At the last Gamescom, which closed its doors 72 hours ago, JBL presented the JBL Quantum 650, one of the latest models in the Quantum gaming headset range, equipped with 50 millimeter carbon transducers.
JBL Quantum 650, main specifications££££
The headset, still usable via a 3.5 mm wired connection for those who don't care about wireless, is also capable of being connected to an audio source via [abc]Wi-Fi[/abc] 2.4 GHz or [abc]Bluetooth[/abc] 5.3. There is the 6 mm Boom Mic for perfect communication in the middle of a game, or for phone calls and other meetings. While this specimen still doesn't offer active noise reduction, it does have a battery life of around 45 hours, enough to enjoy very long video game sessions.
Of course, the JBL Spatial Sound function to widen the soundstage is present, as is the Zoom application. Finally, its sound features are optimized by the JBL QuantumEngine processing, with audio customization functions focused on the player. Finally, note that the microphone, the headband, the cable and the ear cushions of the JBL Quantum 650 are replaceable.
