Rated 1 out of 5 by from Returned Setup was a process. I could have gotten passed that and been all right. The issue is that every-time you reboot the PC or they shut off to conserve battery you have to repair them, You have to hold the button on the dongle and head set every-time. I have other brands that once paired you just turned on the headset was good to go,I like the JBL sound. In music they are very good with solid bass; In games it was good in wide open spaces. Any conversation had way to much reverb. Much of this may have been able to be corrected, in the settings. However having; to set up, the headset every-time you use them, killed it for me.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Very Misleading! I will be send these headphones back! It is advertised to be compatible with ps4, pc, Xbox, and switch, however, it is only wirelessly compatible with pc and ps4! There are no details on the page that specify that! Also, if you do use the cord to hook up to your Xbox controller, you are not able to use the tuning on the headphones themselves. Only the master volume on the cord. Get it together JBL! Very inconvenient that I have to return these! I would have much rather been informed properly and bummed that they were not fully compatible with Xbox rather than having to spend the money and then go through the hassle of sending them back! 0 stars for this product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best ever ever I've had them for a month now and must say I have never been more impressed in my life. First of all,they look pretty amazing,all lit up. Connecting them with pc cannot be more straightforward through the USB transmiter. Once you have them on,you are truly detached from the outside world,surround is magnificent, you can even say with precision where shooter is located.Their very snuggle fit makes not wanting to take them down during breaks.All buttons are at hand and lots of customisable features.Microphone is good and others can hear you very well and noise cancelling is well above any other i previously owned. They're well built and will last ages,not thinking of upgrading for a good while.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Great Sound, but Has Major Design Flaws I was very excited to receive this product. The packaging was great, and the installing the software was very easy. The headphones are very comfortable, sound great, and the noise cancelling works pretty well. The biggest design flaw comes with charging the headset. You cannot charge the headset and use the headset at the same time. As soon as the headset is plugged in, you cannot turn it on. Also, the noise cancelling is great when fully working, but every once in a while it will bug out and create a very unpleasant noise in your ear. The noise itself was kind of indescribable. Whatever the noise was, it made you feel like you had pressure from being underwater.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Solid set of gaming headphones Super impressed with these headphones. Sturdy enough for the kids to use without the risk of damage & also easily re sized. Sound quality is greatest these have been used for gaming & listening to music. You absolutely cannot hear a thing when someone is using them, great when the kids are gaming in the living room. Easily set up to the PS4. Overall very impressed - my only gripe would be the sound didn’t go high enough for me whilst listening to music, great for the kids as it stops them blasting their ears off but for me personally I like to listen a little louder.

Product Q&A

Do they support dual wireless playback from different sources? I mean two audio streamings simultaneosly for instance PC connected to 2.4 wifi dongle and Phone via Bluetooth at the same time. Thank you

Asked by: JaBoX
YES! Very odd that JBL officially says no. I am sitting right now with these headphones and I am listening to audio through my pc in the headset, and I answered (and made) a call via bluetooth, I could hear the call AND the pc audio simultaneously. Both audio sources were coming throught the headset at the same time. I have seen several people say yes and several people say no....I am saying YES the Quantum 800 headset DOES support simultaneous audio through the headset.

Will there be an update so I can charge and use these headphones at the same time? It's frustrating having these as my only headphone set and having to wait two hours to use them once they've died.

Asked by: embem
I am having the same issue. Can&rsquo;t even update my headset because it turns off when usb-c is connected. $200 should work better than this. No reason to need two cords hooked up to a wireless headset when you need to charge it and use it at the same time. Even two cords doesn&rsquo;t work with mine though.&nbsp;

Which of the Quantums would be the best choice for listening to music? Are the Quantums good for listening to music as well or would you recommend a different set of headphones?

Asked by: Ak16
Our JBL Quantum 800 has a great sound intended designed for gaming. You may wait for our upcoming Club Series headphones which are specifically designed for music listening.

Asked by: Travis112795
Our JBL Quantum 800 headset is created for gaming and is compatible with PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, Mobile, Mac, and VR. You may use the 3.5mm jack with all compatible devices. The 2.4GHz wireless connection (USB Dongle) can only be used with PC, PlayStation, Mac, and VR only as Xbox doesn't support these USB dongles.

Everytime I turn on the headset it says I need to update the headset firmware. However, when I run through the steps it requires I plug the headset in through USB. If USB is connected the headset shuts off and won't turn on while connected. What do I do?

Asked by: PooEater
We discovered an issue with our update server that has been resolved. You should now be able to complete the update. If you are still experiencing issues with updating the headphones, please reach out to us at JBL Customer Support so that we can assist you further.
