The JBL Quantum 810 gaming headset features an active noise-cancelling system, designed specifically for gaming environments and blocks out unwanted background noise so there's no interference during missions. Play all day and all night, with 30 hours of battery life that recharges while you play. Unlike certain other models, the JBL Quantum 810 wireless never gives up and never lets you down. Thanks to separate sound cards, you can use the Discord-certified control to set the perfect balance between game and chat audio in your headset without having to interrupt the game to do so. The JBL Quantum 610 wireless headset is compatible with PC, Playstation (PS5 and PS4) and Nintendo Switch (only when docked) via 2.4 GHz WLAN connection. JBL Quantum Engine features (JBL Quantum Surround, RGB, EQ, microphone settings, etc.) are only available on PC. Check the connectivity guide for compatibility. The wireless headset's directional, voice-focused boom mic with flip-up mute and echo cancellation ensures you're always heard loud and clear, whether you're discussing strategy with your team or just ordering a pizza. The lightweight, durable headband and high-quality, leather-wrapped memory foam ear cushions keep you comfortable no matter how long you play.

First off, I give the JBL Quantum 810 Wireless Headset a five-star review based on overall design, comfort, and sound quality.Considering the price point, it comes in on the lower side of the higher end headset market. Ultimately, it’s the perfect option for anyone in need of a high-quality headset, including serious gamers, who don’t want to break the bank.Here are some more details on why I love this headset:Design and Comfort. Like other JBL products I have reviewed, the Quantum 810 Wireless is very well made. It has a sleek look and feel and is definitely built to last.

Like other JBL products I have reviewed, the Quantum 810 Wireless is very well made. It has a sleek look and feel and is definitely built to last. Compared to other gaming headsets, this one is relatively compact in size. It’s a little on the heavier side but the padding and adjustable range makes it very comfortable. Although it felt a little tight at first, I wore it for several hours at a time and have no complaints whatsoever. Further, the volume controls on the wired connector and headset are well placed, responsive, and easy to navigate.Sound. I tested the Quantum 810 Wireless with numerous games on my PC and Xbox (only works with Xbox via wired to the controller) and was thoroughly impressed. I also connected it to my phone via Bluetooth for making calls and listening to music. On all fronts the audio was crystal clear with no lag and the noise cancelling feature makes for a very immersive experience. The microphone produces a great audio return for other gamers and works extremely well for phone calls. The range for using the dongle and Bluetooth was pretty standard. I was able to walk around freely to a few different rooms without loosing connection or degradation in the sound.Battery life. The battery life isn’t mind blowing but it lasted around 3.5 hours as specified. I did run it down a few times while gaming but was able to plug it into to a spare USB port and continued on. From full depletion, it took about an hour or so to fully charge.Additional features. The JBL Quantum Engine software application offers access to a lot of extra features including adjusting RGB LED lighting controls and effects, tweaking the microphone settings, firmware upgrades, and equalizer settings. The interface itself is easy to use and allows you to customize your experience with ease.Overall review. If you’re looking for a high-quality headset but don’t want to break the bank, definitely consider the JBL Quantum 810 Wireless Headset. The sound is awesome, it’s built well, and has a great look and feel.

I game quite a bit on various devices, so when I got the opportunity to test these out I was ecstatic. Beautiful packaging and presentation, included are a braided USB-C cable, USB Dongle for connectivity, and a 3.5mm audio cable. Wished it had a travel bag or case, but it's ok because these won't be leaving the house much.I first tried to connect it to my phone because I play a lot of mobile games. After some frustration I gave up and plugged into my Stadia controller. Playing Division 2 in these is life-changing! The 360 sound is amazing, being able to hear all of my enemies from every angle around me is vital and these definitely perform.Saints Row 3 was just as enjoyable with it's killer soundtrack, it flexes these drivers very well.

