Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium YOGA, X1 Carbon Gen.9, X1 YOGA Gen.6, X12 Detachable – business laptops with Intel Tiger Lake

The time has come for another portion of information about the upcoming Lenovo laptops, straight from CES 2021. After the IdeaPad 5 Pro and IdeaPad 5i Pro multimedia notebooks, as well as the Lenovo YOGA Slim 7i Pro ultrabook, it’s time for a business solution from the ThinkPad family. Since the transition of the brand by Lenovo, this series has been occupied by Intel Core processors. It will be no different this year, all flagship ThinkPad laptops will use chips 11 Intel Tiger Lake-U generation. Among the debuting models, however, we can find very interesting devices. Some of the first reports appeared last year. This year’s flagship of the company, the most polished model will be the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium YOGA – as the name suggests, the manufacturer used a titanium housing here.

Another group of laptops presented by Lenovo are business notebooks ThinkPad. Among the new products for 2021 we will get ThinkPad X1 Titanium YOGA, ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen.9, ThinkPad X1 YOGA Gen.6 and ThinkPad X 12 Detachable. All models are CPU-based 11 Intel Tiger Lake generation.

The most important laptop in the series ThinkPad will this year be the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium YOGA model. The equipment uses a titanium housing, thanks to which the notebook is to be much more durable than other devices from a similar business class. The sale will include variants supporting both the 4G network (LTE category 9) and 5G (LTE category 1200 ) or wireless only (WiFi 6). Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium YOGA weighs 1, 15 kg or 1, 18 kg when selecting version with 5G / 4G modem. The equipment is based on Intel Tiger Lake-U processors (with Intel vPro security) with TDP reduced to 12 W. It will therefore not be the most powerful ultrabook on the market. The manufacturer went towards slenderness, lightness, a more solid casing and a long battery life. With a capacity of 44, 5 Wh, the equipment is to work for close 11 hours away from power

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium YOGA also uses an IPS matrix with a 3: 2 aspect ratio and a resolution of 2256 x 1504 pixels. The screen is characterized by a luminance of 450 nits and support for HDR Dolby Vision. The second laptop presented is the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen.9. Here, the manufacturer offers not only Intel Tiger Lake processors, but also a matrix with the proportions 16: 10 and a larger battery with a capacity 57 Wh. The new ThinkPad X1 Carbon also got a wider, 110 mm touchpad with greater precision . The equipment is based on the Intel EVO platform, with the ability to be put into 20 GB of DDR4 RAM 3200 MHz. The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen.9 features a blue light reduction screen with Dolby Vision support. In addition, the notebook uses Dolby Atmos and Dolby Voice techniques, improving the sound quality, among others. during a videoconference. The laptop will be optionally available with a 5G modem (LTE Cat. 20 )).

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 YOGA Gen.6 convertible ultrabook has also received a very similar specification. Unfortunately, as in the case of Carbon, I did not know the specific screen resolution here. We only know that we are talking about the IPS matrix with the proportions 15: 10 and the diagonal 14 inches. Looking at the other laptops presented, I bet that both notebooks will be equipped with screens 2560 x 1600 pixels. ThinkPad X1 YOGA Gen.6 will be powered by Intel Core i7 processor – 1165 G7 and integrated graphics Iris Xe Graphics, paired with up to 32 GB of DDR4 RAM 3200 MHz.

The last novelty presented is the Lenovo ThinkPad X 12 Detachable, with detachable screen. On the back, there will be a special hinge with a stand, allowing you to freely place the tablet with the screen. Lenovo ThinkPad X 12 Detachable comes equipped with Intel Tiger Lake-Y processors – the most powerful unit will be Intel Core i7 – 1160 G7 with a clock base 2.1 GHz and clock up to 4.4 GHz with Turbo Boost 2.0 mode.

