JLab Rewind Wireless Retro Headphones, Black, Bluetooth 4.2, 14 Hours Playtime, Custom EQ3 Sound, Music Controls, Noise Isolation, with Microphone, Throwback 80's/ 90's Design

I love these. I’ve been using them for a few months now; they are pretty loud; not loud that they are distorted or anything; they could be a little louder but tbh I’m glad they aren’t because I’ll wear them for a pretty long time.Sound doesn’t cut through them easily; but I like having a little bit of spatial awareness with noise in the room incase someone’s trying to get my attention.They are easy to wear, and easy to pull off one ear to need to check something.For the price, they are awesome. If they made a deluxe model I would buy it.One with maybe a few more buttons instead of remembering the sequence for the one button to do everything.But for quick charging headphones that aren’t cracking, getting loose, I haven’t had many problems.NOTE TO CREATORAn Aux cable input would make these VERY useful for things that require low latency.Or a usbc-to-device function that allows connectionExample: playing my midi keyboard with GarageBand on IPad; I can’t use these because they lag 1-2 seconds or soNot noticeable for media consumption: but really noticeable for playing keys.Besides some more traditional buttons in controlling next playback and pause

This is perfect if you listen to a lot of podcasts and audio books. For music the sound is well-rounded at home or in other relatively quite conditions, but among the muck of street noise or stores, the bass (understandably) gets lost. But that’s never an issue if your just listening to narration or news. I have a different set of close-eared NR headphones if I want to enjoy music. The comfort level and weight is superb. I’ve worn for 2 hours at a time, and I forget they’re on. On a 4 day flight vacay, I didn’t have to recharge once. More durable than most Walkman-style phones I’ve owned in the past.

Due to wear and tear cuz I do use this a lot I do have to buy them every let's just say a couple years. The only downside I find you know the same brand every other buy is slightly different or if you turn it on or off it only beeps where the in between it will tell you it's on or off. Occasionally especially with the one that does not say on and off when you're trying to turn it on or off it thinks you're skipping a song but aside from that that's the only reason it's not a five

I really enjoy these headphones.They are reminiscent of my childhood Walkman CD player days. They’re lightweight, with thin foam ear pads, and a long battery life. They can reach all the way across my house so I’m able to leave my phone on the charger.Notes: There is zero noise cancellation and the sound isn’t super high quality. Buy the product with the knowledge that they are inexpensive and retro, not up to modern over ear standards.They are exactly what I wanted. I would buy them again.

The media could not be loaded. Positives:Mostly comfortableVery LightweightNot BulkyWith app, configurable button tap mapping, EQ and firmware updates.Initial connection setup is easyBattery life TBD After 3 plus hrs is at 60 percentSound quality/neutral/Negatives:1. Volume is extremely low. Even at 100% with volume protection turned to default. I'm not looking for my ears to bleed and I don't even like extremely loud volumes, but this is extremely low.2. They sit just slightly off my ear canals, there's too much leakage and sound loss. It's also keeping the comfort from being 100 percent vs 90 something percent.3. The foam pads are too thin. Another ding in that Last10 percent for comfort. The driver housing is very rigid, and I can feel them more than I'd like to. Thicker, softer foam pads would really help. That's more money to spend on guessing which third party pads will be good.4. The hard plastic cover for the R side button is VERY loose and rattles at fairly slight head movement. ANNOYING. It also makes these feel extremely cheap feeling.5. The ear pieces are not really adjustable. I say not really, because they tip upwards a TINY BIT. And I think it does this in order to fit the charging cable.General stuff:Sound quality is "decent" given the price, but the volume level, even when at full, is quite LOW. And I have made sure to set " safe hearing" to default. Default is still far too low. And I don't even like making things loud.The Bluetooth functionality and associated button mapping is why these are 25 bucks, whereas if they were wired, they'd be 15 bucks instead. And if they were wired and $15, I'd send them back because I also bought JVC Flats, which are AWESOME., and like $14 but are wired.------------------------------------------------So, I wrote all of that several days ago, and since then, I've been able to take them outside for further testing. I just got back from Whole foods, and it was fairly dead (9:30 am). Why is this important? Because part of the reason I'm seriously considering sending these back, is....VOLUME.In the house, the aforementioned low volume is fine. I'm using these mostly for listening to podcasts, and podcasters generally don't brick wall their compression/volume and thus volume is much lower than when listening to music.Music playback is actually okay, but take these outside, with any ambient sound, and they suffer tremendously. Soundstage is really narrow and given how open these headphones are, the EQ adjustments are also somewhat lost a bit.Honestly, I'm torn about whether I should keep them or not. On one hand, I LOATHE wires/cables. And these headphones in that regard, matched with how light and mostly how comfortable they are, are a big selling point. Moreso than any other wireless headphones I've used.I will say though, that I do get ear fatigue on my left side. I've tried making the band looser to no avail. It's the hardness of the driver housing. I said this as point #2 above. I could look for thicker foam or make my own foam pads...but that's more $$Also, the rattling hard plastic on the right side ear piece, is extremely irritating. Any body movement, sets this off and it's SO distracting.To conclude, I'm leaning towards sending them back, which is disappointing. I'd keep both these and the JVC Flats if not for the volume issue and the rattling plastic on the right side ear piece.I'd use these exclusively while outside the house and the JVCs indoors. And honestly, the JVCs are possibly MORE comfortable than the JLabs. They're as light, and have softer padding for the ear pieces.And they blow the JLabs sound out of the water. But....Wires. BUT...but.... They ( JVC )have the sound signature of Koss PortaPros, but are more comfortable. If the jvc's were Bluetooth and everything else about them was exactly the same, they would be THE ultimate headphones, ever.I'll update after deciding if these go back.--------------++++++++++++++++++++++++++I've decided. I'm sending them back. I simply cannot deal with the volume issue. I could probably try to send them back and get a different pair to see if that fixes the rattling, and I could probably fix the comfort issue with the ear fatigue by putting different pads on them or just adding more foam to the inside in a custom fashion, but I feel like they might fix the volume issue with a version 3 and I would rather wait for that than waste the money.For now I'll just use the wired JVC headphones and that's it. I can even buy an extra pair of the jvc's because they're only $13 and have them for outside just in case they break. I will keep an eye out for an updated version of the jlabs for the future.I don't know if the volume issue can be fixed with a firmware update and I don't know if voltage can be tuned as such, so I will just wait it out and see. Try harder jlabs.....you can do it!Doug

Comfortable on my head, doesn’t squeeze. I have a small head.Sound quality is good.Comes with 1 pair of extra foam covers for the earphones, but the extras aren’t orange, they’re black. If you wanted a black color, you could simply change them out.Battery life is good. They’re thin so I can easily put them in my bag.My hair hasn’t snagged on them yet, which I experience a lot with certain headphones, so I’m really happy about that
