Since I’ve been working from home once the pandemic hit, I got tired of having headphones on my head all day and was looking for another option. A friend told me about speakers that sit on your neck so I started looking them up and found these Cleer Halo’s as a well priced option so I gave them a shot. What an excellent choice! Very comfortable, lightweight and people don’t know I’m talking to them on something other than my phone. The sound quality is great especially for when I’m riding my bike and nothing is covering my ears means I can hear the traffic better. If you’re thinking about an alternative, get these, you won’t be disappointed.

OMG! These Halos are awesome! I’ve never seen anything like them. I put them around my neck and turned on my music – WOW! The sound quality blew me away. They are lightweight, comfortable and I can wear them all day. I actually forget that I have them on until I get a call and I can talk on them too! I hate having headphones on and don’t always want buds in my ears, so these are perfect. I can still have conversations with others while I’m listening to music. Pairing with my phone was easy too.

These are awesome! I got these as a replacement for my Bose Soundwear Companions, since they don’t make those anymore. I like these because they pair with two devices at once, that’s a must for me. The only problem I have is the accessibility of the checkout process. I’m totally blind, and it didn’t say that my order was completed or send a digital receipt. But I guess that’s not a problem with the product itself. I love the sound on these things, they pack a punch and have a ton of bass. I hope these will continue to be manufactured. 🙂
