JBL Quantum One - USB wired over-ear professional gaming headset with head-tracking enhanced JBL QuantumSPHERE 360, Active noise cancelling and Hi-Res certified sound (Black)

I am blown away by this headset. I have never really owned anything like it, and am thrilled with all of the features it packs. The build quality feels superb, and the sound can be too, and it has all kinds of EQ and Spatial Audio settings to really tune it so it sounds how you want it to. The design is really cool looking, and I love the RGB effects, which give it that personal touch. The headset is fairly large, but also highly adjustable, so it should fit most users okay. I am probably the most impressed with the active noise cancellation and head tracking technologies that the headset has. It has a gyroscope in it, so if you’re using Spatial Audio, you can turn your head, and the audio will move with it, which I just have never seen anything like. Though I feel I can give it five stars for the way I’m using it, I will point out a few potential downsides that may be a detriment depending on your situation. First and foremost, though you can use this thing on PC, console and mobile, I would not recommend it for Console or Mobile, as many of its features won’t really work without the PC software. Also, it is a wired headset, which I prefer, but some users may not, If these downsides are problems to you, you may want to look into the JBL quantum 910 that may not be as high spec, but are wireless and have an “X” and “P” variant that are marketed towards Xbox and PlayStation respectively, and thus are probably more compatible with console.

I'm not sure what all these other folks with mediocre reviews are griping about with these headphones. I've been around audio for the last 30 years and these things are dang near perfect for the audiophile tweaker, gamer, casual listener, Zoomer, etc. It could be the honeymoon phase, but I don't think so. I got them for the half price deal, (week of 11/23/20) and I've used them non-stop for the last few days and I've found very little to complain about. The current version of the JBL QuantumENGINE app seems VG so far for me. The spatial sounds and DTS modes work well, and even with all those bells and whistles turned off these are solid sounding headphones and would be hard to beat. I've had a pair of Audio Technica ATH-M50Xs for the past couple years and straight up L/R these JBLs keep pace with the ATs. I ordered some HyperX and Razer models along side because I wanted to be able to do a true comparison, and I'm here to tell you there is no contest. JBL's hands down. They are pretty comfortable and I'm more of an earbud guy vs an over-the-ear. The mic is a little short, I'd prefer one less spongy and more tactile; Durability, who knows time will tell, they are 100% plastic; I would have made the other end of the cord USB-C if I were JBL and just included an adapter, but I understand why they did it the way they did; If I were stretching, I'd of wanted there a way to allow them to be used wirelessly too. Anyway, we'll see if my opinion changes after using them for some time but I was compelled to review and defend these headphones from the haters. Now I will concede, I probably wouldn't have hit the buy button at $300 so I'll give the haters that much. Peace!

Overall sound is great with the Quantum One headset. I was up in the air on purchasing the wireless version or wired, and overall pleased with the wired. I have Sony earbuds so I really don't need wireless and these are exclusive to my laptop setup. This has a removal boom mic which if you're not careful can pull out slightly if you're not paying attention. I adjusted my mic through the JBL software to have a very light side tone as a mild reminder my microphone is plugged in. Side tone adjustments work great and I didn't think I would consider this a feature until I used it. I'm running a gaming laptop, which when I'm running in performance or turbo mode is loud with the fans to keep the system cool. The mic is crystal clear when I'm in game or Discord. Sound profiles are great and are a pleasant feature from switching from movies, music and then to gaming. The ANC works well. I tried to turn if off and really couldn't tell a difference, but for me I'm OK with this since my fans are typically loud and enjoy the quiet when I'm gaming. This could be a setting I'm using as I'm still fine tuning my setup. Overall, very pleased. I got these for 50% off which made the deal that much sweeter. JBL makes really nice products in my mind. I was gifted a blue tooth speaker which got me interested in them.

They are a good pair of headphones with the typical recommendation to install their software for lighting options (who cares? They're headphones, not decorative indoor lighting) and other features that can mostly be achieved through software (equalization, surround sound, and various things that can be done in PulseEffects or EasyEffects on Linux). I know the days of efficient software are long past, but really, a program using 256MB of R.A.M. just to manage some settings on my headset? Not long ago, my whole computer had that much memory. The built-in sounds/notifications for things like startup noise cancellation are Ridiculously Loud, so loud that I make sure to toggle them only when I'm not actually wearing the headset. I can hear "ANC On" perfectly loudly and clearly with the headphones held a foot or two away from my head. I haven't found any way to reduce the volume of these things. Their software did not work at all on my Mac; it ran, but did not detect that the headset was plugged in. If you care about using their software, then that is a significant limitation. The only thing I wanted to do was turn off the pointless and distracting lighting (I couldn't see it when I was wearing them, of course, but unfortunately could when they were on my desk or the stand), but that can be done using a button on the headset. They are slightly bulky, but not incredibly so, and consider that they do have both U.S.B. and 3.5mm connectivity (both of which work great) as well as active noise cancellation, which works quite well. The default U.S.B. is a bit scratch and it makes a very noticeable sound as it slides against my clothing or things on my desk when I move or turn my head, but I can minimize it by positioning things carefully.

