JBLQuantum 100 - Wired Over-Ear Gaming Headphones - Black, Large

I have now had my headphones (White) for a full year and a half - I bought them in April 2021, and they still work great. I have a smaller head, and the lowest size setting actually fits, so I suppose that means they run a little bit small but that's exactly what I need. As no other headphones fit me on their smallest setting, I have been extremely impressed of the quality of my (on-sale) $30 mic'd headphones.- Sound quality is superior for the price, very balanced and of good quality. I have been impressed, and after a year nothing has deteriorated in sound quality. I don't know the right word, but I'm able to get the surround-sound that is needed for first-person shooter games. I know where my enemies are coming from! It's not something I expected from this headset, but I was very pleasantly surprised!- The one minus here is that the mike is a little bit on the quiet side, and I have to manually turn myself up in Discord/Zoom/Steam. But after that, it's a very clear sound without muffling and usually only picks up my voice. It is a detachable mike, but I've detached and reattached it several times, bent and unbent the mike angle, and it still seems durable with zero break-down. I keep it unattached for the most part and have yet to lose it.- The headset itself is very, very comfortable. I can wear it for hours on end without issues or headaches. It is made of a cheaper light-weight plastic, but it's also durable enough to have lasted well over a year - and going! The swivel of the ears also helps with comfort and for "sealing" in the sound. So unless the *look* of quality is what you're going for, the light-weight plastic is actually a plus for comfort at a $30 price tag.- The cord is shorter, but if your PC is next to your desk, it won't be an issue.For a fitting pair of headphones with gaming-level quality, accurate sound positioning for games like Halo and Apex (among others), quality sound and comfort, detachable microphone, and a $30 price tag, these are far superior to anything I have ever gotten in the past. If a quieter mike and short cord aren't issues for you, and you're a gamer/student like me looking for quality on a really small budget, these may be the best headphones out there.

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.

My Honest Review of the JBL Quantum 100 Wired Over-Ear HeadsetI recently picked up the JBL Quantum 100 Wired Over-Ear Headset, and I have to say, it's been an overall pleasant experience. As someone who spends a lot of time gaming and occasionally listening to music, I was looking for a budget-friendly headset that didn't compromise on sound quality or comfort. This headset hits the mark on both counts.Sound Quality: 4.5/5The sound quality is excellent for the price. The 40mm drivers deliver clear, immersive sound that works well whether I’m deep into a game or just chilling with some music. Gunfire, footsteps, and environmental sounds in games are crisp and distinct, which has really improved my gaming experience. The bass is punchy, though not overwhelming, so it’s still great for casual listening or even watching movies.Comfort: 4/5The ear cushions are soft and the headband is lightweight, making the Quantum 100 comfortable for long gaming sessions. I’ve worn them for hours without feeling too much pressure on my head or ears, which is something I really appreciate. That said, the ear cups are slightly on the smaller side for me, so if you have larger ears, they might feel a bit snug.Microphone: 3.5/5The microphone is decent. It picks up my voice clearly, but it’s not as high-end as some more expensive headsets. There’s no noise-cancellation feature, so background noise can occasionally be heard by others, but for the price, it’s totally serviceable. The flip-to-mute function is super convenient, and the mic is flexible, so I can adjust it to the perfect position.Build Quality: 4/5The build feels solid for the price, though it’s mostly plastic. It doesn’t feel flimsy, and I think it will hold up well with regular use. The cables are also durable and long enough to give you flexibility while gaming or moving around.Final Thoughts:For the price, I don’t think you can find a better wired gaming headset. The JBL Quantum 100 offers great sound, comfort, and a decent mic, all at an affordable price. While there are more premium options out there, this headset punches well above its weight for everyday gaming and media consumption.If you’re looking for an affordable, no-frills gaming headset that does the job, the JBL Quantum 100 is a solid choice.

Works great. High build quality, decent microphone (nothing special, but better than other options at this price point). They are comfortable and large enough to fit most people. The design is basic, but for most people I think it'll do. As far as I can tell, this ONLY works through the 3.5mm cable, so no dual connectivity options here.
