JBL Quantum 200 – Wired over-ear gaming headset with Voice focus directional flip-up mic and reminiscence foam ear cushions (Black)

Quality
Excelent material and construction. Great sound, perfect cheap headset for gaming

Perfect for Call of Duty
Got these to play Black Ops 6 and they work perfect in here the steps and everything Crystal Clear especially with the audio enhancement that the game has. The microphone also doesn’t pick up my kids and other things easily.

Great mid-tier gaming headset. Started having issues after about 2 years
Overall sound quality is pretty good and a big step up from my old headphones. Obviously, more expensive headphones could sound better, but at this price point, the Quantum 200s definitely deliver. These headphones are a huge step up from the old Sony studio headphones I was using before that had sound that was too flat for gaming. These headphones have really taken the fun up a notch, completely immersing me during thunderous gunfights, while also allowing me to pinpoint the softest of footsteps nearby. Despite not having active noise cancelation like some of the higher tier Quantums, these headphones are still extremely isolating, and drown out most exterior noise when sound is coming through. The flip up/down to mute and unmute the mic has also been great for multiplayer, though the foam windscreen comes off occasionally.———————Update: 2 years later the right ear speaker is having issues. It only produces sound if the volume knob is set to to a super specific level; otherwise it cuts out. The left ear speaker is fine. Probably a wiring issue, but disappointing since I was pretty gentle with the headphones and never even traveled with them. Anyway, overall value has definitely dropped, so updating my stars from 5 to 3. I enjoyed these headphones while they lasted, and maybe others will last a lot longer, but seeing as they had a 1-year warranty, I don’t think I have any options left.

These are some TRASH headphones, man
The cord is super short, and the splitter that comes with it doesn’t work right. The audio quality is bad, there’s constantly a buzzing sound in my ears, not to mention the things are uncomfortable. When I discovered all of this, I threw them on the ground, which then snapped the left hinge. So they’re flimsy too. Finished destroying the headphones after that, which was pretty cathartic.

I’ve had a number of much more expensive headsets that didn’t perform as well as this one. Sound quality is excellent in a lightweight design. I often found headsets gave me a headache after hours of gaming, but this one is light enough that I can comfortably wear it for many hours. I am accustomed to a boom mic being more adjustable, but this one doesn’t need it. The position as designed is fine for all uses, from Discord to Zoom and making audio recordings. I prefer a wired, over the ear set to minimize pain on my ears, and possible wireless interference. This delivers on both counts. If I had only one small quibble, it would be that the volume dial is on the left ear piece. This leads to inadvertently turning the volume down when you grasp the headset for removal, but once you know that’s what happened, it’s an easy thing to check. Great value for a product you’ll use often.

Me parece un muy buen headset gamer. Jamás había tenido unos cascos dedicados a jugar porque casi nunca solía jugar así, pero últimamente he estado más enganchado al online con amigos y pronto me di cuenta de que los audífonos que incluye el Play Station muy buenos no son. Cabe destacar que los compré en $900 MXN, estaban de oferta y la verdad por el precio no me arrepiento de nada, son bastante cómodos, es cierto que después de unas horas comienzan a cansar un poco pero no es nada insoportable ni mucho menos. Su calidad de sonido es, en mi opinión, MUY buena. No soy un experto en audio, por supuesto, pero al menos a mí me fascinan. Los juegos se escuchan muy bien, y en shooters online (por ejemplo uno de los que más juego, Star Wars Battlefront 2) son bastante útiles, si bien es cierto que no es un audio 3D impresionante sí que llegas a distinguir si hay alguien a tu alrededor solo con escucharlo. Y bueno, ni se digan los juegos con bandas sonoras muy llamativas como Horizon o Marvel’s Spider-Man, que ahí sientes como si en serio estuvieras balanceándote por Manhattan por el ruido del aire que pasa a tu lado. En donde es un poco más criticable es en el micrófono; no es malo ni mucho menos, eso hay que dejarlo claro, pero es curioso que el Quantum 200, que es más barato, tenga un micro mejor que éstos. Aun así a mí no me representan ninguna molestia. Si tienes PS4 o 5, van a sonar muy ben, eso te lo aseguro. Si tienes Xbox creo que vas a necesitar el adaptador para el control de Xbox One, pero fuera de eso es como cualquier otro headset. Si tienes PC no te preocupes porque tiene una extensión en la que los cables se dividen por audio y micrófono (que oye, yo no lo uso pero se agradece que lo traiga). En resumen, por 900 MXN se me hace una adquisición brutal y de muy buena calidad, llevo varios meses con ellos y no me han dado una sola falla. Si están a más de 1,200 o algo así, es probable que encuentres una mejor opción, pero puedes esperar a que estén de oferta, lo valen.
