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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

My Tune 520 Review
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Tune 520C is a very good sounding and looking product. The headset uses a USB-C connection. The unit is lite weight and fits comfortably on my head. It has Hi-Res Audio and Pure Bass Sound. You can also use the headset to make phone calls. It has an attached remote control to turn the volume up and down. The headphones also come with EQ presets that can be changed by the remote control.

Does this plug in to a Google cell phone?
Thanks for your question. Our JBL Tune 520C USB-C is designed to connect to a USB-C port that outputs audio/video. If your Google phone has a USB‑C port, it should work.

Hi, I purchased these headphones. They work great while watching media yet while on a phone call or a zoom call it switches back to the phone audio not the headphones- how can I get it to keep the audio on the headphones?
Thanks for reaching out. Here are some troubleshooting steps that might help isolate the issue with your JBL Tune 520C. First, unplug and reconnect the headphone, then during the call or Zoom meeting, manually select JBL Tune 520C USB-C as the audio input and output in the device or app audio settings to keep sound routed to the headphones. Next, try the headphones on a different USB-C device to confirm whether the issue is device-specific. For further assistance, please contact us. Thanks for reaching out.

Do these work on airplanes, instead of the junk ones they give you?
Thanks for your inquiry. Our JBL Tune 520C USB-C is designed to connect to a USB-C port that outputs audio/video. We recommend checking your airline's seat specs online first, if they have USB-C ports, or you may try checking 3.5mm to USB-C adapters (sold separately) on 3rd party sellers.

Is the wire detachable and are these noise canceling?
Thanks for your inquiry. The wire of JBL Tune 520C USB-C is not detachable and it doesn't have Noise Canceling feature. If interested, we recommend our other Noise Canceling headphones and comes with detachable audio cable, like our JBL Live 660NC.

Howdy JBL, with no 3.5 mm circular mini jack receptor, that's used with many smartphones for sound going to the headset, does this item's USB plug "only" get to go into where I plug in my own USB to recharge my celly? I a tech rookie, did you guess? Thanx
Thanks for your inquiry. Our JBL Tune 520 USB-C is designed to connect to a device's USB-C port that outputs audio/video. We recommend checking the "JBL Tune 520 USB-C Compatibility Chart" to check if your phone or device model is on the list.

Is this compatible with an Iphone?
Thanks for your question. Our JBL Tune 520C USB-C headphones are compatible with iPhones that have a USB-C port, such as the iPhone 15.

Are these headphones supposed to cover the entire ear?
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?
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.
