Rated 3 out of 5 by TwistedSpoon from Decent, but... I bought this headset over a year ago and was super excited because I really enjoy their speakers. When I got the headset it was great, but within a couple months the left speaker began producing static every once in a while. It would sometimes resolve itself, or sometimes I had to unplug the headset and plug it back in. Another problem is the RGB lights produce a every so slight hum when turned on. This may not bother some, but it does me. Lastly, as of a week ago (over a year of owning the headset) the fabric around the earmuff cushioning is coming undone. This is likely due to natural wear and tear, but I wouldn't have expected it to happen so quickly.

Rated 3 out of 5 by reded from Great features let down by gimmicks and quality These headphones will probably appeal to a lot of people but for me I think too much time was spent on the gimmicks and not on the sound quality. The software install went painlessly but my first impression, the animated logo looking distorted and initially I thought something was up with it. The noise reduction worked well but why no way to turn it off? but the sound quality in the immersive modes was what killed it for me. In Stereo the tonal balance was good but the image seemed smaller than other headphone I have, in DTS the immersive effect was OK but the sounds got muddy and then in Sphere360 the effect was amazing and the head tracking great but the sound got so harsh I wouldnt use it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by BillyManor from Premium Product, Compact and Loud These JBL gaming headphones bring to life any games that I play, be it on a PC or PS4(compatible with Xbox 1 too). The sound quality is immense and crisp, the headphones provide a comfortable wear with its luxury soft ear pads whilst at the same time noise cancelling and 3D audio. The head tracking on these headphones allows better reaction time and placement in games, when tilting the head to a certain direction the sound on that side becomes clearer as if you were in the game. The headphones offer wired and wireless options, up to 7 including 3.5mm braided cabled (definitely worth the money for durability) and USB C cable. The eye catching design, luxury feel and crisp sound makes this headphone feel like a must buy for any gamer

Rated 5 out of 5 by Glayshur from Quantum One I have used this headset for gaming on pc for about a week now. I love it! I have been gaming for over 10 years now and this is the first headset that I have found that is most certainly worth the money I have spent for it. Highly recommended! The RBG lighting on the ears are very very customizable, I think I have spent at least an hour looking at everything I could do and I could probably do more. The noise cancellation on the headphones are INSANE! I’ve never had anything compared to this! I heard about this product from 100 Thieves and instantly wanted to order for myself because I know 100 Thieves is a wonderful organization. The only con I have for this is the length of the USB cord is longer than necessary.

