20-hour battery life with 6-hour quick charge in 15 minutes.
Celebrating their 100th anniversary, Philips has just announced The Ringo wireless headphones, and it's like a love letter to the '80s. The design throws us back to the days of Walkmans and on-ear cans strolling down Venice Beach, yet packed with today's tech.
Key Features:
Battery life is respectable, and the quick charge feature is super handy for those on-the-go moments. The retro aesthetic is a breath of fresh air in a market saturated with over-ear options, finally giving us on-ear enthusiasts something to get excited about.
Philips hasn't spilled the beans on pricing yet, but given the blend of vintage style and modern features, The Ringo could be a solid pick for those of us craving both nostalgia and functionality.
