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.

These are great. Use them as phone headset

I have the Bose nc 700, Bose Quite Comfort 35, Sony WH-1000XM4, and Sennheiser Momentum 3. The JBL Quantum One is better than all of those. It has better sound and the build quality is awesome. None of the wireless bluetooth headsets work very well due to bluetooth audio vs bluetooth headset codec differences. If you notice the sound quality is horrible when the microphone is enabled on bluetooth headsets. This is why. The Bose 700, Sony, and Sennheiser all suffer from this problem. The only one that doesn't is the Bose 35, but that's because they require you to plug a wire in to use the microphone. What is the point of getting a wireless headset that requires you to wire it in for headset functionality? For best functionality make sure to install JBL's software and go through the noise cancelling setup.

I bought these to replace an Audeze Mobius headset that had the headband crack (common problem for those). The Mobius had phenomenal audio quality all around, and was great for gaming. Head tracking, properly configured is a must (IMO) for good placement of sounds in gaming. The JBL actually has slightly better audio placement in games (very 3D, can tell height and location very clearly), and I have enjoyed using them when gaming. The ANC is a nice bonus although I don't *really* need it. However, they are not as much of an all-around headphone, the quality of sound is decent but not great (then again, it's hard to beat Audezes for music, IMHO). The game/voice mixer knob is a very nice feature too, and works reliably unlike SteelSeries' buggy setup that is almost impossible to get working right (and impossible to KEEP working right if you ever do). A couple minor notes: 1) The bass may be a bit too hyped out of the box. I used the built-in software to create a user preset to cut the bass a little to make it more comfortable for using for longer periods (and more balanced in general). 2) The head position can sometimes drift a little bit, but is easily corrected by pressing the centering button on the earcup. So all in all, I recommend this headphone as a great gaming headset that offers near-but-not-quite-audiophile music reproduction.

18 month update: STILL TRASH… DO NOT BUY!!! I am on set #3 and 4 (yes I have two more after two previous failures). One is still brand new in package and the one I’ve been using has NO RGB on the right side, the mic crackles terribly so I just threw it somewhere months ago, and the delay on an Elite 2 controller is straight “a double s”. Imagine spending FIVE HUNDRED USD For a controller/headset combo that performs like a Sony Walkman headset from the 90s! In my opinion, this lousy headset has earned every bit of its “This is a frequently returned item” badge. First off, the calibration mic DOES NOT WORK. I am on set #3 and the PC can never “detect the calibration mic”, so there’s that. Second, the volume is HORRIBLE for a JBL product!!! I have $40 Skullkandy headsets that blow this outta the water! Third, the microphone IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH XBOX Series S/X, as I have tried EVERY. SINGLE. SETTING… on the headset AND the console, alas, nobody can hear me in any game, party, public chat etc. Fourth, the spatial audio works perfectly for some supported games, and terribly for others. It’s absurd that JBL/Harmon found a $300 price point for such a heap of junk acceptable. In fairness, I will say the RGB effects & customization capabilities are cool, but you will need a PC with updated software/drivers. Also, the noise cancelling feature is solid, very solid, but still, these qualities do not justify the $300 purchase price… or even the $149 sale price at which I got it. BUYER BEWARE!!!!

Work as advertised-Good price

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.

Good sound quality, decent mic quality. However, I'm on year 2 of using this headset frequently, and some of the ear muff material is falling off. Also the most obnoxious defect since day 1 (that I should have honestly sent it back for) is that the power cable comes loose very easily from the headset itself. To the point where sometimes it'll be a slight bump from being juuust not plugged in enough and it'll kill the sound, and sometimes you can fix it by pushing it back in, other times you have to 100% unplug and replug to fix it. Annoying, but not the end of the world I guess. Also, the volume setting is easy to bump or on rare occasions will turn up or down a notch quick makes a headset software sound, which is also not a big deal, just one of those quirks I got used to.

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.
