The Sennheiser HD1 Wireless ships soon.
Sennheiser's In-Ear Momentum may not be great, but the company's new HD1 In-Ear Wireless, which shares the Momentum's bud design, is one great-looking neckband-style headphone.
Due to hit stores later this month, the HD1 costs $200 (about £140 or AU$270 converted). It has sheepskin leather stitched onto the neckband -- with stainless steel accents -- that gives it a premium look missing from most of today's around-the-neck Bluetooth headphones.
