Looking for a surround sound experience? For more personal use, a headphone is what you'd pick. If it's a living room, you'll usually get at least a soundbar or Hi-Fi set. But what if you can get a speaker that stays on you? Say hi to the Sony SRS-NS7.

Sony unveiled the SRS-NS7 yesterday for those who want to enjoy an immersive personal cinema sound experience. This wireless neckband speaker features an X-Balanced speaker unit, which consists of up-firing speakers and passive radiators. They combine to deliver rich audio with clear bass, all on a flexible neckband that's comfortable and can easily stay on.

In terms of features, the Sony SRS-NS7 has 360 Spatial Sound and Dolby Atmos support for a personalised surround sound experience. It also comes with a wireless transmitter that can be connected to a TV, allowing you to enjoy movies and games at night without disturbing anyone. It even has IPX4 water resistance, supports mobile devices, hands-free calling, and more.

The SRS-NS7 is expected to retail for around USD 299.99 (RM1255). It was spotted on Sony Malaysia too, so we know that it'll launch here eventually. But would you be interested in getting one? Let us know in the comments, and stay tuned to TechNave for more updates about this.
