    i got the 810 (an upgraded version) which is better in terms of battery life (and likely some other things that i dont know of) recently. with an estimated 43 hours of life without rgb, i can use this thing a whole week without charging it. They also made it so you can charge and listen at the same time which is a bonus. I am loving it so far! They fixed a lot of the problems you discussed here such as the mic problems, so maybe a new review may be due :P

      hello, what do you notice about the sound? I've heard people saying it sounds low on volume but based on what I've read is that you can configure the sound as you please. What do you rate the sound out of 10 in terms of loudness, clarity and overall?

    • @dragonslayerps4134
      @dragonslayerps4134 Рік тому

      @@fran_tx7 i cant really say tbh, i’m not much of an audiophile so i wouldnt be able to tell the difference that much, but i think it works pretty well and isnt really quiet at all unless you turn it down to be so. The bass in jbl things are apparently supposed to be great tho. The software lets you change the dB variation of a bunch of different Hz things though individually, (31,62,125,250,500,1k,2k,4k,8k,16k) aswell as a few different presets. It has a talkthrough mode and active noise cancellation, both toggleable through a button on the headset (but i never use them bc i have to listen for things outside my headset). You can choose DTS or the jbl quantumsurround for spatial sound (or turn it off entirely). The jbl one is pretty good from what i can tell, you can change the diameter of your head in the software to make it more accurate.
      Im not exactly saying any of this good or bad tbh cause most of these features i either dont use, or wouldnt be able to tell due to me not being an audiophile, i mostly bought the headset because of the dual channel audio so i could use bluetooth and wireless at same time, alongside the durability of the headset.
      Only bad thing i’ve had so far isnt really audio related, more quality related. The earpad things have been holding up really well in comparison to the other headsets i had, however the covering for the padding at the headband part did peel away in 1 section, though that might have been due to the rough handling more than anything else.
      I havent used any other jbl products aside from the quantum 100, but i would recommend getting one of the normal headphones instead of this. I have been told that using normal headphones and a standalone mic is better for both the audio you get, and the audio you send out. I just like the headset type bc of my setup not having room for a mic stand
      Sorry if this got a bit long 😅 , i didnt wanna leave anything out. If i did leave anything out tho or u wanna ask smth else i’ll be happy to oblige. Btw as you probably heard, the headset is a bit heavy for what you’d think, but not unusable.

    I ended up getting the JBL Quantum One. It is wired only, but after watching this video, I am glad I bought it instead of this. I am curious as to what you would have to say about it.
    I wrote a review and rated it 4/5 stars and here is what I wrote:
    Regarding the JBL Quantum One:
    If you are planning to only use this on PC with the JBL Quantum software, this headset is incredible once you dial in your equalizers to your preferences. This headset has absolutely changed how I listen to music. Listening to the same songs in my car, or through other speakers, it doesn’t sound right. The clean audio from the headset allows me to pinpoint details in songs that I never noticed before. In some songs, you can tell the quality of their music producing tools based on the clarity of the music. The headphones really bring out the details. When lower quality content is played, it sticks out like a sore thumb due to how clear the headset is. That’s the fault of the content being played not the headset. It’s a testament to how good the sound is on this headset. The sound is very clean and clear. I have not played anything that has had any distortion. The clarity EQ is closest to where I believe it should be, but I fine tuned it a little bit more to my own liking. For playing games, you will want to decrease the lower frequencies and increase the upper mid to high frequencies. It is a very good headset once you dial in your EQs, and it can handle about anything you can throw at it.
    The surround sound on this headset is a little strange. The DTS surround sound makes it feel artificially bass-ey. With a little bit of echo. It’s not bad, but not as clean sounding.
    The JBL Quantum 360 surround sound is absolutely horrendous. I cannot tell that audio is coming from different directions accurately, and it adds a lot of echo making for a messy audio experience that makes it hard to focus on anything. It is best to leave off surround sound. For lower end headsets, DTS surround greatly improved them. But this headset is so good in stereo that the surround diminishes the clean crisp sound quality it would otherwise have.
    What I have said so far is regarding the USB connection.
    For AUX, it works. Audio does play through it, but the highs and mids are not very audible while the lows are overly loud to the point that they overpower what is important.
    The lighting is fun to use, if fits the gamer aesthetic very well, and it is highly customizable. However, you are limited to 10 seconds of animation for the headset. I wish it was 12 seconds so that I could have cleaner animated effects as the wave effects last for 3 seconds. Trying this on Xbox, I went back to my old $60 headset which sounds horrible for music, but does well in the mids and mid high frequencies with nearly no low frequencies.
    This headset I would avoid if you plan on using the AUX very often.
    With that said, if you want to use it on PC, it is incredible and I would definitely recommend.
    Another things to make note of is that the microphone is one of the cleanest sounding I have ever seen on a gaming headset! People in gamechat have actually been impressed without me even bringing it up!
    Other things to take note of: it’s heavy, but not overly heavy. It has very deep and soft ear cups, but it has a noticeable clamping force, but it’s not uncomfortable. What may turn some people away from this headset is that the ear cups get warm. But that is the cost of noise isolation. Sweat is very easy to clean off, and you probably will be sweating with this headset. However, that’s a drawback that I see as worth it if noise cancelation is important to you.
    This headset isn’t for everyone, but for those who value noise cancellation, I would highly recommend it if you plan on using it for PC.
    So the takeaway, if you want a noise canceling headset with high quality sound for PC, this is an excellent and worth the price tag! However on console with AUX, a $50 headset could sometimes beat this. But for USB, it is absolutely worth the $300 or even $150 Black Friday as I bought it.

