The headset is primarily made up of plastic, at this price point this is to be expected although this does not feel particularly weak or cheap, it does help with the weight, The padded headband, is minimal but not too thin or too thick and does not leave you feeling as though the headphones are digging in to your skull with any excess pressure or too light to feel unsupported. In short, I would say it's not perfect but just about right, personally I would like a slightly thicker but softer padding especially for long sessions. The ear cups themselves appear to be made from a faux leather outer while the memory foam inners make for not only a very comfortable fit but a secure seal and amazing external noise isolation. I was able to sit with these on for nearly 8 hours straight during a normal gaming session and they remained comfortable and secure throughout. Now for the sound, I had high expectations, having owned JBL in-ears I knew the sound profile to typically have a bass heavy orientation out of the box while still remaining clear through the rest of the sound stage. I expected much the same here and I was not disappointed. First I tried via USB which I believe will be most peoples use case and how I feel you can get the most out of these headphones. I started with the spatial sound turned off where I was met with a nice even sound profile that felt a little flat overall, left and right channels merged and didn't leave me feeling "present" in the scene be it in game, watching a movie or listening to music. Turning the spatial sound on to their QuantumSURROUND profile though was a totally different story, the sound stage instantly expanded, audio became much clearer and the positional cues were nearly perfect, I have used virtual surround profiles on headphones before and always preferred them to be off as I found them to be fatiguing and distracting but not here! You have various profiles as well, I would recommend the clarity for movies and music as this feels like it gives a more balanced audio profile across the full range without making any one area overpowering or too subtle. For gaming, my go to profile is FPS, this keeps the punches from the low bass noticeable and enhances the normally lower volume noises which I feel balances out the sound stage in most games and you begin to appreciate the sounds you may have missed previously (or with the surround turned off) The microphone is a bit of a hit and miss, it is clear, very clear in fact and as someone who is more softly spoken, it picked up my voice without issues and my teammates commented that it came through without any obvious distortion via Discord although did leave me sounding a little flat, think more telephone conversation than professional quality but what matters is it was clear, it was loud and there is no need for anything more while in the middle of a firefight! Now on to the not so good: As mentioned earlier, the microphone is a little shorter than I'm used to, this leaves the red LED band a little useless as it is out of sight so I am unable to see at a glance if I'm audible or not, this is easily overcome by using the flip up feature to turn off the microphone so this is very minor.

The sound stage via USB on the PC is good out of the box and amazing with the QuantumSURROUND feature turned on. The microphone is loud and clear, my only issue is there is no noise cancellation from the JBL software itself but easily remedied by using software specific noise cancellation which most applications have these days, I would still like to see this supported by the JBL software suite. be... confusing but handy.

The JBL Quantum 100 headset is great for its price. The drivers provide adequate audio quality with a good sound stage. The microphone is excellent, surpassing those on the higher end JBL models and with the perk of being detachable. There are two downsides with this headset. The first is that it's fragile and can break fairly easily, so handle and store it with care. The second is the 3.5mm cable is somewhat short. However, extension cables can be bought and the headset should last if handled with care. I broke my first pair and intend to get another because they do an excellent job for the money.

Bought these headphones only a few days ago, as my brother got the JBL Quantum 400s, but I needed something cheaper, that was still compatible with my system. I saw how good quality my brother's were, so decided to go with the same brand, as I expected the quality to still be high. As soon as I plugged these in they didn't work. I mainly want to use them for speaking with friends via discord, or using voice chat, however the headset has a lot of echo, and also repeats game audio through the headset, and it's incredibly difficult to communicate with my friends. Other than the very large drawback, they work fantastically as a pair of comfortable headphones, with very good material arounds the cups, as when I put them on, I can hardly even hear the outside world. ...

TLDR: Good as headphones, terrible as a headset, with faulty connector.

