Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the sound quality, comfort, battery life, price, and wireless connectivity of the LIVE 500BT Wireless Over-The-Ear Headphones. They appreciate the fantastic sound, comfortable fit, long battery life, and affordable price. However, some customers have concerns about the volume, portability, app, and ear pain. They find the volume to be low when connected to a TV via Bluetooth, the headphones to be bulky for daily use, the app to be unnecessary, and the headphones to cause ear pain during long-term use.

    I bought these on Black Friday for my trip home from California (I wanted green but only black was in-stock and on sale). They charge super quick and even after perusing the directions, it was really easy to figure out how to use them. The Ambient Aware technology is really surreal, like, it was weird to be able to hear my own music and my surroundings and although I haven't had much use for it yet, I know it'll be helpful walking around the city. Additionally, using it to answer phones is seamless. It's great quality for an excellent price.

    These headphones have great sound, but the buttons on the side are hard to find and adjust (sound, etc.). I often push the wrong button and it breaks the pairing. It seems that the buttons should be on different ears - right side for volume and left for everything else. The board can be the same place, just have a few more wires go through the headband. It is also a bit tight on the head. But otherwise a nice set of headphones.

    I received a bad set of headphones but found them to be good overall. Pros: Good sound quality, comfortable, easy to pair and use. Cons, Ear padding is hard on bigger ears, did not pair consistently in Windows 10 environment. These happened to break quickly and this means they came defected as I did not travel or use extensively. This brand does not usually have these issues so I am thinking this was a fluke. Ended up getting Sony's.

    I was impressed with the sound when I first tried the headphones. They are very comfortable to wear, even in bed. It’s easy to forget they are even on my head . It was also very easy connecting to other wireless devices. My only complaint is that the user manual was not user friendly and a little difficult to read. Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase and recommend it to others.

    Excellent headphones. I use for listening to T.V. at night when my spouse is asleep and I'm up and still watching television. Pairs easily with my LG television via Blue Tooth and provides great stereo sound. I've also used to connect to my tablet when flying using the included wired connection. Charging is fast. Price was within my range and I'm very happy with the JBL Headphones.
