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 like these, quite a bit! I have never really found a truly comfortable pair of in-ear buds that stay in reliably for me, and with many of the large over-the-ear designs I get uncomfortable from the heat and pressure from the large foam earpads.I like the super light-weight design of these, it is the first headset I have owned in years (decades?) that I can comfortably wear for 2 hours or more.While these don't have noise cancelling technology, I often find myself needing to be aware of external/ambient noises, so that is not a deal breaker for me.For the price, the sound quality at least slightly exceeds my expectations. Battery life seems impressive so far, after several weeks of ownership.I definitely recommend these if you are looking for a lightweight, simple, comfortable headset that will allow you to stay aware of your surroundings.These also work reasonably well for voice communication. A double-tap of the lone control button activates your device's voice assistant.I actually prefer the simple design, no volume control, just a single button on the right earpiece, which depending on the combination of taps and long presses used, can control most functions you could need.And, the retro look is nice. No regrets.

Bro I lovvvvvveeeeee these headphones! I work a FT customer service job with big, medium-weight headphones with that fake leathery material for the ear/headphone pads, but also do online classes and my therapy sessions over Zoom, so just more headphone-wearing when I'm off the clock. These headphones are nice and lightweight, last during my 3-hour classes, deliver sound clearly, and the foam for the ear pads just feel so nice and nostalgic. Comfortable, low-maintenance headphones! I have also not had anything negative raised about how I sound when using them, but maybe that doesn't involve the headphones at all or is just a setting with my iPad 11 Pro… Regardless, these pair seamlessly with my iPad, iPhone, and MacBook, and I'm just happy I made the purchase! :)

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.

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
