Sieghard, I cannot provide a specific link and if I did, it might spoil
your exploratory fun. You have the idea of neck speakers. My Monster is
horse shoe shaped, fits comfortably around the back of the neck, and the
two speakers face upward roughly on either side of the head. Though they
may fee a bit heavy in the hand, one worn one could easily forget they
have the device on as I have occasionally done.
My fuzzy brain says you are from Canada so:
www.amazon.ca
once there, select electronics in the drop-down box, tab over to the
search field, enter "neck speaker" and spend money.

By "neck speaker" do you mean those who look a bit like a large
horseshoe and you hang them around your neck and the speakers then sit
more or less on your collarbone on each side of your neck, straight
down from your ears?
There are many of them available on Amazon, my first one was made of a
hard plastic and I found it less comfortable so I got another one
where the part that goes around your neck is a thick, round and
softer/flexible material. At the end of it then is the speaker part of
each side and on the right side are your typical controls for turning
the speaker on/off as well as play/pause, volume up/down and skip
forward/rewind. The one I have does have a microphone and I use it if
it's just answering a short call, but it's not really good enough for
a long conversation.
It is of course incredibly rude when people talk on the phone let
alone in a different language, I mean, where do we live? What is
Canada becoming with so many people from so many different countries
and cultures 🤣
Then of course I may have been heard speaking Germany on the phone
with my Mom or maybe my wife has dared to speak Filipino with her
family. What I certainly would not want is fo reverybody around me to
overhear not just one side but both sides of the conversation or to
hear which audio book I am listening to. A GPS announcement is one
thing, but that's about it and for me the neck speaker is something I
use when I am working in my shop or in the garden and I want to listen
to a book but not necessarily wear a headset.

Subject: Neck Speakers
Well gentle readers, perhaps I'm a little slow on the uptake here.
Apparently, neck speakers of various types and quality have been
around for a few years. For reasons of which I'm not quite sure, there
had never been a discussion of this audio alternative.
I bit the bullet and purchased a neck speaker made by monster. Were I
more knowledgeable and attentive, I would have purchased one which
included a microphone. For years, I had this damn silly idea that bone
conduction was the way to go so I wouldn't disturb the rest of humanity.
Forget that; the rest of humanity has been disturbing me for years
with one sided phone conversations, talking rudely on busses and other
places, and even in a different language.
I ride the buses which in Winnipeg have major stop announcements
announced for all to hear. When necessary, I have my GPS fill in the
streets not announced including my distance from my chosen location.
I make this noise by rubbing my hind legs together!