CES: HP shows light premium notebooks: Aero, Dragonfly, Folio, Envy

HP has brought several new releases of compact business notebooks to the CES. The 13 – Zöller EliteBook 840 is coming soon with the EliteBook 840 Aero is a closely related sibling, but weighs less than 1.2 kilograms. While the ProBook in this country is only available in the lighter Aero version, the EliteBook 840 Aero does not replace the regular EliteBook 840, but expand the range. This makes the device particularly interesting for those business users who want a light work device without the admins having to dig a lot deeper into the till.

Maximum Dragonfly If the budget is rather secondary, the Elite Dragonfly G2, which weighs less than a kilogram, is an all-round revised noble -Notebook. The inner workings were not only updated to Intel’s eleventh generation of Core i (Tiger Lake), but also converted in other ways: The integration of the find-my-device search service Tile, available as an option, is now also possible in combination with a cellular modem and not more only alternatively. Other options such as a privacy screen, which was added over time in the first generation of devices, are available on the G2 from launch.

If that is still not enough, the Elite Dragonfly Max can also give you a special high – Buy the end model of the high-end notebook. The differences do not affect the technology in the fuselage, but the lid: Instead of a 720 p- it contains a 5 -Megapixel camera and four instead of three microphones – you are particularly well positioned for the video conferences that are common these days. In addition: Only the Max version can be bought in black instead of blue.

ARM convertible If you mainly get by with web applications, the Elite Folio with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8cx and 5G modem could be of interest. Because of the ARM processor you have to do without some classic x 24 – Windows applications, But in return you get a completely silent 1.3-kilogram notebook whose battery, according to HP, is over 24 Lasts hours.

Another special feature: the screen is hung on two hinges so that you can move from the notebook to the Can switch tablet mode and back without having to lift the device. The pen-operated 13 5 touchscreen has the rare aspect ratio of 3: 2 particularly high image height, while the EliteBook 720 Aero and the Dragonfly with conventionally narrow 16: 9 displays come along.

Strong envious people The fourth notebook in the series of presentations is not a business device, but offers a compromise between mobility and gaming power: Im Envy 13 with this screen size combines HP quad-core processors from Intel’s Tiger Lake family with Nvidias Mid-range GPU GeForce GTX 1200 Ti – for which you have to carry around 1.6 kilograms. In the lid there is a touchscreen in 24: 10 – Format (1920 × 1200 pixels), which is a useful plus in image height.

What to expect from Samsung’s Galaxy S21 event

Samsung’s next Unpacked event will kick off on January 14th at 10AM ET, and thanks to copious leaks, we have a pretty good idea of what to expect from the big day.

Samsung is widely expected to announce its next lineup of flagship phones, which will likely be called the S21, S21 Plus, and the S21 Ultra. The S21 Ultra is rumored to have top-of-the-line specs, cameras, and, in a first for an S-model Galaxy phone, support for Samsung’s S Pen stylus. The S21 and S21 Plus are expected to have similar specs but differentiate in size.

A new set of true wireless earbuds, the Galaxy Buds Pro, and a Tile-like item tracker, the Galaxy SmartTag, also seem like a lock. Rumors about both products have hit the web recently, and they each showed up in a leaked preorder ad for the S21 Ultra. And of course, Samsung may surprise us with things that we don’t know about yet.

Here’s the rundown of what we think we know so far.

Samsung’s Galaxy S21 Ultra will support the S Pen stylus

The Galaxy S21 Ultra.

Let’s talk about the Ultra flagship first. The big new feature for the S21 Ultra is support for the S Pen stylus, as confirmed by Federal Communications Commission filings. However, the stylus is rumored to be an optional accessory, and the phone isn’t rumored to have a dedicated slot to store it, unlike the company’s Note series of phones. WinFuture posted images of an optional case that allows you to store the S Pen, though, so that might be a useful accessory to pick up to help you not lose the stylus. WinFuture also reports that the S Pen will cost just under €40, which translates to just under $49.

As for cameras, the Ultra will apparently have four back cameras, including 3X and 10X telephoto cameras, according to WinFuture. Both of those telephoto cameras are also expected to have optical image stabilization and a 10-megapixel resolution. The phone may also have Samsung’s 100X “Space Zoom” feature that first debuted in the Galaxy S20, reports Android Police.