I had issues with a prior headset so I figured I'd drop a bit of extra money to get a better more reliable product. I use JBL for a lot of things and most the time I have been very pleased with the quality. This on the other hand. WOOF. Everything was great about this headset at first. The sound was great. The mic was very clear. It was comfortable. And I thought the software was good with a decent UI. But this software eventually became the bane of my existence. After the first day my computer would not "see" this product. Meaning in the list of sound options on windows it disappeared. I would have to unplug it and replug it in and select it fast enough before it "forgot" it was there. This also caused my other devices to have issues occasionally. After some basic googling I found loads of threads saying people have the same issue with varying fixes from removing the software altogether to rolling back to a previous update, to messing with the guts of windows to try to make it work. I messed with some of these options, but when it made all my audio devices stop working I said enough is enough. For a $300 headset this is absolutely unacceptable. Fortunately I was within a week of my return date so I was able to recoup my loss. I might be the small minority of people who had this issue, but enough people DID have this issue that I could find multiple threads with potential fixes. But I would not risk it. The software is junk and I'd invest your $300 elsewhere. You can buy a more reliable product for 1/4 of the cost of this piece of junk. I'm back to using my old Razer and I think I'm going to stick with it for the time being. This whole ordeal and the prior set I bought that also had issues really turned me off looking for gaming headsets for the time being.

These are great. Use them as phone headset

Don't expect it to last two years. The specialized mixing cord went out at the beginning of year two, then there was a sudden decrease in sound quality followed by the microphone going out, all around the same time. Definitely feels like they planned when the parts would stop working because it all started happening at once.

When I bought these, they were amazing. Sound quality was great though the volume was low. Good bass response, good sound overall. The headtracker in the software worked but I never used it; it didn't really apply to what I was using these for. With that said, these are not worth buying if you're planning on using them for more than a few months. Yeah, they're great for a few months but then they started disconnecting themselves and restarting even though they're wired. I've seen a good amount of people with the same issue on Reddit and no one knows how to fix it. So they became a paperweight because when this started happening, it was too late to return them. I hate this because I have been a long time fan of JBL. Great concept and sound engineering, but it doesn't last. For $300, it should work for more than a few months. I'm giving 3 stars because the audio quality really was that good, but it just didn't last long enough to justify this price.

Bin rundum zufrieden Danke.

Le sons dans le casques est vraiment super. Il coupe les bruits extérieurs

Lo uso para la xbox series S, va bien se le saca más provecho en PC con su aplicación. La aplicación está en la pag. Oficial de JBL

Eu estou usando o produto por dois dias e devo dizer que a qualidade do som para ouvir é incrível. O JBL Quantum ONE tem um programa próprio que permite você mudar as cores do LED, fazer mudanças de equalizador e possui som espacial e tracker de cabeça. Infelizmente, a qualidade do som espacial do JBL QuantumSPHERE 360 deixou a desejar, porém no Stereo, o som é extremamente nítido e você pode perceber uma excelente qualidade. Eu não estou muito preocupado com o som surround, então o Stereo já me fez muito feliz e satisfeito. O grande defeito do headset é o microfone. A qualidade é muito pobre. Parece que você está falando de um rádio ou algo do tipo. Em geral estou bem satisfeito com a compra. Para usuários do dia a dia e apenas pra jogos, ele funciona muito bem. Se você busca maior qualidade de voz, esse fone não é pra você. Achei um pouco apertado na cabeça, mas talvez com o tempo a sensação melhore.

I brought these a few days ago and have been using them for 2 hours, I found that the sound was very tinny and not very nice to listen to. The directional audio was perfect and amazing but other then that everyone that was speaking seemed to be very compressed like the audio out of a gaming headset mic. However the build quality was amazing and the anc was alright. The major let down was the sound quality for the product, the sounds were very unbalanced between footsteps and people talking in game especially in a game like fiveM where you have to be able to hear people clearly. I could hear the game clearly but not what other players were saying unless they were right next to me and even then it was so muffled. I would say avoid these jbl quantum products and go for something that isn't the first gaming specific headset from the company. Good features but not the quality you expect from a product at this price point. Returned after 3 hours.
