Anyone else experiencing sounding like a robot when trying to use the mic for calls from a pc?

Asked by: char0402
connects to PC as 2 devices: headphones and headset. Works fine when output device chosen headphones, but when you choose headset the sound quality is like robotic. Theoretically you could use it as headphones, but in this you cannot use microphone. And you also cannot split output and input devices between headset and headphones, if you select microphone from headset but speakers from headphones, your microphone will work but you won't hear anything.

Can I use a Fast charging usb plug on these or will that break the battery or degrade the battery life?

Asked by: onePunchMickey119
As long as it is a Micro USB cable, you can use any charging cable with the headphones. Our JBL Tune 500BT has a lithium-ion battery so you don&rsquo;t have to worry about battery the battery degrading or breaking.

THEY ARE COMPATIBLE WITH PS4

Asked by: wolf85
Correction: Our JBL TUNE 500BT CANNOT be paired with the PS4 directly through Bluetooth since it does not have the compatible drivers to connect to it wirelessly. It is the JBL TUNE 500 - Wired On-Ear headphones that can be hooked to the wireless controller of your PS4. For the audio to work, go to the Settings on the PS menu, then go to Devices, then select Audio Devices . After this, select output to Headphones. With your headphones plugged in, select &quot;All Audio&quot; and the audio should now be coming out of your headphones and you would be able to use the built-in microphone on the headphones.
