How we picked?
Battery life
Average battery life for wearable speaker is 6 hours, but there are a lot of options that top over 10 hours.
Sound quality
It's picky, and you may like a set with clear, bright highs, nice, accurate mid-range and proper bass response - that's possible with the speaker's sound configured for a very good balance.
Call quality
If you work from home and often make calls on Zoom, Team with your colleagues (They hear no echo of themself). Call quality is important, fortunately there are certain features like pressing button to answer or advanced codecs for noise reduction.
Surround sound
It depends on the video/music streaming services you subscribed, which support popular spatial audio technologies. The surround sound feature in wearable speakers provides more immersive watching movies/listening music experience.
Size and portability
Probably you don't want to wear a heavy neck pillow, it's same for wearable speaker, so size and weight define the comfort level and stabititly of speaker on your neck. If you move a lot pick the portable one.
Earbuds attached
Attached earbuds to speaker base allow you to listen music privately.
