Riwbox Bluetooth Headphones

I've only had these guys for about two weeks, but they're quickly becoming my go-to travel headphones. First off, they're pretty comfortable for an hour or two of travelling. I've been riding the train for about 3 hours round trip and they've been very reasonable for those distances. Riding a noisy Amtrak first thing in the morning isn't ideal, but thankful the noise isolation of these keep all that clickity-clack out of my ears so I can enjoy my music or podcasts in peace.
These use Bluetooth rev 4.1 so it's good for about 10-15 meters from whatever you're connected to. Thankfully, they also have a 3.5mm aux jack so even if they die, they're still useful! The call quality seems fine as I can hear people just fine and they seem to have no problems hearing me as well. Don't get me wrong, it's not 100% identical to being directly on the headset, but it's more than reasonable.

My only real hangup for these cans is the seemingly flat audio output. Let's revisit the fact that these are currently $40 and not listed as being for audiophiles, but I still wasn't impressed. They were OK at best. Don't get me wrong, they're not bad at all...they're just OK. The audio levels are good as they can get reasonably loud.

Overall, these are pretty good. They're not replacing my favorite cans any time soon, but they're perfectly fine for most use cases.

Rated: 4/5