Rated 1 out of 5 by CactiJack from Worst way to spend your money my 25$ wireless earbuds are about 8x better than these pieces of sheet. the hardware: had them exclusively plugged into my computer sitting on a stand or on my head, and not even 2 years later the right ear just up and stopped playing overnight. the chat/game dual audio output's kinda nice though, alas not very useful or well thought-out. the buggy, garbage, software: worst experience possible. the 3D sound is utterly useless, you will NEVER use it. even if there was a gaming advantage, it makes your audio lag! everything's is behind by about 1/3rd a second! the pseudo-7.1 surround sound doesn't make a single difference. the only way to turn on Talk-Through is to open up the app and select it?!!?!? and the noise cancellation is worthless, i cannot hear any difference outside of a small humming when its on. in the end i ripped these in half (which was far too easy to do, surprised it didn't happen when they fall of my desk) when i realized that the right ear was entirely busted. At least the sound quality was mid.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Josh502 from Great Comfort, Sound, and features! After using this product for several days I can start off by saying that this is a solid gaming headset! It’s ease of use on console is hassle free and gives you the extra edge on the gaming front. Sound : JBL doesn’t disappoint again with 50mm high end performance drivers. You will have every decibel of sound you ever wish for. The low ends are ever present and you can hear ever high end. JBL does a great job of calibrating all sounds together to give you an all immersive experience. On Xbox One (S) I am able to send all gaming sound to my headphones and can plant myself in a gaming environment like never before. When connected to an iPhone XS Max music is crisp and dynamic. You will need a 3.5mm to lightning dongle however to connect. I feel this does not lessen the sound in the littlest of amounts. Watching movies such as Avengers : Endgame allows you to hear even the crowd background voices that are hidden on a typical tv or movie screen. Comfort : The Quantum One headset is a tad on the large side and squeezes your head slightly however, after a few days of use I’ve gotten used to the constant pressure. I believe JBL did this to help with sound containment. The headset is lined on the inside of the headband and ear cups with premium faux leather. This really gives this head set a premium feel and helps to cushion the pressure. The outer side of the headband and ear cups are made with a premium fingerprint proof plastic. JBL spared no change when designing this headset. Features : JBL Quantum One Headset features several high end sound options. However, I will preface this with all of them only work on PC. If you would like ANC (Active Noise Canceling), the LED light show on the side of the ear cups, the Sphere-360 sound, or head tracking...you will have to have a gaming PC to gain access to these features. With that being said, as a console player, these headphone are still extremely high end! I think in order for JBL to make that next leap into the gaming market they need to make these features available to console players. Pros : The sound is incredible as usual, premium feel and durability, accessible to several platforms. Cons : All premium features only available on PC, a little tight on the head, a tad on the large side. Final Thoughts : If you’re a PC gamer this headset is a no brainer. The $300 price tag is hefty but worth it in the end with all the available features. As a console gamer these are great headphones but I would like more features to go with console playing.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Ulyster from Disappointed! Overall very comfortable, slightly heavy. cups ears and blocks noise very well. so for PC gaming this is very high quality and sounds great to me. But unfortunately not so much on XBOX ONE. FIRST OF ALL THEY DONT TELL YOU ALL THE FUNCTIONS WORK LIKE QUANTUM ENGINE RGB LIGHTING OR ANYTHING UNLESS YOU ARE PC ONLY..! VERY FRUSTATING..!.... it sounds good on console but just does not get loud enough!! I tried on 3.5mm to controller and also thru the wireless dongle. honestly it even sounded louder through 3.5mm on controller which is usually not the case. I have been trying to find a good high end headset for a while now, sorry to say that unless used for PC gaming only, I wouldnt spend the money!...RETURNING MINES FOR A FULL REFUN TODAY NOT SATISFIED AT ALL.

Rated 2 out of 5 by 0_0reilly from When it works, its great. This headset sounds great and I love the software that comes with it. This has been my opinion of this headset for a long time until recently. Every 2 weeks, this headset refuses to have sound. It simply does not register as headphones on my computer and will not change from speaker to headphone when I try. The only way I can remedy this is to completely uninstall the software then reinstall. When this is happening often, it gets annoying very, very, very fast. This will be my last high end headset from JBL, for the price that this headset costs, especially when I bought it several years ago, I expect more from my products and a functioning firmware system. This does not cut it anymore

Rated 5 out of 5 by Studio8two7 from Awesome scape through sound quality! It took me three months to find the hybrid product I was looking for. Nothing better than comfort for hours while enjoying rich quality sound. Harman Kardon has defined sound once again. Thanks for such a great and innovative product.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Twist3d from Great headset, clear punchy sound. I really started to use these in anger and initially I thought they sounded a little over powered on the bass with muted highs, but as soon as I installed the Quantum engine software the headset really started to sing and I was shock how good it could sound! I was initially prompted to update the firmware on the headset but this was a painless process that took no more than 2 mins. Calibration was simple using the included calibration earpiece. The 3d surround effect is so good its almost too immersive, and I find in games this is a real help when trying to locate sounds within the environment. The box and presentation is great, the materials are very premium and I especially like how comfortable the memory foam ear cushions are. If I was to make any negative point it would be that the inline mic/chat bias control is more suited for setups that have the cable coming up over the rear of the desk, but this is trivial considering how good the headset performs.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Wallacabayka from Mostly fantastic! Pros: Sound quality and comfort are excellent. The 360° sound signature is REALLY cool. The JBL Quantum app is easy to use and comes with an equalizer, which is nice. Calibration of headset is also pretty easy and worth it. Noise-canceling is great. Cons: It would be ideal for this headset to be wireless, obviously. The microphone is decent/average. I wish that the headset was operable without the app- I don't always have access to a laptop/PC. If there was an Android version of the JBL Quantum app, problem would be solved. Although the sound quality is excellent, it could use more bass.

