For today's advanced gaming soundscapes, power and detail - The amount of detail that video game designers and developers incorporate into their works is insane. Additionally, a game's world-building may depend just as much on the sound as it does on the images, characters, and story. The JBL Quantum 300 gaming headset, which is the least costly in the company's Quantum Series series to deliver its simulated 7.1 surround sound processing, has high-performance speakers. This means that in addition to all the distinctive, contextual noises that might engross you in the gameplay, you also get a deep bass.

Battle-tested sound  - The same substantial 50mm drivers found in all other Quantum headsets are present in these headphones. Years of study and thorough user testing have refined JBL's unique headphone sound signature. They take this stuff seriously; we've been to their U.S. headquarters in California and seen their amazing testing facilities. It has assisted them in creating a sound profile that has been shown to please the majority of listeners.

Naturally, this implies impactful sound effects for gamers, but it also means clear conversation and directional indications that might be helpful when the rivalry heats up.

Using JBL's unique software firsthand - I could control the JBL surround sound with the Windows PC software. Out of the box, these JBLs produce loud, clean sound. I tried the software with both the JBL Quantum 400 and Quantum 600 headsets, and I really enjoyed the extra level of control. However, for an extra level of immersion in your games and videos ? and a suite full of cool customization features ? you'll want to download the QuantumENGINE software to your Windows PC. Depending on my headsize and height, I could select JBL's QuantumSURROUND sound. I could see where the sounds were coming from when audio was playing thanks to the app. A 3D avatar of my head, an audio speaker, was surrounded by graphics.

JBL's cutting-edge surround sound technology - When the correct material was used, the surround processing worked well. While I didn't play any video games, I did view several videos with surround sound. (With three small children, I've kind of had to take a break from Madden and Red Dead, but we have some Crutchfield gamers who are eager to try out the Quantum series.)

These headphones worked well with the latest season of the Netflix documentary series Formula 1: Drive to Survive. The effect of all of the gut-punching tire changes and brutal racing action was audible. However, in more subdued settings, such as a driver and race sponsor's office meeting, I overheard ambient details that enhanced the sense of location. For instance, even  though they were in a non-descript conference room, I heard a faint background murmur of machinery that told me they were within walking distance of the manufacturing area.
