FAQS
What the difference between live and tune
Has in-line control panel, better bluetooth version, has a 3.5mm male connector, more battery power, sound pressure level and less weight
They work on all my Bluetooth devices.
No. Just charger
These are wireless and do not have a jack for headphone cable
No
It has Bluetooth, not sure if 5.0
The battery is already in the headphones. It’s rechargeable headphones. Plug and charge.
These are the same, honestly idk why. They retail for $49.95 on JBL website
Yes they are.
Yes, you can.
Xbox does not utilize Bluetooth, so these by default will not work as a wireless headset with your Xbox. However, they can be wired to your controller using the headphone jack on the bottom side to allow use semi-wirelessly while playing. I am unsure however if the online chat function would work in addition to the game audio when going this route.
Don’t know you let me know why

Can’t find the charging cable and can’t find any specs for a new one. What’s the secret?
The cable is widely available on ebay, it is a short
cable with micro USB on one end, and normal USB on the other. Use your computer to charge from. Or, you could a wall transformer with micro USB output connector, supplying 5 VDC. The headphones contain the regulation which automatically cuts off when the battery is fully charged.
Mine’s a short cable with a ” C type connector ” on one end, and the normal USB on the other. JBL Tune 500 BT.
Hello.
I bought this headset and configured it on my windows laptop.
Microsoft Teams is my official communicator for chat and calls.
When I try to use the headset along with microsoft teams , the call voice is very distorted , as in some alien is speaking.
The voice is fine if I am connected to laptop and listening music on youtube.
It also works fine when connected to mobile phone.
The issue is particularly with Microsoft Teams on Windows 10. I also have Teams on my phone , there as well it works fine for Voice calls.
hi i have the exact same problem. is there a solution? thanks antonio
ciao io ho lo stesso identico problema. esiste la soluzione? grazie antonio
I had this problem on 2 Lenovo computers – updating the bluetooth drivers helped. In addition, it is worth trying to reset the headphones (hold + and – for a few seconds when the headphones are turned on but not paired with anything), or re-pair the device – remove it from the list of paired devices in the control panel and then try to pair them again.
Miałem ten problem na 2 komputerach marki Lenovo – zaktualizowanie sterownikow bluetooth pomoglo. Oprocz tego spróbować warto reset słuchawek (przytrzymaj + i – przez kilka sekund gdy sluchawki sa wlaczone ale nie sparowane z niczym), lub ponownie sparować urządzenie – usunąć z listy sparowanych urządzeń w panelu sterowania po czym ponownie spróbować je sparować.
Don’t you know how to put these headphones into pairing mode?
Czy nie wiesz jak włączyć te słuchawki w tryb parowania ?
Hold the volume up and middle buttons at the same time
Thanks for the manual! Sometimes, I have to look at it to figure out what to do. I’m a bit forgetful at times. Well, there were some spelling mistakes, according to me.
I would like a manual for the JBL live 500 BT-LE how to connect these headphones to the Ipad Air aa.