The other two back cameras are rumored to be a 108-megapixel wide-angle camera and a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera, and the selfie camera may be 40 megapixels. The phone could also have laser-assisted autofocus, something that was included with last year’s Galaxy Note 20 Ultra.

You can get a closer look at the rumored camera setup for the Ultra in this leaked marketing image from leaker Evan Blass:

The Galaxy S21 Ultra’s rumored cameras.

The Ultra is also expected to have a 6.8-inch WQHD+ (3200 x 1440) resolution display, according to WinFuture. It’s also expected to support a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, and leaker Ice Universe says the S21 Ultra may be able to run at that full WQHD+ resolution with the 120Hz refresh rate, something that the S20 Ultra couldn’t do.

The S21 Ultra is also rumored to support 5G networks, be IP68 certified for water and dust resistance, have a 5,000mAh battery, and come with 128GB, 256GB, or 512GB of storage.

The Galaxy S21 and S21 Plus will offer similar specs at different sizes

Samsung also plans to announce the Samsung S21 and S21 Plus, which won’t have quite as powerful specs as the Ultra.

The most obvious difference between the S21 and S21 Plus is a smaller camera module. The two phones are expected to have a 12-megapixel wide-angle camera, a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera, and a 64-megapixel telephoto lens, reports WinFuture. And both phones will reportedly have a 10-megapixel selfie camera.

Here’s a better look at the cameras on the S21, thanks to another leaked marketing render from Blass:

The Galaxy S21 and S21 Plus’ rumored camera setups.

Image: Evan Blass

As for screens, the standard S21 is expected to have a 6.2-inch display with an FHD+ (2400 x 1080) resolution, while the S21 Plus is rumored to have a 6.7-inch screen with an FHD+ (2400 x 1080) resolution. Both are expected to support a 120Hz refresh rate screen as well, though it apparently won’t be an adaptive refresh rate, according to Android Police.

Like the Ultra, both the S21 and S21 Plus are expected to support 5G networks and be IP68-certified. They’re also expected to be offered with either 128GB or 256GB of storage. And depending on which model you buy, they’ll have different battery sizes: the smaller S21 is rumored to have a 4,000mAh battery, while the S21 Plus is expected to have a 4,800mAh battery.

Each phone is also rumored to have a different back cover material. The S21 could have a plastic back, while the S21 Plus may have a glass back, according to WinFuture.

The S21 lineup may not include a power charger in the box

Samsung’s newest phones may take a cue from Apple by not including a charger in the box, according to WinFuture’s reports about the S21, S21 Plus, and S21 Ultra. And the company recently deleted ads mocking Apple for not including a charger with the iPhone 12 lineup, lending credence to rumors that Samsung will be making a similar move.

While the decision could be a good one for the environment, keep in mind that if you’re thinking about picking up an S21, you may also need to consider purchasing a separate charging brick to go along with it.

The new phones may run Samsung’s One UI 3.1

Samsung’s S21 lineup may run One UI 3.1, and a video from YouTuber Jimmy is Promo reveals some of the features that could be coming in the new update.

The video, which apparently demonstrates One UI 3.1 running on the S21 Ultra, shows off a way to record from the front and rear cameras simultaneously, some of the S Pen features that work on the S21 Ultra, backgrounds for the call screen, the ability to select video resolution from the video recording screen, and more.

Samsung’s new Galaxy Buds Pro true wireless earbuds could compete with the AirPods Pro

In addition to its S21 slate of phones, Samsung is also heavily rumored to announce a new set of true wireless earbuds called the Galaxy Buds Pro. Not only have they been revealed as a preorder freebie for the S21 Ultra in a leaked marketing render shared by Blass, but YouTuber Digital Slang has already posted a hands-on video and comparisons with the AirPods Pro and Samsung’s bean-shaped Galaxy Buds Live.

