Abstract

A shoulder-mount speaker and audio equipment mainly consists of a pair of speaker cabinets, a soft collar member, velcro strap, and a retaining bag. The collar member has fastening means provided at its two ends to allow it to securely circle around the user's neck. The retaining bag hangs below the fastening means and connects to the same with an extending strip member for accommodating a light, thin, and small audio unit. The speaker cabinets are designed in such a manner that they are suitable for separately riding on the user's shoulders with their speakers facing upward and near the user's ears. The velcro strap may firmly attach to velcro pieces separately fixed onto the underside of the speaker cabinets and the inner surface of the soft collar member so that the speaker cabinets, the velcro strap, and the collar member can securely connect together and the speaker cabinets are allowed to be adjusted to a most comfortable position the user prefers. Wires with plug extending from the speaker cabinets may be concealed in the velcro strap and then connect an audio unit in the retaining bag, permitting the user to enjoy the wonderful music at any place and at any time.
