Up until recently, I thought that I tried every kind of headset that I could get my hands on. There are the ones that offer RGB, the ones that offer crazy spacial audio, an app that allows me to tailor sound to my specifications, and those that give the comfort that I search for. But what if all of the special features come together in a single headset that you wouldn’t want to put down? Well, JBL has nailed it with its Quantum 910 wireless gaming headset. This is the coolest headset I’ve ever used, and it would take something next level to beat this.

I’ve got to say, I wasn’t expecting my experience with the Quantum 910 to be as complex as it was. I expected it to have proprietary software, as most headsets have these days to boost the audio of it, but the QuantumENGINE came in swinging. It’s an extremely easy-to-use and intuitive software. As someone who’s spent some time with UI/UX, I am pleased with how simple yet user-friendly the software is to wrap your head around as a newbie.
And because the software is so easy to use, getting your Quantum 910 ready to go for your first gaming session is as easy as you could ever want it. This is the best user experience I’ve ever had with the software I need to run my headset. Whenever I plug my headset’s dongle in, the software is ready to go and prompts me.
As far as the actual audio goes for the headset, I think it’s superb. It’s bass-heavy, which is exactly what I enjoy. However, messing with settings can change that drastically if you’re not a rattle-enjoying gamer. Everything sounds crisp, from the footsteps of a nearby enemy to the vocals of your favorite lead singer. While I’ve had some recent headsets that made me gush, this one overall just ticks every box. Even boxes I didn’t know I had. If you want true ANC, this actually has it!
Aside from the cool technicalities of the software and fancy buttons across the headset to make gameplay easy, the headset makes simultaneous Bluetooth to my other devices even easier than ever before, thanks to the power switch that operates extremely easily, shedding light on a gripe that I just became comfortably ignorant to. Plus, the added RGB is just such a nice touch. Sure, RGB on a headset isn’t anything new, but on an expensive headset like this, it’s nice to have another whistle to go along with the bells.
Feedback
I would have liked to see other colorways. Though black and white models are the tried and true these days, I have always loved JBL’s use of funky colors. Hopefully, going forward we’ll see even more creativity flourish with these headsets.
Conclusion
In summation, buy this headset if you truly want an upgrade to your gaming experience. This is a beautiful masterpiece of a well-rounded headset that can do everything perfectly and for a pretty decent price. Though $300 might sound like a lot to some for a headset, this is a very durable and gorgeous-sounding piece of tech that is going to remind you time and again when you’re playing games, watching movies, or listening to music. It’s just that good.
