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.

I’m trying to track one down here at CES 2017 and once I do, I’ll report back on how it sounds and performs as a headset — it should be good because Sennheiser does make an excellent mono Bluetooth headset.