The 360 sound is amazing, being able to hear all of my enemies from every angle around me is vital and these definitely perform.Saints Row 3 was just as enjoyable with it's killer soundtrack, it flexes these drivers very well. The bass is thick and rumbly, which I want in my games, and the mids and highs are rich as well. Great quality sound as I've come to expect from JBL.I then connected to my laptop for some DOOM Eternal on Stadia through Google Chrome, and the 5.1 in these was killer! The Quantum app is extremely customizable, from EQ to RGB color you can really make these your own.I decided to try and connect to my phone again through Bluetooth, and after about 15 minutes of frustratedly attempting blindly and with the manual, I decided to watch some videos and see what info I could find online. Do I have a faulty headset? Am I just so unskilled?After about 30 minutes of digging I finally found a review that said it outright on YouTube. The 610 does NOT support Bluetooth connectivity. You have to use the USB dongle and it can only connect to PC or PlayStation. I was shattered. Apparently you have to get the 810 headset to get Bluetooth, even though there's only a $50 price difference and these are already a lot of money on their own.The sound is great, the microphone with it's auto on and off is fantastic, the build quality and comfort are too notch, so I understand the price range for these to match that. But even $60 competitors have Bluetooth connectivity. Come on, guys! I want to be able to play on my phone without having to plug in a 3.5mm cable, which my phone doesn't have a port for. I also can't use an adapter because I used a Razer Kishi controller which doesn't offer USB audio passthrough. You've basically made it impossible for me to use this on a phone or tablet where I do most of my gaming.4 out of 5 for overall quality, missing 1 star for the huge inconvenience of no Bluetooth.

Sound: Headphones sound great. I don't think it has that true JBL Signature Sound like other non-gaming JBL headphones but for a gaming headset, these are quite good, especially with the surround sound experience (the 50mm drivers make a good impact). The Equalizer in the JBL PC software also adds a lot of quality to the headset as well. Lows, mids, and highs are all adjustable. In addition, there's also a spatial sound section/feature where it adds echo and reverb to the sound like it's coming from the "space". The effect is customizable from the software with advanced options and sliders. It's similar to a live concert experience which I thought was cool for some songs and games. The headset is quite loud and the earcups also seal the ear very tightly to create ... MoreSound: Headphones sound great.

The effect is customizable from the software with advanced options and sliders. It's similar to a live concert experience which I thought was cool for some songs and games. The headset is quite loud and the earcups also seal the ear very tightly to create solid insolation. I also didn't get any lag with the wireless feature which was very enjoyable to see.Microphone: I love the "flip-up to mute" feature. It comes in handy during gaming or chatting/video calling sessions when you immediately want to mute. The small red LED light is also well-thought and placed. However, if you are using the headset wired, when you flip the mute switch on the cable, the light on the microphone doesn't turn red. It's visible in the software but would've been nice to add that little touch with the LED light. Overall, it sounds clear, I had no issues with the sound or got complaints about the audio from the other side. The mic is also flexible and once I was told that I was too loud, I simply moved it away from my mouth to a more comfortable spot. The mic looks like it would only move in only one direction from photos but it's very adjustable and easy to use. There's a microphone section in the software as well. "Mic Level", "Mic Volume", and "Sidetone" could be all adjusted from the software with sliders in order to get the best out of the mic.On-headphone control buttons: I loved the buttons and their placements on the headset. They weren't in accidentally pressing areas with my usage. The right earcup only has the iconic JBL on/off flip switch for Bluetooth use. The left earcup has the volume + game-chat dial and the mute button. The game-chat dial is very convenient, and switching between the game/video sound to the chat room effortlessly was game-changing. Although the dials are smooth, they were still firm enough to not move or change settings with head movements.Fit/Comfort: The earcup pads and the headband are very soft and comfortable for long uses. The headset is flexible and I didn't have any comfort issues. The only negative factor I came across was the headband adjustment levels. If a headset has 10 adjustable levels I'm usually at the 6/7th level which still leaves some room at the top. However, with this pair, I maxed it out. I don't have a large head but someone with one might find this pair a bit uncomfortable with the pressure coming down the headband. Other than that, the headset is very comfortable and although it's a bit on the heavy side, the weight didn't bother me at all. I enjoyed the freedom of no cables and the battery lasted for quite a while.JBL Quantum Engine PC Software: The software is great and I loved using it. It would've been nice if it had a different layout and user interface options but it gets the job done. I love customizing my products and the software provides just that. The RGB JBL logos on the earcups can also light up with effects. There are "Breathing", "Solid", "Wave", and "Glitch" effects available in the software. You can link any effect to any color and pretty much create your own light artwork and change the colors depending on your setup, game, mood, etc. The software is very easy to use and it definitely enhances the performance you would get from the headset.Overall, I would recommend this headset to gamers. Compared to other headsets in this price range, this pair has a lot to offer anywhere from customizability to the wireless connection. Everyone has different needs, of course, but for what I look for in a gaming headset, this satisfies most of the factors.

