Our expert review

The JBL Quantum 400 is a very complete wired headset.

Light and sturdy
Comfortable ear cushions
Easy to install
Wired

I think the JBL Quantum 400 is a great choice for a wired gaming headset. The gaming headset is light, yet sturdy. It fits well and is easy to install. Unfortunately, the JBL Quantum 400 is wired.

Light and sturdy The first thing I notice when unpacking is the weight of the JBL Quantum 400. The headset is incredibly light and I hardly notice you're wearing it. The JBL Quantum 400 is made of sturdy materials and is also beautifully finished. The earcups fall all the way over my ears and have a few nice features on the left earcup. For example, I can easily adjust the volume and balance between game chat and in-game sounds with the buttons.

Comfortable fit and nice to use The JBL Quantum 400 is very comfortable to my ears. I've played for hours with this headset and never really got any problems with my ears or head. The headband has a nice cushion that provides good support. This is of course very nice, especially if you play an open world game for hours. In addition, the JBL Quantum 400 can be used on all platforms. Even VR is supported.

Good sound and microphone The JBL Quantum 400 uses JBL Quantum Surround Sound, JBL's proprietary software. This technique sounds fine, you estimate the direction of the sound well. It's not the best sound I've ever heard, but more than adequate for the price. The microphone is really very good, I can be heard well during online gaming. This is because this gaming headset is directly connected with a cable.

Not wireless This also brings us to the only drawback of this headset. You are always tied to a wire while gaming. The cable gets in the way while gaming, especially if you want to quickly pour a glass of water. In addition, you cannot easily connect the JBL Quantum 400 to your telephone, since they often no longer have a 3.5mm connection. So you will often need an intermediate piece for connecting to your smartphone.

If you don't mind a wired headset, the JBL Quantum 400 is a great choice. Ultimately, the disadvantages of a wired headset are minimal, especially if there is a good connection. The JBL Quantum 400 is also comfortable during longer gaming sessions and the sound is fine, but lacks some range in tones.

Review is 10 out of 10.

Perfect for the Xbox One

Good sound
sit well
Suitable for Xbox One
RGB lighting only works on desktop, but this was known

Purchased for Xbox One, received today and immediately tested with a shooter (modern warfare). Easy connection via the 3.5mm jack on the controller. The max volume was initially a bit soft, via the xbox itself set the basic setting a bit louder, done. You can then easily adjust the volume via the headset. Sound is very good, you can hear depth/surround in the shooter. Also DTS app installed on Xbox, seems to be even better sound, but I dare not (yet) say. The Windows Sonic also seems to be very good in terms of virtual surround. I'm posting this review for Xbox One owners who are looking for a good headset, so this one is great! ;-)

Review is 9,2 out of 10.

Good sound with comfort

Long comfortable to wear
Clear and beautiful sound
Microphone is easy to mute

With these headphones you get a nice product, but some functions are only available in combination with USB. The ear cups have an illuminated JBL logo and the microphone has a small light that lights up when the microphone is turned off, which can be operated with a button or by flipping the microphone upwards. The light and button only work with USB, but fold up also with audio jack. I think it's really ideal. If you go somewhere else for a while, you can also just use the headphones to enjoy the beautiful sound on the train or to make calls using the audio jack and your telephone. Because it also gives a nice sound and it is comfortable. So you no longer need headphones in addition to these. The disadvantage is that if you have Linux instead of Windows you cannot use the driver. I believe this also applies to Mac. But even without it I can recommend it for Linux and Mac users.
