Q: Will these JBL headphones pair with the new Sony Bravia Television wirelessly, or do they need to have a wire connection?

A: Hi Jeff, our JBL LIVE 500BT headphones features Bluetooth version 4.2 — as long as your Sony Bravia TV supports this version, you should be able to pair the headphones even wirelessly.

Q: Are these headphones noise cancelling?

A: No the 650BT ones are. That’s like a step up from these

Q: Would these be good for conference calls? I'm in meetings all day and I'm looking for a good pair of wireless headphones to wear during meetings from home.

A: I am using these over the ear headphones for a similar purpose. I find the quality of the sound to be excellent and the headphones, themselves, are good quality. The only downside for me is that after one hour or so, since I’m wearing behind the ear hearing aids as well, that they get a little uncomfortable. I take them off for a few minutes and am comfortable putting them back on after that brief rest period.

Q: is the headband adjustable?

A: Our JBL Live 500BT has an adjustable headband. You only need to pull each side to extend it.

Q: I don’t have usb charging capability, need to charge by regular wall plug, does this come with wall charger also?

A: Nancy, suggest purchasing a separate wall plug or using the wall plug from another device (such as your cell phone, which is what I do). There are also outlet plugs that include USB charging capability. My opinion: JBL could have been a little more helpful in their response to you, since they don't provide the wall plug with the product.

Q: Does the noise cancelling feature continue to work when the bluetooth is off and the headphones are wired to the source.

A: Sorry, but our JBL Live 500BT isn't a Noise Cancelling headphones. If you interested with these units, please check our line of available Noise Cancelling headphones here: https://www.jbl.com/noise-cancelling-headphones/

Q: Will these headphones fit a nine year old child?

A: Thanks for reaching out. Our JBL Live 500BT may be a little loose for children. You could check out our JBL JR 300BT and JR460NC for the best headphones for kids. You can check these products at our website. https://bit.ly/3HWfGyE
