Headphones snapped in half by the top part when I dropped it two times on accident! Headphones do sound great and the bass is amazing!

We appreciate your feedback about our JBL Tune 500. We're always looking for ways to improve. We'll forward your suggestion to the appropriate team. Thanks.
I have 2 sets that my kids have been using for the last year and it works great with a perfect sounds, I just bought another 3... good price for the sound you get, easy to store in a bag or suitcase.
I would love to have given this product a 5 star rating across the board, except that it has the same problem that almost all headsets with a mic have: When you are on the phone, you can't hear your own voice through the headset. You can only hear your voice in your head and you end up speaking a lot more loudly than you need to. For instance, if you are using this headset in the car (hands-free), it would be most advantageous to be able to hear more than just your phone conversation, wouldn't you agree? This is annoying to me and I wish that an innovative company like yours would find an innovative way to fix it. Overall sound quality is superb and the bass response is excellent, just as one would expect from a JBL product. I would like to have an inline volume control and a longer connecting cable. There is also a button inline that I can't find any instructions for its use. The durability question is kind of irrelevant, considering that this would be determined over a significant period of time and I have only had it for a few weeks and I haven't used it anywhere but in my home, so I can't rate its durability yet.
Bought these headphones for my husband to wear while at work. They were great until the 7th day and then they were dead. Mailed them back, waiting on a refund. I guess I have to spend a small fortune for good headphones, which I am not about to do.
