High Quality Headphones Vs Headset For Gaming

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Positives: JBL Quantum 400 is a solid gaming headset with excellent build and top notch sound quality. The build quality of JBL never disappoints. The quantum surround sound will give you the surround sound experience and is the best part of the headphones. You can customize your sound experience with the app. The microphone works perfect.The headphones worked perfect with my Xbox One. This headset gives immersive gaming experience you need. Negatives: None but if nitpicking, the sound cable can be little longer.

It's always boggled my mind that every other gaming headset I've had, even when spending north of $200-250 on them, sounds like some $30 Skullcandy garbage from 20 years ago when it comes to sound quality. My travel headphones are a nice set of Sony WH-1000XM3 that I've had for several years now that I originally purchased around the $300 mark and I feel are my benchmark for what wireless headphones should sound like, and these are genuinely the only gaming headset I've heard that actually sound like they belong at the $300 headphone price-point. If you care about audio quality, these are probably the only gaming headphones you'll ever be satisfied with.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This gaming headset is great! The sound on these is amazing! I was playing sports video games like FIFA and it felt like I was really in the stadium. Other video games were equally as great. You could hear the faintest of sounds and this made the louder sounds even more intense. The sound quality is great and the microphone is equally as great. Anybody I played with online had an easy time hearing me. The gaming headset is super easy to setup and use as well. The wire-free set up is great and allows you to walk around without having to take off your headset or bring your controller. The battery life is also long and something I appreciate. The headset is very easy to use and has convenient volume controls right on the headset. Perhaps an underrated feature of this headset, is the ability to have great sound without disturbing anybody. You can play video games without annoying anyone else in the room. Also, I used these headphones to watch TV/movies on my gaming console without waking up anyone in my house like I used to when using my TV speakers. Lastly, these are very comfortable! I wore them for hours and never once experienced discomfort. I usually do not like over the ear headphones so the fact I never had any problems and actually enjoyed wearing these shows how comfortable they are! I could not recommend this product enough!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These headphones deliver in a number of practical, easy ways whether being used for gaming or not. The ease of connection in headphones these days is critical, and within less than a minute, these were connected to both a phone and Nintendo Switch. Pairing was simple and the ability to switch back and forth relatively effortlessly made the user experience so smooth. Using the headset for gaming, the sound came in amazingly clear and captured both game dialogue as well as sound effects and score without featuring one over the other. Voices were clear, sound effects were crisp and the background music was rich and deep. Switching over to music, the experience was much the same. Piano notes came in clear and loud, treble was smooth and loud and the bass had a classic "thump" characteristic which is often more of a "buzz" in lower-end headphones. Finally, the switch to USB-C is the last feature that seems to be the most simple and obvious, but absolutely necessary. Regardless of device, it seems to be more and more common to utilize one charging cable, and being able to switch from phone to gaming and now headphones with a single cord while traveling is such a relief. All in all, these are terrific for anyone looking at a mid-range headset, packed with a ton of features and quality that are normally found in more expensive products and designs.

Got it for gaming and voip/skype. I wanted headphones but not a gaming headset. Got a v-moda with it and the BoomPro does a lovely job when I'm online. Sounds crisp to the other person/players. The only thing i personally don't like, more of a pet peeve, is the diamond shape mic and controls. They looks big and clunky. You would think that a company that puts so much into the design and feel of their headphones would actually make something more streamlined, like their SpeakEasy cable. But that's just me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking for a headset that was diverse in gaming but that could also be used for video calling. The JBL Quantum 910X really delivered on expectations and then some! It feels high quality and durable in my hands. Not a fan of the plastic but it’s something I can get past because green is my favorite color and the accent is just French kiss. The gaming experience: While wearing the headset, I immediately noticed how comfortable and surprisingly lightweight they felt on my head and around my ears. At times I would game for 1-2 hours around 3-4 times a week and not once did they feel uncomfortable or did I feel any fatigue for wearing them which is really welcoming considering how headphones can feel overtime. When I used the Quantum 910X to for RPG, FPS or sports games, the sound effects sounded crystal clear making it an even more enjoyable gaming experience. I truly felt “in the zone”. It really makes a difference having gaming headphones. I did not test the microphone while gaming a lot because I’m more of a solo act, but when I did test them for the sole purpose of gaming, my partner said I sounded good through the microphone. The other uses experience: The Quantum 910X also helped boost my efficiency and productivity as I used them for online work meetings and video calling and whoever was on the call could hear me quite clearly. If you are looking for a headset that can perform multiple tasks, I’d highly recommend these. Feels like a call centre when I’m not gaming haha. Apart from video calls, playing music through them is also good, maybe less so than dedicated headphones for that department in my opinion but still gets a little bassy (for me) and has some good passive noise cancellation from the earcups themselves. Overall: I love them! I’ll probably use them a lot more because it got the microphone so it’s more multifunctional than normal headsets.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, a tremendous feature-to-value ratio that delivers a stand-out experience for those with the right setup. Our most used games include Rainbow Six Siege, Call of Duty Modern Warfare Warzone, Fortnight, Roblox and Rust. OUT OF THE BOX: Many cords (to accommodate various setups), but also exceptionally clear setup instructions. Piece of cake for tweens and adults alike. SOUND QUALITY: Excellent high and low balance, all with perfect clarity. Immediately noticeable and particularly awesome is the sonic spatial directional audio. This heightens the overall gaming experience and ability to compete. COMFORT and AESTHETICS : VERY comfortable … top band and cups all well-padded. The unit is lightweight, yet sturdy and high-quality with great looking lighting features on both cups. The headset looks slick and wears great for hours at a time! A hiccup for our Xbox OneS and Apple iMac house … The JBL QuantumENGINE drives important headset functionality, but only works on PC. As clearly outlined within the ‘compare’ and ‘connectivity overview’ sections of the JBL website - this headset is packed with powerful features and is purposefully designed to interface with hardware and software used by high performance gamers. For over 25 years, JBL has never let me down … this headset is no different. The Quantum series offers something for everyone, and I look forward to benefiting from all of the QuantumOne features when I upgrade our gaming system to PC.

Cheap but high quality great overall headset

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Item arrived a few weeks ago and took me a while to properly evaluate all of the features and functions. All I can say is WOW!! Physical 'display' type box is attractive and informative as to the many features the product provides... Upon unboxing I found a very high quality headset with MANY cords for different applications and uses but VERY clear and precise instructions of what all of the accessories represented as well as clear connection information. Very simple for tweens all the way up to adults to understand.. Upon connecting the unit and powering up there are many variables that can be adjusted including lighting and sound parameters. The headset has top band setup with heavily padded ear cups which are very comfortable and adjustable for many head sizes. Headset was very comfortable even with hours of wearing and gaming. Once setup the best feature comes to life.. the absolute dynamic highs, lows, and bass of the noise canceling sound experience. I have yet to own a headset that provided such dynamic directional type audio that this headset promotes but it is nothing short of astounding. Game play is 10X sweeter with just the experience that the sound quality brings to the table. The lighting of the LED's is also a rather cool and radical feature not found on many other headsets.. Certainly intensifies the gaming experience as well. All in all VERY pleased as I am with every other JBL product I have had the pleasure of using and owning. The price may be higher than a lot of other headsets but YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!! No corners cut in design and making this a must have pinnacle gaming accessory!! Once you have tried this unit there are no others that come close in comparison.

Very comfortable headset and high quality sound monitoring.
