    The Bluetooth-button does not switch between devices, it's for enabling pairing mode.
    To switch between paired devices, you stop media playback on the current one and start it on the other one. The headphones will switch to the other device.
    Phone calls will come through automatically.

    bought the Live 400bt yesterday. Sick upgrade from the old series. Blown away with its new features Alexa, google assistant, talk thru and ambient aware, but wait there’s more!😂 you can actually customized your preferred EQ from the JBL app. That’s pretty dope!

      Dustrong Domination I just bought the 400bt today and they aren't comfortable to me at all. Wearing them actually hurts. I wanted to like them, but I'm just going to take them back. Maybe the 500bt would feel better, being over the ear instead of on ear?

    @Joe-if5rq Před 5 lety

    Picked these up at my local target but have to return them. Crackling sounds on plastic where the earcups rotate. Also more noticeable and annyoing when you move your head or if your chewing gum or eating all your hear is the crackling sound more noticeable on the right earcup. But they do sound really good very clear not to much bass. Do you have ant type of crackling sound on your pair? It reminds me of the Audio Technica msr7 the same crackling sound

And it doesn’t have noise canceling feature! I could hear the faintest voices around me, which is a bummer. I’m returning these soon and getting one that’s more convenient for me.

    Hey idk if a lot of y’all made ur decision - but with the JBL LIVE 500 - I was chatting with their reps they said while bass forward, the bass doesn’t muddy the mids/highs but the bass is something u can feel. Personally I ain’t neva tested but I think I’m going to go with the Sennheiser 4.40BTs especially since u can get em for $80 right now from Best Buy. JBL Lives go for $99 as of now same with Best Buy.

    • @Acidreflux18
      @Acidreflux18 Před 3 lety +1

    • @drep1119
      @drep1119 Před 3 lety +1

      Relatable af tbh the ear pads on the Sennheiser HD 4.40 BT r much more comfortable - or maybe it’s the fact the clamp doesn’t feel like a vice grip on my head..? Anyway. U might really wanna get brainwavz earpads (quick google) for this set cuz I did find that after like 2+ hrs of usage 4 strictly music - the cartilage in the tips of my ears start to hurt. I had to take em off for 15-mins. I really recommend getting them as far as overall sound, portability, ez pairing, and amazing deal for only $80 (GET EM NOW @ Best Buy - not at all affiliated jst luv gud deals) vs $100+ for the 500s. It’s far from neutral for the sound btw - there’s quite a bit of bass but nowhere near levels the Beats or Sony XB series - definitely not neutral at all is my point, but quite clear and hi-res audio cuz aptX support (I think?..) is a plus I hear everything wen listening to music ranging frm RHCP, Title Fight, UGK, Babyface Ray, Pink Floyd, The Weeknd, ummm...shit idk - u can pretty much listen to ANYTHING on these and it’ll sound great! - if u only care bout clarity, don’t mind wired, and r okay w/open back VS closed back - I HIGHLY recommend the Phillips SHP9500s. I’ve had those babies 4 3yrs now. But only gud for @ home usage really.. (sorry 4 long post.. 🙏🏽 🎧)

    Obviously when you use them wired you don't need to charge them, right?

    Is there a size difference between the JBL Live 500BT and the 650BTNC? Sound difference?
    I prefer the color of the 500BT with the gray accents compared to the gunmetal ones on the 650s.
    I would love to see a comparison video. Good job on this btw! :)
