N18 Neckband Bluetooth Earbuds, Wireless Bluetooth 5.2 Headphones with Microphone, Ultra-Lightweight Comfort, IPX7 Waterproof, Deep Bass Strong Beat, 20H Playtime, Magnetic Earphones (Black)

I've had these 2 months now. If you're looking for a Skullcandy Ink'd wireless headphones dupe. You've found it. Those were my go to for the last 15-20 years. If you're looking then you know it's discontinued and you can only find them for parts now. Boy do I have great news for you. Same sound quality as the ink'd though doesn't go as loud. Sound quality/bass and noise canceling and placement were my top priorities to mimic the ink'd. It's got all 4. I did get foam tips to get a good "seal" for noise canceling and that worked perfectly. The wires are a bit long but I used a tiny black rubber band to control the length on them. The buttons are on the right and honestly as a right hander (though ambidextrous) I prefer it. It charges fast, lasts for days and with easy Bluetooth hookup. It is a "C" charging port which is what everything should be these days. Were at that point in technology. They are very light weight. They don't hug your throat like the ends of the ink'd did for me when wearing a scarf. All in all I give these a huge yes to anyone who likes noise canceling and great bass in their headphones. I'm a commuter so noise canceling is a huge must same with no wires. Especially if you're looking for a substitute to the Ink'd wireless that's tried and true.

I've been trying to find headphones to replace the Skullcandy Ink'd wireless headphones since they were discontinued. I used those for over a decade and I'm sad Skullcandy has discontinued them. I've tried a bunch of different headphones, but for a number of reasons I didn't like them. I've been using these TONEMAC N18 headphones for about 2 months now and they are a winner. I usualyl forget to write reviews but I'm so happy with these I want to, also in case anyone else is struggling to replace their Ink'd wireless. I'm going to do a TL;DR of pros and cons at the top with details below. Things I was looking for: TL;DR Pros: Neckband weight similar to Ink'd wireless, Cost is about the same, solid bass, controls are the same as ink'd wireless. Bonus pros: Super long battery life, USB-C charging. Can connect to two devices at a time. Cons: Like everyone said, cable length is long with no bands to adjust. Meckband is a little long (but I'm on the smaller side so these are probably perfect for someone bigger). Sometimes when I'm connected to two devices and I get a sound on the first one that connected, it doesn't switch to the second. Since I sometimes I Bluetooth turned on on up to four devices in a room at a time, it confused me at first. Easy to manage now that I know. Conclusion: I'm in love with these and so glad I found them. I look forward to many years with these headphones. ----------------------------------------------------- Neckband weight: I can't do the "true" wireless earbuds because 1) I'd lose them and 2) I'm allergic to nickel and have a reaction to them. So I need to have a neckband. Other headphones I've tried were either too light, so they slid off a lot, or they are pretty heavy (which I was kind of okay with if they worked well). These pretty much match the weight of the Ink'ed wireless. I will agree with other comments that the cables are a bit long and don't have that band that allows you to adjust the length. But honestly it's a small thing and can be fixed with a lightly tightened zip tie that is flush cut or something. I haven't done this yet. Cost: The Ink'd wireless were anywhere between $28 and $40. I had two pairs that I could switch on and off (mostly due to forgetting them or misplacing them). So every 3-5 years when an earbud died I'd purchase a new pair. At the time of this review I paid $26 for these. Bass: I don't need a lot of bass to be happy but I need a little, at least. Others I tried seemed to have zero or negative. Controls: I just need the basics. Volume up/down and one button for pause/play. You'd be surprised at a lack of controls. Also, one pair of headphones made you hold the plus/minus to change the volume. So it was impossible to adjust the volume slightly. Weird design choice. The tonemacs have the controls and behavior I want. Battery life: The advertised battery life is accurate on these. I've been superbly happy. I was fine with the 8 hours I was getting before but these are an improvement. Charging: Ideal but not needed was I wanted headphones with USB-C port for charging. It's getting more annoying to find micro-b cables. If you are thinking about buying these headphones, I seriously recommend them.

I've been using these for a week. PROS: I bought this for the battery life and the usb-C charging. It turns on and bluetooth connects quickly. The ear rubber part that goes in your ear stays connected to the headphone really well. The "Power On" and "Connected" voice is a well spoken english. The sound quality is the just like others I have had, nothing special but pretty good. No complaints on call quality on either end. Loud background noise is not heard by the person on the other end of a phone call. The Bluetooth connected range is the same as other headphones I’ve had. NITPICKING: These headphones do not tell you how much battery life is left when it turns on nor does it display battery life in the top status bar on my up to date iPhone. The controls are on your right hand side. The 2 controller/battery compartments are 3 inches long. It feels a little cumbersome but it's a trade off for the long battery life. Occasionally the volume up and down rocker switch does not work. The On/Off switch is above the up/down volume rocker switch.

