The JBL Quantum 650 gaming headsets were launched soon after they surfaced on the NCC certification database. However, those were not the only gaming headsets launched. The company has also introduced a couple of more headsets in its Quantum lineup. So, we are now getting the Quantum 950, Quantum 650 and Quantum 250.
All three models are equipped with 50mm carbon dynamic drivers and deliver spatial sound. Among them, the Quantum 950 stands out with its advanced 3D Head Tracking feature. By combining sensors with smart software, this tech tracks head movements in real time, adjusting sound and visuals for a more natural and immersive experience. Here’s everything we know about the newly launched headsets.
JBL Quantum 950
Leading the trio is the Quantum 950, which packs 50mm drivers, spatial sound, and the new 3D head tracking technology. It supports both Bluetooth 5.3 and a 2.4GHz low-latency dongle for seamless dual connectivity.
JBL also ships a wireless base station that lets users control RGB lighting, EQ presets, and game-chat balance directly. The headset includes adaptive noise cancellation with an ambient aware mode, along with a 6mm boom microphone.
Power comes from two swappable batteries, each offering up to 25 hours of use. Key components like the mic, cushions, hammock, cable, and earcup cover are replaceable. Certified for Zoom, the Quantum 950 is available in black and white for €349.99.
JBL Quantum 650
Sitting in the mid-range slot, the Quantum 650 retains the 50mm drivers and spatial sound while offering connectivity via a 2.4GHz dongle and Bluetooth 5.3. Unlike the flagship, it skips the base station, RGB lighting, and noise cancellation features.
It still comes with a 6mm boom mic and provides up to 45 hours of playtime on a single charge. The battery is replaceable, and users can also swap out parts like the cushions, cable, hammock, mic, and earcup cover.
The headset carries Zoom certification and will be sold in black, white, purple, and teal for €149.99.

The most affordable of the lot is the Quantum 250. It keeps the same 50mm carbon dynamic drivers and spatial audio but opts for a traditional wired 3.5mm connection. This means no wireless connectivity, noise cancellation, or RGB lighting. It does come with a 6mm boom mic and supports replaceable accessories such as the mic, cushions, cable, and hammock.
This one does not hold Zoom certification. Available in black, white, purple, and teal, the Quantum 250 will retail for €59.99.
