[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The coolest feature about the JBL Tune 520C (with the "C" meaning USB-C connectivity for truer audio) is, without a doubt, audio over USB-C. Virtually any phone that has a USB-C female plug should be compatible with the "freshest" idea in wired headphones. Deep Bass (as low as 10Hz, and high detail (up to 40kHz) proves that JBL and Harman are willing to work together to bring "THE JBL" back after many years of wireless sound with Bass no lower than 20Hz. If all goes well, I'm pretty sure that JBL and Harman will churn out over-ear versions of USB-C Wired Headphones, up to and including some of JBL's more expensive variants of Headphones JBL has to offer. The only lowest point is that you can't disconnect the USB-C Cable out of the product, but that could change if all goes well with these pair of cans.
[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.
[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.
