JBL Quantum 910P - High-End Price, Middling Audio | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

With Dolby Atmos support making its way to PS5 in an upcoming system software update, it’s never been more important to have a quality pair of headphones. With Sony already offering up its own brilliant set of cans in the form of the Sony INZONE series, it might be a little daunting to move outside the Sony ecosystem to a company like JBL. Well, that’s exactly what we did, as for the last few weeks we’ve been trying out the JBL Quantum 910P headset, a $300 product that's taking aim at the console market.

The JBL Quantum 910P is a wireless over-ear headset specifically designed for console gaming. It can wirelessly pair up with the PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and PC via a dongle, with the latter two also having the option of Bluetooth. Sadly, Xbox consoles can only use the Quantum 910P through a 3.5mm wired connection. Once connected you’ll enjoy features such as active noise cancelling, spatial 360 audio, 2.4GHz low latency wireless, a voice focus flip-up boom mic, and even RGB lighting. Although it has to be noted that only the dongle will net you the spatial audio feature.

All of that will set you back £279.99 here in the UK and $299.95 in the US. This is a pretty steep asking price, however, we’re in the higher echelons of gaming headsets, and it’s a relatively comparable price to something like the Sony INZONE H9 at launch.

The unboxing experience is very simplistic — as is the case with most headphones these days. Removing the sturdy sleeve and opening the internal black cardboard box, you’ll find the Quantum 910P wrapped in a soft branded draw-string bag. While it doesn’t offer much in the way of protection, we’d still be happy to have it if we ever needed to chuck the headset in a backpack for some travelling.

Othe
