JBL Quantum 100 - Wired Over-Ear Gaming Headphones - Black Large

I believe I have a previous model, which is what this review is for if the model was updated. My mic has a foam tip but this is what was on my previous orders list. I recently bought a Zoom PodTrak P4 and it came in a set with Zoom headphones. The audio sound on the Zoom is fine but the headphones do not adjust. I have a large head and large ears. These fit my head well and stay in place. The sound quality is amazing. And the additional volume knob is really nice to have. The on/off switch is nice to isolate quickly without having to go to any app. However the set still works audibly. They are straightforward high quality headphones. I won't diminish a star for it not having a noise canceling but it would be nice if they had that, or even some sound protection function just to help isolate me from the external environment. If you don't have a problem like that, these are perfect and well worth the price. -update after some time and use I am started to notice intermittent clicking. My guess is that it is from the wire that is losing contact. It is a very thin wire cable. It isn't terrible but since it isn't able to be detached it can't be replaced. I play with the cable but can't replicate the clicks so I can't find where the break is. If there is one. These are still very good for the price. If better care is given to them, I am sure the break or the clicking can be avoided. It isn't isolated to a single device but is repeated between a sony voice recorder, my computer and my Zoom podtrak p4. so it has got to be the headphones. Read more

I'm not a fan of gaming headsets that come with their own software, have annoying bright lights, 70 mile long cables that get tangled up, and especially those little midway connectors that can control volume and come unplugged if you tug on the cable by accident. I'm happy to say this is a minimalist gaming headset that fits exactly what my needs are. The headset is comfortable (it is slightly tight like the other reviews said, but I personally prefer that type of fit), the microphone sounds surprisingly good and clear for the price (I have a deeper voice and people noted how much deeper my voice sounded compared to my old headset) and can bend and stay in place where you need it. You just need to buy a $6 TRRS to dual TRS headphone/mic splitter if your computer has separate headphone/mic ports. (I just bought the one that was listed as frequently bought together and it worked fine.) I can see what people are saying about the plastic build quality being susceptible to cracking, as I've done this by accident with an old headset, but if you don't rip your headphones off your head with one hand like an animal you shouldn't have a problem. The audio quality of the headphones is totally acceptable for the price range. Yes it is a little boomy in the low mids, but if you just EQ your audio output that can be reduced and molded to your preference anyway, and the result is a very nice and punchy bass sound. I see reviews that say the sound is better on xyz headphones, but those other brands being compared to are in the $100 range at least. Either way, if you have the expectation of audiophile-tier sound quality, then why would you get a gaming headset? The only reason to get a gaming headset is to avoid the hassle/cost of setting up a separate mic and headphones so it can be all in one, knowing that you are sacrificing audio quality for the convenience. A mic small enough to attach to a headset will never come close to a LDC mic. For my money, a lower tier headset is totally fine for everyday gaming and casual music listening. For $30, I don't really know what more I could want from this product, other than maybe it coming with the TRRS to dual TRS headphone/mic splitter for my laptop's inputs. I might even buy an extra pair in case these ever go out of stock because most headsets are migrating towards bulkier and RGB laden designs I don't enjoy, and it's getting harder to find headsets that are lightweight and minimalist in their design like these are. Initially I had troubles getting Discord to recognize the mic until I realized my Realtek Audio Manager needed to manually set this as a default mic (Go to Microphone -> Set Default Device in Realtek), and I had to uncheck the awful noise suppression setting (Not the Discord one, the Realtek one) to get the full mic quality. This is also specific issues to my computer's software though and in no way reflects the product's quality, I just figured anyone else with this same problem might want the info. Read more

They have good sound quality for the price 30$ in my opinion is a good decent price for these this is my second pair you’re able to mute and unmute off the left side and your also able to turn up the volume of the game off the left side aswell the microphone itself as a windscreen and you can take it off if it’s not how you like it i personally would give it a 3.7-4 out of 5 stars bc the first pair I bought were only like 20-25$ and bc a 5 star would be the best of both worlds with a great microphone and headphones Read more
