Great for music, but could use Improvement.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very lightweight with a soft headband. Heavy bass sound, but voice of artist gets drowned out by heavy bass. When watching videos(voices, and other noises sound faint. Overall, great for music. Headphones make your ears warm.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Just the basics well executed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is refreshing to see a traditional pair of wired cans with an in line microphone. I love to have a pair like this for home use. I hate wasting charge cycles on expensive wiress headphones while seated at my desk. I am a remote worker that has dozens of zoom meetings every week and have used these for all of them. I am impressed with audio clarity both sending and receiving.
I have also listened to a wide range of music from bass heavy electronic to classic rock. They perform well in general across genres, but they are not a heavy punch on the low end. That said I felt they were pretty clear across all frequencies compared to your standard pack in buds.
Design is where I sing them the most. The headband is pretty boxy. They are also a little tight for my liking. They are extremely light weight and generally comfortable for longer wear sessions despite their taught nature.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They're nice, but corded on ear headphones seem outdated be todays standards. The sound quality is great but they don't get very loud, that could just be my phone though. My sister found them useful for her Chromebook at school.

Impressive Sound with a Small Quirk

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] ’ve been using the JBL Tune 520C (USB-C) for a few weeks, and overall, it delivers solid performance. The sound quality is impressive—classic JBL tuning with deep bass, clear mids, and crisp highs. Music, videos, and podcasts all come through clean and well-balanced. The USB-C connection is a big plus, especially with newer devices that no longer have headphone jacks. It’s reliable, with no noticeable lag or connection issues.
The design is sleek and the headphones feel well-built. They're comfortable enough for long listening sessions thanks to the soft ear cushions and lightweight frame. I also really like that there’s no battery—just plug in and go without worrying about charging.
One issue I’ve run into is a faint buzzing sound during calls, especially on Microsoft Teams. It’s not overly loud, but it is noticeable and can be distracting during meetings or extended conversations. This might be something to consider if you rely heavily on Teams for work or communication.
If your main use is music or media playback, the JBL Tune 520C (USB-C) performs well. Just be aware of the buzzing on Teams calls.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good option for wired sound
on May 29, 2025
Posted by: Neuty
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good sound for a wired device. Very sleek looking black headphones that do the job. Setting up was a breeze and daily use at this point hasn’t shown any degradation of the product. If BT isn’t an option, these will do the job nicely.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sound quality is up to JBL A1 standards. The playback controls are straightforward enough to use. However I do have an issue with the cord length. I wish it was a tad bit longer since I use it with my PC sometimes