Rated 5 out of 5 by yigit123 from Cool features It has almost everything you would expect from a top level headset. Has good soundproofing and it is very comfortable. It doesn't hurt your head or ears. The material looks and feels very durable. Durability is one of the most important things I look for in a headset. Because I've had bad experiences with other brands in the past. Back buttons are a bit hard to get used to. I sometimes increase the volume while taking of the headset. I like the volume wheel. I'd have prefered some of the buttons on the wheel though. But it isn't a deal-breaker. Overall it is a very good headset. Spatial sound is a nice touch. If you like playing simulation games with multiple monitors you would love this feature. But if you are listening to music, I'd recomment turning it off.

Rated 4 out of 5 by rjones36 from Comfortable, clear sound and some other thoughts.. Ok so I have had this headset a couple of days and want to leave some feedback. Comfort: I will start off with comfort. It has some plushy earcups, that I believe are a memory foam, the headband also includes this material. The clamping force is slight, but I don't find it to be terrible. My ears do not touch the driver which is good. They have room which gives it some sound stage when listening in stereo mode. Sound: Ok so there are 3 modes in which to listen to this headset. There is QuantumSHPERE 360, DTS X2.0 and then just off, which is sterero mode. The QuantumSPHERE 360 is pretty impresive when it comes to giving that large room like feel. I would say this is similar to what Creative is doing with it's XFI products. The sound can maybe be a little too thin and spacey at times depending on the game you are playing. But the accuracy of the sound is pretty spot on. This also includes head tracking which is cool, but I don't play on a large widescreen monitor so not sure how much benefit this really is. DTS X2.0 is good. It is a step down compared to the QuantumSHPERE 360. This sound at times to me anyways can sound like you are underwater and can make the sound a bit muddy Stereo sound. Ok the sound is clear and crisp and what is strange is it can sound intimate and yet also have a bit of sound stage at times? The bass is solid but not super bassy, but it is there. This highs are kinda in your face intimate, which for a gaming headset is good for FPS shooters. This can be represented when listening to music with any vocals. Imaging is solid and should be for a gaming headset. Mic: So the microphone sounds just ok IMO. It can sound a bit thin but it does the job. Noise cancelling: So this is a pretty nice feature, it works but don't expect to work like one of the high-end Sony BT headphones. (Although in my headset I can hear a bit of a whining sound when it is turned on.) Cons: The wire, it is stiff and will have kinks. It includes a game/chat control which is nice but it is so light that you will end up dragging it off your desk. Calibration software does not work at the time of this review. Guessing that will get fixed in the near future with an update. Last thing, I did have some trouble updating the firmware for this device. I removed two software apps and not sure which one was the issue. They were THX Synapse and RTX Voice. This might be some useful information for anyone else who might run into this issue.

Rated 5 out of 5 by HumbleTribe from BEST GAMING HEADSET EVER!!!! I received my quantum 1 headset a couple days ago, I’m telling you I have never experienced something this crazy! I was a little curious at first about the 360 sound and how trippy it would be to hear bullets and sounds like if i was really in the game. But honestly I can’t get enough, I’m playing more than I have ever played before. The comfort of the cushions are so soft and fit so nicely over my ears. The button layout was super easy to remember and easy to change setting on the fly! The colors are customizable to your liking or choosing and sound quality. The sound with the bass and when you turn your head you can hear every little thing. I love this headset and I won’t ever go back to my old headset!

