HOCO ES62 Plus "Pretty" Bluetooth Neckband Earphones (150-Hour Playback)

The HOCO ES62 Plus is a Bluetooth neckband earphone for music and calls, built around a single idea: not having to charge it very often. It is rated for up to 150 hours of music playback and 120 hours of talk time, so one full charge covers weeks of commuting for most people rather than a couple of days. Connection is Bluetooth 5.4 with a wireless range of 10m, and sound comes from a 10mm dynamic driver. Charging is over USB-C and a full charge takes 2 hours, while a fast top-up of 10 minutes returns more than 10 hours of playback. The neckband is rated IPX5 against sweat and rain, a small digital display reports the battery percentage, and the magnetic earbuds clip together around your neck when you stop listening. It will also play MP3, WAV and FLAC files straight from a TF or SD card of up to 128GB with no phone connected at all. That combination suits a long city commute, a campus day where a charger is nowhere to hand, or a workout where sweat and a sudden shower would worry a smaller pair of buds. The neckband rests on the shoulders so nothing drops out on a bus or a rickshaw, and the card slot turns it into a standalone player for anyone who would rather not run a phone battery flat on music.
