As the audio market evolves, neckbands remain a practical and profitable category for brands in India. Even as TWS earbuds dominate headlines, Bluetooth neckbands offer unbeatable battery life, cost advantage, and comfort — especially for users who prefer a connected feel during workouts, travel, or office hours.
If you’re planning to launch your own branded neckband product in 2025, here are the OEM features you must include to stay ahead.
Why Neckbands Are Still a Winning Product for D2C Brands
- 📈 High user retention (less loss risk than earbuds)
- 💲 Affordable production costs vs. TWS
- 🔋 Larger battery = better playback time
- 🎯 Strong appeal for fitness and working professionals
- 🏆 Easy to bundle for gifting, retail combos, and brand kits
At OEMitra, we believe neckbands remain one of the most scalable OEM product options for D2C brands targeting mid-range and value-conscious customers.
Must-Have OEM Features for Neckbands in 2025
1. Bluetooth 5.3 Support
Upgrade from 5.0 or 5.2 to 5.3, which offers:
- Faster pairing
- Better signal stability
- Lower battery consumption
- Enhanced multi-device connectivity
✅ Make sure your OEM neckband has 5.3 if you want to future-proof your product for the next 2–3 years.
2. Magnetic Earbuds with Auto-Pause
- Magnetic back-to-back ear tips keep the neckband neat
- Auto-pause/play when magnets connect or disconnect adds a premium feel
This feature is now standard even in ₹1,500–₹2,500 price segments, so don’t skip it.
3. ENC (Environmental Noise Cancellation) for Calls
While ANC is still more expensive, ENC is affordable and crucial for users who take calls on the go.
✅ Add ENC support and advertise “Clear Calling” in your packaging and listings
4. Fast Charging (Type-C Port)
Old Micro-USB charging is dead.
Use Type-C charging ports + offer fast charge capability:
- 10 minutes charging = 6–8 hours playback
✅ Essential for office-goers and travelers who prioritize battery backup.