The new earbuds are rumored to have active noise cancelation, an eight-hour battery life (up to 28 hours with the charging case), and an IPX7 water / sweat rating. You can see how the Galaxy Buds Pro compare to some of Samsung’s other true wireless earbuds in this leaked spec sheet from WalkingCat. The Galaxy Buds Pro may cost $199, making them a more affordable alternative to $249 Apple’s AirPods Pro.

Samsung may launch its Tile-like item tracker called the Galaxy SmartTag

Image: 91mobiles

Samsung’s rumored new Tile-like Galaxy SmartTag will apparently use Bluetooth to connect with devices and share its location. The tag itself looks to be a small square with rounded corners and a loop at the top to make it easier to attach to things, as shown in photos posted on the website of Taiwan’s telecom regulator and shared by 91mobiles. The design in the photos also matches an image of the SmartTag in the leaked ad of preorder bonuses for the S21 Ultra.

It seems likely that the SmartTags will work with Samsung’s new SmartThings Find app, which lets you track the locations of your Galaxy devices, similar to Apple’s Find My app.

The TCL 20 5G makes an appearance with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 690 and 6GB of RAM

by Jordi Bercial Ago 35 minutes ago …

Among the products launched by TCL we find Mini LED panels and roll-up screens , but we also find a more traditional terminal that reaches the mid-range of the market with a processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 690.

Among the specifications of the terminal we find, in addition to the aforementioned Snapdragon 690, 6GB of LPDDR4 RAM, and capacities of 128 and 256 GB of internal storage along with a MicroSD slot that allows us to add a card of up to 256 additional GB , something that we will provide more capacity than virtually any user will need.

Likewise, we find a screen of 6. 67 inches with FullHD + resolution, a battery of 4500 mAh Qualcomm compatible Quick Charge 4.0+ by 18 W, and Android 10 as pre-installed operating system , which TCL announces that will be able to upgrade to Android 11 in the future, so we can rest assured that we can count on the latest version of Android for a long time.

The prices at which the different versions of this terminal will arrive are unknown , so we will probably have to wait for the brand to make an announcement later to clarify this point about its availability. ad, since the dates on which these terminals will reach the market are not known either.

Netgear’s new Nighthawk RAXE500 is its first Wi-Fi 6E router

At CES 2021, Netgear announced its first Wi-Fi 6E-ready device that takes full advantage of the 6GHz band: the Nighthawk RAXE500, a $599.99 tri-band wireless router.

Wi-Fi 6E wireless routers like this one broadcast over the 6GHz band, in addition to serving the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands that most devices can use. A number of devices launching at CES 2021 will support Wi-Fi 6E, and as a result, routers like the new Nighthawk RAXE500 can provide unfettered bandwidth to devices that require a lot of it. Not just that, devices connected via 6GHz can avoid disruptions from the many other household devices (even those being used by nearby neighbors) that operate on the crowded 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.

Netgear’s new high-end router looks like a manta ray, which is to say it’s relatively par for the course for the Nighthawk line of wireless routers. Looks aren’t everything, though — the router should provide some very fast AXE11000 Wi-Fi signals. Netgear claims that this device can push beyond gigabit speeds for mobile devices, and that it has a total throughput of 10.8Gbps over wireless.

The new Nighthawk features five gigabit ports and two USB 3.0 ports on its rear. It supports multi-gigabit speeds via a compatible DOCSIS 3.1 modem, either through the RAXE500’s single 2.5Gb link or by opting for a multiport link aggregation method (which offers up to 2Gbps speeds).

A view of the ports featured on the RAXE500 Wi-Fi 6E router.

Netgear has some other announcements for CES 2021, including an unlocked version of its Nighthawk M5 5G mobile Wi-Fi 6 hotspot. A variant that’s locked to AT&T already exists, but this one’s unlocked for use with a SIM from any carrier that supports sub-6GHz 5G spectrums. (For this and the products mentioned below, Netgear says it has certification for T-Mobile and AT&T, though it’s still working to get Verizon’s certification and hopes to by February.)

