Review on 🎧 Bluedio HS Neckband Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Wireless Wearable Personal Body Speaker with FM Radio/Micro SD Card, Lightweight Outdoor Sound Box for Cycling, Hiking, Handsfree Phone Call, and Private Music Experience by Jeff Apel

I bought this Bluedio Portable Speaker three weeks ago for $19.97 and $10.99 for an Anleo Hard Case at the same store Order paid, which is almost $31 at Revain Basic. I'm very happy with this combination because I can listen to podcasts, audio books and music and still clearly hear what's going on around me while I'm driving. I listen without violating DMV laws or my company's policies regarding the use of headphones, wearing earphones, or touching a mobile device while driving company-owned vehicles. Wearing it over a collared shirt to keep the plastic from touching my skin makes me forget it's there. I mainly use it in Bluetooth mode with my iPhone. Bluedio's four multifunction buttons let you turn it on and off, adjust volume, pause and play audio, and access modes (Bluetooth, FM radio, and SD card). ) and tune to FM radio. Listening to the radio on the go is not very convenient, since the antenna is poor and you get a lot of interference while driving. The channel search is fiddly but has a scan function and when it's on you can use the middle two buttons to navigate to channel selection. Haven't tried the SD card mode yet but am looking forward to saving a few things I'd like to hear repeated. The built-in microphone on Bluedio's right arm seems to work with Siri on my iPhone, but not as well as it does with my phone or AirPods. For speech-to-text dictation, it just sucks in comparison. So when I'm texting or emailing, I just turn off Bluedio and use the iPhone's excellent built-in microphone. It's worth noting that Bluedio barely fits. in an Anleo hard case. The zipper barely closes but closes with some force and keeps the Bluedio protected during transport. I'm really worried that the zipper won't last long because the size is a little different. Without directly comparing similar products, I suspect the inexpensive Bluedio portable speaker is likely to be heavier and have lower sound quality than the more expensive Revain units, some of which cost more. up to $300, but hey, that's part of the price.