I have these headsets for a year now and I finally have to retired them today. What separate brands like JBL or other companies that specializes in audio hardware compared to gaming headset is that these companies makes great sounding headphones. These quantum 200 has better sound quality and better bass than all of the high end gaming headsets that I had over the years. The sound quality on these headphones are so good that you can game, watch movies and listen to music with clarity. Now this is where these headphones needs to improve. The mic quality is not the greatest. There are moments where I am gaming with friends and at times they will tell me they have a hard time hearing me or my mic sound is too low.

The sound quality on these headphones are so good that you can game, watch movies and listen to music with clarity. Now this is where these headphones needs to improve. The mic quality is not the greatest. There are moments where I am gaming with friends and at times they will tell me they have a hard time hearing me or my mic sound is too low. Next thing these headphones can improve and this is the main reason why I have to retire them it's the durability. The plastic on these headphones are fragile. I accidently drop the headphones for the first time and the adjustable part on the right side snapped leaving the right ear cups hanging loose from the headband. Also the sound on the right side is now dead too. Overall these headphones have great sound quality, but handle them with care because they might break. In conclusion I don't mind buying these again.
This JBL product has remarkably good sound for an inexpensive headphone set. The cord attached is sturdy (very important!) but rather short. I purchased a 3.5 mm male to female extension cord to use with this headphone. The volume control is located on the earpiece, not inline with the cable like some gaming headsets. The ear cups are comfortable, but the spring on the top band is a bit stiff which can cause some issues for extended use. As with any good fitting headphone of this type. external noises are severely attenuated. I primarily use this to listen to music, I like that the microphone is detachable and separate from the headset, so if you don't use it, you don't need to have it in your face. I think that extended wearing for several hours would be a bit of a ... MoreThis JBL product has remarkably good sound for an inexpensive headphone set.

I think that extended wearing for several hours would be a bit of a struggle because of the tight fit, so I would not recommend it for extending gaming, or as a headset for those who are telephonic customer service representatives. But it is great for listening to music!
So, I actually have the white set (store grabbed wrong item for my online order), but functionally, should be the same. Preface, my use for these is causal listening to videos and music while programming, and mainly for doing voice overs for tutorial videos I started getting into. I'm not an audiophile, and don't need high end mic pickup. I was very impressed with how these fit. They completely cover my ear, with the pads fully resting on my head, with my ears completely inside untouched. So after hours of wear, ears were not bothered at all. Sound quality was really good considering the price point. Yeah, $150+ sets will sound better, but for $30... I love having a detachable microphone, and that when in use it does stay in the place you put it well, no noise from ...

I love having a detachable microphone, and that when in use it does stay in the place you put it well, no noise from head movement. My big issue with older set was the mic was inline in the cord, so any movement where it brushed against anything, that was picked up. Another unexpected bonus, as the ear pieces can turn sideways and lay flat, when I just need the microphone I can turn them that way, dropping the set down and letting ear pieces rest on collarbone, and position the mic to pick up great for voice over recording. Still comfortable, I don't feel like it is choking me hanging around my neck. The build of them, again, for the price not bad. For people who sling them around a bunch, I could see where there would be potential for joints to wear out and possibly break. But if you are being decent with them, I don't see an issue. Volume level could be a better, I have a cheap $15 set I had been using for a while, and they are louder, but the sound range is not as good. I do plan on picking up a $20 headset amp for these for the few times I do want "jam" to some music a little loud. One final note on the microphone. In testing the recording level of these compared to my cheap $15 headphone set and a couple other mics, I had music playing while doing it, and noticed on playback, during the quiet parts of the recording I could hear what was playing during the recording. It wasn't really loud, and for general use (ie talking with people live), probably not going to make a difference or noticed by others, but for recording voice overs, I will be sure not to have anything playing. The cheap headphone set also has the same issue, which surprised me, as it's mic is 5" down from headset in the cord itself. My cheap earbud/boom mic device, no playback audio picked up during recording. So for the price, I'm very happy with these, and would recommend them for causal use like I am doing.
By the begining of 2020 I had already heard a tremendous amount of positive feedback about JBL. They were top of the line for sound at a good price. Sadly When i bought those headphones at my local Bestbuy in the summer 2020 i was on for some of the worst experience. The positive: the sound quality is insane 10/10 unbeatable, but everything else about it is bad. First the computer Drivers would crash at random moments and this was during covid when zooms and discord were important. The sound of the computer would stop until Windows would start a troubleshoot which could take a few minutes. It was faster to restart the computer. It got fixed only a year after my purchased. I was up for no good. The Headset was really flimsy and weak around the earflap. My last ... MoreBy the begining of 2020 I had already heard a tremendous amount of positive feedback about JBL.

