The Quantum 910 is a fine-tuned product with exceptional features and functions. We put it to the test for two weeks to share how well (or not) it performs. These details will help you decide if it is worth purchasing and if it supports your current system.

JBL Quantum 910 Wireless Review – Design and Functionality
The Quantum 910 headband slider has a collection of settings, and its form caters to multiple head sizes. While writing our JBL Quantum 910 Wireless Review, we also saw the hinges of its ear cups.
These provide an adequate firmness ratio, and their flexibility is entirely rotatable. So, the headset can lay flat around the neck.
The left ear cup carries the ANC button and two dials. One button is the volume control, while the other is the game audio-chat balance.
Aside from these, you will find the mute button, charging port, and the 3.5mm audio jack. JBL also integrated an intuitive layout to make navigating these controls simple.
Fortunately, you know which one is in use since the two audio dials feel different. So during our tests for this JBL Quantum 910 Wireless Review, controlling the headset was seamless.
Its right ear cup houses a spatial sound button and power toggle switch. The latter also functions as a pairing button when pushed back.

Hands-on with the JBL Quantum 910 Wireless
Let us continue our JBL Quantum 910 Wireless Review and discuss how it performs. Then, we tested it to see whether it was an ideal wireless headset to consider.
Setting up the headset is easy because it is a plug-and-play product. However, to fully maximise the Quantum 910, we suggest installing the Quantum Engine software. Once you download it from the official site of JBL, you can start tweaking its audio settings and manage the lighting.
The app provides equaliser settings with preset profiles and the option to tweak audio options. For its RGBs, the software lets you adjust the two ear cups, including the ring and logo.
Besides its preset lighting profiles, it also lets you create your profiles.
The most important part of our JBL Quantum 910 Wireless Review is to know its audio quality. And as expected from JBL, the Quantum 10 sounded exceptional, and it delivers the best for its price range.
Its levels were impressive, with a surround sound element and powerful bass that creates an audio bubble. This quality keeps everything within that space, making it perfect for an immersive gaming experience.
No matter the task, you will enjoy the entire experience because of its crisp, defined, and clear audio.
The highlight of this headset is its ANC feature, which makes the audio pop. With the outside noise filtered, gaming audio or music immersion is top-notch.
We had no connectivity issues when we tried the headset on our PS4, PC, and Nintendo Switch. To our surprise, everything connected smoothly.
The audio was excellent on the Switch. However, using the dongle felt unstable in handheld mode, as it links to the USB-C port.
The flip-to-mute boom mic with echo + noise suppression works efficiently, and everyone has no issues hearing each other. We did a 1-hour call to test its mic, which sounded impressive. Additionally, its noise-reduction capabilities and crispness was the highlight of its mic.
JBL Quantum 910 Wireless Review Summary
The market has many headset options, so choosing the best one can take time and effort. However, if you plan to invest in an expensive, feature-rich product, JBL brings an excellent option.
The Quantum 910 is a high-quality headset for active gamers who want immersive sound and superior noise-cancelling. It also offers adequate comfort, allowing you to wear it for a long time.
