I needed a new pair of over the ear headphones and I’m glad I purchased these JBL 500 bt’s. The battery life and bass are improvements over the e55bt models. The color selection was better than most competitors and reasonably priced. With added features like wireless phone calling and Alexa made this a smart purchase. There are some drawbacks that are minor inconveniences but not substantial enough to deter my enthusiasm for my headphones. These headphones wireless charge lasts days not hours. They charge at a moderate pace and easily sync with my mobile devices, iPhone and iPad, the Alexa voice assistant is a nice extra that is convenient and I wasn’t necessarily looking for but grateful it’s added. Coupled with my Amazon Music I listen for hours skipping songs without having to touch my devices. Calls are clear and I don’t have to raise my voice like I did with my earbuds. The bass and noise canceling work well, sometimes to well when people are trying to speak to me. They are comfortable to wear and have heft without being bulky or heavy. Even while being used wired the cord is lengthy enough as to avoid needless jerking. Superficially I like the green color and was looking to avoid austere colors like black or white. Some drawbacks are the instructions are cumbersome and the font size is light and microscopically tiny. It feels like I have to take the headphones off to utilize some of the functions( off/on switch volume and Bluetooth) it seems like they could have been placed better or on separate earphones. For the price these oversights are easily forgiven. If you’re looking for an upgrade on your wired or wireless headphones and need a cost effective model with nice extras these headphones are great. If your an audiophile you may need to look elsewhere.

I got these expecting a decent but not amazing headset from JBL, simply based off all the reviews. However I am floored by how much I like them. As other people have said they are for smaller heads, but that was a main motivator for me since I am smaller and every other headset I find that I like are far to big. These fit perfectly on my head and over my ears without slipping down or falling off, and I've been running with them. The battery life thus far has been awesome, im still working on my first charge. It connects easily to my devices with no issues. The sound quality has been amazing for me, yes its not very bassy like some people said but again for me personally I don't like a lot of bass so I have no complaints. Overall would buy again or recommended to people, JBL remains my go to brand for audio devices.

They're good but not excellent. You're not getting a "steal". These are worth exactly $100. Personally, I'm pretty happy with them at this price point, but I will probably be looking to upgrade to the Bose QuietComfort at some point in the future. Tip: you can disable the voice assist in the jbl headphones app. The battery life is actually surprisingly good. I can use them pretty hard for a couple days and still keep going. The best thing is that they are actually proper OVER-ears. I used a pair of on-ears once and I refuse to ever buy them. Too painful and not as good sound isolation. I do believe these are worth the extra money over various cheaper or chinese knock-offs. You're essentially paying for reliability (I've never had a single issue with these JBL's, or any of their products). I actually never use the ambient or talk thru modes. I was hoping they would be good, but they're just meh. My main gripes: 1) They get uncomfortable fast. The band doesn't really have any padding, so after about 1-2 hours they will start to hurt at top of head. (However, I am bald shaven, so that definitely makes it worse for me than most folks). 2) They aren't that loud. On airplanes, my prefered listening volume is at exactly 100%, so these work fine, but you can also tell that there's some audio quality loss once pushed past around 80%, so I wish they had more volume. (However, if you plug in the aux cable, the volume is almost twice as loud and higher quality when pushed, so it's largely a bluetooth thing.) EDIT: Prices have dropped and you can now get the LIVE 650 for $130 (they were $200 when I purchased my 500's, and I didn't want to spring that much), I would recommend going for the 650's. The active noise cancellation helps a lot with the volume, and the 650's have better padding.

Buon isolamento passivo e ascolto ambiente, ibassi vanno regolati con app. a piacere come si vuole.Non è troppo differente dalla 660 che ha l'anc.Essendo una over ear stanca poco se le indossi per un film intero.

Muy cómodos, insonorización perfecta, un poco más de volumen no estaría nada mal, otros modelos JBL inferiores suenan mucho más, pero la calidad es excepcional.
