How long does a full charge take?

Are these headphones water-resistant?
The JBL Tune 520 does not have an official IP rating, so it is recommended to keep them away from heavy rain or excessive moisture.

Yes, you can trigger your device's native voice assistant using the control buttons on the earcups.
Is the headband adjustable?
Yes, the headband features a sliding mechanism to ensure a comfortable fit for various head sizes.

Troubleshooting
Headphones will not pair with my phone
Ensure the headphones are in pairing mode and check that your phone's Bluetooth is toggled on. If persistent, perform a factory reset by holding the volume up and down buttons for five seconds while the unit is on.
Sound quality sounds unbalanced
Open the JBL Headphones App and check if the EQ settings have been inadvertently adjusted. Reset the EQ to 'Flat' or 'Default' to restore baseline sound.
Battery is draining faster than expected
Check if multi-point connectivity is maintaining two active connections simultaneously, which consumes more power, and ensure the firmware is updated via the app.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, power on the headphones by pressing the power button and follow your device's Bluetooth menu to pair. Download the JBL Headphones App to manage firmware updates and EQ adjustments. Compatibility spans all major platforms including iOS, Android, and Windows. To maintain the headphones, wipe the ear cushions with a dry microfiber cloth after use to prevent sweat buildup. Keep the device in a cool, dry place and fold them carefully along the hinges when transporting them to avoid structural stress. Avoid exposing the internal battery to extreme temperatures to ensure long-term charging health.
