Know before you buy
Yes, the JBL C50HI is compatible with both Android and iOS devices. The 3.5mm plug allows for a direct connection to any device with a standard headphone jack.
Yes, they feature an in-line microphone and a one-button universal remote, allowing you to answer and manage calls hands-free without needing to touch your phone.
The headphones come with three different sizes of ear tips. We recommend trying each size to find the one that creates the best seal in your ear canal, which improves both comfort and sound quality.
No, the JBL C50HI does not have active noise cancellation. They rely on the physical seal of the ear tips to provide passive noise isolation.
The cable length is 1.2 meters, which is a standard length that provides enough slack for everyday use while keeping the wire manageable.
