Okay, let me start by saying I’m not the most graceful person. I drop things. A lot. And yet, these JBL Tune 525BT headphones have survived my clumsiness better than their predecessors. The buttons don’t break as easily now—huge win!

The sound? Solid. I’m no audiophile, but the bass hits deep (JBL Pure Bass lives up to the hype), and everything else sounds crisp enough for my playlists. Battery life is insane—57 hours?! I charge them maybe twice a week, and that 5-minute speed charge is a lifesaver when I forget to plug them in overnight.

Comfort upgrade: The headband used to stretch out over time, making them slide off mid-bend. Now? They stay put. Still stretchy, but no more embarrassing headphone-drops during yoga.

For the price? Absolute steal. Sturdy, comfy, great sound—I’ll probably break them eventually (let’s be real), but I’ll buy another pair in a heartbeat.
