Knowledge Base

How can I work with RGB lighting properly with JBL QuantumENGINE?

Any changes you make on the Lighting page will be reflected immediately on your headset.

Beyond gaming, how can I use JBL QuantumSURROUND?

JBL QuantumSURROUND technology can be used with any type of multi-channel audio content. For example: Netflix® content, Blu-ray™, and music mixed in 5.1 or 7.1 surround.

What’s the difference between JBL QuantumSURROUND and JBL QuantumSPHERE 360?

JBL QuantumSPHERE 360 is JBL QuantumSURROUND that’s kicked up a notch by using a head-tracking sensor to fix sounds in 360 degrees of space around you. With typical headphones, when you move your head, the soundscape follows your movement. But with JBL QuantumSPHERE 360, if you rotate your head, the sound source’s perceived location stays in place because the head-tracking sensor compensates for your head movement. For example, if there’s a sound coming from in front of you, and you turn your head to the left, the sound source’s perceived location moves to your right ear—the sound stays locked in space as you move your head.

Also, the human brain uses small head movements to distinguish if sound sources are behind or in front of us. The brain processes the differences between when a sound arrives at the left vs. the right ear to determine where the sound is located. So with JBL QuantumSPHERE 360, you can move your head naturally to pinpoint the exact source of sounds around you.

JBL QuantumSPHERE 360 is only available with the JBL QuantumONE gaming headset.

What should I expect after turning on JBL QuantumSURROUND?

The first thing you’ll notice is that sound no longer feels like it’s “inside your head.” Suddenly it seems like the game audio is coming from high-quality loudspeakers—or the virtual game world—all around you.

It’s a different experience than you get with other headphones, and may take a little while to adjust to. For example, sounds coming from sources in the distance will seem farther away, as they would in real life. Even though you might be used to those sounds feeling closer with other headphones, JBL QuantumSURROUND provides hyper-accurate spatialization that can give you a competitive edge.

So spend some time dialing in the EQ to your liking, and see how real-world hearing helps you pinpoint enemies and bring the game to life.
