First, many neckbands have comfort problem in your rear upper ear where the clip sits. Second, many have portability issue due to non-fold-away design. Last, many don't sound good. After having used almost 20 different models including many Japan only products, I highly recommend Sony MDR-G73. They sound bit veiled and limited upper range detail, but mdr-g73 are pretty good all around neckband in terms of sound. Only problem is they don't excel in any department of sound. That's not a bad news when considering they don't also fail in most field. These neckbands provide good comfort, portability, durability and even musicality. Also features really cool self-curling wire for neckband!
