These headphone are great! Not only do they look amazing and bring back a lot of great childhood memories, they have superb battery life, connect to Bluetooth without a hitch, and are light on my head but don't shift around when I am working out. The thin band is great and doesn't mash my hair down or hold heat under it and is easy to wipe clean. I also love the extra backup foam covers. The price is fantastic. The only reason they are losing half a star is because you get what you pay for with sound quality and lack of controls. The sound is sufficient for me, but a little on the airy side and I love that I can pause and skip tracks, but I really wish I could change volume and go back from headset controls. Minor drawbacks aside, I love these so much that I bought a 2nd back-up pair in case the 1st ones ever break and they aren't selling them anymore! Ha!

Great sound and comfort. Pros: - Light weight - Battery lasts a long time - No pressure on ear - Stays on your head - clear vocals - pairs fast - shows battery percent on my phone when paired (came 80% charged in the box) Cons: - Does not have a usb c type plug (2018 all my stuff has usb c now) - very hard to plug in cord to charge (not best design and I can see long term damage to the ear cushions) - hard to see LED light when ear cushion covers it - the ladies voice is really loud when you press button on the headphones I have been using these on the go paired to my Nexus 6P. Wow do these sound great. Good to see they have little bit of boom to them when watching videos on my phone. Downside (depending on user) is I can hear everything around me. The trade-off is they don't hurt my ears after hours of on time. No pressure, no pain just pure comfort. Did I mention how light these are? For the ladies out there (or men with longer hair), the band does not pull your hair. I remember back in the days, my metal band headphones like this always snagged a hair. I removed 1 star for the placement of the charging port. It is a very tight fit when you input the cord. I only charged once so far (didn't need charge was at 70% after a couple days of listening). The headphones come with an extra ear cushion (black). Wish they included another orange. Only comes with charging cable, no wall power adapter included.

I’m having a musical flashback moment. I was one of the millions of people almost 50 years ago who purchased the originals on which these are based. We’ll get to the sound in a minute, but I can assure you that my 50 year old headphones didn’t have ANY of the features you can find here, for 1/3 the price! SOUND and COMFORT: I listened my way back in time, sampling Cold Play, Fitz and the Tantrums and back to early Beatles and Bob Dylan. There was no disappointment. All music genres were quite natural, nicely covering a complete range of sound, decent bass and treble with perfect voicing. Because these are NOT isolating headphones, the bass also came as a nice surprise. Bass is not pounding but it’s realistic. Dynamic range is a bit limited; in other words, these won’t get as loud as more expensive headphones before distorting. It’s physics, not magic. These are low priced headphones that sound very good. These light, soft foam headphones sit nicely on my ears and can be easily tolerated for hours on end. It does not get better than this. FEATURES and SETUP: Both the charging port and Bluetooth indicator are slightly hidden behind the foam ear cover which must be pushed away from its resting position. The large button on the right ear piece controls EVERYTHING. Bluetooth (right side ear, press button for 8 seconds to connect using phone, etc). Select “JLAB Rewind” on your BT device. Power on (Press button 2 seconds). Power Off, hold button 4 seconds. (It says goodbye!) Answering/Hanging up phone. Play. Pause are a ONE button press. Activate Siri or Google Assistant is 2 click press. Custom EQ (3 click button presses cycles through 3 equalization settings). You’ll find one you like. There’s even an extra pair of ear cushions (I could switch out my Orange for Black in my set). COMMENTS / FEELINGS: <> The packaging is bubble-pack aggravating. <> There is no direct volume control . . but Siri increased or decreased the volume from my iPhone6 with no problem. <> There is no direct hard wiring to devices; it’s total commitment to Bluetooth, and that works perfectly. <> There is NO isolation from your environment, but that’s the design objective, and it can be desirable for many end users. <> I had to work to squeeze the micro-USB into its port, but that’s only because I was initially timid about lining up the earpiece to make space. SUMMARY: JLAB may very well sell millions of these to another generation. And, no, they aren’t going to outperform today’s crop of super-accurate, completely isolating over-the-ear headphones. However, these JLAB REWIND WIRELESS RETRO headphones are tremendous fun for an absurdly low price. There is no excuse for anyone not to take an audio trip back in time, as Bob Dylan invites you “. . . to dance beneath the diamond sky . . . [and] . . . forget about today until tomorrow.” Highly recommended. Great gift idea.
