The brand also unveils three new additions to its over-ear gaming headset lineup

New competitors can take the stage as JBL expands its award-winning gaming product portfolio with several new JBL Quantum devices. Today, JBL launches its first USB microphone, the JBL Quantum Stream. As its name suggests, the dual-condenser microphone is perfect for coordinating with teammates, bringing crystal-clear communication to the center of the action as a standalone solution. Plus, the reversible stand provides 360-degree movement, with additional options included for a variety of other mounting options. The JBL Quantum Stream is joined by the brand’s first true wireless gaming headset, the JBL Quantum TWS, as well as three new over-ear headsets: the JBL Quantum 910, JBL Quantum 810 and JBL Quantum 610.

Be heard loud and clear with the JBL Quantum Stream, thanks to the 2 x 14mm dual-capsule Electret condenser with 24bit and 96kHz sampling rate. Two selectable voice pickup patterns allow users to focus the microphone’s capture on just the speaker’s voice or capture everyone’s voice in the room if recording a podcast or on a group call. Opting for a covert mission? Tap the top button to mute, which will activate an RGB indicator light for ease of use when in the middle of a battle – or conference call. The setup couldn’t be easier, with the JBL Quantum Stream’s universal mounting solution and seamless voice monitoring control. Users can simply mount the stand to fit their gaming setup and control their voice volume directly on the microphone.

For gamers who prefer an in-ear, wire-free experience, the JBL Quantum TWS is here to deliver. Complete with the incredibly realistic JBL QuantumSURROUND™, listeners can experience the best spatial surround sound solution in the game, coupled with True Adaptive Noise Cancelling and Ambient Aware features to control outside noises and minimize distractions. The included USB-C dongle brings a low latency connection to players on a PC, Mac, PlayStation®, Nintendo Switch and supported mobile devices. The JBL Quantum TWS also supports two connections at the same time so players can connect to their preferred gaming device via USB-C dongle, plus a Bluetooth connection on a mobile device so they never miss a call. The lightweight design makes the JBL Quantum TWS ideal for long gaming sessions, and the IPX5 sweat resistance rating ensures durability when using on the go.

JBL has also introduced a new, top-of-the-line over-ear wireless gaming headset with the brand’s proprietary head-tracking technology, the JBL QuantumSPHERE 360™, for the first time in a wireless form factor. The JBL Quantum 910 gives players next-gen audio accuracy to improve their natural instincts in-game. Hi-res certified 50mm drivers powered by the JBL QuantumSOUND™ Signature maximize the tiniest details to give an audio edge in battle. Active Noise Cancelling allows players to tune out distractions and stay fully immersed in the game, while the dual wireless solutions – lossless 2.4G wireless and Bluetooth 5.2 – provide gaming-grade connectivity with a 24-hour battery life. Play endlessly with the JBL Quantum 910’s Play & Charge feature with the included USB charging cable.

“JBL continues to create smart solutions for gamers of all levels,” said Ralph Santana, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer at HARMAN. “As the first standalone microphone and true wireless headset in the JBL Quantum lineup, the JBL Quantum Stream and JBL Quantum TWS were created to meet the needs of gamers, streamers and podcasters, alongside our robust – and growing – range of over-ear gaming headsets. With the addition of the JBL Quantum 910, players can enjoy our exclusive head-tracking technology, now in a new wireless form factor, for the ultimate competitive advantage.”

Also joining the JBL Quantum range in 2022 are the JBL Quantum 810 and JBL Quantum 610*, a honoree recipient for the prestigious CES® 2022 Innovation Awards*. Similar to the JBL Quantum 910, these models feature JBL QuantumSURROUND™ and DTS Headphone:X 2.0 for the ultimate audio immersion, along with a voice-focus flip-up microphone and a durable, lightweight construction for optimal comfort during long gaming sessions. All JBL Quantum headsets and the JBL Quantum Stream microphone are compatible with the JBL QuantumENGINE™ PC software for full customization of audio and RGB lighting effects (select models only). The JBL Quantum TWS is also compatible with the JBL Headphones app for customization while on the go.
