"JLab, a brand best known for its budget-friendly but well-featured wireless earbuds, has announced a new pair of headphones that are far less discreet. The oversized Blue XL Speaker Headphones look like an ill-timed April Fools' Day prank but are actually a pair of Bluetooth speakers cosplaying as wireless headphones. They're wearable, but for the sake of your eardrums you'll want to leave them hanging around your neck."
"The Blue XL are now available through JLab's online store for $99.99 in limited quantities and, as the name implies, blue is the only color option. Inside each earcup is a 2.5-inch driver paired with a similar-sized passive radiator to boost lower frequencies. You can prop them up on a table to use as a standalone speaker, but the earcups don't detach. Battery life is claimed to be up to 20 hours, while a full recharge takes about three hours."
JLab's Blue XL Speaker Headphones are oversized wearable Bluetooth speakers that prioritize spectacle over discretion. They are sold only in blue through JLab's online store for $99.99 in limited quantities. Each earcup contains a 2.5-inch driver paired with a similar-sized passive radiator to boost lower frequencies. The earcups remain attached but can be propped on a table to act as standalone speakers. Battery life is claimed at up to 20 hours with roughly a three-hour full recharge. The design emphasizes size rather than portability, contrasting with roll-up dual-mode headphone designs.
