JBL Quantum ONE wired over-ear gaming headphones

High-grade 50mm drivers deliver clear, detailed sound while built-in head-tracking provides a sense of space. Textured, three-dimensional sound for serious gamers When video games cross over from a time-consuming habit to lucrative career, the true professionals start taking their gear more seriously. That's where the JBL Quantum ONE headset comes in - the statement piece of the company's new line of gaming headphones . This ambitious headset features high-grade 50mm drivers under the hood, along with a 3D surround sound technology that can track the movement of your head. Active noise cancellation helps remove external distractions. And game soundtracks have clarity, power, nuance, and realistic sense of space. After all, the most advanced players rely on the directional and spatial cues they hear as much as what they see on-screen. I have a sample on the way, but JBL is already has already earned rave reviews from some of the leading gaming publications. Cutting-edge head-tracking tech adds a new dimension to surround sound What sets the ONE apart from the other Quantum headphones is JBL's QuantumSPHERE 360 degrees technology. Inside the headphones, there's a gyroscope that constantly tracks the position of your head. As you lean or turn your head, the sound field stays fixed and centered. From there, you can hear the exact positioning of approaching footsteps, the distinct sounds of different weapons, and all the other important sonic cues. It's no longer as if you're wearing headphones - more like you're smack in the middle of the game's soundscape. Almost the audio equivalent of a visual virtual reality experience. Hands-on with JBL's special software The Windows PC app gave me control of everything from the surround sound to the pattern of the headset's multi-color LED lights. You gain access to the headtracking and surround sound processing - plus a suite full of cool customization features - by downloading the QuantumENGINE software to your Windows PC. I
