While truly wireless earbuds are still being perfected and for users demanding more than just 5 hours of music listening, the wireless neckband designs are still one of best available choices, a convenient and comfortable form factor. Sennheiser thinks so and, at CES 2017, introduced its new HD1 In-Ear Momentum Wireless with a unique "leather" neckband, high quality dynamic drivers and all the latest wireless technology, providing extended battery life.
 

Adding ear-canal headphones with Bluetooth connectivity to its acclaimed Momentum range, the new HD1 In-Ear Wireless headphone range "represents the perfect fusion of sound and style: Uncompromized sound performance meets minimalist design and carefully selected materials," as Sennheiser states. The new neckband headphone has been designed to enhance the experience of listening to music on mobile devices, combining a leading-edge acoustic design with Bluetooth 4.1, AAC codec support and Qualcomm apt-X.

“HD1 headphones are inspired by people that push boundaries and refuse to compromise in fulfilling their ambition,” says Dr. Christian Ern, Head of Portfolio Management Audiophile at Sennheiser. “With the new HD1 In-Ear Wireless, we are bringing this ethos to a compact Bluetooth neckband headphone.”

Elegant in every detail, the HD1 In-Ear Wireless features custom machined stainless steel in-ear sound tunnels with high quality dynamic drivers. The neckband design allows for a 10-hour battery life and an integrated three-button remote and high-quality microphone, making it easy to stay connected and make phone calls and control music on the go. The wireless circuits support convenient multi-connection with up to 2 devices at once, with 3-way calling support. Ease of use is further enhanced by NFC one-touch Bluetooth pairing with smart devices, an intuitive system of voice prompts to notify of pairing status and to provide battery life warnings, a vibration alert for incoming calls and support of USB audio with USB charging.
 
The around-the-neck design is typical of Sennheiser's Momentum range, with soft sheepskin nappa leather stitched onto the neckband. Ear adapters in four different sizes are provided for optimized fit in the ear canals to allow excellent attenuation of ambient noise. Meanwhile, premium materials such as stainless steel, mirrored chrome finish, and tough, impact-resistant polycarbonate give the HD1 In‑Ear Wireless the strength for a life on the move.
