Super Light, Great Battery Life, App Connectivity

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Tune 520 are over-ear headphones, made of plastic with faux-leather earcups. Like I said they’re very lightweight and the earcup padding is plush, but the clamping force is pretty high so those with larger heads (like me) will be uncomfortable after even a moderate listening session. Those with normal-sized heads might feel differently. Overall, the construction seems pretty good.
The controls on the 520 are straightforward and similar to other JBL units. There are buttons on the right ear cup to help you turn the phones on and off, adjust volume, skip tracks forward and backwards, play/pause audio. The power button is also used for Bluetooth, and the upgrade to Bluetooth 5.3 is a nice addition. The headphones support multi-point connection, which means that they can connect to two devices. Charging is handled by USB-C. You can also adjust the equalization using the JBL Headphones app.
The 520s delivered very balanced sound out of the box. It was extremely flat, but connecting to the app allows you to tailor them to your liking. Stereo separation is great and the bass extension in the app provides a ton of punch. It took me a little while, but I was able to get the equalizer set to my liking.
Bottom line: The JBL Tune 520 are a nice way to break into JBL headphones. They’re super lightweight, the battery life is tremendous, and if you like bass you’ll love these headphones. The ability to tailor the sound using JBL’s app (which I really like) is a big plus for headphones in this price range. You just better have a smaller head.

Big Bang for the Buck

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used these headphones for a few days now and for the price, I am very impressed. Decent padding on the top and ears. I can wear them comfortably for hours. The blue tooth range is good because I move from rooms to rooms without disconnection (upstairs) If I go down stairs, I lost connection. The sound is better than I expected for the price. Lyrics are clear and base is deep. The ability to connect the JBL Tune 520 BT to multiple devices simultaneously, without needing to disconnect and reconnect, makes my lives a lot easier because I connect them with my work computer and my phone. The only complaint I have is the charging cable is a bit too short.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great all around experience. I enjoy using these headphones while in the office or chores around the house. They block out just enough sound without making me feel like I am missing anything going on around me. Very easy to connect to my phone and computer. The sound quality has been perfect for both music and podcasts. They are a good weight to where I do not feel bogged down while wearing. I look forward to using these when I need a little me time in the office.

Great headphones!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was pleasantly surprised by these headphones. As a more entry-level model in JBL's lineup, I wasn't expecting such an even sound profile. While I've never been a big fan of "on ear" style headphones these are surprisingly comfortable to wear, and still do a decent job of blocking out unwanted noise. The sound stage is nice for right-left separation, though it doesn't have the depth of higher-end models. The bass response is much better than expected as well, these headphones definitely outclass many earbuds in sound quality. Overall, these are a great bang for the buck. While they don't have many of the features of fancier models, (no active listening, auto-off, or voice assistant) they don't really need those things to be good headphones. Not to mention the battery life is stellar! i have charged these guys once after fully depleting the battery, but they last me days even when I accidentally leave them on over night.

Best

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this JBL Tune 520 BT headphones for about 10 days. So far the best for the price in terms of build quality, sound quality, features and options it has. The box is included with the cable for charging. The best part is it has a JBL app supporting these headphones using which we can customize some of the settings and the setup is very easy. Coming to wearing it for a longer time is also good without any complaints with its long-lasting battery and feather kind of light weight. Coming to sound quality and bass is great for the price. It has the option of a multipoint connection, like connecting to 2 devices at a time and switching between them, but I found it a little hard to switch and there was no clear info about it. Other than that, the rest of the things are absolutely great.

Great value and sound.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use these doing work around the house and while running. The on-ear fit has the benefit of not pressing in my glasses. The sound quality is impressive for such a light-weight headphone. My head is bigger than average, so it fits a little tight, but I don’t mind because it won’t be falling off while jogging. Again, the sound is amazing as usual from JBL.
