I think that for $50 you can’t complain. It’s basically super budget headphones that do more than they’re supposed to for that price.

[@itstheBMAC]

That’s a great way of putting it. 👏🏼

[@nishantsaloki8490]

Bought this yesterday and listening on it. Really good sounding

[@itstheBMAC]

Glad you like it!

[@_sarthaks]

Does it also has a audio jack so that i can connect it without bluetooth!??

[@user-ut1gx2xz5t]

I got the 520BTs... Pretty good headphones!

[@derrickmorrison5832]

I do not think you can connect them via Bluetooth while recharging. I prefer to control the volume from the rocker buttons on the side of my Galaxy A54. I like the USB connecting cable is bright orange to distinguish the from other cables

[@kytim89]

What size are the ear pads?

[@TemplesOfOurGods]

Got mine at a reduced price from lowes! 23-25$ (location varies) These are amazing I got them today I don't regret it! :D

[@BlueNightfall]

There is an annoying clicking sound, anyone found it as well? Don't know how to fix it

Can you use these for watching tv ?

[@rdr8147]

Got mine yesterday from ROSS haha and not at all disappointed! They're pretty solid!

[@LiamJones-bm1eu]

I just got these headphones for my birthday couple weeks ago I love them I can't stop using them I even used them to listen to this video they honestly sound amazing I had similar JBL headphones to these ones before but they stopped charging and working

[@itstheBMAC]

Glad you like them!

[@johnw4985]

Do you have any idea what the "hole" next to the USB charging port is? There is another one on the left ear cup as well, they look like the old micro ports!

[@itstheBMAC]

I believe those are microphones!

[@Vippopper]

i had these for ~a couple years and i just got new ones today and one of the first things i noticed were that the new ones are definitely tighter than the old ones. I noticed that the arc that goes above your head on the old ones is around an inch wider than on the new ones

[@itstheBMAC]

Yes, they're pretty tight on your head. That's somewhat typical with on-ear headphones, but I found them a little tighter than I'd like them to be.

[@mattblaize]

Will they last for atleast 2 years?

[@guiangelo1510]

How long did the headset last?

[@rogerdadodger9033]

I just got them from target I hate losing the pods

[@rungxanh2901]

Thanks for the review Brian. Do you happen to experience the constant re-connection issue on this headphone? Literally occurs when I stop playing audio for like 10 seconds

[@itstheBMAC]

I haven’t experienced any connection issues so far! Did you reach out to JBL support?

[@rungxanh2901]

@@itstheBMAC I didn't, but I'll try that. Thank you!

[@ronaldosewyy972]

I got it for like $80AUD which is around $53 USD. When I tested it, It was way better then any other headphones I’ve had in the past. And the surprising thing was all my other headphones in the past were more expensive then these ones. I feel so good while listening to music with these. These are some incredible pair of headphones. Must reccomend the JBL Tune 510BT

[@ranzleiqueso3066]

hows the latency when watching movies? does it have obvious mouth delay when someone speaks on the videos? thanks for the good review 👍

[@nanashi2622]

I think most wireless headphones (or any bluetooth earbuds or speaker) tries to sync the audio with the video. So latency in videos isn't really a problem. Latency will start to become a problem when gaming wirelessly. Fortunately, this headphone can be used wired which will eliminate the latency problem.

[@cexar42]

The battery remains and it is not draining if You stop using them. I am using them normally ~2 hrs per week. So last sept 2023 they were at ~90 percent (from the unboxing) and I recharged them for the very first time until April 2024. The Best headphones ever. True pure bass!!

[@CarlJustinSanchez1]

Hi, do these headphones have a jack cable for wired listening? Thank you

[@itstheBMAC]

No, the JBL Tune 510BT headphones do not have any wired option.

[@heathalbritton]

Just bought some off Amazon for $25 with Amazon big deal day. We’ll see how they do.

Got a pair for Christmas. Came here to learn about em. Interestingly enough, my pair’s microphone sounds a lot better than the pair you have lol, but outside of that, these are probably the nicest pair of headphones I’ve ever owned

So happy to hear it! Congrats on a great pair of headphones!