The mobile hotspot’s internal battery can last up to 13 hours, if it lives up to Netgear’s claims, or it can operate plugged in via its USB-C port. In addition to serving as a wireless router that can connect to up to 32 wireless devices at once, the hotspot can be used as a 5G modem by plugging it into a wireless router via its Ethernet port. This could be handy if you live in a place that doesn’t have great options for internet service.

The Nighthawk M5 5G mobile Wi-Fi 6 hotspot is coming to North America in the first half of 2021, and while no price has been announced for the US region, it currently costs a hefty €799 in Europe.

From left to right: the Netgear LM1200 modem and the Nighthawk LAX20.

In a similar vein, Netgear has two other new products that are unlocked and support a mobile network via SIM cards, which could be useful to fall back on if there’s an internet service interruption or in place of having internet wired into your living space.

The LM1200 is a $149.99 modem that accepts a 4G LTE SIM and supports CAT4 speeds (up to 150Mbps). It’ll be available later this month. If you want a Wi-Fi 6 wireless router that accepts a 4G LTE SIM card, the $299.99 Nighthawk LAX20, which is now available, may be a good fit. In addition to supporting wireless connections, it’s faster for wired connections than the LM1200 with CAT6 speeds (up to 300Mbps).

TCL at CES 2021: TCL MoveAudio S600 headphones, TCL MoveTrack pet tracker and TCL Wearable Display glasses

During Friday’s presentation of TLC devices, next to TCL smartphones 20 5G and TCL 20 SE, which we wrote about a moment ago, brand accessories also appeared. Among them we saw TCL MoveAudio S headphones 600, TCL MoveTrack pet locator and TCL Wearable Display glasses. Especially the latter, equipped with an OLED panel by Sony, may interest the greatest enthusiasts of new technologies. However, they are to be available at an unspecified time this year. We know, however, that both the headphones and the locator will appear in stores in February and in spring.

TCL introduced the TCL MoveAudio S headphones with useful options 600, TCL MoveTrack animal locator and TCL Wearable Display glasses. Especially the latter, equipped with an OLED panel from Sony, may be of interest to the greatest enthusiasts of new technologies.

The great test of in-ear and in-ear headphones True Wireless

Headphones TCL MoveAudio S 600 will appear in stores in February 2021 for the price of 149 euro (~ 680 PLN). The manufacturer advertises the structure as a premium model. In fact, this wireless intrathecal model must be given a wealth of functions. S 600 enjoys the presence of both ANC (active noise reduction) and the presence of the Transparency mode (the ability to hear sounds from the outside without having to remove the headphones, thanks to the microphones). The latter mode will be appreciated especially during phone calls, because hearing our own voice means that we do not unconsciously raise its intensity, which ultimately likes to end up even shouting. The already mentioned ANC works both during conversations (ANC of microphones) and during listening to music (reducing sounds from outside). The manufacturer suggests that the headphones without the ANC option turned on will last for 7 hours on a single battery charge, and the powerbank case will extend this time to 28 hours. The headphones can also be charged wirelessly, they have received the IP resistance class 54, they use Bluetooth version 5.0 BLE and SBC, AAC codecs. AptX is unfortunately missing.

TCL C 71 and TCL C 81 – QLED TVs with Dolby Vision and HDR 10 +

Pet tracker TCL MoveTrack will appear in stores in spring for the price of 99 euros (~ 450 PLN). It may not be the cheapest gadget, but such a one-time expense will certainly prevent many unpleasant experiences that took place especially during the New Year’s Eve (many animals scared by the roar of firecrackers escaped from their owners). The gadget will allow you to attach it to the pet’s collar and, using WiFi and GPS, to view its location in real time. What’s more, a dedicated mobile application will notify us immediately as soon as the pet leaves for 10 meters from us. The app will also allow you to set the so-called “safe zones”, and the tracker itself will also serve as a monitor of the pet’s activity (number of steps taken, meters, etc.). The gadget is equipped with an individual QR code, after scanning which you can reach the owners of the lost quadruped. The screen is also backlit, making it easier to track down the loss at night. The whole has an IP resistance certificate 67, and one battery charge is enough for 14 work days.

