Quality4 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Noise cancellation, Price, Sound qualityThe product is amazing and I am satisfied with the purchase. Worth the price. Pros: - The sound quality is just amazing - Easy switching between multiple connected devices - Noise reduction is pretty fair. - Mic quality is awesome Cons: - The extender is pretty loose and drops off easily - I noticed that after a month of usage, the sound on the left ear speaker is less compared to the right. Overall, the product is good for both talking on phone and listening to music.

Easy to set up and great sound

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Battery life, Ease of use, Noise cancellationCons mentioned:For tv, Mobile phonesI needed an over the ear headphone to use with a Samsung Series 8 TV. Originally I purchased another brand RF headphone with a charging base. The base plugs into the audio out jack of the TV. Oops, my TV doesn't have an audio out that would work with that base. But it does have native support for a Bluetooth audio output. I exchanged my previous purchase for the JBL Live 500BT headphones. Pairing through the TV's setup was simple, and simply turning on the headphones while the TV is on initiates the connection. Sound quality is excellent through the headphones, and noise cancelling near total. I can't hear the phone ring, or the wife calling while I'm watching TV with these on! The charge lasts a long time. The specs say 33 hours of listening. I've probably gone over 20 hours before charging, but did not run the charge down in that time. I purchased these on sale, and my value rating is based on the sale price.

So glad that I bought these while on sale!

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Thought I'd try a different brand of headphone and saw these on sale and figured it would be a good time to see what the JBL's are like and I was blown away and couldn't believe that I'd gotten them for under a $100! Not only can I connect them to my phone at the same time, (phone calls take priority over everything else when connected.), but as soon as I'd charged them the first time and was on my deck listening to them a neighbor had said something to me and without taking the headphone's off, I'd pushed the Talk Thru button on them and could hear her clearly! Really believe that I got a good deal and really love them! Which are a lot more comfortable than the Sony WH-XB700's I have and seem to be better made quality-wise. Only complaint was the creaky right ear cup though I fixed that by spraying a little WD-40 between the earcup and the controls. Haven't creaked since.

Quiet Please

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5If you have been working from home like many people, these headphones are a must have. When I say that they block out the noise around me, they truly block out the noise around me. I am on the following platforms all day: Google Meet, Google Classroom, and Zoom. I need to be able to hear people and they need to be able to hear me without all the background noise and these headphones are my best investment. These are a MUST HAVE!

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I got these to replace me BOSE headphones which the material covering the part that sits around my ears was starting to fall off. I use them mainly with my TV while watching movies. I have a blue tooth transmitter connected to my TV. This way I can watch movies without disturbing my family, especially at night when they are in bed.

Good Over The Ear Headphones
|Posted .Owned for 1 year when reviewed.Features
Quality4 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5My daughter had to have these. She used them twice, so I started using them. These are pretty good headphones. I prefer over-the-ear headphones over earbud-style. These are not the top of the line ones, but they are good for slipping into your own little world when you need to enjoy your media and shut the world out as needed. I have found that any JBL headphones are decent at the very least, and these do not disappoint. Over a year old and still working great.

Exactly what I was looking for
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5It's hard these days to find decent bluetooth headphones that also can connect via 1/8" stereo cable. I edit video which means bluetooth headphones are out - too much lag, must have cable. But I also forget my AirPods all the time so I needed the option of bluetooth for when I want to eat lunch in the office break room and watch TV on my iPhone so that no one will talk to me. These do both jobs very well. Much better isolation that I was expecting, which is a really nice bonus. Bluetooth buttons are a bit fiddly. Otherwise these cans are lovely.

Excellent Headphone
|Posted .Owned for 3 months when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Originally my mother was in the market for new headphones, she requested my help. This checked every box she wanted from a pair of headphones. After trying out her pair Immediately headed back to the store got myself a pair. Battery, sound, comfort. All great and Bluetooth set-up was easy it was just a matter of turning this device on and turning on Bluetooth on the phone.

Awesome headset
|Posted .Features
Quality4 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5Bought them and didn’t expect much, but the headset blew my expectations away, the bass is punchy and incredible, they require a bit of tuning from the box but once you dial them down to your liking they are incredible. The app is very helpful with EQ settings.

Live 500bt
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5They're not noise cancelling. However they have a feature that works out great for a cubicle life. The ambient button. Setting one lowers the volume so you can have a conversation, also eliminates the echo you'd normally have in your head. The second setting puts the volume back but keeps a/the mic active so you can hear your surroundings. I couldn't find that feature on a c note set of cans. I like 'em so far. Sound is personal. They seem flattish to me, which is fine, there's a jbl app to adjust the curve if needed. Uses a normal / non proprietary 3.5mm cable for when that's needed, nice.

Instructions
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality4 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use2 out of 5The controls on the fight ear piece isn’t marked well enough to tell what the buttons do. Even after reading the instructions it isn’t intuitive or user friendly. For instance, I couldn’t figure out why they stopped working. Eventually I determined it needed charged. It would have helped if there was a button that visually showed when it’s time to charge.

Absolutely great for overall music listening.
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I listen to everything from heavy-metal to country. These work well with all types of music. And they’re great for talking to people on the phone. I’ve never had any complaints about people hearing me on the phone. They come with an equalizer app. The presets work fine for me. The ambient feature works well too. If someone walks in the room or there is a noise the music will fade automatically. You can turn that feature on or off. I usually leave it off. But it works well. The bass isn’t exaggerated like on some headphones. I don’t care if my phones are vibrating with the bass. They’re comfortable to wear. My ears don’t actually touch the inside of the earpiece. So they don’t get dirty. It’s also pretty easy to switch between Bluetooth devices. I listen to music on a tablet. I can switch to my phone easily if I want to make a call or receive a call. I’m sure there are better headphones with better specs, but this one will give them a run for their money. I’m very satisfied with my purchase.

Would purchase again...LOVE THEM!
|Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Bought these headphones at the beginning of October and the sound is great and the bass is not too distracting. If you're looking for heavy bass in a pair of headphones this may not be for you. Otherwise, I love the features and being able to talk to the headphones and ask the weather. It can hook up to Bixby or Alexa. It also has a setting if someone comes up to talk to you that you can click a button and have a conversation without ever taking the headphones off. They seem very durable I tend to fall asleep with them at night and they've not failed me.

Great with a caveat
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality4 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Decently comfortable, easy to connect. Initially I was only going to give them four stars because the sound was very treble heavy (think jazz music) but once you get the app and change the EQ setting it sounds better (a lot) That said, they aren't bass monsters so if that's what your looking for keep looking. Over all I'm happy with my decision.

Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I bought these headphones for exercising. I have tried other headphones that claimed long lasting batteries but they have fallen far short of their claims. These headphones have so far have met and exceeded my expectations.

4/5
|Posted .Features
Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5Comfortable. Loud. Durable. Great headphones that I got on sale so it was definitely a steal. Only giving 4 stars because they’re advertised as ‘OVER-EAR HEADPHONES’ but I wouldn’t say they are. Unless they’re over-ear for a 10 year olds head. AND NO I DONT HAVE BIG EARS