Rated 3 out of 5 by RoxyB from Over all the head phones are comparatively light weight. The memory foam is soft and light on my ears. Yes I will say it my head size is a little larger than average and they fit comfortably. They did not hurt the top of my head like most headphones do. I do like that these are wired because yes this headset gives better reception than some of the wireless pairs I have tried. Which with some wireless pairs the sound can shut off or be muddled or lagging. I did not experience any sound problems. I also loved having a dial on the USB cord to adjust volume. The controls are nice to have on the left side of the headset. It makes switching from play to chat easy as well as sound adjustment. I just didn’t get a feel for this headset, it was nice on your head but I have found better sound quality headphones.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Lmathew from Flashy Great sound however I use them for The OneX and the 3.5 audio cable didn’t work out the box. I had power to headset but no sound. I had to use my Astro mic cord with the Mix Amp which made for a better product because I can fine tune my audio settings. JBL may want to get to work on a system like this for their product. Secondly being wired is difficult with the game / chat dial. It’s heavy and since I sit farther back away from the screen the dial is constantly pulling the cord down to the floor and makes gaming very uncomfortable for lengthy periods of time. I would highly consider adjusting the position of the dial or make a longer cord for console gamers who dont game on monitors. Sometimes I also get a strange sound feedback with high volumes, Other then that the sound is phenomenal and immersive 90% of time.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Davidyabish from Xbox quality sucks It states it works for xbox, they just dont tell you that none of its features work for it. You can only plug on xbox through 3.5mm jack. All the features are only for PC. Not worth spending 300 if your buying for console.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Mostnick from Comfortable, Good Sound Overall I am so far very happy with my Quantum One's. They have a great sound quality and feel great on my head. The different settings are awesome to have accessibility to. My only complaint is directional sounds such as gunshots, foot steps, and vehicles. Sometimes they just sound loud and 'in your face,' and hard to tell what direction they are, or how far. Can't wait to have access to ear calibration to see if that helps.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Gesrey from JBL one the one to have From the moment you open the box, you can’t wait to try them. JBL Quantum ONE sit comfortably on your head with no sound leakage evident to disturb others. The sound quality is clear and detailed, and more revealing than many others, footsteps I had not heard before using other headphones, were evident with the JBL’s giving me warning of people approaching. With the detachable microphone, team members could clearly hear me, and the whole gaming experience seemed to be more involving. The noise cancelling can be turned on or off, which is uncommon in other headphones, and works very well. The gaming experience for me, moved up a level. I’m convinced I play better with these headphones, simply because I’m more aware of what’s moving around me.

Rated 5 out of 5 by donfoolio from The Quantum ONE is a BEAST JBL Left nothing out of this beastly headset. I am incredibly impressed at the fidelity of sound production. As an audio engineer, my first instinct was to plug these into my phone where i've been producing beats lately. AMAZING results with super immersive sound and great noise cancelling. I then flipped to gaming mode. PUBG, Fornite and some classic Worms for me. The dynamic directional audio was an absolute game changer listening to footsteps in PUBG. It definitely made for some extra intense and scary battles, but I felt a new competitive edge with these on. That audio mixing dial to turn down the loud voice chat during crucial moments is the most clutch. Lastly the fun factor on these headphones is out of control. With the LED lights on it looks amazing on camera and is the perfect way to match my mood weather i'm feeling creative, chill or ready to battle online! Amazing!

Rated 4 out of 5 by N8DAWG0525 from Awesome headset, not without drawbacks Been using my headset for about a week now and overall I absolutely love it. Sound quality is awesome, the bass is killer and the RGB is super cool. My only gripe, well only two grips are pretty small. First off if you have the ANC (active noise cancellation) on and ANYTHING with any sort of bass will cause a real bad static/crackle sound to come through the headphones. Second, the 360 audio thing is kinda cool I guess but I’m my opinion it just makes the Audio sound cheap. Otherwise it’s great for gaming and the mic quality is superb.

