The Sennheiser CX 120BT is a quality pair of neckband-style wireless earphones complete with aptX and aptX Low Latency codec support. It is extremely rare for earphones at this price point to support these superior codecs. So if you want earphones with detailed sound and minimal latency, these are pretty impressive earphones you can consider. The earphones, however, come with Bluetooth v4.1 which is pretty dated. You get 6 hours of wireless playback time and micro-USB charging. The earphones also house a three-button remote that allows users to control music playback and calls. The company has provided three sizes of interchangeable silicone tips, so most users should be able to find a pretty good fit.
