Fantastic headset for gaming!
Really impressed with these headphones. They’re a massive upgrade from my previous pair. The sound quality for gaming is crisp, clear, and makes it much easier to pick up details in-game. The noise cancellation is also surprisingly good and helps block out distractions. One thing I noticed straight away was the comfort. They sit nicely around the ears without irritating my beard, and even after longer sessions they don’t hurt the top of my head like some headsets do. The only improvement I’d make is having a movable mic, as that would make them even more practical. Overall, highly recommend these if you’re looking for a comfortable gaming headset with great sound quality.

comfortable to wear
I have been using these headphones for last month for work calls, as I needed comfortable headphones that are comfortable to wear for long meetings and have good noise cancellation I took one star off as sometimes microphone unattaches itself, you can't talk or hear which can be annoying during the call but easily fixed. Given quality vs price point, they are very good value and I enjoy using them!

Jbl quantum 250 gaming
The value for the money of the JBL Quantum 250 Gaming Headphones, which I recently purchased, is quite impressive. The bass offers a wonderful experience without being overpowering, and the sound quality is clean and immersive, especially when gaming. With clear speech pickup, the microphone is useful for online meetings and team conversations. The headset's lightweight design and soft ear cushions make it comfortable to wear for extended gaming sessions. It was quick and simple to set up, and it functions flawlessly with both my PC and console. All things considered, this is a fantastic inexpensive gaming headset for anyone searching for dependable performance, comfortable design, and superb sound without going over budget.

Great product
This headset is super comfy. There is a button on the side where you can increase the volume I didn't realise that was there. I also like how you can amend the bass levels when using on a laptop.

Really good at this price
I’ve been using this headset for a few weeks now and it’s honestly pretty decent for what I paid. The sound feels good, the bass kicks in nicely and the treble is crisp, which makes explosions in games and the beat in music sound fun. I do notice the vocals are a bit quieter, classic JBL sound in my opinion, but it’s not a deal‑breaker. Comfort-wise it’s light and the headband is soft, so I can wear it for a couple of hours without feeling sore, the clamp isn't too strong at all. The large and spongy ear pads feel nice and comfortable. The mic works realky well in work meetings and mutes when I lift it, which is handy. The cable and mic come off easily, so replacing them wouldn’t be a hassle, I really.like this feature and haven't seen it anywhere before. Overall I think it's a solid pick if you want decent all round headset without splurging.

Super comfy and great sound
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are super comfy! I was surprised how lightweight and gentle these headphones were to wear. The sound is great and very clear. When talking to others they couldn’t hear outside noise like dogs or others in the house! Great initial packaging as well!

Nice headset
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The headphones themselves are very comfortable on the head and ears. The two downsides are they feel hollow and don’t have great bass. They do seem to be loud in sound when they are on the ears. The headset is good for gaming.

Solid and comfortable gaming headset
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Solid gaming headset. The mesh hammock makes the fit perfect without having to adjust. Just throw them on and you can wear them comfortably for a long time. The ability to replace that, and other parts, is welcome. Quantum spatial sound is very good. You can tell direction easily in game. All levels of sound are clear. Controls are simple. Volume wheel and mute button for detachable microphone.

Not wireless
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They fit very snuggly and sound amazing like typical JBL offers. Unfortunately they’re not wireless, however, that just eliminates the need for charging.

Comfortable fit with a high tech sound
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A lightweight comfortable fit with no harsh impact to the head or ears. The quality is good and has sturdy material making it good incase of accidents. Its a easy setup to connect with gaming pads and computers. Thanks to the 3.5 mm jack the sound quality is amazing and easy to customize the sound because of the JBL app, my favorite feature is the spatial sound which makes you feel like you are one with the game. The firmware has a great performance and no bugs.

Quality headset with solid performance!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Quantum 250 is a solid pick for gamers who want quality audio without spending a fortune. Its 50mm drivers and spacial sound makes for a really immersive experience and the lightweight design with fabric cushion stays comfortable even during long sessions. Whats super cool is the modular setup that lets you swap out the mic or cable if they wear out instead of buying a whole new pair. Its a simple, reliable plug and play headset that works with pretty much everything.

