JBL’s updated Quantum gaming headsets keep the punch, even when you spend less
JBL’s new $50 Quantum 120 shares its 50mm carbon drivers, Spatial Sound, Hi-Res support, and detachable boom mic with the $130 wireless Quantum 520X.
JBL has introduced updated Quantum gaming headsets that maintain high audio performance even at a lower price point. The entry-level JBL Quantum 120, priced at $49.95, replaces weaker drivers with 50mm carbon dynamic drivers, similar to those found in the more expensive Quantum 520X, which costs $129.95. Key features of the Quantum 120 include JBL Spatial Sound, Hi-Res Audio support, QuantumENGINE customization, and a detachable noise-canceling microphone.
The headset offers a traditional 3.5mm connection, eliminating the need for a battery or wireless dongle, and is compatible with various devices such as Windows, macOS, mobile devices, and gaming consoles. The Quantum 120 is currently available for preorder at $49.95, while the Quantum 520X is set to launch on October 18 at $129.95.
Both models share the same 50mm carbon drivers and detachable microphone. JBL's commitment to gaming audio is evident, as demonstrated by the recent release of the Marshall Jimi Hendrix 60th Anniversary Collection, which includes the Major V headphones and other audio products. ASUS has also entered the gaming audio market with the ROG Gjallar soundbar, priced at $599.99, designed to deliver premium sound in a high-end package.
