Review: These are great headphones - Honestly, I was very hesitant to purchase these after reading sooner if the reviews saying that they were heavy, poorly made, broken software etc. but I bought them regardless (at the discounted price of $159) they seemed like they would be worth the gamble. So, are they good? Plainly, absolutely they are excellent especially at that price. At $159 there isn't another headset that is even in the same league. Pros: Stellar sound quality: (soundstage is small because they are closed back but imaging is top notch.) Even on warzone where many other wireless headsets get muddy these maintain their separation and footsteps where accurate and audible. Solid build quality: they are not light but nowhere near heavy. Earpads are so stinky soft and the memory foam is some of the best I've seen. Clamping for is light to medium, just enough so it won't fall off your head but not so bad that you'll get a headache. Buttons are tactile and the RGB looks great. Software: it works as intended. Nothing fancy but accomplishes what it aims to do. Cons: Active noise cancelling needs some work and for the most part is a gimmick in a gaming headset. Don't get me wrong it works but if you move your head around the mic on the outside that is used to monitor the ambient noise freaks out and makes the audio cut in and out. Just turn it off and you're good to go. I'm sure this can be fixed with software down the road and shouldn't be the reason you pass on this headset. Mic: passable but nothing to bank on. It will be able to get you through games and phone calls but it's a little tinny and hallow compared to others. Final thoughts: buy this headphones if you're in the market for a well built and excellent sounding wireless headset. Do not buy it for the ANC or the mic because these just aren't the best implementations of either. Also do not buy at the MSRP of $200. Anything south of that price and these are a steal!
Review: What's Up With The Negative Reviews? - I have been waiting awhile now for these JBL headphones to drop and I am glad I waited. They fit very nicely and the ear cups are a little small but my ears are not gigantic like dumbo so that is okay. They keep outside noises out well even with the ANC off, with it on they are amazing, all I hear is my tinnitus before I hop on the game. I do like the led lights, I have not used them to the full extent on pc, I am waiting for parts to build a new one. My current PC has windows 7 (yes I know out of date) it downloaded the driver's for the wireless usb adapter provided and i had no problems. They worked amazingly with World of Warcraft and had minimal problems on Discord. The microphone overall is very clear but very sensitive as well, and I love the mute feature on the mic when you put it in the upright position. I use it mainly on my xbox one x and it doesn't even have to be on, since xbox does not support bluetooth headsets. Another thing is the adjustments on the overhead part of the headphones itself is very touchy and slides easily so be careful while setting them for your huge cranium or small noggin. Overall I feel the cons are too small for the pros, the surround sound is very clear and the headset itself is very clear, I have had no static or crackling issues with it so far.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Poorly Packaged (Edit✓Second Wind)
*by N***N on May 22, 2020*

3rd Update June 23rd 2021: After they replaced my model for the what seems like too many times.. The headset has been holding up okay but it hasn't been without issues along the way. Still overall love the design but a bit wonky with the microphone especially after it bends over time and loses its original form Making it less than ideal for longevity and clarity. Wouldn't highly recommend this Unless it was on a very decent sale and even then paired with its battery life It's debatable as to whether you would say you got your money's worth. Originally I got it for the RGB (which is fantastic by the way) I just can't see myself using them however due to how quickly it seems to lose it's charge particularly without the capability of charging while using which I believe is its biggest flaw! If there's one thing I can mention in their defense, is that JBL has stood by its product for the duration of time. So I will be loyal- however slightly more cautious upon their gaming related line of gear. 2nd Update: There was a software update and it broke my headphones, they no longer power-on waiting for support as I no longer have working headphones... 1st Update: Let me first say the software is pretty finicky. Spent been a couple hours trying to update it..only to give up and go to bed to find out the next morning it was up to date mysteriously. Super so let's get into it. Equalizer works very well, Software is neat, Great highs and lows epic bassline. looks phenomenal like I don't even ever want to go back to the way it was before! In comparison how does it sound to the JBL 400? Significantly better, how is the function in its current state??.. Well let's just say the wired counterpart works out of the box whereas the wireless model needs the firmware updated and that could take some time. (In its current state) Unfortunately no thanks to support haven't really been able to speak to anybody for some reason I was speaking to India's support, and they give me the runaround so I just ended up taking care of it myself. Verdict- As it is my first JBL item and as a hardcore gamer I'd like to think this is a fantastic piece of equipment... My only issue is I'm not sure if one of the speakers is having issues at max volume as it sounds a little shaky. With that said it's definitely worth the money will try to upload better pictures stay tuned, and will keep you updated on The wear and tear. Original review: Was never more excited in my life for but for this headset. Waiting on the edge of my seat all week! f First pair of JBL headphones, and oh boy did I luck out. -_- *Did not include the USB dongle I am not able to connect it to my device as it is missing the USB dongle...??? Signs that it may have been opened previously, Will update with further information but as of yet I am unable to test the device. (Looks and feels good but oh wait it's the Quantum 400 series ?!!!!) **Received the wrong model+ & Am missing the USB dongle... ** --Will write a proper review when I received the proper item.
