JBL are offering up a quintuple of headsets just in time for the holidays
JBL have announced a new wave of headsets that are coming to stores this month and will offer up a range to choose from, depending on your platforms and budget.
“Since we ventured into the gaming space, our mission has always been to develop top-tier audio products for all-level gamers. JBL Quantum products provide gamers with outstanding sound features and innovative designs, allowing them to stay in the zone, loud and clear. Our JBL Quantum portfolio, including the new XBOX and PlayStation additions, give players at every level a competitive advantage for their console preferences”
The first of the new headsets are the Quantum 100N, a Switch themed headset but one that will work with all 3.5mm enabled devices. The headset includes a pair of 40mm dynamic drivers, which will let you hear the tiniest footsteps and the biggest explosions nice and clearly. Couple that with the lightweight headband and very soft memory foam ear cups, you should be able to wear it for those long sessions. If you use the headset on a Windows 10/11 PC or Xbox One console, you can take advantage of the Sonic Spatial Sound that it offers.
The headset includes a detachable microphone, which contains a directional pick up pattern and with a 1.2m long cable, you will have no issue with wearing it whilst plugged into your device of choice. Of course, the headset sports the now iconic red and blue from the Switch.
The RRP for this headset is $59.95
If you like what you saw above, but are not wild on the colours, then the Quantum 100M2 might be what you want to look at. Spec wise its almost the exact same, same drives, same microphone, same light weight design, there are only two differences.
The first is that the ear cups are material covered, and not the soft plastic of the ones above and the second is the colour range. There are four colours, the ones below and a white option, it even has the same RRP.
For those seeking a little more than the above, the Quantum 360 might be what you need. Most of the specs are the same, but the major differences is that one, the headset is wireless and two makes use of the JBL Quantum Surround technology.
For the wireless connection options it offers up both a 2.4GHz and the Bluetooth 5.2 connection methods, so it works with a large range of devices. With the inbuilt battery you can enjoy up to 22 hours of uninterrupted playtime and a comfortable, lightweight design with detachable, memory foam, fabric ear cushions for those marathon sessions.
The RRP for this headset is $169.95
The JBL Quantum 360 X/P feature DualSOURCE allowing wireless connection to two devices via Lossless 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth, as well as up to 22 hours of battery life, meaning players can stay connected with their teammates without delay.
Both contain 40mm drivers and offer up 22 hours of battery life, along with connections via Lossless 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth. The 360X supports Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and PC, with the 360P covering PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and PC.
The RRP for these headsets are $169.95
Rounding out the offerings, the JBL Quantum 910X and 910P are equipped with JBL QuantumSPATIAL 360 audio with integrated head tracking, allowing gamers to experience the very best spatial surround sound via the USB-A/C wireless connection on the console. With active noise cancelling, gamers can get rid of unwanted background sounds and fully immerse themselves in the game.
The Quantum 910P allows you to experience JBL QuantumSPATIAL 360 on PlayStation and Nintendo Switch via the USB-C dongle/adapter, bypassing the need for JBL QuantumENGINE. Its integrated head-tracking technology delivers the precision and acoustic immersion required for gaming success.
Additionally, JBL QuantumSPHERE 360, which is enabled by JBL QuantumENGINE through the USB-C dongle/adapter on Windows 10/11, offers professional-grade 3D audio positioning on your PC. All of that is driven by a pair of 50mm drivers and a range of battery life depending on use case from 34hrs up to 47hrs.
Everything for the Quantum 910X is the same, except it comes with a USB-A connector, for support on Xbox consoles, as well as there rest.
All the tech inside this one though means the RRP is $499.95
