Without the slightest amount of research. I bought this headset yesterday. Then here this video is in my suggestions. Very strange... but yeah I really like the Quantum 400! No complaints. Comfy fit, good build quality and good sound and mic. Using on the ps5 and all is good. Comparable to Turtle Beaches I used to own that were 3 times the price.

My mic isn't working when connected to my PS5. Do I need to do the setup on a laptop first ?

How do you only have 989 subs, you make high quality vids and i think you deserve more subs

[@tim_tam_tom2638]

The mic on this headset is super bendable to point where it could break from being pushed down into a surface to hard. I’m not sure if the mic is bendable but I don’t think it is because plastic can’t be bent over and over again because it will eventually snap.

[@legvalmont]

I've just bought one. It's February '24. I mostly play racing games and look for zero delay over audio quality. Mic should be decent because every now and then I'll use it for video calls. That said, I like it, overall. Does hug to the ears nicely. Doesn't hurt after hours of use; I tested for a few days almost 100% of the time I'm either racing or playing something. I've a few headsets that would make me wanna stop and rest due to discomfort. Sound is nice and microphone seems ok as well. Bear in mind this is neither a top tier product nor a professional/dedicated microphone. In that regard I have also steered away from the BT version because it would be more expensive and would [1] introduce BT delays and degraded mic quality. Imagine playing a racing game where image and sound either aren't in sync or are delayed (not fun, aka bit flat no no). Overall, I'm happy. I haven't experience swichy/scratchy sound you mentioned but will keep a close eye on it. I'll most certainly find a way to circumvent this because from the seating position to the USB port it's a short way for a very long cable, so I might be able to stick it to the cockpit frame so as to not be a nuisance. PS: thanks for the video, I saw it after the purchase, but it was good to confirm it was a good one. Cheers!

From what I can tell only through PC because you have to activate it through the software.

I have the wireless version and there's a mute button for the microphone on the headphone itself. If it's the same make sure it's not activated

[@voidedcharlieplayoof3740]

Ok so you also experienced the massive scratching sound and you said it was because it hitting your jumper as i said i have experienced the same thing are you sure that is what it is ?

[@BobasLife]

I said the scratching noise is from the braided cable, rubbing on my sweater when I moved my head.

[@itamarwjr92]

For what I have seen, the MIC return that Boba was using was too loud. I believe mine is 0,5 and his was on 2, or something like that. The passive noise cancel is good and you can't hear someone talking behind you, so it's just lower the return volume or disable it.

Do you have any recommendations for competitive gaming headsets? I tried these out and loved the sorround sound but i noticed it did use up around 4% of my cpu. Dod u know any thing that can come close to this

[@BobasLife]

Not currently. If you want competitive a gaming headset I would probably recommend the Logitech G733 Wireless. The surround not as good as the the jbl’s but they have a decent surround.

Just subscribed after this video Boba! I enjoy that you provide all the information that is needed and are honest about your opinion. I’m thinking of purchasing a wired headset around the price range of $100, is there another one in your opinion at this time with better surround sound or comfort?

[@jayatemara2434]

Have anyone compare this with bluedio Victory (not V2) ?

[@carassiq5386]

Hi! Could you please check if noise filters or any sound preprocessing in windows/software settings was turned on during mic test? Because Quantum 100 and even my ultra cheap Sennheiser PC Chat 5 has much better mic sound, like more bass, juicer mid frequencies. Mic sounds like it has software noise reduction, so could we turn it off? For example pluging via 3.5 mm jack

[@abushushu666]

Does it work on ps5?

Something to note is that the included USB-C charging cable is pseuo-proprietary. It is VERY difficult to fit a normal USB-C cable into the headset because it has a strange, non-circular shape where the actual input jack is. If you lose the included cable, it may pose a problem.

Super cool video, i got these in an amazing deal for 50$ at Marshall's , so I'm pretty satisfied with them I think the volume is a little bit low in the highs but after that It's a pretty roundabout headset , the microphone is pretty clear a lil bit sad because it's detachable but it is moveable. The software it has is pretty good and enough for a medium range pair of headset. Awesome video! Would recommend if you get it in a deal but for 100$ I think there's better options than this.
