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.

Tune 520C Great performance at Affordable Option
on May 27, 2025
Posted by: Rockin earbuds
from Atascocita, Texas
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product was for my wife. We travel overseas quite often and looking for something to use in airports and on the planes. It turns out she has used them extensively at home since day one and we haven’t flown yet with them. My wife is Thai and I help her with the review due to some language barriers. While my wife speaks English and we watch and listen to many English speaking programs together, she does like to watch and listen to many Thai language programs. This worked perfectly for us both because she uses her IPad while I watch tv. She absolutely loves them telling me they are so comfortable and she hears very little from my tv programs that I watch. She has literally used them 4 to 5 hours per day since getting them. She likes that they are so lightweight and loves the sound quality. I have also tried them and agree with her assessment. Great quality and affordability! One thing to notice when buying is they use USB-C which wasn’t a problem because her IPad is a newer model. There is an adapter you can purchase if you have the lightning connection. Adjustment for fit is very smooth and you have the option to adjust volume from either your device or on the cord. The bass is excellent and she speaks with her daughter in Thailand often with hands free option.
I would recommend this to a friend!

My Tune 520 Review
on May 22, 2025
Posted by: Gerald M
from Bronx, New York
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Tune 520C is a very good sounding and looking product. The headset uses a USB-C connection. The unit is lite weight and fits comfortably on my head. It has Hi-Res Audio and Pure Bass Sound. You can also use the headset to make phone calls. It has an attached remote control to turn the volume up and down. The headphones also come with EQ presets that can be changed by the remote control.

JBL Can Take A Bow!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After putting the JBL Tune 520C to practical use, I have nothing but glowing words regarding my review of this excellent product. The sound quality is superb with impressive lows for over the ear headphones. Highs are interpreted equally as well giving the overall sound a clarity superior to most devices of this type. Basic operations are both simple and straightforward. This reasonably priced entry into the headphone market was solidly built but light to wear and comfortable to use in all applications.

JBL Tune 520C, stable wired headphone selection.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The sound quality of JBL Tune 520C is really good when connected by cable! When it comes to JBL, it's also a banging bass. In addition, it's a perfect design for your ears, so it's easy to carry and comfortable to use for a long time.
A strong point
A strong point
Don’t worry about the battery! Because it‘s a wired connection, you can use it anytime and anywhere, and the sound comes in without interruption.
It goes well with any song with a balanced sound.
It’s in the bag! It‘s foldable, so it’s good to carry anywhere. It‘s perfect for listening to music on the go!
Shortcoming
Unfortunately, there is no noise cancellation, so it is difficult to completely block out external noise.
You can hear a little more noise from the outside.
JBL Tune 520C wired headphones are products that allow you to enjoy JBL’s wonderful sound at a low price. It‘s easy to carry and comfortable to wear, so if you don’t really need noise cancellation or wireless connection, it‘s a good choice!

Functional, Great Sounding Headphones
on May 13, 2025

from Warsaw, IN
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] JBL's new Tune 520C USB-C headphones are quality-sounding and functional without having to worry about battery life. The headphones are lightweight, easy to use, and provide clear sound for listening and for calls.
The headphones have no trouble with relaying crystal clear sound whether it be music, podcasts, phone calls, or shows/movies. The bass works well, and is not overbearing. They cancel outside noise very well. When wearing them without anything playing, I can hear someone talking to me, but with sound on, I'm able to focus without interruption.
These are very lightweight, seemingly weighing almost nothing. However, the build quality is not sacrificed. There is padding around the speakers over your ears, and there is padding at the top of the band for the top of your head. The cable is tangle-free, which is very nice, and is just the right length to be handy but not a hassle. The headphones can smoothly swivel too. These are adjustable to fit most head sizes, but they could stand to have more extension for bigger noggins.
The control on the cable is convenient for adjusting volume, hands-free calls, changing the track, and pausing/playing. Since the cable is USB-C compatible, it's rather refreshing to not worry about charging a battery. It's especially handy for travel, long trips, and to rely on when using at home or work.
All in all, the Tune 520C headphones are reliable, great-sounding, and lightweight with a convenient tangle-free design.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

from Greenwood ms
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love these headphones. They work with everything I own from my ps5 to my phone. My kids use it for the in car audio on my wife’s Yukon. They fit perfect over my ears and my kids ear. It’s great how it interchanges with all my devices. JBL has done an outstanding job with their products. 5 stars all day long.
