JBL Quantum 810 Wireless – Wireless over-ear performance gaming headset with Active Noise Cancelling and Bluetooth, 43 hours of battery life, Hi-Res 50mm drivers (Black)

IMO better than Corsair RGB XT
I used a Corsair RGB wireless XT gaming headset with the “broadcaster quality mic” for more than a year. I finally pitched them due to the problems I had with the quality of the sound, and even replaced the mic due to the mute button (on the mic piece) wearing out after a number of uses. It was just a high maintenance device with very short range issues as well as the iCUE app constantly crashing and losing my settings. The Corsair also had music listening issues where a deep drum or bass note would cause the master volume to compensate and was quite unnatural. I assume the volume would pulsate due to some kind of overload protection algorithm that I was unable to simply disable. It was quite annoying.Knew about the JBL reputation with stereo systems, and high quality HiFi systems in the passed, and decided to give them a try. They were also cheaper than the Corsair XT I had. Installed the driver program, turned on the “DTS” mode with the JBL Quantum surround mode and the sound BLEW ME AWAY! I NEVER had this kind of sound quality with the Corsair when listening to music. The bass is plentiful, and the equalizer works great all around. That’s a positive.A negative I have is related to things like the “surround sound” mode. I don’t get a true sound that makes me think there are things behind me, or directional like you get in a movie theater. Could be I really don’t have a proper source to prove it out, but the windows positioning test isn’t surrounding me like expected.When I’m gaming, I sometimes have a wide variety of sound sources that I mix into my headset. I have three separate PC’s that sound outputs/inputs are “daisy chained” to allow me to monitor all the pc’s outputs within my single headset. It allows me to do things like watch TV, game, monitor chat apps, listen to the radio, and a few other esoteric functions related to other hobbies all at the same time. So, I’m generally dealing with up to 5 separate PC monitors, and all the audio feeds from what ever I may have going on. The JBL seems to deal with them just fine without losing music quality, the gaming output, and others, simultaneously. Definitely a positive.I use the 2GHz dongle on a USB port, and even though we have a house full of wifi and wireless devices, the range is CONSIDERABLY farther than the corsair RGB XT. The corsair also would “cut out” when someone would use the microwave in the kitchen (which is attached to the room I’m in). Interestingly, the JBL headset does NOT cut out with microwave use, which again, is another positive here.I’ve seen folks complain that they don’t get enough volume out of this headset, but that is not my experience. I’m retired with “older ears”, and the volume is more than I would ever safely use. So, definitely a positive. The “noise canceling” is pretty good. Its not “get on an airplane and not hear white noise” good, but for gaming and listening to music, its quite good. The headset does claim to have ANC (Active Noise Canceling).Anyway, for the price, its better, IMO, than the high end corsair headset, yet less expensive. In my opinion JBL has a very high quality product that is very forgiving of an RF crowded environment, and a longer battery life. Just turn off the pretty flashy RGB lighting on the headset, and you’ll get a ton of battery time. Specs claim you get 43 hours of battery time between charges. That’s considerably better than the high end corsair.

Well worth the price
I have had this headset for 2 years now and have no issues with them. When I first got them, there were intermittent connection issues with the dongle, then JBL released firmware updates and ever since then, I had no issues. The audio is nice and clear, the same when I use the 3.5mm jack with a good headphone amp. I can walk 1/2 my house without issue. Bluetooth has been rock solid. I love that I can play and talk at the same time, something I can’t do my other over priced headsets. The noise cancelling is good for what it is, it keeps me focused and immersed in the game without loss of audio quality. Spatial cues are accurate and clear. The LED’s are neat, but I mostly leave them off, you can’t see them when wearing the headset anyways. Battery life is awesome. I can game for 8hrs and have more than 60% battery remaining, even after 2yrs. of use.Durability has not been a problem as I take really good care of all my headsets, but the quality is there. I also have a hard case that I store them in when not in use or travelling.The microphone is clear and natural enough for me, and has worked without issues.The only thing I would say that could be improved on is the volume. Even at max, I find myself doubting that I have everything setup properly.Overall, I say that with this headset, it is money well spent. I tried to replicate many of the issues that many others have stated: using them on other computers, such as friends and family’s, in there homes just to ensure the dynamics, and they continue to work flawless. So much so that my peeps eventually purchased the headset. I also purchased the 910x model with the same satisfaction.Keep in mind, there is no perfect headset, just find what works for you, and this headset works really well for me.

Pretty comfortable, it’s got good sound quality and good adjustments on it. Easy to use, decent for the price!

Una excelente compra. Verdaderamente me impresionaron. Si te gusta jugar videojuegos en consolas o en PC estos son por mucho los mejores audífonos que yo he probado. Vengo de probar los Razer Ultimate y los Razer Kraken, así como los Sony inzone 9, y estos son mucho mejores que todos. La calidad del sonido es sorprendente, la comodidad también es destacable. La cancelación de ruido es buena. Todo es bueno en estos audífonos. De cualquier caso, quizás, la única queja sería que cuando uno tiene encendidos los audífonos con las luces RGB, con bluetooth, cancelación de ruido y audio espacial, es decir, con todas las funciones, la batería le dura unas 12 horas, lo cual de todos modos es muy destacable. Los recomiendo ampliamente
