JBL LIVE 500BT Over-the-Ear Headphones - Black - JBLLIVE500BTBLKAM (Renewed)

I'm picky about my music and how it sounds. I've had countless hours in studios in front of professional monitors and using top quality headphones. I've had my Sony 7506's for 20+ years, and everything else just seems to fall short of how those headphones reproduce sound. These JBL's are almost to that standard, though.Bluetooth will never sound as good as corded, but these actually have a 1/8" input as well, which is a great option.These fit pretty well, and are comfortable to wear for extended time. The padding on the cups is a bit firm, but maybe will get better with time. A softer foam material would be better, and would allow a better seal on the ears.My only major gripe with these, is the size of the control buttons. The buttons for ambient aware and talk thru are okay. But, the volume up, down, and pause controls are tough to access. I have to fumble with them too much, for something that could be much simpler.Definitely a good headset for the money. Has a lot of great options and features, comfortable, and great sound for this price range.

I bought these for my 10 year old daughter. She was in need of a comfortable pair of headsets for e-learning since she's wearing a headset all day long. Her last set were some cheap $20 headsets. I didn't want to spend a fortune and I saw these refurbished headsets for half the price of new ones, so I gave it a shot. I'm very pleased. The head set came in the original packaging and everything. They looked and performed like new. More importantly, my daughter thinks they're comfortable. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase. I have a decent pair Sony headsets, and these sounded better than those. Battery life has not been an issue at all. She uses them all day long and sometimes she forgets to charge them and it hasn't been an issue at all.

I only had these for a bit before I exchanged them for Live660NC's, but I can clarify a few things.The sound quality is great, but noticably quieter than the Live660NC and Tune710BT.It has the HEADPHONE APP SUPPORT -- so you can tune the bass to just your liking.The controls are pretty good, I never found myself accidentally skipping songs or activating the voice assistant.You get bluetooth 4.2 on these things, so it'll use more battery life (that is why it's rated as 30 hours instead of 50)But that also means it will drain your phone slightly faster (than a BT 5.0+ device) too.Anyway, they don't even make these anymore since their new Live headphones are just generally better and more up to date with their feature sets for an arguably reasonable price, should you find them on sale.Mine was refurb and had a loose swivel on the headphones. That's why I exchanged.Guess that's what I get for trying to be cheap.

Like sound quality, dislike making it in China. Own several JBL speakers from the past not made in China, come on JBL, and others, stop making stuff in China. That said these are great sound quality, very good bass, well made, I bought remanufactured pair and got great price! Can't be beat for the price on renewed. Easy to use for all basic music, sound from my android Samsung phone. Connects bluetooth easy, fast, reliable. I don't use them for calls so these are awesome for me. The sound quality despite made in China, lives up to JBL reputation, it's outstanding.

Over the ear headphones are comfortable, the 50mm speakers sounds excellent, but there is a echo from the TV transmitting and the JBL bluetooth headphone receiving, because of this echo I do not recommend these headphones.On my 2nd set of these JBL I received, the feedback echo is better, but there is no quality control because on the 2nd set there is no detent for the ear pieces. As soon as I pick up the headphones, the ear pieace drops so every time I put them on, I have to adjust the ear setting. No quality control on these china made JBL headphones.

Prime Day came early. Never purchased a renewed/refurbished product before but after reading reviews on these, I decided to go for it.You can customize the sound from your phone, sync them up to a variety of devices in your house, and they're very quick to charge with a longer battery life than what it promotes. Whether it's the voice within a podcast or the bounce of a step within your music, these headphones are an EXPERIENCE to say the least.

Bought these for my son for Christmas. He absolutely lives them! He is a music performance major, working on his masters degree, and he has had nothing but great things to say about them. He paired them to his phone for a series of trips made over Christmas break, and said that he spent around 36 hours on the road. And never had to recharge them until he made it home! He uses them for critical listening for classes, and enjoys the dynamic range, and accuracy of the sound. Good bass extension, without being boomy.

So far, these are the best headphones i’ve purchased for the price they were offered. They sound amazing, i work out with them snd they feel very comfortable, a bit loose sometimes but then again, I move a lot when i work out. The noise cancelling feature works perfectly. I’m very happy with the product.
