The headphones(JBL quantum 100) are new and im sure they are not broken. I found a way to kind of fix it by plugging them in a old xbox one controller but its still not great. 

Please help!

Welcome!

 

What are they connected to, and how are they connected, when you are having the issues?

Be sure to QUOTE or TAG me in your reply so I see it!

The headphones are connected to my desktop PC. They use 3.5 mm jack.

They are plugged in all the way firmly.

Then cram it so deep in there the treble will be there no more and bass will be damn bassy as hell!

 

Kidding aside, did you try it with other sources like phone, mp3-player or any other devices? It could be the headphone is a bad unit.

Tried my other headphones too and had the same problems. On my phone I tried airpods and they were very quiet, tried the JBL ones and when I enabled the equalizer thing in sound settings and max out the bass it sounded normal.

If other headphones have the same problem looks like an issue with your PC.

 

Motherboard onboard or sound card,  updated drivers ?

 

Front or rear ports ?

 

Tried a different port, should let you pick the device plugged in or allow different 'mapping' of which audio channels are on which ports.

 

If there is say actual damage or fault to your onboard, easiest would be a soundcard or external amp/DAC/interface setup.