I love everything about JBL’s best gaming headset I have ever used. First off, when unboxing the Quantum 810 wireless, they have the coolest look with “JBL” that lights up different colors on each side. They are inside of a nice bag to keep them from getting scratched and keep dust off of them when not in use. They are so comfortable when you put them on, you would have to put them on to appreciate how comfortable they really are. I imagined that’s what a fluffy cloud would feel like, when I put them on. Way more so comfortable than any other headset I’ve ever used and I’ve used a lot over the years. Now the sound quality, with surround sound and with the full active noise canceling, pretty much blew my mind. The sound is so amazing and I feel like I’m in a movie ...

Now the sound quality, with surround sound and with the full active noise canceling, pretty much blew my mind. The sound is so amazing and I feel like I’m in a movie theater with perfect crisp sound all around. I absolutely love it!! You don’t have to do anything to connect them to your devices. The Bluetooth automatically connects when you turn them on. You can’t get any easier than taking the product out and just turning it on and it’s ready to go. The charger is included and it’s very nice and sturdy. It’s made like a “rope” plus the handbook for using is included in the box. There is nothing I would change about JBL’s Quantum 810 wireless gaming headset because it is literally the best I’ve ever had in every way. I know they will last forever because everything from JBL has lasted me for years and I’ve never had a problem. If you want the best quality, sound and superior comfort made, I highly recommend this product. I’m sure this is the last headset I want to use for years to come. It’s that good.
Disclaimer: I am NOT a regular gamer. I just want to make that perfectly clear as this review just so happens to be for the JBL Quantum 610 Wireless headset - a headset designed and built specifically for gamers. "Why did I get them", you ask? Well, simply put... I love JBL/Harman products. I've used several of their speakers, earbuds and headphones over the last few years which I've been impressed with the sound and I've had interest in one day getting more into gaming, so I figured why not try a brand that I trust for my first gamer headset rather than taking a chance on a brand I'm unfamiliar with. So... just so I'm transparent: my review as follows is based solely on my impression of this JBL Quantum 610 Wireless headset - the very first (and only) headset I've ... MoreDisclaimer: I am NOT a regular gamer. I just want to make that perfectly clear as this review just so happens to be for the JBL Quantum 610 Wireless headset - a headset designed and built specifically for gamers.