Rated 4 out of 5 by brian163 from Review for those intending to use only with PS4 I used this headset for a month before sharing my opinion. Overall I think the ONE is a very good headset and definitely worthy of its pro level designation. However, the next generation could be excellent with a few tweaks. First, I'm noting my review is based -entirely- on using the ONE with the Playstation 4. That means some of the features such as head tracking, LED customization, etc. were not available to me. (Note: This is not a JBL created issue but rather the limitation of individual platforms. The full experience comes on the PC platform as related to the custom software that is installed.) Where JBL fails in my opinion is making this entirely clear in their marketing material and user guides, which are also inaccurate as I will note below. So without all the "bells and whistles"", are these good PS4 headphones? Just minutes after trying these for the first time, I thought I had made a big mistake in model choice. Following the provided Quick Start guide, I plugged the headset into the PS4 controller via the audio cable. This was not a gratifying experience. The volume was too low, there was no ANC (active noise cancellation) and of course, the earcups didn't even light up. So if I had just followed the Quick Start Guide, with it's annoyingly microscopic text and few words accompanying the drawings, I probably would have return them. However, luckily my initial disappointment persuaded me to peruse the JBL web site, where right in the middle of the QUANTUM headset models page I found their "Connectivity Overview". (This would have been really helpful for JBL to have included in a more robust and full user's guide that is woefully missing.) This overview indicated the headset could be plugged into the USB port on the PS4. Intrigued, I did so and the headset practically sprung to life. The earcup light show began with a pattern of dancing lights (to which they are unfortunately stuck to the default for all time), the ANC (active noise cancellation) kicked in (which contrary to the "Connectivity Overview" -does- work with the ONE on PS4 when connected via USB), and most importantly, the volume output improved considerably. As a bonus the inline Game Audio-Chat Balance Dial in the USB cable works, although on PS4 only as a secondary volume control. You still have to set the primary volume using the headset thumb wheel but then the inline dial can be used for finer adjustment. I find this far more convenient than fumbling around for the headset wheel while gaming, particularly when someone walks into the room to talk to me. However, the headset wheel is clearly electronic (not analog or "manual") and the headset's volume is reset to the default every time you unplug them. Once I was on USB, I was able to thoroughly enjoy the headset. The sound is crisp and the range dynamic. Mind you, I feel once you get to a certain quality level of headphone it can be very difficult to tell them apart. All I can really say is that compared to the another quality headset I've been using from another brand, I didn't feel like I was missing (or honestly gaining) anything sound wise. However, the noise cancellation is excellent. A room air conditioner, bubbling aquarium, and passing conversation in the room all fade to nothing with ANC enabled. You can tap a button at the top of the left earcup to enable audio "talkthru" or as I mentioned before, simply turn the Game-Chat Balance Dial down for brief conversations with others. The microphone has good pick-up and everyone I asked could hear me clearly. It has a slide on foam windshield that I found too easy to knock off but I didn't find the need for it and simply put it back in the box. Overall, I feel the build is very good. The head band and ear cups both have thick and comfortable padding. I find the earcup swivel holds very securely in position when you adjust it. I don't know if this is because they are so new but I'm hoping they don't lose this stiffness as I find it helpful in making them sit comfortably on my head. As some others have noted (or complained), this headset is certainly not light. However, comfort is a relative term and I've had no problem wearing them several hours at a time per day. On the other hand, my young adult daughter tried them for a short gaming session and found them too heavy for her liking. I want to believe the weight is potentially related to the size and quality of the drivers but I don't have the material specs to back that theory up. I suspect there may be ways to further reduce the weight of this headset but I'm not sure if that would come at a cost to build quality or price. I would say I'm very satisfied with these so far. If they hold up well they are certainly worthy of their premium designation in the QUANTUM headset line. However, for PS4 only users that can't use the additional functions as their PC brethren, I'm not sure the associated premium cost is fully justified. Therefore, I'm giving them 4 out of 5 stars. To summarize: Pros -Appear to be well built overall -Sound very good, microphone is clear and works well. Active noise cancellation is excellent -Removable microphone can be convenient if you travel with them often -(PS4) USB Audio-Chat Balance Dial isn't supported but dial still functions as a convenient secondary volume adjuster if you like in-line dials on the cord -(PS4) Solid connectivity when plugged into USB Neutrals -I found them comfortable despite being a bit weighty -Electronic volume control level is reset when USB is disconnected. Doesn't bother me much but some will likely dislike this -Some will love, some will hate the JBL "startup" sound when you plug them in via USB. The ANC Talk-through activation also plays a fairly loud tone -(PS4) No way to change earcup LED pattern. Not really a problem for wearer but may be distracting for other people in a multi-purpose/use room. (You can turn LEDs off by holding microphone mute button for 5 seconds) Cons -Could really use a more complete, readable (print size), and accurate(!) user guide for -all- platforms -Certain features are platform specific (mostly PC). (Again not JBL's "fault" but you may be paying a premium for functionality like head tracking that you can't use) -(PS4) If you don't want to be tethered to a USB port (worked fine with a USB extension cord for me) then you may be disappointed with the volume output of the PS4 controller direct audio connection -For a headset at this price level, I feel they should have included at least a basic ("pleather") carrying case.

