Review on JLab Rewind Wireless Retro Headphones - Bluetooth 4.2, 12 Hours Playtime, Custom EQ3 Sound, Music Controls, Noise Isolation, with Microphone - White, Throwback 80s 90s Design by Mike Wieneke

Revainrating 2 out of 5

REVERSE: NO VOLUME CONTROL (Before: exactly what I was looking for, although the charging connection is in a stupid place)

REVERSE: Well, they were honest and never said that you could control the volume in the headphones . didn't realize how important this was until I tried using them with a TV. still suitable for audio books and other phone inputs. PREVIOUSLY: I've spent a lot of time looking for Bluetooth headphones that don't hurt my ears (which headphones and Airpods do, as well as noise-cancelling headphones that cause pressure in my ears). That's Bluetooth, but as they say in their foam headphones, it's retro. The size is adjustable and stays in place. The earbuds don't cover the earlobes, so no terrible pressure when wearing earrings (an issue with noise-cancelling headphones). anyway very glad i found it. Sound quality is ok but I use them for audio books and they are ok for that. The only complaint is that the charging port is located UNDER FOAM on the right ear cup, so the foam has to be moved to charge the earbuds. Moving the fragile foam is inconvenient and, worse, can damage it. a second pair of styrofoam sleeves (orange - why?) are included, probably considering the original gray styrofoam sleeves will have a short lifespan. Imo putting a charging port in this spot is just silly. (Maybe the product developers should have talked to the users before they were produced.) . I still give these headphones 5 stars because I like problem solving and they are comfortable for my inner ears and earlobes.

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • So so
