JBL Quantum 100 Wired Over Ear Gaming Headphones with Mic, 40mm Dynamic Drivers, Quantum Sound Signature, Detachable Mic, Memory Foam Cushioning, PC/Mobile/PS/Xbox/Nintendo/VR Compatible (Black)

My Honest 2 cent on JBL Quantum 100
OK, so I have been using these for the past 3 days and I was using my AirPods pro before that for gaming and everything else so I will be comparing these headphones to that I know the price difference but you also need to understand that the JBL has bigger drivers and is over the ear so I think it’s fair. So my initial question was do these sound as good as my Airpods? I started with the song I always listen to when I get a new pair of headphones, Hotel California by Eagles, and these headphones well they sounded too sharp almost pain full like those cheap 100 Rs earphones.So, I saw some reviews and there was a split some saying they are pretty good and others saying they are not good for music and so on. I ended up replacing my first pair of JBL. The point being if they sound like crap start by replacing them because no headphone should sound that sharp especially not with a branded pair they probably have a QC issue. My second pair of these JBL’s arrived the next, they sounded like the graph that is shown on the box pulled up high-end, mids, and bass basically increasing the overall volume of the headphone sounds bad right well not really.It’s not for music I mean you can listen to it it’s not bad but it’s not very good either, it depends on what you listen to for example if you listen to Bollywood trash (no offense I listen to them from time to time) then these headphones are not it but if you listen to older songs from classic bands (pink Floyd, guns and roses, etc) or for that matter classic Indian Sangeet those extra high-end notes really make these headphone sing. Movies are amazing, remember the extra mids and bass from the graphs well they do an amazing job of recreating the voices and the atmosphere the extra highs can be a problem if the actor has a higher-pitched voice and gets irritating so pick your poison.Gaming, these are gaming headphones after all. I play games on my Xbox, I bought them for my Xbox and I have not a single bad thing to say about these even my first defective pair blew my head. Witcher 3 (Yes, I still play that game) the atmosphere the headphones create is truly amazing there were times I turned back to see if there was actually someone, it blows my AirPods away, you could hear the tree trunk crack leaves fly the wind it’s truly something to experience. Next is Forza and my opinion stays the same, same with AC odyssey as well as PUPG. The mic is also very good too video calls or phone calls should not be an issue at all I mean if you are planning to buy rebranded Chinese crap from the likes of cosmic bite or Red dragon or gear then stop and buy this instead. But if you are planning to buy the more expensive Hyper x cloud series then buy that only this is not for you.Finally, let’s talk about fit and finish as it will determine the isolation and comfort of any headphones. For me these headphones fit perfectly, they clamp down with just enough pressure so as to not hurt my head but are strong enough to prevent them from falling off. The fit almost reminds me of Bose QC 25 headphones. This means the isolation is pretty awesome they are no active noise canceling of course but is more inline with passive noise isolating earphone so basically all the earphone on the market. The drives are placed at some distance from your ear this does two things. One, your ears don’t rest on the driver like in most of these cheap Chinese crap second it helps with spatial audio. The finish, on the other hand, well its cheap plastic and there is no two ways about it you touch the headphone you will know what I am talking about, It won’t break but its no bose or apple in this regard, you get what you pay for the cable is braided and tangle-free though. The cushion is pretty good, it not the softest memory foam or the thickest but again it gets the job done it’s covered with fake leather and is nonreplaceable so when they wear out you need to buy a brand new pair of headphones.Conclusion, buy them if you are on a budget I don’t think there is a better pair at this price that has the audio quality this has in games. If you have no budget and want a headphone that does everything then my Airpods pro is the winners but I would recommend the hyper x cloud series for gaming if you have the budget for it at 7K. Or if you want something to go along with your Xbox and don’t want to spend too much like me then I would say buy these you will be happy.

Do not buy for PC gaming! Read review to know why
Being a JBL brand product, it does what it is supposed to. The sound output is good, it helps you distinguish between footsteps and gunshots, without increasing the overall volume to have blaringly high gunshot sounds. But it being advertised as a PC gaming product is a sham, this is not made to be used with PC.1. It comes with a single 3.5mm jack which in most PCs will require a Y-splitter to split Speaker and Microphone input. It will not work with most PCs right out of the box. In my case I had a few Y-splitters and so I had to use it.2. Microphone is ok, the boost is not really going to grant you any advantage whatsoever to have for in-game comms, unless you are one for the Just Chatting section of Twitch.3. While the sound of a footstep can be heard a little better, it is drained out by the incredibly low volume that you get especially when you use a Y-splitter, you need to crank up everything to maximum to have an advantage. In my case I had to use a software to boost the output by 10 dB to make any difference at all.All the points 1-3 can be easily fixed by picking up a cheaper Cosmic Byte headset (USB type). It feels like a huge waste of money for me, considering I picked this up for gaming, especially Rainbow 6 Siege and CS:GO.This will be a good headset for PS4, Mobile and maybe even XBox, but it is not a good choice for PC. Get a different headset, something that comes with a USB or 2 3.5mm jacks. Disappointed when it comes to my use, but I just gifted this to another person who listens to music and occasionally plays on mobile. I’ve gone and bought myself a 7.1 surround USB headset for almost the same price as this.Note: When using Y-splitters there is a chance of the speaker output also echoing over the microphone, this happens in case of most headset which come with a single 3.5mm jack. There is no fix that I know which works for this. Only thing you can try is pushing the 3.5mm jack as far as it goes into the Y-splitter. It is a risk that you take with any headset you plan to use with a Y-splitter.