I've used several of their speakers, earbuds and headphones over the last few years which I've been impressed with the sound and I've had interest in one day getting more into gaming, so I figured why not try a brand that I trust for my first gamer headset rather than taking a chance on a brand I'm unfamiliar with. So... just so I'm transparent: my review as follows is based solely on my impression of this JBL Quantum 610 Wireless headset - the very first (and only) headset I've ever experienced.So, after unboxing this pair and trying them on, my first impression was these are comfortable. I consider them to be lightweight; they're definitely not heavy, so they don't feel like weights on your head. They have really soft cushion which I liked as it was comfortable to my head and ears. They're not noise-canceling, so with them on and no sound coming through, you can hear other sounds in your environment moderately well.Included in the box is a 3.5 mm aux cord, a USB type-A charging cable, and a USB Bluetooth wireless adapter. Anxious to get an idea of the sound, I took an unconventional approach for such a headset by first testing the sound like a would a normal pair of headphones. My hearing skills when listening to music through a new pair of headphones gives me a general idea of how I feel about the sound and the headphones themself, so I plugged in the aux cord to my Android phone (where I normally use to listen to music through my JBL Club 950NC headphones) and I played music familiar to me to get an idea. I quickly learned that these are not designed for recreational music listening. At least not in my opinion. The sound was so far different than I could have imagined in areas like mid-range, bass, presence and tone. The volume at max level also sounds to be significantly lower than my experience with my other JBL headphones. There was, however, one cool thing that I enjoyed while testing these on music and that was the "QuantumSound" surround sound. They give off a great ambience with music coming through in surround sound, which I learned later compliments video game playing that uses background music. For the surround sound, I give it a 9 out of 10.After testing it out by listening to a couple of songs, I decided that my next test for it should be on my computer via Zoom. I did this using the USB type-A cable which my computer picked up with in very quick time with no trouble whatsoever. I began a Zoom call with a friend and, after having some difficulty on my end getting Zoom to use the JBL headset as my sound device vs my webcam mic, my friend was able to hear me loud and clear. I, too, could hear them well and the sound I felt was pretty decent - not knowing what to expect chat-wise, of course.For my final test, I decided to take this headset to where it belongs - connected via a game system. I used the aux cable to plug into my PS4 controller while playing Madden '21. As stated above, I'm not a big gamer, though I do have a few games. I went with Madden because of it's use of music, crowd ambiance, controller button sound fx, commentator dialogue and, of course, football sound fx. Here is where it all began to makee sense to me - the volume and the surround sound. Unfortunately, I've never played online with anyone, so I was not able to chat using the built-in mic during gameplay - but sound-wise, I was able to enjoy this headset more now than before. The music during the game settings screen sounded good (I'm not sure if the games' developers mix or EQ the music for video games differently than commercially released music, but nonetheless - it sounded good). The crowd had a wide stereo sound that game the gameplay a great feel because of the headset's surround sound. The commentators sounded clear with great presence, and the sound fx of the football being caught and players tackling one another sounded really good. It wasn't until this moment that I appreciated that the volume of the headset wasn't louder, as I initially thought it was low while first listening to music from my phone. I think the volume is good at max level for gameplay (and yes, I did check the settings on my PS4 to ensure that I had it at max level directly from the settings) so that when gamers are playing, it's not so loud that the entire house could burn down without them hearing noise outside of the headset. I was still able to hear my family speaking around me, although I would occasionally have to pull the headset back off of one ear to hear them clearly. Considering this was my first experience hearing a gaming headset, I'd give the Quantum 610 Wireless a 9 out of 10. I still think a little bit of a boost of mid-range and high-end could enhance the sound just a bit more.Lastly since I hadn't mentioned it yet, the buttons, switch and volume dial on the aux cable and headset are pretty straightforward. With just the push of a button on the headset (or a flip of the switch on the aux cable), you can quickly mute your mic. I tested this out during my Zoom call and it worked as designed. You can also just flip the mic-piece upward for it to mute and you will see a red light indicator near the tip of the mic indicating that you're on mute. There's a volume dial on both the headset and aux cable, as well as a chat/audio balance dial on the headset only. Oh yeah, when connected via Bluetooth, the JBL logo on the outside of each ear of the headset glows a few different colors which looks pretty cool, too.All-in-all, I'd give these a 9.8 out of 10. I can't think of much of anything that I feel like they're lacking and honestly, because I have no other headset to compare them to, I'm not sure if these average or above average. My experience with JBL, however, won't allow me to even entertain the thought that they could possibly be below average - that's just silly talk! Lol.JBL - thank you, as always, for consistently designing and delivering your fans and supporters quality sound a grade-A experience every time. You guys ROCK!
JBL’s Quantum 610 Wireless Headphones are pretty impressive. The best part for me is the fact they are wireless. They quickly connect via the included 2.4Ghz dongle or through an included braided 3.5mm cable, which has a very convenient volume rocker. I had no issues connecting with my laptop or desktop. The Q610 appear versatile enough as it can connect a PlayStation or Xbox, however, I do not own either of those devices.The overall design of the Quantum 610’s is very pleasing. They are well-built and sturdy and come with a matte-black headband and semi-glossy ear cup finish that looks rather nice. The exterior of the ear cups includes a JBL logo. The logo includes user-adjustable RGB lighting effects that, when lit, complements my RGB gaming keyboard and mouse! ... MoreJBL’s Quantum 610 Wireless Headphones are pretty impressive.

