JBL Quantum gaming headphone features and specifications

All the Quantum gaming headphones support PC, Mac, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Mobile and VR platforms. When it comes to the build, these gaming headphones sport flip-up or detachable boom microphones with echo cancelling technology for clarity in communication and a better gameplay.

While the PU leather-wrapped memory foam ear cushions can be found on the JBL Quantum 100, 200, 300 and 400 models, the premium leather-wrapped memory foam ear cushions are there on the Quantum 600, 800 and Quantum ONE headphones.

All of them feature JBL’s QuantumSOUND Signature tech for a more immersive experience along with a 3.5mm headphone slot. However, only JBL Quantum 100 and 200 are wired over-ear headphones, while the Quantum 400 and Quantum One are USB wired over ear headsets. The Quantum 600 and 800 are wireless headphones, and the 300 is the hybrid over-ear headphone.

While all of them feature noise cancellation, only the Quantum 800 and Quantum One gaming headphones come with active noise cancellation. The other six have passive noise cancelling.

Interestingly, the most powerful in the lineup, Quantum One features all but one tech - JBL QuantumSurround, which by the way, is there in 300, 400, 600 and 800. However, Quantum One does have 20Hz-40kHz frequency response, 100Hz-10kHz microphone frequency response, 97 dB, 32 Ohm and 50mm Dynamic Drivers.
