JBL Tune 500BT Wireless On-Ear Headphones

These headphones did not disappoint me Im highly satisfied. The sound is crisp has surround sound quality, I love that I can switch to phone calls. I charged it once and it's still running after that first charge, it's been weeks. They wear comfortably even during my workout. My son is begging for a set so I will be purchasing again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice headphones with very good sound. Excellent build quality with nice comfy pads. The sound isolation is very good, I guess because the earpads are very tight. Ambient Aware and TalkThru features are the best features which make these a perfect headphone. The headphones are very comfy even after having them on for long hours. The battery is as advertised. You can get close to 30 hours of playtime upon full charge. Nice quick charging feature which gives 2 hours of playtime with 15 minutes of charge. I am a big fan of JBL technological advancements, Google Assistant is one such advancement to this headphones. I had problems using headphones for answering call with my other headphones, but not on this. Active mode works excellent for calls. Nice sound and voice clarity. Cons: It has decent amount of bass, but feel it can better. The buttons placement can be better. You have to get accustomed to buttons usage, not easy for the first go around.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just recently received these JBL LIVE500BT headphones and am completely amazed on how well they perform. The voice assistant is crystal clear and very simple to use, easy pairing and the music sound quality is out of this world. I have always been a JBL fan because of the technology, efforts and development they put in to their products. Keep up the awesome work. Your the best.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been a fan of JBL for a long time and the JBL Live500BT did not let me down. Blue tooth connects quickly. Buttons on headphones easy to access. Love the pass thru button which turns down the music without having to take off headphone or pause music to answer some. Quality is qreat and comfort is superb. Took on trip battery life is crazy long I went 25 hours of play time before charging WOW!!!

I bought this over 4 months ago and still the quality of the sound is amazing

The bass on these is certainly present. It's not the case for every genre of music but it's certainly there and when it's in a track it hits. I used these to listen to hip hop and the first part of the music blew me away with the amount of bass. Had to turn the volume down on the headphones as personally it overwhelmed the music but as mentioned it's not the case with every track. Overall a pair of decent sounding headphones.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Good: Look & Feel - I generally like how the 500BT looks. The fabric around the band looks sleek and I don't feel any discomfort when keeping them on my head for a while. The ear muffs are nice and soft; don't heat up my ears when I have the headphones on for more than 30 minutes; and they do a good job at isolating most environmental sounds considering they aren't noise cancelling. Sound (Bluetooth) - The 500BT sound good. The vocals are clear, but there is almost no bass when the bass mode is off through the JBL Headphones app, so I would recommend keeping them on and adding some bass through equalizers. The overall quality is still good and I would use these as my daily driver. Features & Hardware - Bluetooth is easy to connect and quick, too. I love the Google Assisstant integration and the fact that you can touch the cap on the left to activate it. It's quite useful when needed. I also appreciate Ambient Sound and TalkThru as well. Both are equally as usefull when I turn them on and do a decent job at drawing sound form the surrounding area, but could be clearer at times - it's not consistent. Being able to fold the headphones are a nice finish to the build. The Bad: Build Quality - I like the matte finish, but the plastic build makes it look cheaper than it should be. The 500BT I got always made cranking sounds whenever I rested the headphones on my neck (Mostly behind the muffs) so it was quite irritating. I don't understand why USB Type-A is still being used to charge the headphones. It's 2019, please update the next ones to Type-C. Features - Yeah being able to touch the surface of the left ear muff to activate the assistant is nice, but I often tapped that area by accident on more than one occasion, meaning that I could always hear my Google Assistant talking by itself when I don't want it to. It's quite annoying and I wish it would only work when the headphones are on my head or that they were less sensitive. Buttons - I don't like how all the buttons are on one side. I often forget which buttons are which and it takes time to learn. Even after a week of usage, I still struggle. The ambient button and bluetooth button should be placed on a different side. These headphones needa pouch since they cost a bit.

Great headphone for its price. Good bass and very comfortable to wear

Its been a month since I purchased these headphones. Firstly, I am an audiophile. So my priority in any headphones is the sound quality. The sound quality these headphones provide are that of a 3000rs studio monitors which are ridiculous. I expected a lot more for this price. Secondly, the comfort. They are soo small and tight, when in some youtube video the guy pointed this out, I ignored. But man he is so right. They wont fit an average ear and so tight that you cannot bear them for more than an hour. Thirdly, the durability. The leather cups or whatever material they used for the ear cups started to ware off and its just a month. At this point, Im like is there anything good with this product? Which is when I started to type this review. I hope if you are okay wasting your money go ahead. Cuz trust me you're gonna go with another pair if you were an audiophile like me. And the look. The worst. I used to have motorola headphones bluetooth one a decade ago. I cant remember the model name. They are 2100 and they looked wayyyyy better than these. The connectivity. Had this issue since the third day. The bluetooth used to get disconnected suddenly during calls. And sometimes when listening to music. So beware if you are socially awkward like me and have a fear of the sound bursting out of your speaker in a silent environment.

I've only used it for 3 months, and it already has defects.