The logo includes user-adjustable RGB lighting effects that, when lit, complements my RGB gaming keyboard and mouse! The headset itself is mostly hard plastic, but seems durable, and sufficiently light. The earpads are soft and comfortable and are covered in leather (or should I say pleather) instead of cloth. This design feature made the sides of my head a little warm after an extended period, but this is expected as the ear cups are fully closed. The size of the ear cups may be a problem for some as the cup pads were not deep enough for me. The lack of depth causes my earlobes to touch the cup lining. I would also like more padding on the headband. I found them comfortable enough to wear through extended sessions but the clamping force may be a bit on the tight side for some. The boom microphone is very good. I did not experience any problems and my voice came in very clear and natural sounding. The microphone is in a good place and has a cool lift-to-mute function. There is also a mute button which is both very intuitive and convenient. The mic/game sound mixing rocker is also a very welcome feature. The boom mic it is not removable which would’ve been nice. The headphones ship with a JBL-branded cloth carrying bag which is rather cheap. It doesn’t include a drawstring or Velcro so there is nothing to keep the headphones in the bag when transporting.I have to say that the sound quality is what you would expect from JBL. The Quantum 610’s drivers deliver very good audio quality out of the box without any enhancements. The bass is punchy with a good amount of clean sub-bass. It is not overwhelming and does not distort at higher volumes. The midrange is right where it’s supposed to be and the treble is elevated without being intolerable. Movies, content, podcasts, and most dialogue sounded natural.I downloaded the JBL QuantumENGINE software as it opens a lot of customization and options. The software is actually pretty comprehensive, simple and useful. The software allows the adjustment of the EQ by small increments, RGB lighting modes, Spatial Sound activation, microphone settings, firmware updates, and more. It is quite robust - even providing a holographic representation of the headset. The Spatial Sound tab gives you the option to choose DTS:x or the proprietary JBL QuantumSURROUND which provides a sightlier better object placement and soundstage. This setting does, however, boost the bass but that can be adjusted with the EQ. When in the gaming environment, Spatial Sound technology lets you know exactly where things are coming from when it comes to the environment. Every sound is clear in a gam so you know exactly when something is creeping up and what is going away at the same time!The battery life is excellent. At 40 hours without RGB, I used the 610’s for a whole week without charging. You can charge them while playing which is a feature that not a lot of wireless headsets provide. It only takes 3 hours to fully charge the 610’s which is quite adequate in my book.In summary, I have never owned gaming headphones before and have only had limited use of headphones in general. That fact aside, this is the best pair of headphones I've ever used for any reason. The Quantum 610 Wireless Headphones are great for gaming and they are great for music as well. For me, the design, build quality, versatility, customization, mic, sound quality, and of course, the fact that they are a wireless, makes these headphones a worthy headphone contender for any reason.
These headphones do everything you might need them to do as a gamer, office worker, and a student.First, as a gamer, they have two modes of virtual surround sound: DTS and QuantumSURROUND. I left it at JBL's mode, but DTS is also useful. You can adjust your head size in the app, and that supposedly makes the surround sound algorithm more accurate. Quantum 810s produce all frequencies faithfully, and the bass is strong. I advise to tone down the bass a bit in the equalizer, unless you love the shaking bass of various 3d shooters.The wireless dongle installed easily and works flawlessly: I don't perceive any delay between the action in the game and the sound reaching my ears. It's very liberating not to be tied to the desktop. The wireless signal is rather strong, ...

It's very liberating not to be tied to the desktop. The wireless signal is rather strong, and I can still hear undistorted audio from the second floor (computer is on the first floor).Next, as an office worker, these headphones connect to your phone's bluetooth and seamlessly merge the computer's sounds with your phone conversations. This is priceless: you don't have to keep switching between the headphones and whatever you use to talk on the phone. The top dial on the left earpiece allows you to tone down the computer sounds. Unfortunately, you can't control the volume of the phone sounds (both conversations and whatever media you're playing).Lastly, as a student who wears these headphones while coding and writing papers/latex, these headphones are a blessing in that they feature active noise canceling and play all music very nicely. The ANC can be turned on and off using a small button on the very top of the left earpiece.As mentioned in the gaming section, all frequencies are produced very well by these Quantum 810s, and ANC allows for better concentration and lower music volume, while you can still hear all the details in your music.Lastly, battery life is very good. I charge them up every few days of 3-6 hours behind the computer. My RGB LED settings are minimal, and I estimate that with RGB turned all the way off you can get maybe 1.5 - 2 times the battery life. But who buys RGB LED - enabled headphones and doesn't use them, amirite?Overall, great headphones that do everything I wanted them to do. There is nothing extraneous or redundant, and all the necessary features are there. Great product by JBL.
The JBL Quantum 610 gaming headset achieves everything is trying to accomplish with no major drawbacks. Unboxing it, the headset has a nice presentation, great materials and it's packaged well in a cloth bag. It comes with the usb dongle, usb-c charging cable, 3.5mm cable and paperwork. My experience in windows 10 was plug and play, though I already had the JBL Quantum Engine software installed. It identified the headset, updated the Quantum Engine and I was ready to go.My headset was fully charged in a less than an hour, though I've read it takes three hours to fully charge from zero. Battery life is stated to be 40 hours, and that is consistent with what I've seen. If the battery does run out, you can still use it while charging.The headset is super ...