For the last few years, I've been using a model of headphones called "N10." I have no idea if they were from the same company, but since mine were discontinued, "N18" seemed like the closest match. I really LOVED the N10s. I probably bought 10 of them, but not because they broke. I lost a few pairs, and I was constantly losing the little rubber ear pieces, so I'd order another pair of headphones just so I could poach the little bag of rubber ear parts. My favorite things about the N10s were that they were light, comfortable, and I could take them out of my ear and they would hang around my neck. I almost always have headphones on when I'm not working, and i hated earbuds because I'd have to keep putting them in and pulling them out of my pocket. The biggest thing I loved though, was that I could connect to 2 different devices and swap seamlessly between them. If I'm watching a video on my tablet and my phone rings, it pauses the video and switches the headphones to my phone automatically. I don't know why that is such a hard feature to find, especially these days, but I've had difficulty finding replacement headphones with this feature since the N10s were discontinued. So, long story (not so) short, I was on the hunt for similar replacement headphones because mine were discontinued, and "N18" looked like the closest option. For the record, I didn't want new headphones. I wanted MY headphones. I resented all other headphones, but begrudgingly ordered these because they seemed the closest, and another reviewer mentioned they can connect to multiple devices, which is a feature stickler for me. The headphones arrived quickly. I gazed longingly at my old headphones that were now falling out of my ears because all the rubber pieces disappeared into the ether. I said I was sorry, that I didn't want to move on, but they were no longer the headphones they were when we first met. I didn't really want to like my new headphones. It felt like I was betraying the headphones I had loved for so many years. I got over it pretty quick though! THESE ARE THE BEST HEADPHONES! I'm not an audiophile, but for my purposes these are perfect. I love them so much I bought a backup pair so I never have to be without when they're charging for a couple hours. PROS: - Connect to multiple devices and switch seamlessly. If you're watching a video on your your tablet and the phone rings, the headphones pause the video, switch to the phone when it rings, and switches back automatically after you hang up or decline the call - LONG BATTERY LIFE! I get about 2 straight days of heavy use before I have to recharge - Quick charge in about an hour - WATERPROOF! This is now a feature I can't live without. With my previous headphones, I'd have to turn them off and grab a shower speaker if I wanted to keep listening to videos/music while showering - Strong magnets keep the earbuds together like a necklace when not in your ears. I didn't realize how valuable this was until I went a few weeks without losing any rubber pieces. The magnets on my old version were weak, so the rubber was constantly getting catching on things and getting pulled off and lost. I still have all the original parts! Trust me, that's incredible. - Comfortable! I just leave them in and fall asleep. I can't even feel them, and they are still stuck in my ears in the morning. This is important to me. Before, I was switching to a headband headphones at night for comfort. The problem with the headband is that it tends to get knocked off my head at some point during sleep. I'm a heavy sleeper, and need to set alarms on my phone AND tablet. The alarm from my tablet only comes through the headphones, so if they're knocked off my head I won't hear it at all. I haven't missed a single alarm sleeping in these. - Great sound quality for video, music, and phone calls CONS: - I'm still trying to find one These are affordable, versatile, comfortable, and have a long battery life. For the price point, you really can't go wrong!

I like this earbud design where the "horseshoe" hangs on your kneck and the earbuds come off the ends. (Lg Style). I find I lose this model less when bending over (not in my ears). With this design, I also find that when I turn my head, the cable does not catch on my neck and pull the earbuds out of my ear. And the battery life is awesome. Even with constant use, you can probably charge every second or third day. I pretty much charge every night, but I do NOT have to. Not even close. Yes, the other type of wireless earbuds are nice (one in each ear, apple style) but they eventually fall out and you lose one. When these fall out, it just lands on your chest. The buds have magnets on them so they hold together on your chest and don't slip off of you. I do highly recommend these and battery life is OUTSTANDING. The down sides are minor. The wires are so long that when you wear seatbelts with these in the "parked" position, you have to decide if you want these over the seatbelt strap or under the seatbelt strap across your chest. I recommend over. Under is too binding. The other downside, and I realize I have a pretty active life, is that when you bend over and the earbuds hang down (again, not in your ears), they do tend to stick to anything metal because of the magnets. That is a little bit of a hassle. It does happen, but very minor even though it is mildly obnoxious. But I would not trade out the magnets to stop this. The magnets really help with not losing these like other similar headsets that I have lost. Speaking of magnets, when I pulled the earbuds apart one time, the magnet from one unglued and stuck to the other. Darn. But a drop of superglue and the magnet was reglued to the earbud and back to like new. Quality control issue so I just warn you. If it happened to me... Very fixable. All told, I give these a big thumbs up, even with the very minor inconveniences. Small tradeoffs. Having the magnets hold the earbuds together hanging on your chest is a big reason you will not lose these!!!! I have lost several headsets of this type that just hung loosely around my neck. They did not have magnets to hold the earbuds together. If I lose these or they break, I will buy another set. Honestly, even at $80 or $100, I would buy these again with no hesitation. They are fun to listen to music with and great to answer calls with. When I talk to people on the phone, they can hear me fine. And I can hear them excellent. Though I have no idea where the microphone is. They just work. These do stick in your ear very well.

Overall, these headphones are pretty good for the price. They work fine and the sound is decent for talking on the phone and everyday use. However, they don’t seem to last very long. The magnet on one of the headphones came off, and I’m not sure how or when it happened. Other than that issue, they do work well for calls and basic use. You definitely get what you pay for

Very good headphones! I was very impressed! They fit in my ears just perfect and sound really amazing! They charge really fast and stay charged for a long time.

Had it, lost it, replaced!! Love this. Good sound. Fits in my small ear canals. Use it at work, so it’s easy to just pull out when someone comes up to me. Also - it muffles sounds when I have them in and I’m not listening to anything. Long charging life. Easy to use.
