5.0 out of 5 stars JBL Quantum 100 - Wired Over-Ear Gaming Headphones

Some things I really love about this headset

Sound Quality - I can truly say that the sound quality of this this headset is crystal-clear. The detachable BOOM microphone uses advanced audio technology and thus does its job
If you get to isolate the noise, the recording quality is remarkable

The braided 1/8” TRRS cable which assures its durability and are highly resistant to breakage or damage

Some things I dont really like (not totally negative)

The controls on this JBL are limited to a few basic functions, with the only onboard controls being a volume scroll wheel and a mic mute button. There is No Call button and No play/pause Music Control button

Another thing is the headphone isn’t really very portable. The ear cups fold flat and sideways, looking out. It doesn’t fold inwards. Neither does it come with any sort of protective carrying case, so you risk having them snag on something if you just toss them into your bag.

The build quality is sort of disappointing, plastic, but for what I need it for, acceptable however, the adjustable headband looks weak at a connection, almost like if you exert simple pressure, it will easily snap

Noise Isolation is there but it’s not the best, you hear quite a bit of rumble in the background if you’re listening in a crowded environment, so it’s safer you don’t count on it.

In short, If you’re on the hunt for a budget gaming headset you don’t have to think too hard, the JBL Quantum 100P is definitely worth considering. It’s lightweight, easy to use. The mic is okay, the design is comfortable, and it works everywhere. It’s not a spectacular piece of hardware but it is not costly

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple, affordable headset without any annoying extras. (Realtek users, see last paragraph)
Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2021
I'm not a fan of gaming headsets that come with their own software, have annoying bright lights, 70 mile long cables that get tangled up, and especially those little midway connectors that can control volume and come unplugged if you tug on the cable by accident. I'm happy to say this is a minimalist gaming headset that fits exactly what my needs are.

The headset is comfortable (it is slightly tight like the other reviews said, but I personally prefer that type of fit), the microphone sounds surprisingly good and clear for the price (I have a deeper voice and people noted how much deeper my voice sounded compared to my old headset) and can bend and stay in place where you need it. You just need to buy a $6 TRRS to dual TRS headphone/mic splitter if your computer has separate headphone/mic ports. (I just bought the one that was listed as frequently bought together and it worked fine.)

I can see what people are saying about the plastic build quality being susceptible to cracking, as I've done this by accident with an old headset, but if you don't rip your headphones off your head with one hand like an animal you shouldn't have a problem.

The audio quality of the headphones is totally acceptable for the price range. Yes it is a little boomy in the low mids, but if you just EQ your audio output that can be reduced and molded to your preference anyway, and the result is a very nice and punchy bass sound. I see reviews that say the sound is better on xyz headphones, but those other brands being compared to are in the $100 range at least. Either way, if you have the expectation of audiophile-tier sound quality, then why would you get a gaming headset? The only reason to get a gaming headset is to avoid the hassle/cost of setting up a separate mic and headphones so it can be all in one, knowing that you are sacrificing audio quality for the convenience. A mic small enough to attach to a headset will never come close to a LDC mic.

For my money, a lower tier headset is totally fine for everyday gaming and casual music listening. For $30, I don't really know what more I could want from this product, other than maybe it coming with the TRRS to dual TRS headphone/mic splitter for my laptop's inputs. I might even buy an extra pair in case these ever go out of stock because most headsets are migrating towards bulkier and RGB laden designs I don't enjoy, and it's getting harder to find headsets that are lightweight and minimalist in their design like these are.

Initially I had troubles getting Discord to recognize the mic until I realized my Realtek Audio Manager needed to manually set this as a default mic (Go to Microphone -> Set Default Device in Realtek), and I had to uncheck the awful noise suppression setting (Not the Discord one, the Realtek one) to get the full mic quality. This is also specific issues to my computer's software though and in no way reflects the product's quality, I just figured anyone else with this same problem might want the info.

4.0 out of 5 stars For 30 bucks, Hands down the best headset you're going to find
Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2022
I bought this headset for my girlfriend a little over a year ago and she has loved it the whole time. We just upgraded to a wireless headset but for the time she had it I was very impressed. First off, for 30 bucks youre not going to find much better. Build quality is all rigid plastic and it's a bit creaky but all headphones in this price range are going to be like that. The sound quality and the mic are amazing and beat some 70-100 dollar headsets I have used. JBL is known for their sound and these are no exception. All frequency ranges come in clear so whether your gaming or listening to music this headset sounds awesome. The best and worst part of the headset is the mic. The mic (when it worked) was the best sounding mic I have heard on a gaming headset. My girlfriend sounded like she was talking through a physical desktop microphone. The fact that it is removable too really was convenient for when she wasn't in calls or using coms in game. The reason I say it is also the worst part of the headset is that the mic stopped working after about a year after she got it. She is not rough with any of her tech and the headset was used normally. The mic stopped working and we could not figure why. So we upgraded her to the Barracuda X which is 3 times the price and the mic doesn't compare in sound quality at all. The last thing I will say is that the headphones look great and you will need to purchase a splitter to use it on a PC but it does work out of the box on some laptops. For the price you can't go wrong with this headset. If I am ever in the need of a budget headset I will definitely recommend and purchase this again.
