The JBL Quantum 100M2 is JBL’s entry wired gaming headset: one 3.5mm plug, 40mm drivers tuned to JBL QuantumSOUND Signature, a detachable boom microphone and a light 220 g frame with memory foam ear cushions. There is no battery to charge and no software to install, so it works the moment you plug it into a controller, a laptop or a phone. This page covers the purple JBL Quantum 100M2, a lilac finish that suits colourful desk setups.

JBL Quantum 100M2 Sound: 40mm Drivers
Each ear cup carries a 40mm dynamic driver with a 20Hz to 20kHz frequency response. JBL tunes the JBL Quantum 100M2 to its QuantumSOUND Signature, which aims to make footsteps, reloads and voice chat easy to place in a mix full of explosions. The official figures are 96 dB SPL sensitivity at 1 kHz/1 mW and 32 ohm impedance, which means a phone, a controller jack or a laptop drives it to a loud level without an amplifier.
On Windows the headset is compatible with Windows Sonic for Headphones, Microsoft’s built-in spatial sound mode, which you switch on in the Windows sound settings.
The Detachable Directional Boom Mic
The boom microphone has a directional pickup pattern, so it favours your voice over keyboard clatter and fan noise. JBL lists a 100Hz to 10kHz response and -42 dBV/Pa sensitivity. A windshield foam comes in the box to soften breath noise, and there is a mute function for when you need to cough or talk to someone in the room.
Because the mic detaches, the JBL Quantum 100M2 doubles as plain headphones for music or a train ride without a stick in front of your face.
Comfort for Long Sessions
At 220 g the headset is light, and the over-ear cushions use memory foam wrapped in breathable fabric, which stays cooler than leatherette in a warm room. The earcup openings measure about 6.1 x 4.9 cm inside, enough to sit around most ears rather than on them. The headband is lightweight and keeps clamping pressure moderate for long evenings.
Where You Can Plug It In
A single 3.5mm jack on a 1.2 m cable connects the JBL Quantum 100M2 to PC, Mac, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, mobile devices and VR headsets with a 3.5mm port, as JBL’s compatibility graphic shows. On PlayStation and Xbox, plug it into the controller. Some PCs have separate headphone and microphone jacks; those need a splitter, which is not included.
The Purple Finish
JBL announced the JBL Quantum 100M2 in black, white, purple and cyan. The purple is a soft lilac across the headband, cups and mic, with matching cushions. It suits a pastel or RGB-lit setup and is easy to spot in a shared gaming room. Fabric cushions in a light colour show make-up and dust sooner than black ones; brush them with a soft dry brush and wipe the plastic with a damp cloth.
Who This Is Not For
The JBL Quantum 100M2 is wired only, so it is not for anyone who wants to walk away from the desk or use Bluetooth. There is no USB connection and no on-board surround processing; spatial sound depends on Windows Sonic or the console. The 1.2 m cable is short for a PC tower on the floor, so you may need a 3.5mm extension. There is no RGB lighting, and if you want a discreet look, the black version suits an office better than purple.
