ZXQ
Bluetooth 5.4 and a 35-hour battery life drive these neckband earbuds, with a magnetic design that prevents loss during movement. IPX5 water resistance and six easily switchable EQ modes via inline controls adapt the 10mm dynamic drivers to any workout playlist. They’re best for gym-goers and runners who value all-day endurance and secure fit, though the weak microphone makes them a poor choice for frequent calls.