The sound of the computer would stop until Windows would start a troubleshoot which could take a few minutes. It was faster to restart the computer. It got fixed only a year after my purchased. I was up for no good. The Headset was really flimsy and weak around the earflap. My last headset last me 5 years, never broke and are still holding. It broke after a year and I had to tape it so it would'nt hang over by the cable risking to break wholly. since the begining the cable started to get messy and tangly since it was'nt made of rubber but of a new type of material which was stronger but did create a lot of difficult knots, twists and general inconfort. After a while the end of the cable that would fit in the headphone started to be unstable. It would dislodge itself when my head would move just a little bit. It would'nt drop but only temporary lose connection and the sound for a few seconds. It became increasingly annoying since the sound would simply stop until i disconnect the cable and reconnect it to the headphone or the computer Finally the cable gave up before I did It burned because of his compulsive need of being reconnected to the headphone. JBL makes great speakers, let me say it a second time because people will believe i'm only here to throw shades because I would be a Fanboy of another company. They are the best on the market but the gaming headphones are a big failure, lots of cool feature but terribly manufactured. Sincerely not worth it.
Purchased JBL Quantum 400 headphones from Harvey Norman Maroochydore on 26/12/21. The plastic on the headphones above the earcups deteriorated after just 1 month leaving the earcups hanging only by the wire and rendering the set unusable. Noticed the right side was 'gone' on Saturday afternoon and when packaging them up for return on Sunday morning (today) the left side crumbled away. Harvey Norman staff refused a refund claiming that the issue was a result of 'damage'. The section that disintegrated is just above the earcups and physically can't be incidentally 'damaged' by contact with any surfaces: the earcups (when not dangling by the cord as they are now) kept that section of plastic raised. When pointing out this impossibility in response to the 'damage' claim ... MorePurchased JBL Quantum 400 headphones from Harvey Norman Maroochydore on 26/12/21.

When pointing out this impossibility in response to the 'damage' claim in a follow up phone call to the store, Harvey Norman staff subsequently claimed the 'damage' could have been caused when putting the set on and off (ie: normal use) or 'bending them back too far'. This subsequent claim just reinforces that the set is defective/poor quality and not fit for purpose. There is already a 1 star review on for this headset from 7 months ago outlining ***exactly the same fault*** which also occurred a month after purchase making the issue a known defect. Also static noise is an issue with this set but obviously not as much of an issue as the dangling ear cups/deteriorating plastic!
This product is marketed as a headset, however it is abysmal at performing it's job. While the headset works fantastically as headphones, and sound quality is superb, you're hardly ever able to hear it through the feedback, and constant noise coming through the headset, whether from the awful wire, faulty connectors or just the headphones doing their own thing. The microphone is awful as well. It is barely usable, it just flat out DOES NOT WORK. The built in flip to mute feature DOES NOT WORK. My friends are constantly hearing feedback through this headset, and from my games too. Dreadful product do not recommend.
My 11 year old son bought these headphones with his own a few months ago and the sound started cutting out a few weeks in and the only way to get the sound back is to uninstall the the JBL app and then connect headphones via USB and it would start working again. These headphones are very comfortable and offer great sound when they work but with the sound randomly stopping every few days it renders them almost usefulness, very unreliable, and a very frustration experience. I work in IT and I've personally tried to use these headphones for work calls on multiple laptops and they regularly just stop working. Seriously, any chance of a refund or swap for alternate headphones? We wanted these to work so bad but they have fallen well below expectations. Many thanks
