JBL " is a world-renowned audio manufacturer that is marketed by Harman International Inc. and is well known even among audiophiles.
In January 2020, JBL announced the "JBL Quantum" series of gaming headsets, including the "JBL Quantum ONE," which became a hot topic of conversation as audio professionals entered the world of e-sports and gaming, where graphics and sound are important factors in determining who wins and who loses. The "JBL Quantum" series of gaming headsets, which includes the "JBL Quantum" series, has become a topic of conversation as audio professionals have entered the world of e-sports and gaming, where graphics and sound are key factors in determining the winner.
The "JBL Quantum" series currently available are all over-the-ear, or headphone-type products, but recently the first earphone-type product in the series, the " JBL Quantum 50," was announced.
The JBL Quantum 50 is scheduled to go on sale on November 13, 2020 (Friday), and Harman International has kindly offered to give us a pre-release copy of the JBL Quantum 50!
This time, we would like to present you with a review of the "JBL Quantum 50"!
Let's start from the outside
The JBL Quantum series has a cool looking box, and the design of the JBL Quantum 50 is no different.
The bottom of the box has a list of compatible devices, making it easy to understand.
The back of the package shows the product itself.
In addition to the description of functions and compatible apps, accessories are also shown with icons.
On the side, there is an explanation of the " JBL QuantumSOUND SIGNATURE " that enhances the immersive gaming experience.
The graph shows that the low frequency range has been enhanced compared to previous products.
Let's open the package!
The box contains the JBL Quantum 50, two types of ear tips, and some documents.
The ear tips come in three sizes (S, M, and L), with the M size ear tips installed from the beginning.
The ear tips are made of two materials of different hardness, with the outer ear tip being soft and the inner ear tip being hard.
The softer tip fits better to the ear, but it is harder to replace the tip.
The part to be inserted into the ear is slightly slanted.
It is a " twist lock function," which means that the earphones are adjusted by inserting them into the ear and then twisting them, which makes them less likely to fall out of the ear.
The letters "L" and "R" are engraved on the base of the earphones, so you can tell which side is left or right.
On the front side of the controller, there are multi-function buttons and a logo.
On the back side, there is a sliding volume button and a microphone mute switch.
There is a groove on the side of the controller.
When you want to use only one earphone, you can tuck the right earphone, which hangs around, into this groove to keep it neat and tidy.
Well made.
The plastic part at the end of the controller can also be detached from the controller and used to tuck the cord around the neck.
It is certainly annoying to have a sloppy cord. It's nice to see this kind of attention to detail.
Putting it on!
As they call themselves gaming earphones, we can't avoid reviewing them in a game.
Since these earbuds are highly portable, let's plug the "JBL Quantum 50" directly into the Nintendo Switch to check out the sound!
Let's try it on. Twist-lock function, twist to put it on.
Just a little bit.
To test the power of the twist lock function, I tried heddling while waiting for online matching for Fight of Animals.
I shook it so hard that my head hurt, but there was no sign of it falling off!
Even when I touched the cord or tugged lightly, it stayed in just the right position without shifting. Comfortable.
By the way, when I put the right earphone in the groove for one-ear listening, it looks like this.
As expected, you can feel some weight. But it's Good that it doesn't plop!
For some reason, I couldn't find any online matches on Fight of Animals, where there are probably nearly 7 billion players, so I decided to play a normal CPU game...
Fight of Animals is usually played through speakers, but how much difference is there between listening through speakers and earphones?
Ah...
I can hear sounds I couldn't hear before...
The bass range is quite strong.
Even the passive sounds of the hi-hat and snare are quite sharp.
I am used to listening to this song, but listening to it with "JBL Quantum 50" gave me a different impression.
Start the battle while listening to the great sound!
The sound effects of techniques and the wind noise of punches are quite clear.
It is easier to move more intuitively because you can catch the opponent's movement not only with your eyes but also with sound.
The bass sound is strong and punchy, but the background music during battle will also have a bass sound, so if you want to concentrate only on the battle, you may want to turn off the background music.
The sound is so clear and powerful that it is hard to believe that these earphones are reasonably priced at 2,880 yen.
The sound is clearer and more powerful than that of poor headphones. That's JBL for you!
The twist-lock function eliminates the worry of the earbuds coming off or moving while you play.
You can play games quite comfortably. And at 2,880 yen, it's a steal...
High-cost earphones that don't disturb gamers' concentration
This is our review of the " JBL Quant um 50" gaming earphones.
Although there are more and more people who prefer wireless earphones, I think that wired earphones may be an option for those who are concerned about latency or battery life.
While the price is reasonable at 2,880 yen (excluding tax ), I felt the performance was quite high, as it bears the JBL logo.
Why don't you give the " JBL Quantum 50 " a try for its excellent sound quality and ease of use, and its high cost performance?
The JBL Quantum 50 will be available for purchase on Friday, November 13, 2020, just a day or two from now!
