Sound quality
Product 1: Gadhouse Wesley Retro Headphones
3.9

Overall sound lands in the decent-but-not-audiophile camp: fine for casual listening and clear vocals, but not consistently refined or competitive with stronger sound-focused rivals.

Wear detection performance
Product 1: Gadhouse Wesley Retro Headphones
No score yet
Product 2: JBL Tour One M3 Headphones
4.0

Weight comfort
Product 1: Gadhouse Wesley Retro Headphones
