Best neckband earphones under Rs. 2000 in India for 2024

Bluetooth earphones have exploded in popularity ever since Apple removed the headphone jack from phones, which soon other brands followed.

And when the Covid pandemic hit, everyone started embracing the work-from-home culture which in turn has resulted in people using headphones or TWS options to attend meetings virtually or be at their online classes.

Moreover, the style of headphones matters too, especially when the companies promise comfort and the best audio from their every kind of headphones. Today, there are endless options available as on-ear, in-ear headphones, neckbands, and even truly-wireless earbuds, both in budget and flagship. 

Neckbands have its fan base, even when the TWS is going all vogue today. These are specifically loved by gym-goers and fitness enthusiasts. They are wireless and feature an unconventional design, where a horseshoe-shaped collar sits around your neck while you’re taking a jog or hitting a gym.

These super affordable neckbands promise superior Bluetooth stability, comfort, better sound quality, and so much more. So, let’s just dive straight into some cheap neckband earphone options.
