If you’re experiencing intermittent connectivity issues with your JBL Tune 510BT headphones, you’re not alone. Many users have reported challenges with connecting and maintaining a stable Bluetooth connection with these popular wireless earbuds. Below, we explore a common scenario and provide insights to help troubleshoot and resolve the problem.

Scenario Overview:
