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.

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.

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. Mialem ten problem na 2 komputerach marki Lenovo zaktualizowanie sterownikow bluetooth pomoglo. Oprocz tego spróbowa warto reset sluchawek (przytrzymaj + i przez kilka sekund gdy sluchawki sa wlaczone ale nie sparowane z niczym), lub ponownie sparowa urzdzenie usun z listy sparowanych urzdze w panelu sterowania po czym ponownie spróbowa je sparowa.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
