    Reviewed in India on 5 October 2020

    This review is after about 2 weeks of heavy usage of these headphones, so here goes:

    Build quality- The headphones are well built, and although I used to have to take them off after a while when I first bought them, this pretty much happens to everyone buying their first pair of over ear headphones, you'll get used to it after around a week. Overall, I would say that theyre extremely well built, and the fabric around the top band really helps them be extremely comfy to wear.

    Noise isolation : Amazon has mentioned that these headphones have noise "cancellation" but there's a difference between 'active' noise cancellation and "passive" noise "isolation". In short: these headphones don't have noise cancellation, but that's literally impossible to get at this price point. However the headphones do a really good job at noise "isolation" and you can barely hear anything.

    Sound- They sound really good, that's all I can really say, they're a little bass heavy but you can customise that using the JBL headphones app, which I definitely recommend using with these headphones- it makes them come to life honestly and they sound soo much better.

    Other features- The ambient noise features that they have mentioned work extremely well, I was mind blown that this feature works so well at this price point, it's super useful and definitely another huge plus in my book.
    The Google assistant feature is slightly finicky though- The best way to get it to work is to slightly press down using 2 fingers instead of just tapping, it's pretty good though, it reads out your notifications so you don't have to pull out your phone to see.

    Connectivity- This is my only issue with these headphones: the audio can start stuttering at times but it takes just a couple seconds to reconnect them which fixes the issue.

    Final thoughts: These headphones have lots of good features, pretty good sound, and even an audio jack so you can use them wired. They're the best pair of headphones for those who are going to use them for many different situations (at home, commuting, using them with your gaming console, etc). If you don't care about the audio jack and the ambient features you should look at senheiser headphones, they have even better sound, but these headphones are a total win for me.

    Top quality sound....and ambient aware is a wonderful add-on.... honestly i got it for 5500/- for the price or for even 8000/- believe me its worth it....sound quality is top notch...

    Pros
    Build quality
    Sounds engineering
    Ambient aware feature
    Bluetooth range
    Google assistant integration
    For small ear's like me great comfort
    JBL application
    You get a braided cable and flat charging cable

    Cons
    Type connection absent its micro USB.
    and
    Dont get me wrong bass is really good coz it is not muddy its clear but if you are too much into bass go for Sony XB series headphones you will be unsatisfied if you want bass heavy sound quality.

    The cans are gr8 and worth the money.
    They have a premium feel as u are unboxing and using them too.
    But guys from my use i can say they cannot be worn for long hrs like 3 or more.
    My ears had an itching feel and top of my head srarted to pain after 2 hrs of use and had to remove them for the while.
    Battery is gr8 and you can see that they are fast charging.
    The noise cancellation is mostly passive and does preety good job
    The ambient aware and talk thru are really useful for pple who are not always alone and need to continuously take their cans on and off to listen to others..
    The bass is not as good as i had expected but they do makeup in the overall sound quality.
    If you want a premium feel and a brand associated to it with good pair of cans go for it.
    Guys oviously these are not the more high end cans that u see for double the price ranges so u need to loose somethings to gain somethings

    Reviewed in France on 8 May 2021
    Colour: BlackVerified Purchase
    Le casque a une très bonne qualité de son c'est normale car c'est du jbl. La réduction de bruit est une réduction de bruit passive ce que je trouve un peut dommage sur un casque de ce prix malgré que je l'ai payé presque moitié prix. Le casque est confortable mais serre beaucoup la tête attention au bout de 3h à 4h d'utilisation le casque donne mal à la tête. La prise en main ce fais très facilement malgré que le bouton play pause sois difficile à cliquer. Les contrôles de l'assistant Google sont quelque peut intuitif mais des fonctions restes cachés et sous nous sommes obligé de lire le manuel sois attendre que l'assistant nous les expliques