Good Solid Gaming Headset
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Quantum 250 is a solid, wired, multiplatform, gaming headset. It can be used on almost any platform, including PlayStation, Nintendo Switch or Xbox using the 3.5mm audio cable. At first, I was a little put off by the fact that it was wired, rather than wireless, but, in this case, being wired increases functionality across platforms. The headset is very soft and “plush” feeling, with padding and a mesh hammock meant to make it more comfortable for longer gaming sessions. The over the ear cushions are made of a soft fabric and they can be easily replaced, if need be. The mesh hammock in the headset that makes for a softer feel than having the band of the headset on your head. Even with all of the cushioning and the hammock insert, the headset felt a little tight on my head creating some tension. With more wear and adjustment to the over the ear style, I’m sure I’d get used to the feel of the headsets, but I took off one star for the feel of the headset during my initial wearing. Once I wore it for a while, it did begin to feel more comfortable though. There’s a detachable, noise-cancelling boom microphone with windshield foam that works well so those you are talking to can hear you loud and clear. In typical JBL fashion, the sound in the headsets is good and makes for enjoyable gaming sessions. JBL uses its Quantum Spatial Sound technology to give you that natural, accurate surround sound needed to bring your gaming sessions to life. If you are looking for a good, wired gaming headset that you can use across various platforms, check out the JBL Quantum 250. I could also see this headset being useful in the context of someone who works at home and who participates in a lot of long video/conference calls. I used it on a video call and the other person said that the sound was crisp and clear.

A solid budget offering from JBL
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There is something to be said about a basic headset that just works. These are simple to use and worked great on my PC and Xbox and seemed to work fine for my kids Nintendo Switch too. They look really cool and seem well made and reasonably durable which is what you expect from JBL at this price point. I’m a bit confused as the box and packaging lead me to believe that you can make additional adjustments via the JBL app however I don’t think that’s accurate since these seem to be an old school plug and play 3.5mm sorta setup. No batteries, no Bluetooth or anything like that. Perhaps I’m wrong but I didn’t get it to pair up and didn’t spend any extra time on it since I’m pretty sure this particular model doesn’t actually have that feature. The hard point here is that given the price, they’re just nothing super special. Personally.. it’s fine for my kid, he will use it and it saves me the headache of a wireless headset and pairing issues. But I already have a much nicer JBL Quantum 800 wireless headset that I very much enjoy and use for work, gaming, music, etc. I would encourage anyone who wants a more premium headset to spend a little more, but if you just want a decent durable headset for your kid to use for gaming, this is a fine choice. They are just that. Nothing special. Plug and play and try my work and have “good enough” audio quality, especially for a younger audience that’s not picky about high fidelity audio. They do have decent bass, but perhaps it’s just the lack of any noise cancellation they just sound a bit hollow. As far as we could tell, the microphone seems to be decent, it’s clear and for communication purposes it’s good enough for that but I wouldn’t suggest it for vlogging or anything where you need high quality audio. I honestly just see these being an option for kids more than anything else. If you’re an adult and you’re wanting something for daily use, I would pony up and buy one of JBLs more premium offerings.

Solid Sound, Setup Snags
JBL Quantum 250 gaming headphones deliver solid performance for the price. Sound quality shines with clear, immersive spatial audio, excellent noise isolation—even maxed-out nearby sounds fade away—and a natural-sounding, detachable mic that picks up every detail. Comfortable ear cushions are replaceable for long sessions, but the non-adjustable mic and need for a special AUX splitter (to run audio and mic simultaneously) can frustrate beginners. Overall, a great pick for casual gamers with the right setup.

Wired gaming headphones at a good price
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used these headphones plugged into my PC. They have good sound. The spatial sound allows you to hear where different things are coming from like shooting or footsteps. They are very comfortable with the hammock and ear cups both of which are replaceable, if ever needed. The microphone is good but wish it was adjustable. It does come with a windshield foam. The microphone is noise canceling so only your voice is heard. You can load Quantum Engine to personalize the sound you hear. The headphones feel good in my hands and are sharp looking.

Beautiful accent headphones that works
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s a beautiful pair of headphones by JBL. The design is stunning. The color accents are super nice. The design feels study. I love that it has a volume wheel you can adjust directly from headphones. There is another nice feature that you can remove the microphone if you don’t need it. It folds up nice and you can use for your laptop/phone or pc. Sound quality is good.
