If you're in need of some cheap wireless headphones, the Black Friday deals have got you covered. Amazon has slashed the price of the already affordable JBL Tune 520BT wireless headphones in half, bringing them down to just $30.

While these may not have all the bells and whistles of premium or mid-range headphones, they're a good pick for anyone looking to get an affordable name-brand option. JBL says they'll get up to 57 hours of battery life, while they also have a comfortable design that's easy to fold up and stow when not in use. Like most modern headphones, they also include built-in microphones for hands-free calling and voice commands, as well as physical buttons for controlling playback and volume.

✅Recommended if: you're looking for a really cheap pair of headphones without compromising too much on overall audio quality; you prefer headphones that are easy to fold up and store when you aren't using them; you want a pair of headphones that have a long battery life and fast USB-C charging.

❌Skip this deal if: you're looking to get the best JBL headphones on the market, or those from another brand, and you have the money to pay mid-range or premium prices; you need headphones with active noise cancellation, ambient mode, or other modern features found in higher-end headphones;

JBL launched the 520BT headphones last year, coming as the latest of the company's economy-level wireless headphones.

While they don't come with certain features like ANC or ambient sound modes, they do feature JBL's signature Pure Bass sound, as well as access to EQ and other audio customization settings. They also include a smaller set of ear cups than many of today's wireless headphones, as well as a foldable design that makes them super portable.

Beyond that, they can get up to 57 hours of battery life per charge, making them a great pick for anyone who plans to use them for long periods of time. They also feature USB-C fast charging, with a 5-minute charge replenishing around 3 hours of listening time.
