Review: Great price and quality Headphones! - Best money I've spent in a while. I'm no sound or Headphone expert by any stretch, but have been through quite a few Mid-Range Headphones over the years, Senn's, Skull Candy etc, similar price point . These are by far the best I've ever purchased, by a mile. The sound is great (for me), I listen to Rock/Metal mostly, so feel they are nice with the mid range and highs, without the usual (and often expected) Bass thumping, over everything else. Great if you're for Dance/Trance etc, but not for me. Functions are easy to use and accessible, as was the initial set up. Nice to have a supported App to go with it. Noise cancelling is very good and talk through feature in the App is a really nice feature. Google Assistance seems a little hit and miss, workability wise, but may just be me, plus I don't really want or need it either way. Also a tad disappointed there wasn't any sort of carry case or pounch included, which I would have thought for the price paid, would've been included. But genuinely only small gripes, as the Heaphones themselves (for me) are awesome.
Review: Comfy and great earphones - Honestly I bought it knowing I wouldn’t have the noise cancellation function so I wouldn’t comment on that too much. The headphones are great; the ear pads are soft and comfy, the fit is just fine on my head, the sound quality is pretty good, the only thing is the bass is pretty thumpy, which some people may not like. Also it does come with a cloth cable instead of the regular ones so I did think those were rather neat. The JBL app, though, is pretty weird with the ambient sound and talk thru function which doesn’t really work because when you activate those all you hear is really loud white noise with whatever you’re listening to really soft to a point where you’re barely able to hear it.

*by C***9 on 17 June 2020*

I've been trialing my son's JBL E55BT headphones (after having been surprisingly let down by a Sennheiser pair) and I got on with the E55's really well. They've been superceded by the Live500BT though, a very similar device but with a few extras, hence I bought a pair. The Live500BT are a comfortable pair of phones and collapse well for travel. Unlike the E55's, these have a metal hinge on the cups which seems more rugged. Supplied with both USB charging cable and a decent 3.5mm cable to hardwire the phones (for when you can't wirelessly connect), they charged quickly and connected easily to all devices I needed. Sound quality is fairly good, however this can be tweaked by use of the JBL headphone app for your smartphone. Although not massively useful, you can set EQ preferences, update the headphones firmware and setup the JBL's for either Google or Alexa voice assist. I use the latter and this was easily setup, despite other reviews, and it works well. I can stream Amazon Music direct to the phones (albeit via phone app) and this works great. The only irritation which is ok once you're aware, is that you can turn on the voice assist by tapping the left earpiece, as this contains a discreet proximity sensor, built-in for the purpose. This quirk means you can accidentally interrupt audio playback, just by shuffling or adjusting the headphones during use Of course, the Live500BT's also provide good handsfree conversation over your mobile phone, both inbound audio and my voice to caller have been fine so far, no issues with voice traffic either way. Simple and effective controls operate volume, call accept/reject etc, track advance +/- etc., all fairly intuitive. Battery life so far has been excellent and the phones haven't failed on any BT connection as yet. If it weren't for the occasional quirk of turning on voice assist, these would be a blistering 5 star. You can completely turn off the feature however, so if you don't need Mr Googl or Madam Alexa, this problem will never materialise. All in all, great headphones and very pleased so far ... but I did manage to bag them during a flash sale (I'd struggle to recommend them at their full RRP).
