Usb-c charging (new model) and still very comfortable!
I absolutely love these headsets! I have both the earlier JLab Rewind Retro and this newer version JLab Rewind 2 Retro. The difference I can tell between the older and newer is that the newer has Usb-C charging port and the old has the micro usb-B. I much prefer the newer version because the USB-c port has no direction of the charger and it easy to plug in. The older version was more difficult to make sure you had the direction right and the space felt tighter. Besides that aspect, both of the headsets are so comfortable. I cannot do most headphones because they are heavy and either hurt the top of my head from their weight, or they are too tight or too big and feel like they are hot on my ears. These ones are super lightweight and very gently on the top of my head and ears. They also fit my head and I would say my head is maybe on the smaller size in general. They are both bluetooth which i was really impressed with! Old school style with new tech and no cords! It comes with orange foam pieces or black foam pieces. I changed my set at work to black foam and the ones I have at home are orange foam. I would say they are probably not the fancy noise canceling ones with extra deep bass… but for what I need, listening to music, still needing to keep my ears open for when a coworker is calling my name, and talking to be heard (I forgot to mention it has a mic too!) it works fine. Great for zoom work calls, great for phone calls, people hear me fine. They look like the old Walkman headphones but they are much more sturdy, the metal piece is thicker and the earbud area is on a stronger tilt mechanism. I find that the clarity of the speakers is fine although maybe a little quiet compared to other higher end headphones I have.

LOVE THEM ALL OVER-except the button
Definitely better than most 40$ headphones I’ve usedOfc your paying for what you paid for so material isn’t to sturdiest but if taken care of like anything else it’s perfectly okay especially for the price. Love the mix of modern and retro design. Gotta have volume cranked to max to hear some detail in songs but in silent areas the sounds are lovely. They can adjust to head size.The only thing I can truely complain about is the button on the headphones that you use the pause, play, power, etc - sits kinda loose on the headphones so you’ll occasionally hear rattling or ticking when you bob your head or generally move relatively quick.But hey.. 20 buck is 20 bucks

Excellent lightweight/compact Bluetooth headphones with limited controls
Overall, I am very happy with my purchase. I was looking for an inexpensive, lightweight, compact alternative to the in-ear style devices, which bother my ears. This fit the bill nicely and seems to be about the only product out there.First, the good...Price: Bluetooth headphones for under $20? Its hard to beat the price.Comfort: These are nice lightweight headphones that stay put and are fairly comfortable.Style: I like the clean retro look. Nothing fancy, just a basic set of headphones.Ease-of-Use: The limited controls are intuitive and easy to remember.Battery Life: I was surprised at the 12+ hour batter life. This is more than adequate for my needs.Next, the bad...Difficult to access the charging port and status LEDs which are hidden under the ear cushion.No volume control.Overall volume is not quite loud enough.Connector is micro-USB instead of more modern USB C.No noise cancellation.The ear cushions are a bit difficult to put on and come off a bit too easily (when stored in the pocket of my cargo pants).The ear cushions can get a bit warm on a hot summer day...though, not too bad.And, the not so sure...I don't really use these for phone calls or voice assist. Its nice to know that its supported, but I can't review these features.The pressure on the ears can be a bit hard. Though, without that pressure, the headphone would likely move around when I am active...so this is probably a good thing?Room for improvement...As shown above, there is room for improvement. I really hope these are selling well for JLab. I hope they will consider releasing a second model, perhaps at a slightly (hopefully not too much) higher price point.That said, before requesting the changes, I'll request that one thing remain the same. Please keep the same form factor. The few other retro headphones I can find are too big by comparison.My biggest grip is that the charging port and status indicators are hidden underneath the ear cushions. This makes it difficult to charge the unit or check status. Please move these to the bottom of the cup. And, while you're at it changing over to the more modern USB C connector would be a bonus.Adding a volume control would be a HUGE bonus. Perhaps, to keep the clean aesthetic, consider changing the single control button (on the right ear) to a rocker switch with a central button. Pressing in the center would activate both underlying switches (top and bottom) simultaneously, and behave the same as the current control. Pressing on the top of the rocker would only activate the top switch and would raise the volume. Pressing on the bottom would only activate the bottom switch and would lower the volume. With this scheme, the appearance could remain identical.Boost the overall volume of the headphones. While its OK now, it could be a little bit better.Add noise cancellation. Honestly, I don't care that much about this feature. I mostly use it while walking and like to be aware of my surroundings. That said, it would be nice for the brief periods I am riding on the train to cancel the noise. And, if the cancellation were decent enough, I might even be able to use them for short flights. Adding a tiny button on the bottom of the cup would be adequate to activate/deactivate the noise cancellation.Improve the "staying power" of the ear cushions.Maybe consider updating from Bluetooth 4.2 to something more recent.If even half of these suggested improvements occur, I'll be first in line to buy the newer version.

No Complaints!
Do they sound like Sennheisers? no. But you’d be silly not to buy a pair. Any place you need a lightweight, nearly disposable set of bluetooth phones these will do great- outdoor exercise in particular, plus with these you can actually hear when there’s cars and dogs coming at you (i find that’s a plus). comes with an extra pair of foam pads. download the app and follow the eq diagram in the photo (which someone had kindly posted in an online forum) and you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