    I got these babies refurbished in August ‘21 from EBay. At the time there was a $15 coupon for refurbished products, bringing my total down from $108 to $93!!! + free shipping. The headset arrived in mint condition and looked completely unused. I just looked - they are still available for $99 refurbished. An absolute NO BRAINER at this price - I feel like I stole something. I love Bluetooth to my phone for discord and usb dongle audio from my PC or PS5. Thanks for further validating my purchase!! Love you, Techne.

    not me watching this while wearing these. also when you turn on active noise cancellation the bass gets better and the software has been updated since this video came out. honestly it charges really quickly so if it dies you can just go have like a 15 minute snack break. it tells you when the battery is low like 30 minutes early too, so if it dies mid game thats on you for having poor time management. i use these for basically every day use lol.

    After i watched a dozen your reviews. I’ve bought this headset 3 months ago. I don't regred. For me Anc is a killer feature. I agree the headset is heavy and sound is not for everybody. Lots of basse and highs, less mids. In game the positioning is great. It might be confusing becouse you hear a lot (i’ve mostly play cs go). I think 150 USD for 2,4 GHz, Bluetooth, ANC, Hi-res 50 mm drivers and very good finishing is a good deal. All the best @ the techne. You doing good job.

    Thanks for the great review video, I have always wanted to get a headset that can do Bluetooth from my phone and Wired/Wireless from my PC at the same time. Was thinking getting Corsair H70 Bluetooth but it has to use wired connection. Artics Pro Wireless can do that but it is too expensive. Now Quantum 800 is the one satisfy the need and not too expensive. Plus it has noise cancellation and ambi sound mode, I think I've found the headset I am looking for.

    Got them a few days ago and I'm not quite sure what to think. For me they sound really great but the sound quality drops significantly when I switch off ANC (might be subjective, dont know), but ANC intriduces some crackling noises when I move my head. Also the mic arm drops down very easily as there seems to be no lock in the up position whatsoever.
    Does anyone else have the same experience with the ANC (or the mic for that matter)? Its my first headset with that feature and I don't really know what to expect.

    • @akkitdude4823

      ANC uses microphones and speakers to reduce background and surrounding noises which is ment to be on when you want quality audio, of course quality drops when ANC is off.
      plus they make the crackling noise because theyre trying to dampen the outside noise but they like catch the headset sounds so you dont have to worry about it. these sounds pretty much fade when you have a video or game running in the background.

      This is old i know and you probably already bought one of these headsets, i have a corsair HS80 and a JBL Quantum 200, JBL headsets feel very cheap, the design is not really appealing, the mic sucks, one of the worst actually of any headset but the sound if you like heavy techno music is amazing, i also have an Epos H6pro with a GSX 300, Razer Kaira Pro, Corsair HS80, Audeze Penroze X, Steelseries Arctis 9x, 3 Sony, Fidelio X2, Beyerdynamic DT770 pro and soon a Blackshark v2 but for gaming and music i use the Quantum 200 paired with a Fiio E10K TC, i paid 100 bucks for these 2 and they are better than the more expensive ones minus the Audeze Penrose X which costs alone 300 bucks and are also very fragile.
      To me the most overrated are without a doubt the EPOS H6pros, the best bang for the buck are the JBL Quantum 200 waiting to see if the Blackshark v2 can beat but i doubt, the Corsair HS80 are very well built with an excellent mic but a bit hot to wear, the Penrose are the best soundwise but the build quality is trash.

    If you're getting this headset and you plan on playing Call of Duty or anything like that do not get it. It seemed like when you put it on the surround sound it meshed all the sounds together it didn't separate tseparate them I couldn't hear people's footsteps like I could on other headsets. When I fired my gun it sounded like my gun was far away instead of directly in front of me. When I switched it over to DTS it sounded much better but still it's not as good as some of the Dolby atmos headsets. I haven't returned the headset yet I'm going to dabble with the EQ and see if I can't get it sounding better better if not it's going back.

