Great sound and soft on ears

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great sound quality while soft and comfortable. These were a bit larger for me, and could've used a bit smaller in sizing. I enjoyed easy connection and comparability with the app.

Good if you're on a tight budget, otherwise look into higher end products.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an alright set of on-ear headphones for the price, but there are some notable flaws. I'll start with the positives: Very long battery life. I charged these once and never had to charge them again for almost two weeks of regular usage. The product boasts needing only 5 minutes of charging to get 5 hours of battery life. So, if you do find yourself in a dead battery situation, it seems like a very small amount of time on the charger would remedy your issue. Also, the sound is decent, which you come to expect from JBL. I'm always happy that they make sure to make their products as “full” and bass-y as possible at every price point. Taking phone calls on these was also fine, as both parties could hear each other clearly. Finally, they are highly portable and lightweight. So, maybe a perfect beater travel pair of headphones. Now onto the negatives: I have a head on the larger size, and these headphones are just plain uncomfortable after any prolonged use. They are too tight and the small ear cups press your ear into your head in a way that is actually somewhat painful. Also, while lightweight, they seem just kind of “cheap” when it comes to the materials. I wouldn't be surprised if these start to show serious wear and tear much faster than other JBL headphones. I understand that this kind of thing comes with the price point, but that price point becomes less attractive if you're going to need to replace them regularly. Finally, there isn't any noise cancelling, and I found what I was listening to getting drowned out while using these in more active areas. Overall, if you are in need of a basic pair of over-ear headphones and aren't expecting them to be your go-to for years to come, this is your pair. Bonus points if you have a smaller head, as the lack of comfort when using longer than an hour or so is a really notable negative. I can see this being a perfect purchase for the person who maybe needs a commuter pair to and from school or work and doesn't want to have to worry about them being stolen, breaking, etc.

Solid Headphones with great sound

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Tune 530BT are on-ear Bluetooth headphones that deliver great sound and are comfortable to wear. Since these are on-ear, rather than over the ear, they are a bit smaller. The ear pieces fold, making the headphones easy to throw into your purse, bag or suitcase. They are light weight and the padding across the band makes it easy to comfortably wear the headphones for extended periods. To get the sound profile that works best for you, you will need to download the JBL Headphones app to your phone and adjust the settings using the app. The first time I tried to make adjustments, the app found the headphones, but it froze or something. I had to close the app and start over, but after that I didn't have any more problems using the app with the headphones. These headphones are affordable for many people. While they feel very sturdy, I found myself wondering how the covering on the ear pads will hold up over time. Also, there was nothing else in the box, other than the headphones and a quick start guide, so you will need your own charging cord and app. I took off a star because of my concern about the long-term wear and tear and because one person I was talking to on my cellphone said that I sounded like I was in a tunnel when we were talking. She said that I sounded far away, so I had to turn off the headphones to complete that call. I used the headphones for other calls with no problem, so I am not sure what happened on that one call. Overall, I'd recommend these for someone who was looking for an affordable, comfortable set of headphones with great sound (once you make your adjustments through the app). Also, the battery life of up to 76 hours is long compared to similar headsets.