TCL plans a smartphone that can be extended to the size of a tablet

Glasses TCL Wearable Display are one of the most interesting TCL offers, but neither the date of availability nor the price has been given yet. This is not another competition for VR goggles, but classic glasses with a built-in dual FullHD micro OLED screen from Sony, thanks to which we will be able to view photos, watch movies or play games. You can connect a smartphone, tablet, laptops and desktops to the structure, as long as these devices offer a USB C port that supports the resolution 1080 p. The device also has support for displaying 3D content. As the manufacturer assures, the whole thing is extremely light, 80% lighter than competing solutions, and the construction itself does not it sticks too tightly to the eyes, and it is at a distance from them, thanks to which we can avoid eye disorders or headaches, and we do not lose contact with the environment. The content you view with TCL Wearable Display glasses can be compared to viewing it on an external screen 140.

TCL 20 5G and TCL 20 SE – The premiere of new, reasonably priced smartphones with Qualcomm Snadpragon series systems

TCL, known primarily for the production of TV sets, introduces two new mobile devices to its product offer, while this year’s line 20 will get a total of five smartphones. TCL 20 5G and 20 SE, which we will talk about in a moment, will be available in Polish stores at the end of January, at the latest in February. Interestingly, these models will also be included in the offers of our telecoms. We will have to wait for the availability of TCL Pro 5G, TCL L and TCL S, so we will focus only on two frescoes, which are a direct continuation of the TCL series 10. These smartphones differ not only in appearance and price, but also, and maybe even above all, extremely different technical specifications.

The premiere of TCL smartphones 20 5G and TCL 20 SE. Two of the five series models 20 from TCL have just been officially presented. We check their technical specification, availability and prices.

POCO M3 smartphone test – Stereo speaker power, unusual design and battery life 6000 mAh are impressive

Currently testing TCL 10 Plus and in the coming days a test of the device will be published on our website. Meanwhile, the manufacturer decided to expand its product portfolio with new models. Let’s start with the weaker one. Yes, the underdog. Let us not be afraid to use this term for budget planners. TCL 20 SE is inexpensive, because it costs only 149 euro (approximately 670 PLN ) smartphone running Android 11 with Qualcomm Snapdragon 460, Adreno artwork 610, 4 GB RAM and 64 GB of eMCP memory. The performance is provided by a battery with a capacity 5000 mAh charged with power 15 When using the USB connector -C. The equipment supports WiFi b / g / n, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC and the Dual SIM function. Unfortunately, the latter is a hybrid solution.

TCL C 71 and TCL C 81 – QLED TVs with Dolby Vision and HDR 10 +

Visually TCL 20 SE is doing quite well for this price range. Here we get a large one, as many as 6, 82 – an inch screen with a V-shaped notch for the camera. Unfortunately, the resolution is only 1640 x 720 pixels by aspect ratio 20. 5 : 9. The bezels surrounding the screen are far too wide by today’s standards. The smartphone is quite heavy, as it weighs 206 grams per dimensions 172, 08 x 77, 14 x 9.1 mm. The manufacturer has placed here a photo set consisting of 16 MP wide angle camera with f / 1.7 light, 5 MP ultra wide angle f / 2.2 and 2 MP cameras with f / 2.4 aperture for macro and depth of field detection. Selfie made with 8MP front camera with f / 2.0 light.

TCL 20 5G is a higher model, but as the price suggests 299 euro (approx. 1350, this is a device medium shelf. We can count on a more attractive appearance, smaller frames and a more efficient photographic set. The manufacturer put 6 here, 67 – inch screen with resolution 2400 x 1080 pixels, Qulacomm Snapdragon chip 690, Adreno graphics 619, 6 GB LPDDR4X RAM and 82 or 256 GB of UFS 2.1 storage. The latter can be extended with the use of microSD cards for another 206 GB. A battery that we charge with a strong 18 W, can “boast” capacity 4500 mAh . We will take photos using a photo set consisting of 48 MP wide-angle main unit with f / 1.8 optics, 8 MP ultra-wide angle with f / 2.2 aperture and 2 MP macro units. For selfie photos the MP front module with f / 2.0 light hidden in the dot-shaped screen notch is responsible.