    • @BooliumNor
      @BooliumNor 3 роки тому +1

      I ended up getting the JBL Quantum One. It is wired only, but after watching this video, I am glad I bought it instead of this.
      I wrote a review and rated it 4/5 stars and here is what I wrote:
      Regarding the JBL Quantum One:
      If you are planning to only use this on PC with the JBL Quantum software, this headset is incredible once you dial in your equalizers to your preferences. This headset has absolutely changed how I listen to music. Listening to the same songs in my car, or through other speakers, it doesn’t sound right. The clean audio from the headset allows me to pinpoint details in songs that I never noticed before. In some songs, you can tell the quality of their music producing tools based on the clarity of the music. The headphones really bring out the details. When lower quality content is played, it sticks out like a sore thumb due to how clear the headset is. That’s the fault of the content being played not the headset. It’s a testament to how good the sound is on this headset. The sound is very clean and clear. I have not played anything that has had any distortion. The clarity EQ is closest to where I believe it should be, but I fine tuned it a little bit more to my own liking. For playing games, you will want to decrease the lower frequencies and increase the upper mid to high frequencies. It is a very good headset once you dial in your EQs, and it can handle about anything you can throw at it.
      The surround sound on this headset is a little strange. The DTS surround sound makes it feel artificially bass-ey. With a little bit of echo. It’s not bad, but not as clean sounding.
      The JBL Quantum 360 surround sound is absolutely horrendous. I cannot tell that audio is coming from different directions accurately, and it adds a lot of echo making for a messy audio experience that makes it hard to focus on anything. It is best to leave off surround sound. For lower end headsets, DTS surround greatly improved them. But this headset is so good in stereo that the surround diminishes the clean crisp sound quality it would otherwise have.
      What I have said so far is regarding the USB connection.
      For AUX, it works. Audio does play through it, but the highs and mids are not very audible while the lows are overly loud to the point that they overpower what is important.
      The lighting is fun to use, if fits the gamer aesthetic very well, and it is highly customizable. However, you are limited to 10 seconds of animation for the headset. I wish it was 12 seconds so that I could have cleaner animated effects as the wave effects last for 3 seconds. Trying this on Xbox, I went back to my old $60 headset which sounds horrible for music, but does well in the mids and mid high frequencies with nearly no low frequencies.
      This headset I would avoid if you plan on using the AUX very often.
      With that said, if you want to use it on PC, it is incredible and I would definitely recommend.
      Another things to make note of is that the microphone is one of the cleanest sounding I have ever seen on a gaming headset! People in gamechat have actually been impressed without me even bringing it up!
      Other things to take note of: it’s heavy, but not overly heavy. It has very deep and soft ear cups, but it has a noticeable clamping force, but it’s not uncomfortable. What may turn some people away from this headset is that the ear cups get warm. But that is the cost of noise isolation. Sweat is very easy to clean off, and you probably will be sweating with this headset, but that’s a drawback that I saw is worth it if noise cancelation is important to you.
      This headset isn’t for everyone, but for those who value noise cancellation, I would highly recommend it if you plan on using it for PC.
      So the takeaway, if you want a noise canceling headset with high quality sound for PC, this is an excellent and worth the price tag! However on console with AUX, a $50 headset could sometimes beat this. But for USB, it is absolutely worth the $300 or even $150 Black Friday as I bought it.

    Interesting product and nice looking imo 🥰👍🤩. What can I say …. Another great Techne review full of passion, energy & honest feedback listing both the “goods & bads” of a product! As a person who sometimes where’s glasses when gaming (& sometimes gaming glasses), I appreciate the fact you take the time to test the comfort factor as yes, some headsets do cause pressure on your glasses and ultimately the sides of your head. The mic sounds a little compressed & weight for me is a bit much for my liking as I prefer lighter headsets. Thanks once again for all your time, effort & honest feedback with your videos. Cheers 🍻

    Been using them HEAVILY for more than 1 year and the only things i have to complain are:
    1- How heavy they are and hot your ears can get after a long sesh
    2- How absolutely irritating, frustrating and ANNOYING the connect/disconnect/low battery sounds are, fuck those guitar sounds everytime you get just a little bit close to the connection treshold, can't even get to my kitchen without hearing them LOUD AS FUCK in my ears, it's so bad and if you got chill music playing softly in the background, they will BLOW YOUR EARS OUT and it pisses me off that you can't turn them off
    3- The mic is eh, for a wireless headset is not the worst but i would recommend a external mic if you want to stream/make videos, but the mic is flexible and you can take them out of your face techne lol
    Now the rest is great, battery with rgb off lasts the whole day(i WFH and game the night, 9am to 4am on the next day) no need to turn rgb on honestly, never had the need to charge them while using and i can count on my hand the ammount of times they died on me and i have to pull the cable out, just charge them at night and you will be fine, sound is great, the JBL app has a EQ for them but JBLsurround is really mid, the earcups are easily replaceable if they start to wear down like mine did a year later.
    The wireless connection is a trade, while the bluetooth can reach my whole house the battery lasts longer on 2.4ghz but you can't go that far on it like only in my bedroom.
    Now ANC is alright won't isolate you but gets the job done, and talk through is really good you can hear anything crystal clear and go back to your music with a press of a button, the dial to switch between game and chat volume on the headset is the best thing ever, i like them a lot and paired with dolby atmos is a go!
