The JBL Tune 520C USB-C in Blue is the everyday-carry pair for people who do not want one more thing to charge. There is no battery and no Bluetooth here - a flat USB-C cable plugs straight into a phone, tablet, laptop or handheld console, and an on-board DSP chipset carries a full 96 kHz/24-bit Hi-Res digital signal to two 32 mm dynamic drivers. At 150 g and folding flat, they disappear into a bag between uses.

Key features & benefits

Hi-Res digital audio
The built-in DSP chipset decodes up to 96 kHz/24-bit, so you hear the detail in high-resolution files instead of a compressed approximation of them.

JBL Pure Bass Sound from 32 mm drivers
A pair of 32 mm dynamic drivers gives the low end weight and punch without smearing the vocals sitting above it.

Pure USB-C connection - nothing to charge
Digital audio and power both travel down the one cable, so the headphones are always ready. No battery means no charging routine and no dead pair halfway through a flight.

Three-button remote with microphone
Answer calls, play and pause, skip tracks and change the volume without reaching for your phone; the inline mic keeps voices clear on calls.

Switchable EQ presets
Stay on the balanced default, pick Bass for more energy, or choose Vocal to lift the midrange for podcasts and calls - switched from the remote itself.

Padded on-ear comfort
Soft on-ear cushions and a padded headband keep the pressure low enough for a full day of study or desk work.

Foldable design
The cups fold flat so the headphones lie against the side of a bag rather than taking up a corner of it.

Tangle-free flat cable
The 120 cm flat cable resists knots and has a reinforced connection at the earcup, the place cheap headphone cables usually fail first.

Connectivity & compatibility

Wired USB-C only - there is no Bluetooth and no 3.5 mm jack. Works with USB-C phones, tablets, Windows and macOS laptops, and USB-C handheld gaming devices that support USB audio output. Because USB-C audio implementation varies between devices, check your device supports USB audio before purchase; JBL publishes a compatibility guide for the Tune 520C. The 120 cm cable is fixed to the left earcup.

What's in the box

• 1 x JBL Tune 520C USB-C wired on-ear headphones (Blue)
• 1 x Warranty and warning leaflet

Care & safety

These headphones are not water resistant - keep them away from rain, sweat-heavy workouts and washing machines. Wipe the earcushions with a soft, slightly damp cloth and let them dry fully before storing. Fold them rather than stretching the headband over a monitor or hook. Unplug by the connector body, never by pulling the cable, and avoid winding the cable tightly around the cups. Listening at high volume for long periods can damage hearing; keep the level moderate, especially on calls.

Who it suits

Students, commuters and desk workers who want reliable sound with zero maintenance, and gamers on USB-C handhelds who want a wired connection with no latency. If you want to move around untethered, the wireless JBL Tune 530BT is the model to look at instead - the 520C is deliberately a cable-only pair.