Best neckband headphones Buying Guide: Welcome to What Hi-Fi?’s round-up of the best wireless neckband headphones you can buy in 2021.

If you’re aiming to get fit in the new year with runs around the park, workouts in the garden or just a HIIT in the front room, a pair of neckband headphones to upgrade your playlist could be just the boost you need.

When it comes to sports headphones, there are three types of wireless earbuds available: true wireless earbuds, wireless with a cable, and earbuds with a neckband.

These wireless neckband earphones feature a horseshoe-shaped collar that sits around your shoulders and houses a battery and Bluetooth transmitter. The designs may look a little unconventional, but you’ll quickly reap the rewards.

Neckband headphones combine convenience with impressive battery life (high-end models offer 10 hours playback) plus features such as noise cancellation. You won’t be plagued by connection issues, either, since most offer superb Bluetooth stability. And there’s the issue of keeping them in your ears – many would argue the neckband design is the best way to do it.

Most of the big-name audio brands have leapt on the neckband trend, so there’s now a range of options to suit everyone from commuters to fitness fanatics. Want to to cut the cord without sacrificing sound quality? Here’s our pick of the best neckband headphones.

1. Sennheiser Momentum In-Ear Wireless

The best neckband headphones, offering superior sound quality and a luxurious design

SPECIFICATIONS

Bluetooth: Yes | Noise-cancelling: No | Battery life: 10hr | Weight: 53g | Built-in mic and controls: Yes

Reasons to Buy

Open sound

Expressive vocals

Powerful bass

Reasons to Avoid

Bass maybe a little too powerful

This neckband headphone model is based on Sennheiser’s Award-winning Momentum in-ear headphones, so you’re guaranteed sensational sound quality. As well as impressive dynamics and superb vocal clarity, they offer features galore.

To add a touch of luxury to your listening experience, Sennheiser has trimmed the neckband in soft nappa leather. And when you get an incoming call, the neckband gently vibrates – a useful feature even when you’re not using listening to music. In a hurry? They fast-charge in one and half hours.

These Sennheisers are our pick as the best neckband headphones around thanks to the top-of-the-class style, sound and build quality.

2. Sony WI-1000X

Noise-cancelling neckband with superb sonics

SPECIFICATIONS

Bluetooth: Yes | Noise-cancelling: Yes | Battery life: 10hr | Weight: 71g | Built-in mic and controls: Yes

Reasons to Buy

Punchy bass

Insightful midrange

Well balanced

Range of noise-cancelling modes

Reasons to Avoid

Neckband could be more flexible

The big draw here is the noise-cancelling functionality. Sony has gone to town and added an ‘Adaptive Sound Control’ mode that continuously tunes the sound profile to match your movement (sitting, walking, running and transport).

The result is superb sound that’s punchy and nuanced. It’s also worth noting that these neckbuds feature aptX HD Bluetooth, which provides the option to stream audio at 24bit/48kHz resolution.

Some of the buttons on the neckband have dual functionality (longer presses activate different functions), but unless the lack of dedicated buttons grinds your gears, you’ll be wowed by these hugely impressive earphones.

3. Bowers & Wilkins PI3

Brilliant wireless buds from B&W

SPECIFICATIONS

Reasons to Buy

Clean, detailed presentation

Solid, weighty and tight bass

Flexible design and fine build

Reasons to Avoid

Not IPX rated

Lack of eartip options

Bowers & Wilkins has successfully made a smooth move into the headphone market, building on its almost unrivalled reputation when it comes to making speakers. In-ears of this design, which makes us think of sport and the gym, haven’t necessarily been on the hit list however – fear not, B&W has knocked it out of the park with these neckband wireless in-ears too.

The PI3 earphones are a dual driver design, complete with a flexible neckband. We would prefer a few more ear tips to get the optimum fit, so it might be one to try before you buy. They deliver a decent battery life and though they aren’t technically waterproof, B&W claims they are “resistant to light rain, splash and sweat”.

