JBL Quantum – new gaming headsets at Gamescom 2025
26.08.25
At Gamescom 2025, JBL showed an updated series of Quantum gaming headsets, which includes three models – Quantum 950, Quantum 650 and Quantum 250. All of them received new 50 mm carbon drivers with Hi-Res support and a fresh version of the proprietary software. The program can now create spatial sound even on older headphones in the line.
The flagship model Quantum 950 offers spatial sound with head tracking, support for Bluetooth 5.3 and a 2.4 GHz radio channel, active noise cancellation and a base station with volume control and RGB lighting. The headset works for up to 25 hours, and thanks to two replaceable batteries you can continue to play without pauses – the base charges the batteries during use. The price will be £299.99 or €349.99.
The mid-range segment is represented by the Quantum 650: here the same acoustics with Hi-Res, support for spatial sound via QuantumENGINE and increased autonomy up to 45 hours, but without noise cancellation and a base station. The cost is £129.99 / €149.99.
The most affordable version of the Quantum 250 is a wired headset with a basic set of features, but still the same spatial audio through updated software. The price is £49.99 / €59.99.
Thus, JBL updated the Quantum line, betting on versatility: from an expensive flagship with maximum capabilities to a simple model for those looking for high-quality sound for minimal money. The new headsets will go on sale in the fall of 2025.
