Review on πŸ”Š Renewed JBL LIVE 500BT Over-the-Ear Headphones in Black - JBLLIVE500BTBLKAM by Ha Joon

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The quality does not meet expectations, I will not buy any more.

I listened to the recommendation of a friend and ended up purchasing these headphones. Price 3700r. Headphones are designed to be worn comfortably on any circumference of the head (tested, suitable even for children from 4 years old :-). Even though these headphones are not in the most expensive price category, I couldn't shake the feeling that they should provide a more engaging listening experience. I listened for several days. There is absolutely no audible transmission when using a wireless connection. The sound does not travel to the native AKG plugs on the Samsung Galaxy S8 when it is transmitted over the wire. I was even convinced enough to purchase a copy, of which there are plenty available for purchase. JBL's support team was able to verify the product's authenticity as an authentic JBL product. After conducting my own research into the matter and gaining a deeper understanding of it, I became familiar with the APTX codec as well as other cutting-edge technology. I took these headphones back to the store where I purchased them. I made the decision to purchase headphones from a different company that were priced similarly. The sound is loud in general, and I am unable to single out specific features that are really pleasant. As a consequence of this, in my personal, non-professional opinion, after having listened to other headphones in the same price range, and what is key - also famous brands (not Chinese names), in general, I do not recommend headphones that do not at least enable APTX!

Pros
  • Wearing it won't be a chore! The soundproofing isn't all that bad! Awesome design! Great autonomy!
Cons
  • This is a substantial change from 2022, in which there is no minimum APTX. The sound quality was terrible from any source, whether it was wired or wireless.
