Wired Gaming Headset for Multi-Platform Play

The JBL Quantum 100 is a wired over-ear gaming headset built for PC, Mac, Xbox, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. It connects through a 3.5mm jack so no separate power supply is required. The 40mm drivers deliver a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20000 Hz with 32 ohms impedance and 97 decibels sensitivity. A detachable boom microphone with echo cancelling provides clear voice pickup for team communication.

Upgrade from Basic Earbuds or Built-In Audio

Players moving up from mobile earbuds or monitor speakers gain a dedicated boom microphone and over-ear isolation for competitive sessions. The jump is worth it when you need consistent positional audio and a muteable mic that stays in place. Buyers who want wireless freedom or active noise cancellation will not find those features here. The headset also lacks onboard audio controls or software-based surround processing.

Limits of the 3.5mm Analogue Connection

Audio quality and microphone performance depend on the host device's built-in sound hardware rather than an internal DAC. Volume and mute adjustments must be handled through the platform's system settings or in-game menus. The fixed cable length restricts movement compared to wireless models. Comfort during long sessions relies on the memory foam ear cushions covered in PU leather, which weigh 7.8 ounces total.

Questions about this item

Does the 3.5 mm plug fit a standard headphone jack on a PC, console or mobile device?

Yes, the 3.5 mm connector plugs directly into any standard 3.5 mm audio port on PC, Mac, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch or mobile device without an adapter.

How do I attach the boom microphone and what step is often missed?

Align the microphone boom with the socket on the left ear cup and push until it clicks; the step many miss is confirming the mic is fully seated so the echo-cancelling circuit engages.

When should the memory-foam ear cushions be replaced?

Replace the PU-leather-covered memory-foam cushions when they lose shape, crack or no longer seal around the ears, which degrades the 97 dB sensitivity and passive isolation.
