JLab has dropped what can only be described as giant speakers that doubles as an oversized Bluetooth headset. The Blue XL headphones are more like miniature speakers than actual earpieces, making them an odd choice for anyone with a relatively normal-sized head.
The designers of these absurdly large cans seem to have forgotten that people aren't mythical giants, and the result is something that resembles a comical costume piece rather than a serious piece of audio equipment. The idea behind the Blue XL headphones seems to be that you can drape them around your neck or prop them up on a table, allowing you to blast music for everyone within earshot.
Internally, the headphones boast 30W of power and two large drivers, making them more suitable for blasting tunes in a park than enjoying private listening. The battery life is also fairly standard for this type of product, with JLab claiming that users can expect around 20 hours of playback time on a single charge.
While the Blue XL headphones may be an impractical choice for everyday use, they could still serve as a novelty item or gag gift. And considering their price tag of $99, it's hard not to laugh at the absurdity of it all. The fact that JLab initially announced these headphones as being worth a whopping $120,000 has also added to the hilarity, leaving everyone wondering if they were ever serious about this product in the first place.

I gotta say, these giant speaker-headphones are just too extra! Like, who thought it was a good idea to design something that's more suited for a rave party than actual listening? And $120k?! 
Oh man, that's like buying a private island or something. But seriously, the idea of being able to blast music around the block is kinda cool, but I can see how they'd be super impractical for everyday use.
and having a speaker on top. Not comfy at all! And $99 is still pretty steep for something that's more of a novelty item than actual tech. But hey, if JLab wants to make people laugh with these bad boys, I'm happy to be in on the joke 
.
. And $120k? 
. I can see these being a funny gag gift, though - someone might get 'em and just wear 'em around as a joke 
I mean who comes up with stuff like giant speakers on top of your head?! it's just so... impractical 
and i can see them being a great novelty item or gag gift for friends who love to have a laugh 
.
. All jokes aside, I think JLab might have pulled off something kinda cool here, even if it's not exactly practical.
And 30W of power isn't that much, more people should be able to enjoy some good tunes! The fact that they're a novelty item at $99 is the best part, I'd totally buy one just for the laugh
