This around-the-neck wearable gaming speaker is created to fit around one’s neck, just like a necklace. Since immersive audio is required during a gaming session, such an immersive speaker system is crucial to let you hear all minute details that can influence your gameplay, including approaching footsteps.

Panasonic wearable gaming speaker specs and features

The pillow-like wearable speaker, which appears to be an aeroplane pillow, was developed in collaboration with Final Fantasy XIV Online and Square Enix. You simply have to place this speaker around your neck, resting on your shoulders, while gaming. It offers you personal surround sound for people who don’t like wearing heavy headsets for hours or don’t have a proper home cinema system.

The SC-GN01 speaker system is available in three distinct sound modes: FPS (first-person shooter), role-playing, and voice. In addition, it even comes with a noise-canceling and echo-cancelling microphone that you can use for in-game chat. It even removes the sound coming from the integrated speakers. Overall, its chat quality is very clear at both ends.
