If saving money is your priority and you need headphones mainly for gaming or watching TV, the JBL Quantum 100 would be a suitable choice with very good gaming and mic quality as well as a boom mic for clear communication. However, if you're looking for top-notch sound in music, calls, and video, with additional features like active noise cancelling, sweatproof construction, wireless capability with both AAC and AptX Adaptive codecs, and the latest Neurable AI technology for optimizing daily activities, then the Master & Dynamic MW75-Neuro may justify its higher price. The MW75-Neuro also offers better build quality and comfort, and it's suitable for a wider range of activities, including air travel and exercise, although they are less portable. Give Feedback

CNN Underscored
Wes Davis | July 2023
"I appreciate a functional piece of tech as much as I do gear on the bleeding edge, and the JBL Quantum 100 certainly falls in the former category. The sound is reasonably good, the built-in microphone is surprisingly reliable and it has a thoughtful design for the price. It lacks the convenience of Bluetooth, sure, but sometimes it’s nice not to have to worry about the finicky nature of wireless communication and go with good old hard-wired tech."