Happily, they deliver a clear, controlled, punchy and well-balanced sound. From rock to pop to hip-hop, the B&W PI3 earphones deliver a confident, entertaining sound. Another fine option from B&W.

4. Bose QuietControl 30

Refined, rhythmic and noise-cancelling

SPECIFICATIONS

Bluetooth: Yes | Noise-cancelling: Yes | Battery life: 10hr | Weight: 64g: | Built-in mic and controls: Yes

Reasons to Buy

Insightful sound

Impressive noise cancellation

Punchy bass

The QuietControl 30s are solidly-built and impress with their sonic ability, elegant design and best-in-class noise-cancelling. They never sound flat, and boast an impeccable sense of rhythm and timing.

Bose is known for its effective active noise-cancelling technology, which does a fine job of shutting out the world – without ruining the musicality of your favourite track.

While some people might find the collar a little weighty, the killer combination of premium noise-cancelling, superb battery life and outstanding audio quality adds up to a five-star review.

5. Skullcandy Smokin’ Buds 2 Wireless

Lightweight neckband that offers bang for buck

SPECIFICATIONS

Bluetooth: Yes | Noise-cancelling: No | Battery life: 6-7hr | Weight: 30g: | Built-in mic and controls: Yes

Reasons to Buy

Full, fun sound

Great price

On a tight budget? Skullcandy’s cheap neckband headphones are the best pound-for pound performers. While the brand is best known as purveyors of bombastic bass, its Smokin’ Buds 2 offer surprisingly rich and accomplished playback.

The paired-back design features a simple three-button remote and looks more expensive than it feels. If you’re into fitness and don’t want the collar jangling around, you can remove the earphones from the flexible neckband.

As you’d expect, advanced features such as aptX Bluetooth and fast charging are off the menu. But factor in the eye-catching price and it’s hard not to be won over but these solid, reliable performers.

6. Libratone TRACK+

Sporty buds with noise-cancellation

SPECIFICATIONS

Bluetooth: Yes | Noise-cancelling: Yes | Battery life: 8hr | Weight: 28g: | Built-in mic and controls: Yes

Reasons to Buy

Comfortable, secure and lightweight

Effective noise-cancellation

Splashproof

Reasons to Avoid

Lack some subtlety and attack

Libratone’s splashproof TRACK+ earbuds are aimed at sporty types and remain securely locked into your ears during intensive workouts. They’re light but powerful: with 8 hours playback you’re sorted for a marathon (or two).

Libratone’s noise-cancelling technology – dubbed CityMix II – offers four levels of noise cancellation, letting you choose how much of the world to let in. It’s pretty effective at blocking out everything from chugging lorries to office chatter, and can be tuned via the remote or Libratone’s app.

While not as crisp or insightful as the Sennheisers, the TRACK+s offer a deft balance of dynamics and clarity – without breaking a sweat. If you love running, these will go the distance.

7. V-Moda Forza Metallo Wireless

Sophisticated and stylish – but lacking in oomph

SPECIFICATIONS

Bluetooth: Yes | Noise-cancelling: No | Battery life: 10hr | Weight: 22.5g: | Built-in mic and controls: Yes

Reasons to Buy

Excellent detail and clarity

Balanced bass

Good-looking and comfortable

Reasons to Avoid

Not the best wireless performance

Lack some midrange power and body

If style and craftsmanship float your boat, you’ll be instantly drawn to these sleek earbuds made from “aircraft grade” aluminium. Their compact, minimal design is highly impressive – as is the clarity and upper-frequency refinement.

Sound isolation is good and they come with a nice range of tips (plus ‘sport hooks’ to hold them securely in place). Fast charging means two hours playback from 15 minutes of charging.

We did experience a few Bluetooth drop outs, though, and the soundstage lacks a little raw power. There are better all-rounders, but if you’re looking for outstanding sonic detail and a swanky design, make a v-line for V-Moda.
