Harman, a subsidiary of Samsung Electronics, said on the 2nd it will launch three new JBL brand gaming audio Quantum series headsets.
The new lineup consists of the JBL Quantum 950, 650, and 250. The list prices are ▲ 950 model 449,000 won ▲ 650 model 239,000 won ▲ 250 model 99,000 won.
The top model in the series, the JBL Quantum 950, is equipped with 50 mm carbon dynamic drivers. It meets the high-resolution audio standard (Hi-Res) defined by the Japan Audio Society (JAS). Harman applied the latest technologies to the JBL Quantum 950, including ▲ Quantum Engine ▲ Quantum Spatial Sound ▲ 3D head tracking ▲ active noise canceling. The company said, "With enhanced high-frequency response, it accurately delivers even subtle in-game sounds such as footsteps, reloading, and positional movement."
The JBL Quantum 950 features a lightweight design and a hammock headband. The company said its breathable mesh suspension structure distributes weight evenly. It also has a cardioid boom mic enlarged from the previous 4 mm to 6 mm. The AI noise reduction feature helps teammates hear your voice instead of keyboard clicks or other background noise. The JBL Quantum 950 uses a hot-swap dual-battery system, allowing use while swapping batteries. The batteries can be charged in the dedicated base station. It supports 2.4 GHz wireless and Bluetooth 5.3 wired connection.
