But these sound great. i bought last week on Gumtree, i have these on my neck all day literally. For someone who wanna listen to music anytime but tired of keeping headphones on ear, these are best alternative.
I completely agree with you.
But jbl soundgear doesnt sound as good dude… I have tried both
What's the point of having more codec support when the sound quality is inferior coz of the physical components.

It's not about sound quality, aptX-LL is specifically designed for low latency. If you're just listening to music then it doesn't really matter - I would probably just get the Bose. But when watching TV (where the JBL's sound quality would be perfectly adequate), it can get annoying if the audio is constantly out-of-sync with the video. Some people don't mind the added latency though, so the Bose could work just fine for them.
oh I get it now… thankfully have an oasis transmitter. but for me , its not for TV, its more for music and calls
Can I get Dolby Surround if I pair this with my new Bose sunnies?
BTW you should be able to stack it with the Spend $80 get $10 back AMEX offer. It has to be done in-store though, which means you'll miss out on ShopBack.
Alternatively if you can find a Harvey Norman store with stock, get them to price-match DJ, add two sim cards to get it over $350, and use this AMEX deal to get $50 back.
Hardly normal are useless, tried to price match and they pointed out flatly “price way below retail price”. I immediately purchase from David Jones. Knowing that David Jones has way much better customer service than crappy HN.
Took eug's advice & I got em priced matched from HN (+$3 cable that i wanted).. no issues at all.
Pretty good deal for $297 i must say
If my local HN had stock, I would be very tempted to get it myself. :)
@eug: Thanks for your advice dude … saved me a few more $$$
Didn't know about the amex deal until you pointed it.
Lucky you. I wouldn’t bother after the online sales gave poor excuse saying it’s way below their cost. So I’d just grab from David Jones whilst I can. Looks like David Jones expired the sales. Using it right now and am very happy with the purchase.
what…. are… those?
I believe the correct term is "Neck Speakers"
How do you connect them to your TV though?
None of my TV-s have 3.5mm output for bt-dongle. Somehow optical output is the only sound-out that new TVs seem to have.

With a low-latency transmitter like the TT-BA09.
The BTA version of the JBL SoundGear includes an aptX-LL low-latency transmitter, but I'm not sure how good it is. One review showed that if you go out of range and come back in, the sound gets messed up.
Do you know if it can be used as optical In - > 3.5mm out?
I want to connect my speakers to the tv, but tv does not have AUX.
Nope, for that you'd want something like this.
$20 on Aliexpress for same technology, different sound quality, different bluetooth ability.
Looks like JBL clone. Are they any good?
Has anyone used these before?
I'm looking for a set of headphones for a toddler to watch endless wiggles on a long flight…
Ive never used these before. I can state that you always get what you paid for. Bluetooth pairing would be the first issue, battery life the second. Sound quality will be passable and decent for a kid who is going to destroy it.
It's a pity it doesn't support aptX-LL like the JBL SoundGear. It'd work great for watching TV without having to turn the TV speakers up.
