Pros
ConsThe details
The JBL’s TUNE 500BT is one of the best wireless Bluetooth headphones that you can buy. It seamlessly offers a high-quality sound stage without the mess of cords. You can make hands-free calls, listen to audiobooks, or dance to the beat of any song for 16 whole hours! Get these sleek and lightweight headphones and dunk into a world of your making.
Sound quality
The sound quality is above average. It does produce prominent bass and treble. Although, we think it is a bit more ‘bassy’ than many average headphones which is good since you will be able to enjoy upbeat music on this more. They do cancel noise but it doesn’t completely offer you an isolated sound stage. Overall, whether you are listening to a podcast, watching a YouTube video, or listen to Spotify, this unit offers an enjoyable experience that we think everyone will enjoy.
Durability
The headphones are made from pretty decent materials. The ear cushions are made from PU leather, soft and comfortable to wear, even for longer hours. Though the plastic construction does not give a premium look, it is strong and can survive a few accidental impacts.
Comfort
The unit is comfortable enough that you can wear it for as long as you want. The earcups fit snuggly over the ears and the headband does not cause additional stress to your skull. It remains firmly over your head even if you are running. Although, a few users did complain that the headband lost its firmness after a while and it would fall while they were working out or doing different chores.
Value
This unit is packed with all the right features. One of the most impressive one being the Bluetooth connection. Although, the fascinating aspect is its stable connection. It remains even throughout the use. Moreover, the unit has a foldable design which means it can be packed into a small convenient shape that can be stored in your bag or purse easily. Lastly, you get 16 hours of uninterrupted playback time which is more than enough even if you are leaving your place for an entire weekend. The charging speed is super-fast; you can get one hour of playback if you charge it for only 5 minutes!
Final verdict
We liked almost everything about the headphones except the headband. The headphones have a sturdy construction, apt Bluetooth connectivity, foldable design, and immersive audio experience which is astonishing given its price point. Nevertheless, we wish the headband had a better grip and didn’t become loose after a few months of use.
