This gives you the freedom to work, interact with others and hear what you wanna hear without being lost in the isolated bubble of your headphones. Wear it around your neck and the upward facing speakers give you music, calls, SIRI voice-control, and simple 3-button controls for playback, pause, & volume. 12-hour battery life.
