These are perfect with sound I didn't expect. So wonderful! Love the retro design and old school comfort with all the great modern features of Bluetooth and sound quality.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I fell in love with these the moment I saw the packaging. Also, they sound FANTASTIC, and are so light and easy to knock around that I came back and ordered two more pairs to keep in other rooms of the house. Sleeper hit!

Looks great...

But way too quiet. I turn the volume up all the way and can still barely hear anything. I know they're on ear headphones but a bit more amplification would be great. I did get them for the look and at a great discount which is why I give 4 instead of 3.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love it! Bought 2nd pair. But there are caveats...

I've bought and returned a *lot* of bluetooth earbuds/headphones in the last year or two trying to find something I actually *like*, and long story short, I actually bought a *second* pair of these. They're the bluetooth I always reach for first (even though I also have $60 airpod-style ear buds as well) unless I need the noise-cancelling microphone for keeping background sounds out of phone calls.
Having said that, there are pros and cons:
PROS
• Really good sound (and good bass), especially for the price. (Better than my old wired Apple EarPods.)
• I *really* like the built-in three-option equalizer. I'm not an audiophile and screwing around with the EQ on my media player app was always frustrating, so the fact that these headphones have three pre-set options and I can just flip between them and choose the best one for the moment is such a relief. They're all very distinct from each other, and I've yet to find a song that didn't sound great on one of the three.
• More comfortable and convenient than earbuds. Yes, they don't fit in your pocket, but they go great around your neck and are small enough to fit easily in a backpack/purse/computer bag/camera bag.
• Great battery life, quick-charging, and when you turn them on, the first thing they do is tell you the battery level

CONS
• Microphone is weak — about half the volume of my handset mic, and picks up a lot of ambient sound — but it's *adequate* for indoor use.
• Sometimes fails to play nice with volume controls in MacOS and always fails to work correctly with meeting software (Zoom, GTM, Skype).
• Placement of USB makes it genuinely difficult to plug in for charging
• Single-button controller means there's a lot you *can't* do:
• No volume controls (but it's not that big a hassle to reach in my pocket to change the volume)
• No FFW/RWD, only skip forward (this one *is* a hassle — I frequently need to skip back 15 seconds in a podcast)
• And the worst of the single-button problems: You can't power them off without also skipping to the next track in the process.

But as I said, despite all that they're my go-to headphones.

I’m very happy with my Rewind Bluetooth Headphones. I used the Burn-In Tool in the JLab app and the headphones sound great. They are so light and comfortable, too. A really solid product.

Great open back headphones

These work great, especially when paired to both a smartphone and smart tv simultaneously! When I hand off video from the cell phone to the tv, the headphones play from the right device effortlessly, the same can’t be said with other brands that support multipoint which typically make you manually reconnect with the second device! These connect to both automatically!!
I would recommend this to a friend!
