  • Yes, these headphones can be connected and paired to two devices at the same time.
  • Yes, these headphones can be connected and paired to two devices at the same time.
  • Yes, the Focus 500/700 features a 3 button mic that features, pause/play, track and volume control.
  • To power on the device, place one of the headphones inside your ear and press and hold the center button on the inline mic. You should hear the audible voice stating, “powering on” and a blue blinking light should appear at the top of the inline mic. If this is your first time connecting to a device, it should immediately go into pairing mode. The device should recognize the Focus 500/700 Wireless headphone. Once you select that option, the audible voice should state, “connected”. If you are trying to connect to a different device, turn the headphones on and press and hold for 3-5 seconds for the headphones to start searching for a different device. The headphones should appear on your discoverable devices within a few seconds. You should hear the audible voice stating, “powering on….looking for device” You will see the Bluetooth light alternate between red and blue when it is in pairing mode. Once connected the Bluetooth will change to a flashing LED light and the audible voice will state, “connected”.
  • By habit, we try to shove earbuds into our ear canals in attempts to get them to stay in. The 500 Series headphone is a completely different concept. The tip of the enhancer (ear tip) should funnel gently down into the ear canal and the base of the enhancer should fill the entire concha (bowl) of your ear. If there is still quite a bit of space between the back of the enhancer, and the back of the bowl of the ear, there is nothing to support it and it will eventually fall out. Typically larger sizes will fill the extra space inside the concha. We recommend trying both sizes featured in the packaging. If you are still experiencing fit issues, please reach out to your local JBL Customer Support for information regarding different sizing options.
  • No. Although the Focus 500 can be exposed to some water and sweat, overexposure can cause significant damage to the headphones and can compromise the controls.
  • The only difference between the 500 and 700 series is that the 700 model provides you with a charging case. The features and functionality on the actual headphones themselves are the same.
  • The standard size that comes on all Endurance Series models is the size 5. There are other sizes 6, 7, and 8 available on the yurbuds accessories and enhancers page that you can purchase for $10. Shipping and Handling is included.
