JBL Quantum 910X Review - A Special Take!

[@Underserial]

Ive done some tests today. U need to make a new "EQ and rename it" For example ive done all the first 3 bars totally down and the next bars complete rised up. And then saved this eq. Then launched the xbox and i clearly heard a difference in the eq. So it might save now!

[@Songz72]

What about the RGB modifications? Does it saved when you change colors? Or it’s going back to « green » when you put it on Xbox? Sorry for my bad English, I’m French ^^

[@nobelhobel_NOBL]

Can confirm this.

[@nicooooooo1130]

@@Songz72 Do you have any news about it?

[@damianminacapilli92]

This is correct. I actually do this now and then. RGB lights can also be modified and the modifications will remain on ps5. I'm sure it'll work for xbox too.

[@Neryuslu]

Thank you so much for your EQ settings, they make the headset very enjoyable. The flat EQ sounds a little muffled, but yours is awesome! I tried so many headsets the last few months and the 910X is the best package for me. Great sound, good features (like a real chatmix instead of the clunky or software chatmixes a lot of headset offer now). I tried the Nova 7X, Astro A30, Maxwell (great, but I had the common driver mismatch issue) but the 910X is the only one I will keep. Great headset!

[@GadgetryTech]

So great to hear!!! People often underestimate the power of EQ and what it can do to a headset. So glad you like it.

[@iParacord]

@@GadgetryTechthe EQ you suggested can be put on for Xbox and ps5? That’s what I’m gaming on not on pc.

[@rcdb4160]

What setting in atmos you selected? Game?

[@infernaltim]

You're not the only one that would be bothered by the asymmetrical wires on the ear cups. Even though I can't see them with the headset on, it would still bother me. Lol

[@cAg3d_Khaoz]

Any updates on this? I believe JBL fixed their issue with the EQ

[@TheQuickyouknow]

No custom EQ on console is a dealbreaker at this price point. Idk if I'd even sign up for that at $150.

[@Simon_Hawkshaw]

I look forward to hearing your audiophile product reviews. Thank you for your time and effort in sharing this information with us all.

[@cvtechreview]

Great review man. I really like the way you go over every aspect of these gaming headsets. I would like to hear and see a review of the more budget JBL Quantum 360x that recently released for Xbox and hear your opinion on those.

[@shaiyahtimmons3122]

Joe@gadgetrytech And faithful followers: update, I upgraded from the awesome JBL Quantum one today to the Quantum 910x, when you configure the headset in quantum engine, and save your profile while on pC with the dongle connected to the headset, your eq, and settings including rgb transfer over to console. I know because I tried it, but only through usb/ usb dongle not 3.5 aux If you bought a 910x - it works on all devices wirelessly. For Xbox when you plug in the transmitter turn on your headset, your transmitter will blink and stay green staying connected, it’s automatic for Xbox. Series X, On PS5 when you plug in the wireless dongle, press the little button once on the side of the dongle and it will turn white and now you are connected to any other device , pC, ps5, switch etc

[@alexmolina6114]

Just picked these up a few days ago I do enjoy them cant wait to hear your take on them also I paid only 180 for them

[@slavdoktorov921]

[@DELLB93]

Great review, when does the embargo lift for the turtle beach stealth pro?

[@davidd8892]

does the chat mixer completely shut off game sounds when al the way to chat? my steel series does that and its the most important thing to me at this point, I cant get into menus and mess with master volume when the game gets to loud and drowns chat out.

[@lowercasegoat]

Have you ever tried the Quantum 810? I was using those before I bought my Audeze Maxwwell set, and from your description of the 910, I get the impression that the sound is pretty similar. Considering it runs $199, it feels like it would compete with the updated Blackshark, Stealth 700 Gen 2 Max and others. The features at that price really set it apart, considering you still get the simultaneous BT and ANC (and RGB if you like that sort of thing). I actually got mine for $99 from Amazon on sale, which was absolute insanity. Would you consider doing a review for it/adding it to your roundups of the ~$200 range?

[@nwebster15]

I have the 810 and considering going to a Maxwell. What are your thoughts on the upgrade?

[@lowercasegoat]

@@nwebster15 If you are using it primarily for competitive gaming and not much else, then I’d say it’s not worth the extra price. If, however, you spend a lot of time listening to music, watching movies or playing atmospheric games, then 100% it’s worth it. Especially for music, the Maxwell is great. I’m not saying it’s bad for competitive, but I don’t think it’s enough of an upgrade over the 810 for JUST competitive (the 810 is actually pretty decent in terms of imaging).

