When headphones on Amazon have ratings and reviews that average out to five stars, it’s pretty safe to assume that you’re dealing with a fantastic pair of headphones. In the case of the Aiwa Arc-1 Over-Ear Bluetooth Headphones, however, you don’t have to assume because we can happily confirm. We’ve tested these headphones and we were blown away by how impressive they sound. The 40mm biocellulose drivers, 24-bit DSP, and Bluetooth aptX support result in wonderful clarity and deep bass. They also cost $100-$200 less than you’d spend on comparable headphones from top brands like Bose, Bowers & Wilkins, Sony, Beats, and others.
