I got this as a gift in 2019 and now I am working from home. I kept having problems with distortion when using the headphones on Zoom and Teams calls. After some investigation, this is a universal problem among JBL Bluetooth headphones on Windows 10. Do not buy if you want to use this as a headset with your pc.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Our JBL Tune 500BT is designed to work with any Bluetooth capable device. Please avoid places where there could be interference ex. Wi-Fi routers. Because Wi-Fi signal is stronger than Bluetooth. Please check our guide regarding Bluetooth troubleshooting: https://support.jbl.com/us/en/search/?q=bluetooth%20troubleshooting

Very Disappointed

I bought it based on good feedback, but when I used it, it was not as expected. I worked well the first week only. Beyond that week, 30-45 minutes or so into a meeting, it starts acting weird and cutting off. I have to disconnect and reconnect for it to work. The longer the meeting, the shorter the intervals. I thought the device I got was broken. So, I got a replacement from the shop, but the same thing happened after a week of use. It seems that this model is defective, at least in my case. But it is my first experience with JBL, so I am not sure if I will use it again.

Very uncomfortable to wear

I bought these a week ago and here is what I've come to so far: Sound quality is mediocre, it has a lot of bass but it doesn't drown out the vocals or other instruments, volume is not that loud. The worst part about these is how tight they are, the earpads are not that soft and make my ears hurt after just 5 to 10 minutes of usage. I wore these for about an hour and my ears were super red and were hurting so much. Build quality is good, it looks stylish and doesnt feel like it's going to break if I stretch them too much.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