Battery life is stated to be 40 hours, and that is consistent with what I've seen. If the battery does run out, you can still use it while charging.The headset is super comfortable, with a thick pad on your head and very squishy ear cups. I never had that achy feeling across my dome or sore ears after an all nighter. The microphone is not removable, but it rotates up and down and bends and holds if you need to adjust it or move it out of the way. I like the included sidetalk feature to hear yourself in the headset. The mic functions beautifully, it captures my voice loudly and resonantly but if a sound is just a few inches further away, it's not picked up.Comparing this headset to my Quantum One, there are two stark differences (other than the fact that the One is corded). The first is that the 610 has no noise cancelling. Now for me, gaming alone in my basement, I don't miss that feature at all. But if you're in a gaming center or with a group, or game on the go, you may want to spend just a bit more for the 810 model, which has active noise cancelling. The second big difference is the sound quality. This is the only place where the 610 shows why it's half the price of the One. I found the sound enjoyable, but very bass heavy. Using the equalizer helps this, but there's also a little muddiness in the sound.. with music or movies, highs and lows get a little lost together. Where the two headsets agree is on surround sound and positionality. Movies in DTS present allllmost as good a sound field as my 7.1 Atmos home theater. In gaming, I can easily tell where footsteps, gun shots, etc are coming from.Overall this is an easy to use, long lasting, super comfortable headset. The controls are good and the software is robust. If you need ANC, or you're an audiophile who wants to also use these for music and movies, I'd like to spend a little more.
The Quantum 610 wireless gaming is an great gaming or zoom call headset. These are well built, light but very sturdy. The headset is boxed very nicely and protected from damages during shipping. After removing the headset from the box, I quickly could tell the quality of the headset. Once I did a preliminary fit I immediately noticed the ear cups are too shallow. I have medium size ears and my ears were resting on the speaker casing. I also noticed how long the ear cup cables were...they could be shortened and concealed to look more sleek. The padding around the ears and the top of the head are very soft...cushiony for the lightness of the headset.The mouth boom is awesome. Easy on/off voice feature allows tilting the boom up so no one can hear you talk. It is the ... MoreThe Quantum 610 wireless gaming is an great gaming or zoom call headset.

Easy on/off voice feature allows tilting the boom up so no one can hear you talk. It is the right length and it does an superb job on now allowing exterior noises to be heard...no exterior feedback when the mic is on. If the mouth boom was removable, that would be so nice!My second complaint besides the shallow ear cups is the dongle you have to use for wireless connectivity. Lets say you game off of an iPhone... be prepared to buy another dongle to connect to your iPhone where the JBL dongle will connect too. I am an android user so no issues gaming off my phone with this headset, but my daughter has the newest iPhone and the USB dongle doesn't fit the USB C slot of her iPhone.Once you turn the headset on, it came charged, the ear cup JBL logo lights up with a subtle blue and alternating purple color... giving the headset a more expensive look. If the JBL logo colors aren't to your liking, it can be turned off. The software is easy to follow and use.What really surprised me and put a smile on my face is the sound. These speakers sound clear, crisp, and the noise cancellation is incredible. The bass you get along with the highs was just incredible...seriously, a great listening experience.If these were Bluetooth, the boom could be removed, ear cups made a tad deeper, and came with a dongle for iPhone gaming, this headset would get 5 stars and would be my go to for gaming and on the go work-out, headset of choice. For now they will serve the purpose for my zoom calls and some gaming. I may be nit picking the Quantum 610 headset because it's a quality headset at a very good price!
My headphone collection has grown again…I like to mention it because I enjoy it so much - the packaging is phenomenal on JBL products. Easy to open, and everything is well protected and you can tell thought went into it.That aside - overall I enjoy these headphones for the sound quality thus far and the microphone quality.My girlfriend and I used them over Bluetooth from our phones and had no problems connecting and music and videos were very clear - more so than a good portion of my other headphones.The same was true on my work laptop and personal laptop - simple to connect with Bluetooth.

Sound was fantastic for work calls and some casual gaming sessions - microphone was clear in both cases with co workers and other gamers.Noise cancellation is superb - if you want to drown out the world or your angry significant other - these will knock that out of the park for you.All in all for the price I personally think these are a great value in the sound quality department - my only minor concerns are about durability and a personal preference on the cup material.The headband foam cushion while soft and good at not putting a lot of pressure on the head also for some reason feels incredibly cheap (yet not?) - we just feel like it may not hold up over the long term but is definitely comfortable.The same is true for the earcups but I also find they trap heat in due to the materials so if you have them on too long it may be bothersome but breaks are good folks!My only other minor concern is the microphone material - it’s not as easy to bend as id like and it doesn’t give confidence it will last long if you move it around a lot. But these things could just be in my head and not entirely accurate (not had them long enough).The microphone mute is nice though - an easily identifiable click when you roll it up so you know it’s muted (plus LED light).Other than that as mentioned these are great - not heavy, are comfortable and adjustable and sound great both on audio and output via the microphone.
