JBL TUNE 500BT - On-Ear Wireless Bluetooth Headphone - Black

Product Information

With the buttons, you control volume, play/pause, song selection, voice assistant, and calls (accept/reject). Yes, you can do that. A smartphone and tablet, or 2 phones. Pause on one device, and you can play on the other. The bass emphasized sound quality is typical for JBL headphones. It’s clearly geared towards a general audience that isn’t too demanding about sonic fidelity and just wants stronger lows. Build quality is where these show their low price. The materials are cheap and somewhat creaky, but look better than you’d think.

Connecting is easy. Press and hold the middle button, and the headphones go into connecting mode. After that, they pair automatically to the last known device. Can You Connect to 2 Devices at the Same Time (Multipoint)? These are cheap on-ear headphones, and they feel like it. The plastics is a grade lower compared to more expensive headphones…One of the reasons why we probably got a better result is because we listened to them at a normal volume. The headphones are loud and you can listen at a moderate volume at 30%. Putting the slider at half sends a lot of sound over your way. It’s almost too loud. If you listen at half volume in a quiet room, you’ll still leak some noise, and others will know what songs you’re listening to. You always know how much battery you have left, thanks to the battery indicator on your iPhone or Android phone. These aren’t audiophile headphones and come with a strong emphasis on bass. You can hear it immediately hence the name “JBL Pure Bass.”

JBL Tune 500BT Wireless Headphones, Black B - CeX (UK)

Very comfortable to wear. The lightweight on-ear headphones have a strong clamping force but cheap earpads. The Bluetooth features show signs of age, they charge with Micro-USB instead of today’s standard USB-C. The battery life of over 18 hours is great but not among the longest in the category. There’s also the Multipoint feature discussed in the Bluetooth section. Basically, you can connect 2 devices at the same time and use either seamlessly.Even though the Tune 500BT come with an older Bluetooth version 4.1, they provide above-average wireless connectivity with longer range and stability. LED light always shines blue when turned on (you can’t disable it). It overshadows mids and highs to a considerable degree, but if you like bass, you’ll love the sound of these too. The average range of Bluetooth is around 33ft (10m), but these stay connected even a bit further away. They also work without problems over 1 wall. When you get 2 walls between the headphones and your music device, then you get distortion, but not complete shutdown. These are great for casual listening during your commute, and using them with your smartphone for phone calls and YouTube binging.
