Amazing Spatial audio for Surround sound gaming.
This is my first set of dedicated Gaming headphones in almost 10 years. My first set was a pair of Turtle Beaches that had been a loyal companion. I’m a “use it until it breaks” type of person, I don’t game very much, however, my turtle beaches started to fade and crackle, and they also went through a fair amount of abuse.Comfort.I never realized how big of an impact a set of headphones may have on the overall experience. I almost went with another set of TBs because that’s what I’ve used but the Quantum 400s were on on sale so I bit the bullet and I am AMAZED. I had about 2 hours before the Turtle Beaches would start to squeeze my head, one free night I had with some friends, I went for 6 hours (with small breaks in between) with no ear/head fatigue. The cups fit right over my ears snugly, and the strap breaths well without putting much pressure down on my head. They’re earhugs.Sound.The TBs were as basic as basic gets, the audio was good but very linear, and the upside to them was no third-party app to wake them up. The JBLs sounded tinny and cheap before I downloaded the software, however, plug them in via USB, and VOILA the software was downloaded and tinkered with, HOLY JESUS. It’s an experience for me. The spatial audio immersed me in the game, tuning me into the environment.Mic.The mic is another really big plus for me. And I find JBL makes it hard to compete with them in this regard, the audio is crisp clear, and well-tuned, My mates have no issue hearing any comments or commands in the lobbies.My favorite feature is the lift to mute. That is without a doubt an absolute gem. As a student, I spend a lot of my time in front of the screen, so if I’m not looting for treasures, or getting blown to bits, I’m typically listening to music while I write or watching lectures. Moving the mic out of the way creates a more open atmosphere.Build Quality.The build quality is where I can’t provide any insight, they’re plastic, and as such encourage me to be extra careful. Some of the joints seem a tad flimsy and loose, however, it seems like the design intends it to pivot easily for less pressure on your head, which is a trait of their comfort.Overall.These are spectacular headphones for what you’re spending, they easily check all of the boxes in terms of quality and sound processing.The only thing to note for me is that I will be investing in a wireless set in the future, some days I like to stand while I study or just simply stretch my legs.Nevertheless, in a pinch, you cannot go wrong with the Quantum’s.

Nice headset, LED is overkill but switchable.
Overall excellent so far sound is very good and offers adjustable ratios of game sound to chat voice and volume on headset. This is a must if you want to not be overwhelmed by either and need to balance the input without leaving game to adjust internal settings. Mic boom seems solid and boom moves out of way with a quality click of mute switch when engaging. Earpieces are reticulate in multiple directions. The caveat to this is they are small and could be broken if mishandled. I recommend a wall hook or stand to ensure they don’t fall prey to accidents. The cord is solid and braided design and very long so you can use it or tuck away extra but still have that slack. Cord can have a small amount of rubbing sounds that conduct as slight vibration to headset. I pull a little extra across my lab to stop this. You get used to it and is a very nominal issue for me. Getting a cord clip for your shirt will eliminate this completely. The LED works great if that’s your thing. I would personally prefer have a model between the 300 and 400 that has all the 400’s features minus the LED which is just flash with no operational benefit.

Easy to use
The headset is easy to use and the fold up mic is nice except when you forget to put it back down to talk. The sound is a little “tinny” so it isn’t a good headset for recording singing. I have to switch back to my old headset with a broken earpiece to record on SingSnap. Otherwise, this is a good gaming headset.

the best headphones I have ever owned
It is the best headphones I have ever owned. The volume controls are great, you can balance game sounds, computer sounds and voices from discord with the built in controllers. They ae comfortable but could probably use a little more cushion on the top of the head, I have a very large head and probably more comfortable for someone a little smaller.

Amazing
My boys got these for Christmas and they love them. They said they are noise canceling when you have them on without anything playing. I was talking next to them and they couldnât hear me. They said these are the best by far that they have ever had!

Overhyped
First, the lights only work if plugged into a computer. Not anything else, such as an Xbox controller. One ear started to intermittently work for about a year. Then only could hear chat and not the game. Now, 18 months after purchasing, it has stopped working completely. I took good care of these, never dropped or thrown. I’m sure they wouldn’t have lasted as long if careless with it. For the price, wouldn’t recommend.

Does not last long
At first, it worked great. The sound was good, the downloadable app was great to customize. After a month of using it, I had issues connecting it to my PC. I tried other audio devices (speaker, different headphone) and they worked fine. Seems to be an issue with this headphone.

Works great for gaming
These are a great budget friendly option for a gaming headset. My cousin loved them and gets a lot of use out of them. They seem to hold up well to teenagers.

Otimo headset, boa relação custo benefÃcio. Entrega áudio de primeira e um som 7.1 muito bom que funciona bem nos jogos que tem essa compatibilidade. Cabo também é otimo e o tamanho ajuda. Também é muito confortável para jogatinas longas. Só o microfone que não é dos melhores mas atende bem as necessidades de quem só busca uma jogatina casual ou chamadas com amigos

I use Windows10, not sure if it has same software/driver for other OS…after installing the QuantumEngine the sound quality improves a lot, I keep using the USB 3 cable that comes with it. The spatial sound quality is distinctive, I feel like the sound comes from surrounding (of course I have the headset on). I can’t tell whether it has noise canceling but ambient noise doesn’t seem to interfere with the sound from the headphone…maybe it’s loud enough. I don’t use the audio cable with 3.5mm plugs as it doesn’t allow all functionalities of the headset. Buttons and dials work only if the USB cable is connected.In terms of comfort, I wear glasses and the headset doesn’t my ears at all, the soft ear pieces cover my ears well. The material does allow skin to breathe so I don’t sweat after long hour having them on.The mic records high quality sound.A little disappointment, I can live with it, is the mic mute/unmute button doesn’t work with Microsoft Teams…meaning that this button doesn’t change the mute/unmute in button in MS Teams during meeting. Hopefully, JBL can fix this.Build quality, it’s made mostly out of plastic….feel flimsy…but i will be careful with it.

Very good deal for the price. Good sound. Didn’t get 5 stars because the surround sound is a bit hit and miss so I don’t use it that much.

O fone isola bem o som externo, atendendo a proposta para quem joga e até mesmo trabalha. Cabo USB e o p2 também são de qualidade. O único ponto negativo é o preço.
