Reviewer score 27%
Reviewers from rtings have found the following***:
The JBL Quantum 400 aren't very portable due to their bulky design, non-detachable microphone, and total absence of a carrying case. They don't block out ambient noise very effectively, especially in the lower bass range, which includes sounds like bus and plane engines. Thankfully, they have a very good microphone that's well suited for speaking to teammates, even in loud environments.

Pros
  • Very good microphone
  • Good overall performance
  • Decently comfortable
Cons
  • Bass-heavy sound profile
  • No on-board call controls
