I have purchased the wired JBL Quantum 100 a year ago. The mic was really great and i got a lot of compliments on the quality of it, but the mic stopped working after a month. I asked around and people have said not to rely on JBL for making good gaming headsets. Should I still get the Quantum 360P? I wanted to stay away from wired headsets just because i’ve heard that the PS5 controller doesn’t pair great with them. And in my experience with the HyperX headset its true. The mic always cuts out and people i game with can hear static, so I have to twist the wire every now and then to fix it. Plus the mic quality isn’t that great.

Might be a bit irrelevant to the question, but I enjoy my JBL Quantum 100P. Great sounding, really comfortable, detachable mic and pretty cheap. (I'm mainly saying this because I'm too broke to buy a headset for $200 lol) https://preview.redd.it/p11w57u6py0g1.png?width=904&format=png&auto=webp&s=1672e11e4c4417a9db6a89bead11872ce4515e4b

I use the JBL Quantum 100M2 and never had any discomfort for longer gaming sessions be that on PC or console.

These help tremendously, as I was looking at a few of these myself, so !thanks ! If I can add on, I bought a HyperX cloud stinger wireless before as my boyfriend's sounds pretty good - bought it from the same place, same price, etc etc - and no matter what I did it sounded absolutely abysmal, like I was stuck in a wind tunnel. Charging cord is also extremely short, so if you want to charge and use it you're a bit out of luck. I have Jbl quantum's currently and the sound is good, just one day suddenly the mic stopped working - if you can somehow avoid that happening, they're a good lower tier headset that I found worked pretty well. However they do have in headset controls but i haven't found a problem with them apart from the mic mute button just sometimes not muting.

For the stinger, kind of both. The audio was very winded and sounded far away, whilst the mic sounded very echoey to others and couldn't be read by discord in some situations. Totally forgot there'd be other kinds of JBLs, my apologies. I believe they're the JBL Quantum 100M2 wired from memory. One of the lower priced headsets for sure

Personally I have a set of jbl quantum 100m2s that were about 60 or so Australian dollars and it is very good just watch out that sometimes the headphone jack can break which is unfortunate otherwise they are a very good set of headphones

Poor opinion from LATAM: JBL Quantum, I guess... any? I first bought JBL Quantum 100 in my country around $60 like 5 years ago, 2 years later I upgraded them to JBL Quantum 400; this time I did dropshopping to get them cheaper. It's been 3 years using the same headsets the same way you're planning to or harder. I WFM 8 hours and play between 4~6 hours. Somedays I get lazy and freeky and don't even rest to keep playing till next day. Mic is not a problem because you can disatttach it. Now, I'm planning to upgrade my headsets to a wireless version of the same brand.

I just listed off 3 brands and 1 headset. JBL Quantums are good, Sony has good ones. HyperX has gone down hill
