Will this headset operate properly with a 2 stripe jack (meant for stereo no mic) or just the same 3 stripe jacked cord it comes with? Wanting to use it to monitor audio from a mixer but it doesn't work with the 3 ring cable it comes with.

Our JBL Live 500BT only works with 3 stripes and may need to use a 3rd party adapter if you want to connect it to your monitor audio.

Does this support aptx and is it hi res?

This headphone does not support aptX, aptX HD, aptX Low Latency audio codecs.

What amps/voltage output are acceptable for a usb charging device? I don't want to use something too powerful and destroy the battery.

You can use a power rating of 5v/1A USB adapter to charge your JBL Live 500BT.

How to re-upgrade firmware? I follow the app to update firmware form 5.2.0 to 6.2.0, when it's done, I found that I can't shutdown the headphone. When I shutdown, it will reopen after 5 seconds, until I plug-in usb cable, it just can be shutdown finally.

Curious as to why any sound profile I create on the JBL Headphones app is considerably quieter than the preset ones (Jazz, Bass & Vocal) that come preloaded on the app?

The charging cable that came with my live 500 is not a USB. It has a divider in the center of it. Can I use a cable with a standard USB connector on this or do I need to purchase an adapter?

Our JBL Live 500BT's Cable is a USB cable that can be used in either direction so there won't be a "wrong way" of inserting it. You can use a standard USB connector to charge our headphones with no problems. If you have more questions, please contact us. https://bit.ly/2zwFkYM

How do i can actually turn the headset off... i keep sliding it, makes the sound, turns off, only to turn on again couple of seconds later...

Hi there, we're here to help you out. The only thing you need to do to turn off the headphones is to slide the power switch once. If it turns on automatically, there could be something wrong in it. If the issue persists, please reach out to us here: http://www.jbl.com/support-contact.html

Is there a possibility to change the ear cushion to smaller/on ear?

No there is no way to change the ear cushion.

palexmd54

How does the power switch work? I just opened the box and can't the power switch to slide into the "ON" position.

Hi there, it doesn't necessarily need to be on the 'On' side for the JBL Live 500BT to turn on, you just need to slide it up so you can hear the sound on the headphones indicating that it's turned on. If you're still experiencing problems, please submit a case request and so we can assist you: www.jbl.com/support-contact.html
