JBL has always been a purveyor of fine audio, which makes total sense considering its parent company is Harmon Kardon. A few years back, I reviewed some Reference 220 earbud headphones, which were affordable and sounded great on the iPod. This time around, JBL has teamed up with Quiksilver’s surfin’ sister company Roxy on a line of headphones that are catered towards young women. Do they stand the test of time? Perhaps.
Quiksilver is known for producing quality surf-related products and fashions. The latest watch to come from the California-based company features retro-styling that pays tribute to the looks of the 1970s. The Ray features real ebony wood and a beautiful face that resembles a Ford Mustang’s odometer. No battery is required thanks to 27 jewel automatic movement. I don’t know what that means but I assume it’s some Aladdin-type shit where you wish for riches and 27 jewels drop out of your watch.
Stylish surf attire doesn’t come cheap, though. Only 1000 Rays will be made and they’ll be sold for a rather expensive $495. Luxury, brah!
