N18 Neckband Bluetooth Earbuds, Wireless Bluetooth 6.0 Headphones with Microphone, Ultra-Lightweight Comfort, IPX7 Waterproof, Deep Bass Strong Beat, 20H Playtime, Magnetic Earphones

For the last few years, I've been using a model of headphones called "N10." I have no idea if they were from the same company, but since mine were discontinued, "N18" seemed like the closest match. I really LOVED the N10s. I probably bought 10 of them, but not because they broke. I lost a few pairs, and I was constantly losing the little rubber ear pieces, so I'd order another pair of headphones just so I could poach the little bag of rubber ear parts. My favorite things about the N10s were that they were light, comfortable, and I could take them out of my ear and they would hang around my neck. I almost always have headphones on when I'm not working, and i hated earbuds because I'd have to keep putting them in and pulling them out of my pocket. The biggest thing I loved though, was that I could connect to 2 different devices and swap seamlessly between them. If I'm watching a video on my tablet and my phone rings, it pauses the video and switches the headphones to my phone automatically. I don't know why that is such a hard feature to find, especially these days, but I've had difficulty finding replacement headphones with this feature since the N10s were discontinued. So, long story (not so) short, I was on the hunt for similar replacement headphones because mine were discontinued, and "N18" looked like the closest option. For the record, I didn't want new headphones. I wanted MY headphones. I resented all other headphones, but begrudgingly ordered these because they seemed the closest, and another reviewer mentioned they can connect to multiple devices, which is a feature stickler for me. The headphones arrived quickly. I gazed longingly at my old headphones that were now falling out of my ears because all the rubber pieces disappeared into the ether. I said I was sorry, that I didn't want to move on, but they were no longer the headphones they were when we first met. I didn't really want to like my new headphones. It felt like I was betraying the headphones I had loved for so many years. I got over it pretty quick though! THESE ARE THE BEST HEADPHONES! I'm not an audiophile, but for my purposes these are perfect. I love them so much I bought a backup pair so I never have to be without when they're charging for a couple hours. PROS: - Connect to multiple devices and switch seamlessly. If you're watching a video on your your tablet and the phone rings, the headphones pause the video, switch to the phone when it rings, and switches back automatically after you hang up or decline the call - LONG BATTERY LIFE! I get about 2 straight days of heavy use before I have to recharge - Quick charge in about an hour - WATERPROOF! This is now a feature I can't live without. With my previous headphones, I'd have to turn them off and grab a shower speaker if I wanted to keep listening to videos/music while showering - Strong magnets keep the earbuds together like a necklace when not in your ears. I didn't realize how valuable this was until I went a few weeks without losing any rubber pieces. The magnets on my old version were weak, so the rubber was constantly getting catching on things and getting pulled off and lost. I still have all the original parts! Trust me, that's incredible. - Comfortable! I just leave them in and fall asleep. I can't even feel them, and they are still stuck in my ears in the morning. This is important to me. Before, I was switching to a headband headphones at night for comfort. The problem with the headband is that it tends to get knocked off my head at some point during sleep. I'm a heavy sleeper, and need to set alarms on my phone AND tablet. The alarm from my tablet only comes through the headphones, so if they're knocked off my head I won't hear it at all. I haven't missed a single alarm sleeping in these. - Great sound quality for video, music, and phone calls CONS: - I'm still trying to find one These are affordable, versatile, comfortable, and have a long battery life. For the price point, you really can't go wrong!

I purchased a set of very similar headphones from another vendor and they failed within a few weeks. I was able to return to Amazon for credit, so I reordered the same item and had another set fail even faster. Rather than go for 3 strikes, I decided to try a different brand and purchased these. The software is slightly different, but otherwise they appear to be virtually identical to the ones that failed, so I suspect they came from the same factory in China. I have been using them while working out four times per week for about six months and they are still working fine. Sound quality is probably not audiophile, but is very good for casual use. I typically recharge after each use, so I don’t know the maximum run time but I do know they will run for at least 3 to 4 hours. For use in the gym, I really prefer this design over typical ear buds or the larger over the head design. These are comfortable, you can never drop them, and I can take them off and just leave looped around my neck when I want to talk with someone. Good service from Amazon and no complaints about the headphones

Happy with this headset. And I'm usually very frustrated by bluetooth. Connects to phone and laptop simultaneously and seamlessly. Long battery life - multiple days of usage during commute and work day. I bought some memory foam earplugs and poked a hole in the center of them to make custom ear inserts Nitpicks: - pairing instructions a bit unclear - if I am a bit distant from my laptop it constantly connects/disconnects, and interrupts my phone audio to tell me this - wish turning off was a bit easier - it's a very long press until you hear confirmation in your ear

These bluetooth earbuds are really good. I paired it with my iPhone for work, music, videos and audios, So depending on my needs at the time. I also have to go into forget bluetooth and paired it with my Mac laptop so I think adjustability is a bit low on that. Audio is great, deep and people on the other side can hear me well. Have not tested it during rain for water resistant and won't. Cord length is just fine for me. Charging is fast. There is no bulkiness. After a while while wearing it, the inside ear feels pain because I guess it's what happened to a lot of earphones so I switched to speaker if it's not private and I'm in my room. The earbuds can also catch dirt from your ears easy, make sure to always clear them regularly.