After a few hours of charging, the led continues to flash red, the headphones do not work and they are new, just purchased at Media Markt …
Po kilku godzinach ładowania led dalej miga na czerwono, słuchawki nie działają a są nowe właśnie zakupione w Media Markt…
I am not able to pair on two devices simultaneously, and worse I was able to do this until yesterday. What could have happened? I keep thinking that maybe it’s paired with some device that I’m not aware of. Would it be possible from the headset to unpair all devices that it may be connected to and then do the pairings again?
Não estou conseguindo parear em dois dispositivos simultaneamente, e pior que estava conseguindo fazer isso até ontem. O que pode ter acontecido? Fico pensando que talvez esteja emparelhado com algum dispositivo que eu não estou ciente. Teria como a partir do fone tirar o emparelhamento de todos os dispositivos que ele pode estar conectado e daí eu fazer de novo os emparelhamentos?
I have about 6 months with these headphones, I liked them a lot, but the right hearing aid no longer works.
Yo tengo cerca de los 6 meses con estos audifonos, me gustaron mucho, pero ya no les funciona el audicular derecho.
You must hard reset these, contact JBL
My hearing aids turn off after only a few seconds, I turn it on again and the problem continues, when I turn it on it connects with my cell phone, but after a few seconds it turns off, this always repeats
Mis audífonos se apagan después de solo algunos segundos, lo enciendo de nuevo y sigue el problema, cuando lo prendo se conecta con mi celular, pero luego de algunos segundos se apaga, esto repite siempre
same problem of metallic audio with use of video call programs.
on youtube or to listen to audio and video on pc everything is ok.
connected to other devices works fine.
It is incredible that in 2021 there are still these problems on devices that could also use children.
I am sorry but I am forced to advise against the purchase of the product to others for the problems described above.
stesso problema dell’audio metallico con utilizzo di programmi per video chiamata.
su youtube o per ascoltare audio e video su pc tutto ok.
connesso a altri dispositivi funziona bene.
è incredibile che nel 2021 ci siano ancora questi problemi su dispositivi che potrebbero usare anche bambini.
mi dispiace ma sono costretto a sconsigliare acquisto del prodotto ad altri per i problemi sopra descritti.
Hello,
Are the ear cushions replaceable? And if yes, how ?
Thank you
Bonjour,
Les coussinets des écouteurs sont ils remplaçables ? Et si oui comment ?
Merci
I can’t figure out how to reset.
It happens more than a few times that I do not pair the headphones on the phone, or it does not find the connection or when I press on the JBL 500bt it fails to pair.
What should I do?
Non riesco a capire come fare il reset.
Mi capita più di qualche volta che non accoppi le cuffie sul telefono, o non trova la connessione oppure quando premo su JBL 500bt non lo riesce ad associare.
Cosa devo fare?
It will be simple, but I am unable to connect the headphones to my smartphone. Bvd.
Het zal wel simpel zijn, maar het lukt mij niet om de hoofdtelefoon te koppelen aan mijn smartphone. Bvd.
I don’t understand why the sound can only be heard from a headset.
Non capisco perché il sonoro si sente solo da una cuffia.
Computer sound settings. If you go into the advanced settings you should be able to select mutliple outputs, depending on your computer sound card configuration.
Monitoring, entertainment, and PA systems have sound cards designed for multiple outputs, but most computers or devices use a single output source because most users don’t use headphones that way.
Red light goes out while charging and headphones cannot be charged. Why is it?
Rote Leuchte geht während des Ladevorgangs aus und Kopfhörer kann nicht geladen werden. Woran liegt es?
I was wondering if it is possible to pair 2 Tune 500bt together, like u can with Flip 3, 4, 5 so 2 people can listen to the same music at the same time. If not is it possible to compliment it via a software update?
I still haven’t figured out jiw to switch between two devices. How do I do this?
I know a picture is supposed to be worth a thousand words, but detail is easier to convey in written form that users can understand. They went through the trouble of printing on all the legal stuff in 15 languages, they could have done the same for operating instructions.
Few weeks back I bought this Headphone mainly to work with my Dell laptop for MS Teams communication. For the very first time it got connected to both devices (1st – Laptop, 2nd – Mobile). Then few days later when I tried to connect with my mobile, the headset never got discovered in the mobile device. And today when I reset the headphone, my mobile able to discover this and able to connect.
Now the problem is, this headset is not discovered by the laptop ( 🙁 )… Strange.
Why is it so ? How to resolve this ? Please help.
I have almost the same problem. The difference is that it is not discoverable by my dell laptop while it was connected to it before and I was using it for one week.

Hi,
I am trying to connect my JBL 500 BT to my MacBook. It gets paired and the output is working well (meaning I can hear using the speakers). However, the input sound is not working. When I talk using JBL, no one can hear it. from Mac’s System Preference > Sound, the input device selected is JBL 500 bt. However, when I test the input sound level, nothing happens. Only initially, when the connection is made, then once the soundbars flicker, but not anymore. I tried factory resetting the headphones and pair again, but with no result. The headphone charge is around 55% and the OS is macOS Big Sur. Please help. Thanks.

I have problem with JBL 500BT
It’s pairing and unpairing automatically every 5 min.while playing time it is fully changed. It is one year old it’s any battery issue?please help me
I purchased a set of JBL TUNE500BT headphones recently and have had good use up until a week or so ago, when the left hand ear phone faded out to nothing over the course of a few hours. There does not appear to be any troubleshooting information in the manual to give a clue as to what might have happened. Unfortunately, because I am currently overseas for several months, I don’t have access to the supplier in Australia to assess the condition and/or replace the unit under warranty.
Hi. Everytime I’m running or skipping the headphones keep on cutting out ,why does that happen? is there a way for it to stop?.
