Those cool looks are all that really set these headphones apart from the vanilla $169UA True Wireless Flashheadphones. Well, that and an “exclusive Rock-tuned sound curve for even louder, bolder sound with rich bass to crush your workout,” per the productpage.
But if you really want to channel your inner World Heavyweight Champion of the ring and the silver screen (and clothing lines, and tequila distilleries…), you can surely wait for Rock-approved headphones to get restocked.
In the meantime, dream of 5 hour battery life with an extra 20 hours in that logo-stamped gold carrying case, as well as JBL’s Ambient Aware tech to hear your surroundings while pumping the tunes and intelligent Talk Thru system to smartly dip music volume so you can chat through your workouts.
