How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want a lightweight, sweat-resistant neckband headset with retractable earbuds for workouts and all-day calls, choose AMORNO Headphones; if you need a foldable on-ear headphone with a huge 40-hour battery, swivel ear cups and a bass mode for long listening sessions, choose LORELEI Q60.
• AMORNO Headphones — biggest strength: A neckband design with auto-retractable earbuds, vibration call alerts, dual-device Bluetooth pairing and a sweatproof build, all in a body that weighs roughly 2.3 oz. Biggest trade-off: With 16 hours of playback and 3.5 hours to recharge, and in-ear tips that sit inside your ear canal, it is a specialist for movement rather than a lounge-all-day headphone.
• AMORNO Headphones — who it's for: Runners, gym-goers, commuters and anyone who takes a lot of calls and wants their earbuds to disappear onto their neck between uses.
• LORELEI Q60 — biggest strength: 40 hours of battery life on a single charge with only about an hour of charging, plus on-ear memory foam cushions, Bluetooth 5.4 and a Bass Mode for a fuller low end. Biggest trade-off: The on-ear, sound-isolating design blocks less outside noise than active noise cancellation and is bulkier than a neckband, so it is less suited to vigorous training.
• LORELEI Q60 — who it's for: Students, office workers, travelers and casual listeners who want one pair of headphones to last a week of listening without hunting for a charger.
The AMORNO Headphones are built around one idea: keep the earbuds on your body, not in a case you have to open every time. The flexible silicone neckband sits around your neck, and the auto-retractable earbuds let you pull the wire out to the length you want and press a button to reel it back in. The wire pulls out up to roughly 28 cm, which is enough to reach your ears comfortably without dangling slack. When you are done, there is nothing to untangle. If you have ever fished a knotted cable out of a pocket before a run, that detail alone will make sense to you.
Then there is the feature list for movement and calls. The headset is sweatproof and weighs only about 2.3 oz, so it is meant for outdoor sports and long sessions where you would rather forget you are wearing it. Bluetooth 5.0 with CVC 6.0 noise cancellation filters background noise on calls, and the headset can pair with two devices at once, so you can stay connected to a laptop and a phone without repairing. My favorite touch is the vibration reminder: when a call comes in, the neckband buzzes and announces the number, which matters if you are in a noisy gym or on a windy street and would otherwise miss the ring.
Battery life is 16 hours of music, 18 hours of talk time and up to 300 hours of standby after a 3.5-hour charge, and you can check the battery status on your device. That covers a full day of work plus a workout, but the long recharge time means you will want to plug it in overnight rather than top it up in a hurry.
Who should buy it: athletes, gym regulars, delivery and warehouse workers, and anyone who lives in a headset for calls and wants the earbuds to stay attached to them.
Who should skip it: people who dislike in-ear tips, want the biggest possible bass, or need multi-day battery life between charges. For those buyers, the LORELEI Q60 is the better fit. Also note the AMORNO is a wireless-only design with no headphone jack, so wired listening is not an option.
The LORELEI Q60 takes the opposite approach. It is a traditional on-ear headphone with an adjustable headband and memory foam ear cushions covered in faux leather, built for sitting on your head comfortably for hours rather than clinging to your neck. The ear cups swivel and fold, and the package includes a carrying case plus a Type-C charging cable, so it travels reasonably well despite being the larger of the two. The case measures roughly 7.3 by 8.3 inches and weighs about 109 g, which tells you it is a proper headphone case, not a pouch.
The headline number is the battery: 40 hours of average life with about an hour of charging via Type-C. In practice that means you can listen through a full work week of commutes and desk time and only think about the charger on the weekend. Compare that with the AMORNO's 16 hours and 3.5-hour recharge, and the gap is obvious — the Q60 is the one you can grab without checking the battery first.
The trade-off: noise control is sound isolation, not active noise cancellation. The ear cushions physically block some ambient noise, but on-ear headphones generally let more of the outside world in than over-ear or ANC designs. If you fly a lot or work in a loud open office and want maximum quiet, that is worth knowing before you commit.
Who should buy it: students, remote workers, commuters and casual listeners who want long battery life, a comfortable on-ear fit and a bass boost without charging every night.
Who should skip it: runners and heavy sweaters who need a secure, sweatproof fit — the Q60 is not marketed for that — and anyone who wants active noise cancellation. Also note the Q60 has no headphone jack either, so both are wireless-only.
Side-by-Side: Which Should You Choose?
• Best for battery life → LORELEI Q60. 40 hours versus 16 hours, and it charges in about an hour instead of 3.5.
• Best for workouts and running → AMORNO Headphones. Sweatproof build, 2.3 oz neckband, retractable earbuds that stay on your neck.
• Best for calls and never missing a ring → AMORNO Headphones. Vibration alert, spoken caller number, and dual-device pairing.
• Best for long desk or study sessions → LORELEI Q60. On-ear memory foam cushions and an adjustable headband are made for hours of stationary listening.
• Best for deep bass → LORELEI Q60. The dedicated Bass Mode is the only explicit low-frequency feature between the two.
• Best for newer Bluetooth → LORELEI Q60. Bluetooth 5.4 versus Bluetooth 5.0.
• Best for compact carry → AMORNO Headphones. It folds, weighs a fraction of the Q60, and comes with a pouch instead of a hard case.
• Best for travel with a case → LORELEI Q60. The swivel-fold design and included carrying case protect it in a bag.
My Verdict
No. The Q60 is an on-ear headphone with no sweatproof claim, so it is a poor fit for running. The AMORNO is explicitly sweatproof and lightweight, which makes it the better training option.
The AMORNO lists active noise cancellation and CVC 6.0 for filtering background noise on calls. The LORELEI Q60 uses passive sound isolation from its ear cushions, which blocks less outside noise. For maximum quiet, the AMORNO has the edge on paper.
The AMORNO offers 16 hours of music, 18 hours of talk time, 300 hours standby and a 3.5-hour charge. The LORELEI Q60 offers 40 hours of average battery life with roughly a one-hour charge via Type-C.
No. Both are wireless-only Bluetooth headphones with no headphone jack, so plan on charging whichever you choose.
