JBL Quantum 600 Wireless Over-Ear Eaming Headset with Microphone and RGB, PC and PS Wirelessly Compatible Only, in Black

Product Information

Starting off, the Quantum 600 definitely keeps with JBLs typical design aesthetic; If you have a scroll through the JBL catalogue it’s easy to see the Quantum 600 are the gamer cousins to some of JBL’s over-ear headphones. Battery life is average on the JBL Quantum 600, with the headphones running for around 10 hours on a charge Reminiscent of a car’s paint this adds a sweet quality feel to the whole headset. If I didn’t know better I would think it was actual lacquered paint; it feels sleek and polished and it looks fantastic. It’s a super unique touch to feature this style of paint/plastic. It shimmers slightly under light, reminding you that you are dealing with a decent piece of hardware made by a high-quality manufacturer. Enter battles with confidence. Explore new worlds. Perfect your play. JBL Quantum products are developed by designers and engineers passionate about immersing players into their favorite games, with audio that’s almost too good to be true. When ‘wireless connectivity' is mentioned on a pair of headphones, it's usually assumed to be Bluetooth. However, Bluetooth has its weaknesses for gaming, primarily when it comes to latency. The typical delay in sound transmission can mean the difference between in-game life and death, so Bluetooth is usually avoided in favour of wired connections on gaming headphones. The JBL Quantum 600 does have a detachable 3.5mm cable for traditional wired connectivity, but the use of proprietary 2.4GHz wireless connectivity adds some utility for gaming while avoiding the latency issues of Bluetooth technology.

Wireless connectivity ensures stable and largely latency-free sound transmission on the JBL Quantum 600; there was no audible delay in the sound, and it was the same quality of transmission as using the headphones with the 3.5mm headphone cable. Let’s get the hardware itself out of the way before actually talking about how it sounds. Bells and whistles

While it is possible to use the JBL Quantum 600 without this software, setting up the Quantum Surround feature or DTS tuning on the headphones requires it. Without it, you'll have to rely on the default tuning of the headset, and you won't have access to any of the additional tuning and adjustable equaliser settings. As far as audio offerings it does support Windows Sonic, DTS, Dolby Atmos and special audio in software. I personally found Atmos remained my favourite as it has always been when available, as DTS and Sonic spatial audio didn’t seem to provide a huge improvement for me, but this may also differ based on the games you play and enjoy. Playing the popular PUBG Mobile on an Android smartphone with the headphones plugged in, the only real complaint I had was that the sound was a bit soft even at the highest volume. In a quiet room, this wasn't a problem, and I could hear both game audio and voice chat clearly enough. The directional tuning was on point, as was detail and the spaciousness of the sound which gave me a decent feel of the game. I won thefirst round of PUBG Mobile that I played wearing the JBL Quantum 600, with much credit going to being able to accurately sense where enemies were based on the sounds of gunfire and footsteps.The JBL Quantum 600 has a frequency response range of 20-20,000Hz, and is powered by 50mm dynamic drivers. In the box is the headset, USB dongle for wireless connectivity, a 3.5mm headphone cable, and a USB Type-C cable to charge the headphones. The USB Type-C port on the headset is only for charging, and does not support direct USB connectivity with a source device.

The audio mix balancer lets you choose how you want to tune the sound; you can have it favour in-game audio or chat, or set the right mix between the twoCompatible with all platforms*, each headset features the JBL QuantumSOUND Signature–extra-large lightweight drivers tuned by JBL for the best audio in gaming. I also tested the JBL Quantum 600 headphones for voice communication on my MacBook Air, using it for numerous conference calls on Zoom, Google Meet, Cisco Webex, and other platforms. When set to the Chat configuration and with the audio mix balancer set all the way to Chat, voices were loud, clear, and very easy to discern. The spaciousness of the sound took some of the usual edge and shrillness out of conference calls even at the highest volumes. The JBL Quantum 600s range seemed pretty good, I was perfectly able to walk away from my setup into my kitchen without ever losing audio or communication. This would be just over maybe 10 meters away so it seems to hold the general standard if not exceed it.
