Two-way speaker system
Saiga NAK

The sound quality is a two-way configuration with a 63mm woofer and a 19mm soft dome tweeter, so even at low volumes, the bass and treble sounds are clear and powerful.
The sound quality is as good as you would expect from JBL.
But what is most notable about the JBL Quantum Duo's sound is its surround sound function!


Surround sound can be switched on and off
Saiga NAK

Surround sound can be switched on and off with the button on the lower left of the unit.
When the surround sound is turned on, the sound is so three-dimensional that you may not even know where the speakers are !
The sound on the right goes to your right ear, the sound on the left goes to your left ear, and the sound in front goes to the front.
There is quite a difference between on and off, so I highly recommend you give this a try!


Gaming speakers recommended for headphone users as well!
