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

Definitely better than most 40$ headphones I’ve usedOfc your paying for what you paid for so material isn’t to sturdiest but if taken care of like anything else it’s perfectly okay especially for the price. Love the mix of modern and retro design. Gotta have volume cranked to max to hear some detail in songs but in silent areas the sounds are lovely. They can adjust to head size.The only thing I can truely complain about is the button on the headphones that you use the pause, play, power, etc - sits kinda loose on the headphones so you’ll occasionally hear rattling or ticking when you bob your head or generally move relatively quick.But hey.. 20 buck is 20 bucks

Do they sound like Sennheisers? no. But you’d be silly not to buy a pair. Any place you need a lightweight, nearly disposable set of bluetooth phones these will do great- outdoor exercise in particular, plus with these you can actually hear when there’s cars and dogs coming at you (i find that’s a plus). comes with an extra pair of foam pads. download the app and follow the eq diagram in the photo (which someone had kindly posted in an online forum) and you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Overall, I am very happy with my purchase. I was looking for an inexpensive, lightweight, compact alternative to the in-ear style devices, which bother my ears. This fit the bill nicely and seems to be about the only product out there.First, the good...Price: Bluetooth headphones for under $20? Its hard to beat the price.Comfort: These are nice lightweight headphones that stay put and are fairly comfortable.Style: I like the clean retro look. Nothing fancy, just a basic set of headphones.Ease-of-Use: The limited controls are intuitive and easy to remember.Battery Life: I was surprised at the 12+ hour batter life. This is more than adequate for my needs.Next, the bad...Difficult to access the charging port and status LEDs which are hidden under the ear cushion.No volume control.Overall volume is not quite loud enough.Connector is micro-USB instead of more modern USB C.No noise cancellation.The ear cushions are a bit difficult to put on and come off a bit too easily (when stored in the pocket of my cargo pants).The ear cushions can get a bit warm on a hot summer day...though, not too bad.And, the not so sure...I don't really use these for phone calls or voice assist. Its nice to know that its supported, but I can't review these features.The pressure on the ears can be a bit hard. Though, without that pressure, the headphone would likely move around when I am active...so this is probably a good thing?Room for improvement...As shown above, there is room for improvement. I really hope these are selling well for JLab. I hope they will consider releasing a second model, perhaps at a slightly (hopefully not too much) higher price point.That said, before requesting the changes, I'll request that one thing remain the same. Please keep the same form factor. The few other retro headphones I can find are too big by comparison.My biggest grip is that the charging port and status indicators are hidden underneath the ear cushions. This makes it difficult to charge the unit or check status. Please move these to the bottom of the cup. And, while you're at it changing over to the more modern USB C connector would be a bonus.Adding a volume control would be a HUGE bonus. Perhaps, to keep the clean aesthetic, consider changing the single control button (on the right ear) to a rocker switch with a central button. Pressing in the center would activate both underlying switches (top and bottom) simultaneously, and behave the same as the current control. Pressing on the top of the rocker would only activate the top switch and would raise the volume. Pressing on the bottom would only activate the bottom switch and would lower the volume. With this scheme, the appearance could remain identical.Boost the overall volume of the headphones. While its OK now, it could be a little bit better.Add noise cancellation. Honestly, I don't care that much about this feature. I mostly use it while walking and like to be aware of my surroundings. That said, it would be nice for the brief periods I am riding on the train to cancel the noise. And, if the cancellation were decent enough, I might even be able to use them for short flights. Adding a tiny button on the bottom of the cup would be adequate to activate/deactivate the noise cancellation.Improve the "staying power" of the ear cushions.Maybe consider updating from Bluetooth 4.2 to something more recent.If even half of these suggested improvements occur, I'll be first in line to buy the newer version.

First of all, I guess I'm old and didn't fully realize it, because I was confused that these are considered "Retro". I also saw a review saying these are the "old fashioned style" and cringed a little inside. But alas; apparently they are retro because I had a heck of a time finding these. Over the last couple of years I've wasted money on top of money buying in-ear types; small ear buds, ear buds with the over-ear hook, you name it. I must have defective ear canals because they all cause me pain and don't fit right. If I can suffer through wearing them for a while, I end up with very sore ears at the end and that's if they even stay in that long. Next I tried a pair of ear phones, the large kind that cover your ear entirely and they're not much better. Super heavy and I don't like feeling totally isolated from the sounds of my surroundings. 99% of the time I am wearing these to listen to podcasts while cleaning my house. So big heavy earphones don't work with all my moving around and bending. I just wanted something lightweight that doesn't cause me pain. Here they are! I didn't realize they didn't make headphones like these anymore until I found this pair. I still have an old pair of Aiwa headphones like these but they're corded, so no good for housework obviously. So I was very excited to order these.I don't find the location of the USB port to be bothersome, unlike some other reviewers. You just move the foam a little and it's right there, it's not a big deal. And the cord fits in it easily, I'm not sure why others are having trouble fitting it in, unless maybe they change the cord style. The sound is great so far, I'm listening to a podcast as I type this and it's nice and clear and the intro music is bassy and sounds great. But I'm easy to please sound-wise and am just happy I'm not in pain, so if you're a headphone connoisseur you may feel differently.They paired easily and immediately with my Kindle Fire, very intuitive. I like that I can pause & unpause the podcast or music with a single touch of the button on the right side. They are marked L & R, although it's a little hard to see. I put a small sticker on the left side just to make it easier. They are lightweight and SUPER COMFY.As a bonus, these have a mic and can be used as a bluetooth headset for phone calls! I didn't realize that when I ordered them so it's a nice bonus. They are adjustable and go fairly large, although the smallest setting isn't very small, I have to angle them back a little bit for them to be tight enough, but that works fine for me. They come with a (short!) charging cord, which is the mini USB unfortunately and not the C-type, but you can't win them all. They also come with a spare pair of foam covers which is nice. It has a red light when they're charging and it switches to blue when charging is complete. They took just under 3 hours to charge fully.My only complaint is that there's no volume control. That's a huge bummer, because when loud ads come on during my podcasts I'll have to rush over to turn it down. But otherwise I'm really happy with these and definitely think the price was fair. My search for comfortable and light USB headphones is finally over.