[@seadog915]

My Daughter got me a pair this weekend, I wanted to check and see if there was any reviews cause I haven't used any for about 40 yrs. I am completely surprised! they're a very good deal and sound great! Plus, I think she paid less than 30 bucks for them.

I can't speak to that as I've only ever owned the black color. I wouldn't think the white color would get so easily dirty so fast, though.

[@itstheBMAC]

That's awesome! They're great!

[@AnythingGozePodcast]

They have no eq but music listening do come alive

[@lionfan11]

One thing I would like to point out is how these headphones don’t have an aux port if they’re running low on charge

[@-a5n-729]

I just bought the 520bt . What are the differences??

[@itstheBMAC]

The 520BTs are a little updated. There are comparison charts readily available online for you!

[@walid7013]

Hey ​@@itstheBMAC, can u please let us know if the 520bt or 510 are sweat proof ? I am assuming they are not proper water proof but can they be exposed to sweat (running, gym) and not be damaged? Or even very light rain if ure running? Any idea? As i cannot find an answer anywhere.

[@theshogunblaze3656]

The only issue I have with these is the fact they slide off my head whenever i lean over to pick up something These are the best $25-$50 headphones period. The quality is almost on par with Studio Beats

[@gsxr717]

Agreed for the price I’d pick these over most of the beats that I’ve owned

[@PolarBearXx]

Are they better than Beats Flex mine got stolen but I remember they were good bass

[@itstheBMAC]

You're comparing earbuds to headphones which isn't a really great comparison, but I'd probably recommend these over the Flex at this time from a personal experience standpoint.

[@CMDAVISs]

Found mine for 29 bucks at Walmart because open box. They ate working great imo.

[@nonyabusiness1126]

I like them, but need a means for keeping them from slipping when sweaty.

[@OmarAFawzy]

Jbl tune 510BT or sondy CH520, plzzz??

[@itstheBMAC]

I haven't tried the Sonys, but I'd recommend the JBL without question.

[@OmarAFawzy]

@@itstheBMAC thank you very much,appreciate your effort 🤎🤎🤎

[@Justthe2ofUs843]

Any one figure out how to make the head band less tight without braking them.

[@itstheBMAC]

Unfortunately I think the clamping pressure is just part of their design.

[@Kinetic28]

Are they better than Noise two wireless headphones ?? and second question do they leak sound outside ?

[@itstheBMAC]

I haven’t tried those so I can’t honestly say!

[@Prod_Kole]

I got them but the audio quality isn’t very good. I went back to my old wired apple earbuds which had much higher and less muddy audio.

[@Prod_Kole]

Never mind. My laptop has a problem where if I have my microphone enabled all the Bluetooth audio is trash quality. I just had to disable my mic and it sounds good nowv

[@shanegregoire567]

They sound great but mine do not stay on my head even with the slightest movement they fall off. Very loose fit.

[@itstheBMAC]

Really?! I’ve found these to actually be rather uncomfortably tight on my head.

[@shanegregoire567]

@@itstheBMAC yeah the first few days they were fine. I have had them for about a month now and I can't even turn my head without them slipping off.

Thanks for this video - I bought these on a sweet deal and have been happy with them. Then they needed charging and if you think I could find the charging port....I was thinking the reason they were cheap is cos they were disposable, LOL. Then I remembered your video and voila, all was revealed! I never was any good with those pictograms......

As this video explains, there is no IPX rating, so these are not meant to be used without protecting them against dust and/or water.

[@dmitriyskilov3022]

I don't know man, I have them for a year already and almost never use them. Can't complain about sound, but uhh how uncomfortable they are. They have the smallest earcups I've ever seen in any headphones and my ears just get hot quickly. Also I'm a gamer so they are just not for me I guess.

[@itstheBMAC]

The earcups are actually quite normal in size because they’re considered “on-ear headphones” and not “over-ear.” I will admit that they do have some heavier clamping pressure than I was hoping. I appreciate you sharing your experience!

On ear is great. Reduces moisture build up in ears. Swimmer ear prevention