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great price and quality Headphones!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 March 2021
    Colour: BlackVerified Purchase
    Best money I've spent in a while. I'm no sound or Headphone expert by any stretch, but have been through quite a few Mid-Range Headphones over the years, Senn's, Skull Candy etc, similar price point . These are by far the best I've ever purchased, by a mile. The sound is great (for me), I listen to Rock/Metal mostly, so feel they are nice with the mid range and highs, without the usual (and often expected) Bass thumping, over everything else. Great if you're for Dance/Trance etc, but not for me. Functions are easy to use and accessible, as was the initial set up. Nice to have a supported App to go with it. Noise cancelling is very good and talk through feature in the App is a really nice feature. Google Assistance seems a little hit and miss, workability wise, but may just be me, plus I don't really want or need it either way. Also a tad disappointed there wasn't any sort of carry case or pounch included, which I would have thought for the price paid, would've been included. But genuinely only small gripes, as the Heaphones themselves (for me) are awesome.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Cómodos y buen sonido
    Reviewed in Spain on 12 January 2021
    Colour: BlackVerified Purchase
    De entrada no soy un histérico del HIFI y hasta ahora me he desenvuelto con otros auriculares de calidad inferior. Con esta base estos me parecen muy buenos, el sonido es claro, con bajos razonables, se vinculan fácilmente, se pueden conectar con cable incluido (la entrada al auricular es de dos y pico y la otra es estándar de 3,5) y lo único es que la carga es por micro USB (también incluido) y no USB C, pero tampoco es gran problema. Son cómodos (hay que darle un par de puestas de margen porque al principio aprietan un poco) y pesan bastante poco y aunque son plásticos dan sensación de calidad.
    No tienen cancelación activa pero con el sistema que lleva te permite aislarte casi al 100 %, o escuchar nítidamente el exterior pulsando un botón. Se pueden vincular con una aplicación para ecualizar el sonido y otras prestaciones.
    Comprado en una oferta por debajo de 80 euros, no sé qué ofrecerán otros que cuestan el triple (los últimos lanzados de una marca con muchos fanáticos ocho veces más), pero dudo que suenen ocho veces mejor. o que duren ocho años más, o que sean ocho veces más bonitos, aunque esto es subjetivo.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Ich liebe diese Kopfhörer
    Reviewed in Germany on 9 July 2020
    Colour: BlackVerified Purchase
    Jetzt besitze ich den Kopfhörer so ziemlich genau 1 Jahr. Mein Fazit:

    Das sind zwar meine ersten richtigen Kopfhörer, aber dafür liebe ich sie einfach. Höre viel Musik und lange. Im Zug zur Arbeit, bei Gartenarbeiten, kochen oder putzen. So oft es eben geht.
    Die Kopfhörer schirmen sehr gut von allem ab. Es passiert häufig, dass ich das piepsen vom Küchentimer nicht höre, wenn ich Musik höre und am kochen bin. Auch die Freundin ist dann abgeschaltet. Man hört sie nicht rufen :D
    Eine stundenlange Zugfahrt von Berlin nach Frankfurt ist absolut kein Problem. Hatte sie auch schon locker über 8 Stunden auf. Sie drücken absolut nicht unangenehm am Ohr. Das Gewicht ist auch gering.

    Die Soundqualität ist mir dabei auch sehr wichtig. Da gibt es nichts auszusetzen. Bei Harder Styles im elektronischen Bereich überzeugt der Kopfhörer genauso wie bei Deutschrock. Der Equalizer von der JBL App hilft dabei, den Wohlfühlsound einzustellen.
    Anfangs war mir der Kopfhörer zu leise. Aber das lag an meinen Spotify Einstellungen. Jetzt höre ich manchmal sogar zu laut. Das merkt man aber erst nach stundenlanger zu lauter Musik.

    Der Akku ist der Wahnsinn. Gefühlt hält der Akku ewig. Wenn er mal leer ist, ist er ziemlich schnell aufgeladen. 30min - 1h und man kann wieder lange hören. Leider funktioniert das aufladen und hören nicht gleichzeitig. Habe schon versucht mit Powerbank zu hören, weil der Akku leer war. Ging leider nicht. Aber wer macht auch sowas. Dafür gibt es keinen Punkt Abzug.

    Lediglich der JBL Aufkleber hat sich etwas abgelöst. Aber das stört mich nicht. Ist und bleibt ein Gebrauchsgegenstand. Da kann das passieren.

    Die mir wichtigsten Sachen, wie Komfort, Soundqualität und Akkulaufzeit mit schnellem Aufladen hat der JBL Live 500BT. Somit hat er für mich 5 Sterne verdient.

    Sounds great for the price (very good value). Battery life so far is also great - it probably does last for 30 hours. The fit is also nice (I use it at the gym and bending down / lying down does not make it fall off or lose placement).

    The app is also quite nice. You can see the remaining battery life, it's easy to connect to via Bluetooth, and you can use the talk-thru option / ambient aware to hear your surroundings if need be (it actually works).

    The other positive is that it is not noise-cancelling but at the same time, I can workout at the gym without really hearing the gym music interfere with what I am listening to. I can more clearly hear my audiobooks / podcasts (which is the reason why I switched to an over-ear headphone).

    Only downside is that in hot environments, your ears may get a bit sweaty - but I think this is normal for just about any over-ear headphones.
