JBL Tune 520C Wired On-Ear Headphones - Black (JBLT520CBLK) is rated 4.4 out of 5 by 27.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from JBL Can Take A Bow! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After putting the JBL Tune 520C to practical use, I have nothing but glowing words regarding my review of this excellent product. The sound quality is superb with impressive lows for over the ear headphones. Highs are interpreted equally as well giving the overall sound a clarity superior to most devices of this type. Basic operations are both simple and straightforward. This reasonably priced entry into the headphone market was solidly built but light to wear and comfortable to use in all applications.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Amazing headphones for children [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Tun3e 520c headphones have a smooth clear aound. The volune is controlled and can't get overly loud as some head phones do. When wearing them as an adult, the headphones sut right on top of my ear and weren't as comfortable for me, but they fit my daughter perfectly. I struggle to repeatedly pair her bluetooth headphones with her tablet and depending on where we are, they wont connect at all. I plugged these in and we were good to go. She uses them in loud spaces and the headphones definitely keep the noise out. The Tune 520c's are perfect for her.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from JBL Tune 520C USB-C Headphones Review [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased the JBL Tune 520C headphones about six weeks ago after my previous wireless headphones started having connectivity issues. I mainly use them for online classes, streaming music, and video editing projects. They've been connected to my MacBook Pro, and occasionally my gaming laptop - the USB-C connectivity has been incredibly convenient across all devices. Since I spend a lot of time in libraries and coffee shops working on assignments, the portability factor was crucial. The compact folding design fits perfectly in my backpack's side pocket.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Decent sound and value for money. I bought these to use with my kindle fire hd8 as I found the bluetooth connection dropped out. I haven't used wired headphones in years and I've been pleasantly surprised with this product. The sound is crisp and clear. I've not figured out how to change the base (there is no app for these) but everything sounds good. These are basic but feel pretty sturdy and well made. I like that they fold down quite compactly. Sounds good with both my phone and tablet. Volune control and track skipper included which is good snd means I don't need to get out my device on public transport. I would say these are a decent headphone for everyday use for both music and watching films etc.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best headphones period!!! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love these headphones. They work with everything I own from my ps5 to my phone. My kids use it for the in car audio on my wife’s Yukon. They fit perfect over my ears and my kids ear. It’s great how it interchanges with all my devices. JBL has done an outstanding job with their products. 5 stars all day long.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Great…when they work. I Love these headphones so much…when they work. I had my first pair for 2 years and they stopped working. I didn’t think much, I just thought i got my fair amount of use out of them and since i loved them I bought another pair. In less than a year they stopped holding a charge. They would stay charged for 1 hour max. My mom bought a pair since I raced about them before i had issues with the 2nd pair. She never used them so when she heard I was having trouble with the 2nd pair she send me hers (brand new.) After a month of using the 3rd pair the sound in the Right earcup stopped working. Well sometimes it works. But it randomly will work and then not work. After 3 tries, I give up on JBL. It’s too bad, because when they work they are 5 star!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Blown away by the great sound quality [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] JBL Tune 520C, Once again I am blown away by another JBL product. The Tune 520C headphones have great sound and are so easy to use. JBL Tune 520C Headphones are boxed nicely with good package printing and product display. From first opening package these headphones are very good looking and so simple to use. The usb c plug is perfect for my iPhone. I was blown away with the sound clarity while watching a video. Voices are clear and easy to hear. Music sounds like your there when it’s being recorded. I definetly recommend for anyone on the go, traveling who need great headphones with usb c. Great for iPhone users. These would be great for gamers or video conferencing calls. JBL Tune 520C Are my new go to headphones , can’t wait to try them out on my next flight.

Are these headphones supposed to cover the entire ear?

Asked by: Unknown person
Thanks for your question. Our JBL Tune 520C USB-C headphones are on-ear models, designed to rest on the outer part of the ear rather than fully enclosing it. This design allows for a lightweight, comfortable fit while still delivering quality sound.

Can the Microphone be turned off?

Asked by: Muvalde
Thanks for your question. Our JBL Tune 520C USB-C headset has no physical mute button to turn off its built-in microphone — it remains active whenever the headset is plugged in, as it’s designed as a basic wired headset without advanced audio control features.