EDIT: Changing my review, and if I could give it zero stars, I would. I've had them a whole three months, and they're already completely dead. Obviously, it's way too late to get a refund, so all I have now is a very expensive toy for the cats to chew on because they like the feel of the silicone in the neckband. BUYER BEWARE, because as you can see in the review below, I only had a few complaints when I first got them, but the listed issues got more inconvenient as time went on, to the point I was figuring when they did eventually die I wouldn't get another pair, and now they are completely non-functioning after three months (from March 13th to June 14th) of normal headphone usage. Old Review: I'm fairly happy with these, as these are the closest thing I've found to my Beats Flex in the year or so I've been looking. Downsides include the little piece of plastic that is supposed to cover the charging port is IMPOSSIBLE to pull open, and after a while, it got so damaged from me pulling it open with teeth or tweezers that it doesn't even close right anymore. Even though the headphones come together with magnets (like my Beats Flex) this does NOT automatically pause your video/music/etc. Buttons are good, and having additional controls (hold volume up to skip forward, hold volume down to go back, and so on) are nice. The part that hangs around your neck is kind of bulky (again, used to Beats Flex, which is very thin and not nearly as stiff), but they connect WAY faster than my other headphones do. It's almost instant, which is great. My favorite part about them (and the thing that takes this from 3 to 4 stars) is the INSANE battery on this thing. I listen to music basically all day, and I'm used to charging my headphones every night while I sleep; these headphones last all day, night, and then most of the next day, and all I have to do is plug them in for an hour or so, and they're back at 100%. As a hardcore headphone user who basically is never without some form of audio, it's truly amazing.

I've been trying to find headphones to replace the Skullcandy Ink'd wireless headphones since they were discontinued. I used those for over a decade and I'm sad Skullcandy has discontinued them. I've tried a bunch of different headphones, but for a number of reasons I didn't like them. I've been using these TONEMAC N18 headphones for about 2 months now and they are a winner. I usualyl forget to write reviews but I'm so happy with these I want to, also in case anyone else is struggling to replace their Ink'd wireless. I'm going to do a TL;DR of pros and cons at the top with details below. Things I was looking for: TL;DR Pros: Neckband weight similar to Ink'd wireless, Cost is about the same, solid bass, controls are the same as ink'd wireless. Bonus pros: Super long battery life, USB-C charging. Can connect to two devices at a time. Cons: Like everyone said, cable length is long with no bands to adjust. Meckband is a little long (but I'm on the smaller side so these are probably perfect for someone bigger). Sometimes when I'm connected to two devices and I get a sound on the first one that connected, it doesn't switch to the second. Since I sometimes I Bluetooth turned on on up to four devices in a room at a time, it confused me at first. Easy to manage now that I know. Conclusion: I'm in love with these and so glad I found them. I look forward to many years with these headphones. ----------------------------------------------------- Neckband weight: I can't do the "true" wireless earbuds because 1) I'd lose them and 2) I'm allergic to nickel and have a reaction to them. So I need to have a neckband. Other headphones I've tried were either too light, so they slid off a lot, or they are pretty heavy (which I was kind of okay with if they worked well). These pretty much match the weight of the Ink'ed wireless. I will agree with other comments that the cables are a bit long and don't have that band that allows you to adjust the length. But honestly it's a small thing and can be fixed with a lightly tightened zip tie that is flush cut or something. I haven't done this yet. Cost: The Ink'd wireless were anywhere between $28 and $40. I had two pairs that I could switch on and off (mostly due to forgetting them or misplacing them). So every 3-5 years when an earbud died I'd purchase a new pair. At the time of this review I paid $26 for these. Bass: I don't need a lot of bass to be happy but I need a little, at least. Others I tried seemed to have zero or negative. Controls: I just need the basics. Volume up/down and one button for pause/play. You'd be surprised at a lack of controls. Also, one pair of headphones made you hold the plus/minus to change the volume. So it was impossible to adjust the volume slightly. Weird design choice. The tonemacs have the controls and behavior I want. Battery life: The advertised battery life is accurate on these. I've been superbly happy. I was fine with the 8 hours I was getting before but these are an improvement. Charging: Ideal but not needed was I wanted headphones with USB-C port for charging. It's getting more annoying to find micro-b cables. If you are thinking about buying these headphones, I seriously recommend them.

