I like this headset overall but I have 2 minor gripes! So firstly I have to say that most gamers buy gaming headsets for the sound+mic quality. Then looks and features after that. The mic part is important to me so I have to say that this budget headset gets a 10. My family say i sound super clear while playing online. The next best part about this headset is the software and customization. The quantum software is great. You have the ability to change the RGb lighting which is very bright to many different settings. Change the audio from basic stereo to simulated surround sound(which works well) and change the EQ to your liking. Now the actual sound is a bit less higher end. More of a middle area. But it’s to be expected since it’s more on the budget gamers level. But not bad sound. Build quality is pretty solid and very pleasing tho you can feel that it is not premium. Again not in its price point. Plus JBL has several other higher end headphones in the awesome quantum line up. This by no means is a bad headset I love JBL but this will be a great start if you are getting Into gaming. I personally play more now on the PC which this comes with a very nice braided type C cable and a standard 3.5mm jack. Controls are on a wheel on one side and work well. Plus there is a dedicated mute button. And a boom mic that you can switch up to mute as well. Great job by JBL there. So yes 4 stars but that’s still a great rating and I highly recommend. If not this one get some of JBL higher lever headsets. I’m sure those are amazing as well.

Just a quick note, this was used on a PS4 console and cellphone mainly with small usage on a Nintendo Switch. This is a bare minimum headset designed for gaming. You get no Bluetooth, no active noise cancelling, nor any premium materials. So why the five stars? Well, if your going to offer a just the basics in gaming headsets, you better perform well in what you do offer and I can say that this does. I have two other over the ear headphones/headsets, a Bowers and Wilkins designed for music and an older model of Sony Gold gaming headset. This JBL is by far the more comfy of the three. I can barely feel the clamping pressure anywhere but it sits securely on my head, with or without my glasses. I can definitely wear these for far longer than the others. Sound-wise, everything is great. Voices come in very clear and I can hear the full range of gaming sound effects and music. Once you find your own personal balance between chat and game audio, you'll swear your friend's voice is just another part for the game. Audio is so good on this that due to how comfortable it is, I use these for music while doing errands around the house. The only downside is that the materials aren't the best quality. The volume wheels feel particularly cheap and the faux leather feels thin and prone to tearing. On the positive, the included cables are threaded and don't feel cheap. Knowing what I know now about this headset I would chose these over the Sony Gold (the older model. I'm not sure how improved the newer model Sony Gold Playstation is) at the same price point. I get the same if not better quality audio and I can use these with other consoles or cellphones. I can deal with not having wireless (no charging required) and I am willing to sacrifice a degree of quality materials for a more comfortable fit.

If these only worked on PS4 or Xbox they’d be a solid 4 out of 5. But the fact they work on all platforms and mobile devices they’re a 5, especially on PC. On PC you can customize the RGB lights, EQ, surround sound mode, and more. On PS4 while you have the spatial awareness playing FPS, the bass is lacking, but on PC that’s not a problem at all. They feel relatively well made for the price, my one knock would be the mic. The sound is fine, I just wish it was flexible and removable. This could be a problem for anyone that’s rough on their headsets. The Quantum 400s are a solid entry and offer good value for the money in the gaming/mobile device headset arena.
