Gaming headsets are as professional as a gaming mouse, keyboard, or custom rifle. A good headset helps to survive online, allowing you to catch the sounds of enemy steps in time, quickly understand where they are shooting at you from, or swear at a partner who rushed with a knife at a machine gunner. The only problem is that good headsets from Razer and SteelSeries often cost like video cards, which confuses ordinary gamers. JBL caught the request from gamers and launched a new line of gaming headsets with the telling name JBL Quantum in 2020.


Almost all representatives of Quantum are classic on-ear headphones of a closed type. Depending on the model, the connection can be wired, wireless and combined. To simplify, all members of the Quantum family have a number in their name, and the higher it is, the cooler and more expensive the model. The most popular are the simple JBL Quantum 100 and Quantum 200 headsets, which take their toll primarily at a low price. For Quantum 200 in stores they ask for a little more than $60, and Quantum 100 can be found in general for $35-40. Naturally, the quality of speech transmission and the virtualization of multichannel sound are at the initial level.

At the same time, the JBL Quantum One and Quantum 800 caliber models are in a different weight category and compete with flagship headsets from Razer, Logitech and HyperX. The first one supports an incredible number of different sound enhancers, is equipped with an active noise reduction system, colorful RGB backlighting and a separate calibration microphone. The Quantum 800 looks a bit simpler — it's a more traditional gaming headset, with active noise cancellation, Quantum SOUND Signature support and RGB lighting. Both headsets have detachable microphones.
