Good across the board
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy set up, great sound, comfortable, and good price (I got it on sale). These were my first over ear headphones and I was so shocked by the comfort and sound. I would highly recommend- especially if you wanna make sure you like over ear!

Awesome !!!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The 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.

Great sound quality with decent comfort
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these headphones like three years ago, somehow decide to doing this review today sound quality for these headphones are great. You can wear those for an hour or so, but not for longer specially, if you have bigger ears another problem is they are automatically disconnected sometimes and you have to reconnect them overall good purchase for the price

Great wireless over-the-ear headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently purchased a JBL Live 500BT wireless bluetooth headphones at Best Buy store during the Black Friday week at half price for only $75. I am very please with it since it does has the extra features I need as ambient and talk-thru and the battery power is very good for about 33 hours before charge it. Several times my wife and/or friends said something to me so I just pushed the Talk-Thru button on it and I could hear them clearly without taking the headphone off. The high quality sound, and bass are really clear and very good. I believe that I got a very good deal and really love it. I think it is a lot more comfortable than couple other brands I tried and it seems to be better made quality-wise. I would purchase it again and would recommend it to my family, friends, and co-workers to consider and give it a try.

JBL headphones
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I did a lot of research before purchasing these headphones and tested the sound of many different brands including Beats. These were my favorite in terms of quality and price. They sounded better than the Beats and were cheaper

Worth your money, if on a good deal
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been looking for some wireless over the ear headphones and just could not afford to spend more than $100 bucks on a pair that would last me a while. I saw these on a deal for $80 here on Best Buy from $150. After some research and lots of reviews read I decided to get them and I am so happy with them. The quality is exceptional. They are super comfortable, I have a big head so it's hard to wear headphones for an extended period of time but I was able to wear these for a couple of hours no problem. Sound quality is great no problems there. These do not noise cancel but they, in all honesty, do a pretty great job at noise cancelling. The only downside to them is that I wish that for such an expensive headset they don't bring a case or bag to put them in so that's not fun to have to buy your own. One thing that is not advertised as well as it should be is that they are Google and Alexa compatible and it works like a wonder. The left side is touch so you can ask google questions without having to take your phone out. It will also read your notifications to you. It's a feature that's just awesome to have. These headphones also come with features like TalkThry and Ambient Aware that help you at a click of one button to hear your surroundings and also be able to have a conversation with someone without having to move or take off your headphones. The only reason why it's 4 stars is that they don't bring a case or bag for transport.

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

Q: QuestionWould 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.
Asked by KM.
- A:Answer 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: QuestionI don’t have usb charging capability, need to charge by regular wall plug, does this come with wall charger also?
Asked by Nancy.
- A:Answer 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.
