A true workhorse pair of headphones. Have had them for 5+ years, and they are worn almost daily on my walk to and from work. Have never had a connection or battery issue, and the sound is great enough for me (I am no audiophile). If I had a complaint, it would be when powering them off it skips to the end of the track which can be a pain when listening to stories rather than music, which again is an infrequent issue for me personally. Was hoping to find some replacement foam covers for the ear pieces, as mine are hanging on by a thread, but didn't see any for sale by themselves.
I barely received which the sounds is perfect it’s comfortable while wearing almost/most of the day but the only problem is it’s not wanting to charge it will only charge if I have it in a certain position but that’s about it :(

So sorry to hear of the poor battery life : ( We'll get those replaced for you under our fast, free two year warranty. Instructions have been sent your way. We'll have you back up and running in no time : )
After wearing these headphones for several months, I've found that they fit my needs well. They are slim and lightweight, making it easy to wear them around my neck during the day when not listening to music, or wear them under a helmet when biking to work.
The reason they are not excellent comes down to a few basic reasons: The build quality is good, but the control button arrived loose and needed to be shimmed to stop rattling. The controls are not very intuitive, and -- to my knowledge -- cannot be changed. The charging port is an older type, which may require a dedicated cord. The charging port is difficult to reach, the provided plug must be sanded thinner by the user in order to fit into the small gap. There isn't enough flex in the earpieces themselves, as they only tilt in one axis, making them difficult to wear.
This is my third pair of the rewind retro headphones since 2020. I love the look and cannot say enough great things about them. They only have one flaw. After about a year, they will stop charging. They will get plugged in as normal and the red light to show charging doesnt light up and the headphones completely stop charging. I just purchased my third pair and they didn't charge to begin with. If this issue could be fixed, they would be absolute perfection!
Second pair I received were fine. First pair came with a defect, thankfully the customer support was great and got me a replacement. The headphones are great. The looks, the aesthetic, sound quality is just great, only downside is the microphone. For some reason it comes with a build-in microphone. The microphone quality is terrible. But I don't use it anyway.
