Our Verdict

Logitech Zone Wired

JBL Quantum 100

The Logitech Zone Wired are better office headphones than the JBL Quantum 100. The Logitech are more comfortable, much sturdier-feeling, and offer a better-balanced listening experience as well as a decently comprehensive companion app. Conversely, the over-ear JBL have an even better detachable boom microphone that makes your voice sound fuller-bodied. The JBL also have a 1/8” TRRS audio cable connection that’s compatible with a wider range of devices.