I like this earbud design where the "horseshoe" hangs on your kneck and the earbuds come off the ends. (Lg Style). I find I lose this model less when bending over (not in my ears). With this design, I also find that when I turn my head, the cable does not catch on my neck and pull the earbuds out of my ear. And the battery life is awesome. Even with constant use, you can probably charge every second or third day. I pretty much charge every night, but I do NOT have to. Not even close. Yes, the other type of wireless earbuds are nice (one in each ear, apple style) but they eventually fall out and you lose one. When these fall out, it just lands on your chest. The buds have magnets on them so they hold together on your chest and don't slip off of you. I do highly recommend these and battery life is OUTSTANDING. The down sides are minor. The wires are so long that when you wear seatbelts with these in the "parked" position, you have to decide if you want these over the seatbelt strap or under the seatbelt strap across your chest. I recommend over. Under is too binding. The other downside, and I realize I have a pretty active life, is that when you bend over and the earbuds hang down (again, not in your ears), they do tend to stick to anything metal because of the magnets. That is a little bit of a hassle. It does happen, but very minor even though it is mildly obnoxious. But I would not trade out the magnets to stop this. The magnets really help with not losing these like other similar headsets that I have lost. Speaking of magnets, when I pulled the earbuds apart one time, the magnet from one unglued and stuck to the other. Darn. But a drop of superglue and the magnet was reglued to the earbud and back to like new. Quality control issue so I just warn you. If it happened to me... Very fixable. All told, I give these a big thumbs up, even with the very minor inconveniences. Small tradeoffs. Having the magnets hold the earbuds together hanging on your chest is a big reason you will not lose these!!!! I have lost several headsets of this type that just hung loosely around my neck. They did not have magnets to hold the earbuds together. If I lose these or they break, I will buy another set. Honestly, even at $80 or $100, I would buy these again with no hesitation. They are fun to listen to music with and great to answer calls with. When I talk to people on the phone, they can hear me fine. And I can hear them excellent. Though I have no idea where the microphone is. They just work. These do stick in your ear very well.

Sound quality is good which is the most important part. I ordered N18 earbuds from here a year ago that were perfect, but now they have changed the design which has resulted in worse battery life. It has about 24 hours worth of battery, regardless of whether I am actively using it to listen to something or not. So everyday I need to charge it even if I only used it for a few hours. Before, I could use it for 3 or 4 days before needing to charge. Seems like they took away whatever "sleep mode" or auto turn off feature that would preserve the battery life when nothing is being played. Now I have to be conscious of turning the earbuds off throughout the day to preserve battery.

Compré estos auriculares en agosto de 2023 y escribo esta reseña 3 años después. Son una maravilla, tremendamente resistentes. Han sufrido algún deterioro por el uso continuado (y yo les doy uso diario, muchísimas horas porque me gusta mucho escuchar podcast) los he llevado a la playa, de camping, de hiking y el rendimiento ha sido óptimo. Ya los del 2023 están gastados por el uso y los he vuelto a comprar, pero los viejos todavía se escuchan perfectamente. Cheff kiss. 100% recomendados

Coming fron Anker Soundcore r500, it had nicer sound quality and bass compared to this. Even after trying to tweak equaliser it is not good enough

Impeccable

Das Ding ist echt Klasse. Ich habe sie jeden Tag auf der Arbeit umhängen, und die haben schon viel aushalten müssen. Und funktioniert immernoch. Der Akku hält ewig. Ist nicht so penetrant mit der "Battery low" Meldung, hatte mal welche, die haben jede Minute bei knapp 10 % Akku Meldung gemacht. So das Musikhören nicht mehr schön war. Somit konntest du nur 90% des Akkus nutzen. Bedienung ist einfach über drei Tasten Lauter-, Leiser- und Powertaste. Langer Tastendruck auf lauter für nächstes Lied. Langes drücken auf leiser für Lied von vorn oder, in den ersten Sekunden des Liedes, voriges Lied. Power lange drücken an oder aus. Kurzes Drücken für Lied Pausieren oder Wiedergabe. Bei eingehenden Anrufen: annehmen oder auflegen. Der Kopfhörer bleibt so lange an, wie eine aktive Bluetooth-Verbindung vorhanden ist. Und geht nach einer gewissen Zeit aus, wenn keine aktive Verbindung besteht. Für den Preis, echt solide Leistung.

Great in-ear headphones for the price
