The JBL Tune 520C are lightweight, foldable USB-C on-ear headphones delivering Hi-Res 96kHz/24bit sound and JBL Pure Bass from 32mm drivers with an inline mic and three-button remote.

Designed for everyday listening, the JBL Tune 520C combines portable comfort with a direct USB-C digital connection so you can plug into laptops, phones, tablets and gaming devices without adapters. These wired headphones fold flat for easy storage, use a flat tangle-resistant cable, and provide selectable EQ presets for Bass, Vocal or a balanced profile—so your playlists sound better whether you’re commuting, working from home, or gaming.

How do the JBL Tune 520C deliver better audio through USB-C?

The Tune 520C uses a built-in DSP chipset to support Hi-Res 96kHz/24bit audio over the USB-C connection, preserving digital detail and wider frequency response compared with typical analog outputs. That means clearer highs, fuller mids, and deep bass from the 32mm dynamic drivers.

• Hi-Res 96kHz/24bit digital playback via USB-C
• 32mm dynamic drivers tuned for JBL Pure Bass impact
• DSP chipset reduces digital-to-analog losses

What controls and call features are included for daily use?

A three-button inline remote and microphone give you simple hands-on control for calls and music without touching your device. Use the center button for play/pause and call handling, while the volume buttons adjust audio level and navigate EQ presets for instant tonal changes.

• Inline microphone for clear voice calls
• Three-button remote: play/pause, volume up/down, call management
• Quick EQ preset switching (Default, Bass, Vocal) from the remote