Rated 2 out of 5 by guyperson from terrible design the headphones work as headphones, except they had an annoying ringing noise for the first month. I called support and they were fixed without doing anything (as in I called support and then the ringing stopped). but the annoying thing is the volume mixer, just from moving, it has caused a break in one my computer's USB ports (the thing in the center snapped off, and as of the day I'm posting, the 2 other USB ports now don't work with the headphones. This is a problem I have never had with any other pair of headphones.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kapil from The Ultimate Gaming Headphones! The JBL Quantum Ones are a great choice of headphones. The sound quality is amazing and it's great for gaming, there is also a volume wheel to change the volume quickly. They are very comfortable as they have really soft cushions around the head area and the ear area. There's even braided cables. The mic is really good and removes a lot of background noise. You can also adjust it freely and take it off if you want to. There's also a really cool software that comes with the headphones called 'JBL QuantumENGINE'. You can adjust the lighting of the headphones along with multiple features. You can change the tempo between each color, and you can change the color on each specific area. And there's a spatial sound option, where you can enable QuantumSPHERE360, DTS, or turn it off. And you can also adjust mic level, mic volume, and sidetone in the software. There's also an equalizer tab which is really cool. I personally like and suggest these headphones.

Rated 4 out of 5 by BOBBO1217 from Awesome response. I purchased the headset for gaming and I'm impressed with the responsiveness and range. I didn't expect them to be so comfortable. I'm told the mic sounds great on the other end as well. Excellent quality.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Dudote from No Added Features If Console User Bought this headset for my wife due to the excellent reviews and added features. She is an audio engineer, making her an audio snob, and she plays on both the Xbox One and PS4. I picked the JBL Quantum ONE for it's excellent audio ratings and "system compatibility". After using these headphones on both Xbox One and the PS4 and speaking to a customer service representative, I would not recommend these headphones to anyone other than PC gamers. Essentially you're buying really pretty headphones. Most additional features are not available to console users, and the headphones must be plugged directly into the console to provide enough power for the RGB lights to work. Noise cancellation is great, but you can get that functionality elsewhere for less money and more features. Lastly, the software is only Windows compatible, despite advertisements claiming Mac compatibility. We have both Macs and PCs so fortunately, we were able to install, but we would have been screwed otherwise. 100% misleading marketing. Overall, highly recommend for PC gamers. For all else, keep shopping.

Product Q&A

Headset will be used just for the Xbox one console. I currently have the A40's with mix amp. Can I "plug and play" these head phones into the A40 mix amp?

Asked by: gavan21

Technically, you can since the mix amp has a 3.5mm port. However, we can't guarantee what the resulting audio quality will be.

Is there any point in getting the quantum ones if you play on console, due to the lack of customization which you can fully get on PC e.g. customizing the rgb light affect?

Asked by: iXyte

Thank you for your question. The JBL Quantum ONE provides a better passive noise cancelling, but if that's not a concern, any of the models will work with 3.5mm aux with consoles, and for PS4/PS5, the Q600 and Q800 also work wirelessly. Should you wish to receive further support, you may contact the Harman Customer Support team by telephone, email or chat in order to receive direct assistance.
