functionality and design efficiency including Sony’s BRAVIA XR. With the app support from the 360 Spatial Sound Personalize app, the SRS-NS7 delivers an excellent 360 spatial sound experience. Sony says the accompanying wireless transmitter (WLA-NS7) should be connected to a TV and then paired via Bluetooth for an excellent sound experience.

The SRS-NS7 has X-balanced speakers, a passive radiator, and an upward-facing speaker combining to give a top-notch audio experience. The SRS-NS7 is capable of working for 12 hours on a single charge although this is reduced to about 5 hours when on maximum volume. Similar to the SRS-NB10, the Sony SRS-NS7 has USB-C charging and quick charging functionality, as well as IPX4 splash resistance.

Sony has launched its first neckband speaker with the Dolby Atmos feature. The Sony SRS-NS7 is the first neckband speaker in the world to feature Dolby Atmos. The SRS-NS7 comes with the WLA-NS7 Bluetooth transmitter which combines with BRAVIA XR television models to transmit Dolby Atmos audio to the speaker. The 360 Spatial Sound Personalizer app will assist users to take pictures of their ears to create an HRTF map of their ears. The HRTF map is then fed back into the system to customize the Atmos sound to your specific ear and head shape.

The SRS-NS7 can also minimize the latency in audio for an improved viewing experience. However, the low latency feature is only compatible with BRAVIA XR TV models. Unfortunately, even Sony’s TVs are not currently compatible with the low latency mode.

The SRS-NS7 can also be paired with a PC, smartphone, or any Bluetooth-enabled device source. Calls are also possible with the microphone. The SRS-NS7 can connect to two devices simultaneously, which is impressive.

The SRS-NS7 comes with a single active driver and one passive radiator on either side. Both are angled upwards for precise positioning of the sound outlay. The speaker has a fabric cover and a flexible neckband, and the device is IPX4 splash-resistant. Up to 12 hours of activity is guaranteed on a full charge, with fast charging also possible. A quick ten-minute charge can give up to an hour of battery life.

The WLA-NS7 wireless transmitter is sold separately for $60 and can be used with some Sony Bluetooth headphones.
