sounds cool, which brands? i have never heard about standalone bluetooth neckbands before

5181pro, that uses the qcc5181 BT chip. Then I have mmcx to .78 2pin ear loops (you can find them for like $5). This allows me to swap out to other pin outs as well if I ever get IEMs with different pinouts than the most common (.78). The battery lasts me two days of 8-10 hour listening and they're decently well built. Way way stronger than the single cord ones you can get for cheaper. There is a 8 core braided one that nutty on YT suggestes to get but he suggested it back when it was $80 now it's $130ish and that was just way to much for my taste.
That looks great. I'm using iems with a simple USBC adapter. It works well, but a neckband might be a more convenient option, I just never found one I liked.
The issue I have with those is the wires going down my shirt and into my pocket. I have been thinking of looking for a clip on BT DAC/AMP to clip to my shirt neck and then a super short wire, but I can't find super short wires for whatever reason (that aren't priced at like $40). So I think I'm going to have to figure out how to make a pair.
Yeah, I actually also use a clip, an old pair of headphones came with a little wire clip and I just pulled it off and put it on these. It's helpful for sure.
Well your questions sparked me to look again for a short cable that's not $40...
And whatdaknow found these, look like same quality as the expensive ones and like $6. I ordered the blue and silver ones.

Once they get here in two weeks I'm going to try them out...but now I need to find a DAC/amp combo that's clip on lol
Nice, glad that worked! I hope everything turns out high quality!
