Comfortable and stylish, closed-back wireless on-ear headphones with built-in microphones, practical foldable design and support for Google Voice Assistant. Positioned as a mid-range product aimed at a wide range of users who want to purchase a long-lasting wireless model with the additional possibility of cable connection. Equipped with large 50mm dynamic drivers, delivering the powerful, signature JBL bass sound that fans of the brand love so much.
Comfortable elastic headband, trimmed with fabric, provides a secure hold on the head. At the same time, the soft and wide ear cushions of the JBL Live 500BT headphones do not create excessive pressure on the ears, which has a positive effect on the sensations during prolonged wear. Connection to a signal source (smartphone, tablet, laptop) is carried out via the bluetooth 4.2 interface, which connects gadgets at a distance of up to 10 m.
An interesting feature of this model is two special technologies that help the user maintain contact with the environment without removing the headphones. A touch of the Ambient Aware button activates ambient sounds through the built-in microphones, while TalkThru mode lowers the music level so you can talk to friends without removing your headphones. The integrated battery provides up to 30 hours of battery life and supports fast charging (2 hours of battery life in 15 minutes of charging).

Model overview based on user reviews
The JBL Live 500BT headphones offer excellent sound quality and are praised for their long battery life, lasting up to 30 hours. Users appreciate features like fast charging, TalkThru, and Ambient Aware, making them versatile for music and gaming. However, the build quality is a common concern, with reports of creaking and parts wearing out over time. Some users find the bass lacking and experience issues with Bluetooth connectivity and app performance. Despite these drawbacks, the headphones are considered a good choice for their price, especially for those who value sound quality and battery life over build durability.

Cool model, but with its drawbacks. I bought them knowing about the disadvantages and was ready to deal with them. By the way, most of them turned out to be far from critical. Sound, autonomy, signal range, convenience (soft rim and bowls), quality of materials, noise reduction, battery lasts from three days to a couple of weeks depending on operating time, compactness. When you turn on the Aware and TalkThru functions, the wind blows out the microphone and this interferes, they creak, the voice assistant is dull (maybe it’s purely my problem), the inner seam on the cups rubs if you put it on incorrectly, the pause button does not work crookedly (very rarely, but everything is fine), there is something inside something is shaking.  Timofey Kuznecov: use JBL Live 500BT few months |
Good sound balance. I use it for writing music and for games - it’s great for both. More than suitable for everyday listening to music. Convenient and useful software. Disappointed with the build quality, but despite this, I can safely recommend purchasing Excellent sound, positioning, fast charging support, technologies like talk thru and ambient aware Assembly. use JBL Live 500BT month or more i recommend it should buy |
Very weak bass. If you turn up the equalizer a little, they start to crap. Not worth the money! After AKG 404, they are just computer tweeters. Such healthy headphones should play much louder and bassier, but no. One disappointment... I've been using it for a year. Finishing Very weak bass. Low volume. Not worth the money. Significantly inferior to AKG 404. |
