JLab Retro Headphones, Rewind Wireless Retro Headset with Custom EQ3 Sound, 12 Hours Bluetooth 5 Playtime Lightweight, Vintage Bluetooth Headphones with Mic

I’ve had these for a good long while now, I think about 5 or 6 months. These headphones are, honestly, much better than I expected. I bought them because they were cheap and had a cool retro vibe. But they’ve genuinely become the headphones that I take everywhere with meComfort and Practicalities:Small and light, so they can fit into bags easily, and surprisingly very sturdy for how much I’ve thrown them around. They’re adjustable and they’re quite comfy, as they sit nicely on top of my ears. (They also come with two different colour options for the ear pads, in case you want a more toned-back look. I’ve gone with the black ones, rather than orange). They’re not heavy, so very good for extended listening. They don’t block sound, but that works out well if you’re more comfortable knowing what’s going on around you.The Bluetooth connection was nearly instant and is very reliable - it connects to both phones and laptops very well, and I’ve never needed to re-pair them.Charging:They’ve got a really long battery life, and only need charging every 4/5 days in my experience. There’s a small charging point on the bottom of the right ear-pad bit. At first, I didn’t think the cable fitted, but if you kind of just push it a bit, it goes in and charges fine (you don’t need to take the pad off, just pull it up a little, out of the way). The charging cable is short, but if you just take them off and leave them to charge overnight (or for about 30/40 minutes) it’s completely fine.Sound quality:I thought they’d be worse, but it’s actually not bad at all, especially if you have your music quite loud. You can hear every layer of a track, and there’s no tinny-ness or crackling.All in all, very good headphones, and I’m very happy with my purchase :)

I wanted something with Bluetooth that goes on my ears rather than in like inear headphones they feel like dildos going into my ears and irratate them. Then I found these which is what I was looking for. Something old-school. They're lightweight and not heavy. They last for ages hours maybe from what I've tested.I can only complain about the highs trebles there a bit harsh! Also can't turn volume down on these you have to do it on your phone or other music devices.Overall I like them the soft cushions on the headphones are comfortable and people look at you because you know the deal too cool. Hopefully jlab will do a version 3 in the future and sort the frequency business out.

It was an unexpected delight to stumble upon these retro-style Bluetooth headphones. Their convenient combination of vintage design and modern technology made it a no-brainer to add them to my collection. Their remarkably lightweight build allows them to sit comfortably on your ears, making you practically forget you're wearing them. One of their shining features is the superior battery life, which dwarfs the 4-6 hours typically offered by earbuds by a significant margin. While they do allow ambient sounds in, this feature adds to the charm, mirroring the auditory experience of the good old days. So, if you're in search of a high-quality, wireless listening experience rooted in a throwback aesthetic with a marathon battery life at its core, look no further. A solid five-star rating - day in, day out!

Got these because they looked fairly comfy and are wireless. They are very convenient, the bluetooth connection is mostly fine over a distance of about 5 meters and have not encountered any issues with pairing.Build quality is decent, nothing special but nothing atrocious either. They do creak at times.Comfort wise they are good, but could have been better if the earcups swiveled horizontally, not just vertically. There's also plenty of adjustment for larger head shapes.My main issue though is the quite horrible sound quality. They are by far some of the worse headphones I've had the displeasure of listening to. No matter what preset I use they sound muffled, muddy and lack a lot of clarity. Soundstage is poor, imaging is quite bad, low end lacks extension, mids are recessed, highs are ok, but also lacking in extension or any kind of finesse. These headphones are true to the 'Retro' branding because these do sound like a cheap walkman pair of headphones from the 90s.Compared to a pair of Koss KSC-75, which are similarly priced, these are exponentially worse, several leagues bellow the Koss. I have pairs of small, cheap earphones like the Qian 39 that sound quite a lot better.Another issue I've encountered is channel imbalanced, the drivers probably aren't matched at all so there are several dB differences between the Left and Right drivers.The only impressive thing about the sound quality is that they managed to tune these drives so poorly, I'm impressed anyone at JLab listened to these headphones and thought the sound quality is adequate.Another negative is charging, you have to lift the earpad foam a little for the microUSB cable to fit, not really convenient.Battery life at least is close-ish to the 12 hour mark if used at around 50% volume.Don't get me wrong, they are cheap and they do the trick if you listen to audiobooks or podcasts, but I find them very inadequate for music and movies. The wireless makes them very convenient and the comfort is adequate enough to wear then for a couple of hours at a time, but again... do you want to with the sound quality being so poor?These could be winners if Jlab resolves the sound quality issue via better tuning or using higher quality drivers and move the charging port to a more convenient location. Sadly as they are, these are more of a novelty buy if anything.

These are great. They look good and for a lightweight pair of headphones they seem well made. They connect easily to my mobile. I read that some find that the charging point is difficult to access, I don't find it a problem. The sound quality is good, quite clear. Overall, well worth the money !
