In my never-ending quest for a pair of workout and walking headphones, I came across the JLab Rewind headphones. I remember saying at some point, “If they ever make the headphones I had back in the day with Bluetooth, I’m all over it.” Well, here they were. So though I was a bit reluctant, I bought a pair.
The headphones pretty much met my expectations. I didn’t have any high hopes going in, and they were exactly what I thought they would be. The sound is what it is. There is no powerful bass, it is not exceptional, but it is okay and functional. Similar to the old school headphones we had as kids, they were not remarkable then, and you cannot expect them to be remarkable now.
Here is the thing though, they do not hurt my head, they stay on my head, and they pump out tunes just good enough to be acceptable for my needs. I had bought them as a placeholder until I sorted out my headphone choice, but I have actually been using them for months now.
The controls are very minimal and the battery life is not that great, but for what I need, they work just fine. They are small and fit right in my jacket pocket, light, free from wires, and sound okay. What else does one need in a pair of everyday headphones.
Update: After using them some more and listening more closely, I have to admit that the sound is better than I initially stated. These are actually worth having a look at. They are not as good as the bigger ones I tried, but I am actually feeling them now.
