Nothing to lose, just order them, if you don’t like, JBL has free shipping and free returns.Any of you have these? For $25 they're almost free for what they offer on paper... I've looked at lots of models in JBL line-up, but wonder if something cheap like JBL 510BT is still ok for daily use. Or is there a different model that is absolutely worth the premium? Main requirements are basically it has to be Bluetooth, at least a 10hr true battery life (JBL 510BT claims 40hrs, but idk if I believe that) and it can't be the in-ear pieces. On ear or over the ear only, but can't pick the exact model without trying, so hopefully some of you here have actual experience with these headphones and can point me in the right direction.JBL Tune 510BT | Wireless on-ear headphones

Not too much more expensive.I'd be all over that if they were over-ear instead of on-ear.
Nice find though. Thanks for posting.
Weird, ours are pretty comfy on the ears. I wonder if by "similar" you mean looks the same, but is a different brand. Because that would explain the comfort issue... We got no complaint yet with the JBL 510BT.I got a pair that was similar as a giveaway. Never really used it. I guess it's OK but on the ear isn't all that comfortable.
I ended up getting a Sony WH-CH710N, which can be used via Bluetooth or wired through cable to a jack (not USB). The charging is only via USB and it can't operate while it's charging, but it can work passively.
Works great, but my only complaint is that the plastic on the inside of the bands has cracked and/or broken off. Still works though. Can't complain about the audio performance, but it's disappointing that it couldn't survive just normal use or transport.

Gotcha. Any USB type-C charges the ones we have. So definitely a different model.I don't remember the exact model and I never used them that much, but what I had were white JBLs. They had circular cans that sat on the outside of the ear and not ovals going over the ear. I also remember they had their own charger rather than USB to charge (I think). But overall the comfort was over the small cans. They just sat uncomfortably on my ears. I've had the same issue with other brands with a similar design - like a set of Sony headphones.
Sorry about your experience. That was definitely a fail. But hey - the ones I posted above (the 510BT model) are great and cheap, if you ever wanna give JBL a second chance. I wouldn't be recommending if they weren't good.I'm glad they stayed in one piece, I bought a pair of JBL headphones once and I swore off buying them again because the one's I bought broke really quickly because they tried to make the headband look fancy by putting a stainless accent in the top and all it did was make the headband super weak because they made the structural plastic way too weak to accomodate the steel band and the plastic broke in a few months.
I have a set of the JBL Everest Elite 700 headphones, which are also known to break. I didn't know about the weak headband until after purchase, but mine have been okay so far. I got them on clearance, so it wasn't a huge investment and they've been great so far, I'm very happy overall with the quality.I'm glad they stayed in one piece, I bought a pair of JBL headphones once and I swore off buying them again because the one's I bought broke really quickly because they tried to make the headband look fancy by putting a stainless accent in the top and all it did was make the headband super weak because they made the structural plastic way too weak to accomodate the steel band and the plastic broke in a few months.
