How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want wireless foldable headphones with retractable earbuds and long battery life, choose Galirity Headset; if you need a shockproof hard shell to protect a pair of kids' wireless headphones you already own, choose Tourmate Hard Travel Case.
• Galirity Headset — biggest strength: A neckband design with retractable earbuds, Bluetooth 5.0, CVC noise cancelling and a claimed 16 hours of music / 18 hours of talk time per charge. In my opinion it's the pick if you want audio gear, not a storage accessory.
• Galirity Headset — biggest trade-off: It charges over Micro USB rather than USB-C, and the neckband format is a very different fit from over-ear or true-wireless buds. It suits people who want earbuds on a collar, not on their head.
• Tourmate Hard Travel Case — biggest strength: A three-layer EVA hard shell rated shockproof, waterproof and tear-resistant, with an internal mesh pocket and a soft rubber zipper pull.
• Tourmate Hard Travel Case — biggest trade-off: It is a case only — no headphones inside, and it's built around specific kids' models, so fit depends on your headphone's folded dimensions.
• Who each pick is for: Galirity for the buyer who wants one wireless headset for workouts, calls and commuting; Tourmate for the parent or owner who already has compatible wireless headphones and wants them to survive a backpack.
The Galirity Headset is a neckband-style Bluetooth headphone, model SX-990, with a very specific party trick: the earbuds sit on retractable wires you pull out to the length you want and retract when you're done. The housing is silicone, with a yellow silicone section inside the retraction mechanism to soften the sound of the cable snapping back. In cold practical terms, that means no tangled cord in your pocket and no loose buds rolling around a bag. The whole thing weighs about 74 g, which is light enough to forget you're wearing it around your neck.
On the tech side it runs Bluetooth 5.0 with a 10-meter range, supports connecting to two devices at once, and uses CVC noise cancelling with a built-in mic for calls. The drivers are dynamic, with a 20 Hz – 20,000 Hz frequency range — a standard full-range figure. Battery is where it stands out: 16 hours of music, 18 hours of talk and 300 hours of standby per charge, with a 3.5-hour charge time over the included Micro USB cable. There's also an internal nano-coating the brand says protects against rain and sweat, and a push-button control set on the neckband for play/pause, track skipping and calls, plus a vibration alert for incoming calls.
Who should buy it: runners, gym-goers, cyclists, delivery and warehouse workers, and anyone who takes a lot of calls while moving. The neckband keeps the electronics off your ears, the retractable buds mean nothing dangles, and multi-device pairing is genuinely useful if you bounce between a phone and a laptop. The included fabric carrying case and six ear tips in three sizes round out the package, and the brand lists a 24-month warranty.
Who should skip it: if you want over-ear isolation, a USB-C port, or true-wireless buds with a charging case, this isn't that product. Also skip it if you hate anything around your neck — the neckband is the entire concept here, not an add-on.
The Tourmate Hard Travel Case is exactly what the name says: a case, sold on its own, with no headphones included. It's designed as a tailored fit for specific kids' wireless headphones — Riwbox CT-7, Riwbox CT-7S and iClever HS01 — and it's clearly aimed at the family market, with a kid age range and a purple-and-pink colorway. The exterior is a three-layer EVA hard shell, which is the same family of material used in a lot of protective gear cases, and Tourmate rates it shockproof, waterproof and tear-resistant. Inside there's a soft short-plush lining plus a mesh pocket for cables and small accessories, and the zipper has a soft rubber pull so small hands can open it without a fight.
The numbers that matter are fit numbers. The case lists a maximum compatible device size of 8.5 inches and external dimensions of roughly 8.2 x 4.5 inches (the sheet's formatting splits this oddly, but that's the gist). Tourmate's own guidance is the useful bit: your headphone needs to be slightly smaller than the interior so it slides in and out easily. It weighs about 0.23 kg, so it won't dominate a school bag.
Who should skip it: if you own different headphones, measure before buying — a "hard case" that doesn't fit is just a box. And if you're shopping for audio gear rather than storage, this product does nothing for you, because there's nothing inside it.
Side-by-Side: Which Should You Choose?
• You need actual headphones → Galirity Headset. The Tourmate case contains no audio hardware at all.
• You need to protect headphones you already own → Tourmate Hard Travel Case, provided they're a compatible model or close to its interior dimensions.
• Best for battery life → Galirity Headset, with 16 hours of music and 18 hours of talk per charge and 300 hours of standby.
• Best for workouts and sweat → Galirity Headset, thanks to the nano-coating and the neckband that keeps weight off your ears.
• Best for kids and school bags → Tourmate Hard Travel Case, with its EVA hard shell, waterproof rating and rubber zipper pull.
• Best for hands-free calling → Galirity Headset, with CVC noise cancelling, a built-in mic, button controls and vibration call alerts.
• Best for multi-device users → Galirity Headset, which pairs with two devices at once.
• Best for travel organization → Tourmate Hard Travel Case, with its mesh pocket for cables and bits — and note the Galirity set also ships with its own fabric carry case, so it's covered for basic transport either way.
My Verdict
Not by design. Tourmate lists it for Riwbox CT-7, CT-7S and iClever HS01 kids' headphones, with an 8.5-inch maximum device size. The Galirity is a foldable neckband with its own fabric case, so there's no reason to pair the two.
Yes — it's listed with active noise cancellation and CVC noise cancelling technology, plus a built-in mic for calls. That's call-and-listening noise handling, not the deep isolation you'd get from big over-ear cans.
Per the specs: 16 hours of music, 18 hours of talk time and 300 hours of standby on a single charge, with a 3.5-hour charge time via Micro USB.
It's rated waterproof and built from three-layer EVA with a shockproof, tear-resistant exterior, so it handles rain, spills and knocks. It's a hard protective shell, not a dry bag for submersion.
