How To Repair JBL Bluetooth Headphones

  • I hate to throw an item away until I have tried to repair it, or at least investigated the problem. These JBL 500BT bluetooth headphones were cutting out on the left side, and it turns out the pressure from the spring contacts was enough to dislodge the small circuit board. It was not clipping into place very firmly. I'm not sure if this is a common problem or not, but the fix was simply to glue the board in place. I used a spritz of accelerator and my favourite cyanoacrylate, Loctite 480, but any super glue would work.

    So glad I looked for an answer on my left speaker not working. I disassembled it and saw that the board was intact. So I looked overall and all seemed good. Last thing I did was spray contact cleaner on the board. After reassembling. I powered on and heard both speakers 🔊 Thank you for having this available. You made my day. Now I can listen totally. And listen to these bad boys when I mow my yard!!👍💛💙

    I had the same symptom, but turned out the actual speaker was open circuit. Also, I guess I have a newer version of the Tune 500BT because there were no springs; now there are soldered wires. Still, I had a second non-working pair so managed to fix this one by replacing the speaker. And would never have figured out how to open, test speaker resistance, and then replace the pad, without this video. Thanks.

      Really I'd think any 4-core cable that is flexible and the same outer diameter would work. You could probably also make 3-core shielded cable work by using the braid as the battery negative connection. You could probably re-use an old (4-core) USB cable if it's the right diameter. Good luck with the repair!

      I'm not really a headphone expert, more an audio tech person really. But I had a similar problem with mine the other day. They were very quiet with my laptop, but fine with my phone. I simply "removed device" in windows, then scanned, found, and added them again. They are fine now. Also, a few times I've had the opposite problem, where they were really loud and the windows volume slider did nothing. The fix was to change the "absolute volume" setting in windows. I hope this helps mate!
