at least when it comes to the feeling in your hands. From afar, you can’t really judge it because they look like they might’ve cost more.

With the buttons, you control volume, play/pause, song selection, voice assistant, and calls (accept/reject). One of the reasons why we probably got a better result is because we listened to them at a normal volume. The headphones are loud and you can listen at a moderate volume at 30%. Putting the slider at half sends a lot of sound over your way. It’s almost too loud. You always know how much battery you have left, thanks to the battery indicator on your iPhone or Android phone. Yes, you can do that. A smartphone and tablet, or 2 phones. Pause on one device, and you can play on the other. These aren’t audiophile headphones and come with a strong emphasis on bass. You can hear it immediately hence the name “JBL Pure Bass.”

They also work without problems over 1 wall. When you get 2 walls between the headphones and your music device, then you get distortion, but not complete shutdown. Even so, the lightweight headphones stay comfortable for a long time, especially once the pads warm up and soften. The clamping force is quite strong as well. It makes them suitable for the gym or basic activity. They don’t really move around the head. But they do get hot, and you will sweat after a while. Even though the Tune 500BT come with an older Bluetooth version 4.1, they provide above-average wireless connectivity with longer range and stability. LED light always shines blue when turned on (you can’t disable it).There’s also the Multipoint feature discussed in the Bluetooth section. Basically, you can connect 2 devices at the same time and use either seamlessly. Plus, you can crank them up quite loud, to dangerous levels actually ( don’t listen for too long at high volume). If you listen at half volume in a quiet room, you’ll still leak some noise, and others will know what songs you’re listening to. If that doesn’t work, like in our case (PC and Android phone), then you can seamlessly switch between the 2 devices. Press and hold the plus and middle button for 2 seconds to hear sound prompt. Then simply continue on the other device. Is Video Delay a Problem?
