JBL Quantum 300 wired over-ear gaming headphones (black)

The JBL Quantum 300 offers immersive surround sound simulation for games and movies on a Windows? PC. Power and detail for today's sophisticated game soundscapes Video game creators and developers put a crazy amount of detail into their games. And rich, atmospheric sound can be as important to their world-building as the graphics, characters, and narrative. The JBL Quantum 300 gaming headset features high-performance drivers and is the least expensive model in the company's Quantum Series line to offer their simulated 7.1 surround sound processing. That means you get deep bass, along with all those distinct, contextual sounds that can draw you deeper into the gameplay. Battle-tested sound These headphones feature the same large 50mm drivers found in all of the other Quantum headsets. JBL's special headphone sound signature has been honed by years and years of research and exhaustive user testing. We've visited their U.S. headquarters in California and seen their impressive testing facilities - they take this stuff seriously. It's helped them develop a sound profile that's been proven to satisfy most listeners. For gamers, of course, that means hard-hitting sound effects, but it also means dialogue clarity and directional cues that can help when competition gets fierce. Hands-on with JBL's special software The Windows PC app gave me control JBL's surround sound. These JBLs offers clear, powerful sound out of the box. But 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. I gave the software a spin with both the JBL Quantum 400 and Quantum 600 headsets, and I really enjoyed the extra level of control. I could dial in JBL's QuantumSURROUND sound based on my headsize and height. When audio played, the app gave me a visual representation of where the sounds were coming from.