[@nwebster15]

@@lowercasegoat Appreciate the response!! I use for primarily Sim racing (iRacing) and some COD but woudlnt call it 'competitive' im not a streamer or pro by any means lol just for fun but i do use them for Gaming more than anything else. So you'd say they are better but not worlds better for just gaming? And yes the 810s are quite nice actually. i had some Nova 7 (not pro) for a while and find the JBL 810 to sounds WAY better

[@MrChadLedford]

​@@lowercasegoatThe volume seems very low over 2.4 dongle no matter what I try or what device. On Bluetooth volume goes significantly higher. I typically listen to most headsets at about 50%, but with the 910 I'm finding myself maxed out and still wanting more.

[@lowercasegoat]

@@nwebster15 Sorry for the late reply, but honestly, I think that if you're going to spend $300 for a headset just for fun, you might consider the Turtle Beach Stealth Pro. I found that the Maxwell imaging wasn't what I wanted for competitive and sold it and bought the Stealth Pro (I have other very good headphones for music and I also wanted ANC because of my AC). It's a more fun sound, but still has the imaging/footsteps. I think if you're looking for fun/immersive sound, the Stealth Pro is worth considering. Music, the Maxwell still has the edge (not that the Stealth Pro is bad- it's actually really respectable, but the Maxwell is just fantastic for that). Both Maxwell and the Stealth have drivers that outperform the Quantum 810.

[@Alexander5R]

You good sir gained a subscriber. This video needs more likes.

[@Jcrompo]

So glad i just watched this video I’ve had the 910 since they came out but never liked the sound its was to muffled and bass heavy. I ended up turning to iems but I thought I’d give the 910 another go and after using your EQ I like the sound of them so much more. Great content man

[@bryanthall7756]

Great video thank you for the detail. Does the setting for sidetone not save outside of pc mode as well? Or is it just eq that doesn't save to the headset. Thank you!

[@chanbrian1320]

Thanks, really greats review. Btw, I saw there is software update from the JBL Quantum Engine allowing Q910X to save the EQ into the headset after setting into engine. So that consumer can use the customised EQ in the Xbox consoles

Can you compare these to the turtle beach stealth pro

[@theaerialfilmguy]

Been shopping vigorously for a new gaming headset on and off for several weeks now,..so i finally decide to give JBL a try over Logitech this time cos my logitech broke,...but first before i commit, i decided to come YT first to check unbox videos, specs and reviews. I happen upon your channel and i just gotta say the quality of your video is very next level compared to several others i have seen on youtube for headset unbox/reviews so far (which have not been such great quality). And for this reason, you sir just earned a new subscriber. I love great quality tech videos in 4K cos i love to see devices like this in great detail! I have to say thumbs up to you for the amount of detail and info you provided on this device! Im currently torn between JBL 810 & 910. I'm leaning heavily towards the 810 for the price-point but im still trying to confirm if it supports simultaneous wifi & BT use. If it doesnt then i guess i might have to settle for the 910 eventually. Great Video!

[@dumutruu]

where can I see a comparison of these headphones with steelseries, sony h9 and other tops for $ 300 now?

[@TehWatchman]

[@laurentdufour7019]

Any update on the saving profile thing ? Just got them for my xbox series x ... and got a good laptop but not one that can run cod like a breeze :(

[@jwlafferty]

So it appears all the Quantum 910s are exactly the same (910, 910x, and 910p) apart from aesthetic differences (eg. the 910x has green in the earcups and on the cables for Xbox). Looks like I'll picking up whichever one is on sale for my PC then.

[@netsoyluyorum]

Hello, I will buy the Quantum 910 model since there is no Quantum 910p in my region. I'm thinking of using the headset only on PlayStation. What are the differences between them?Can we transfer EQ settings from PC to PS? Would you recommend another headset? Thanks

[@tripleS88]

I also got the 910 model (910P was out of stock, but also prefer the black colour profile). 910 standard works well with PS5 as well. All features remakm except the custom EQ and Head Movement feature. Also uses the 7.1 instead of the QuantumEngine driver.

Does the side-tone works on console when enabled on the JBL QuantumENGINE?

I wonder why Audeze can't get the Maxwell approved by MS for Xbox when other headphone makers can and already have?

[@schizowallflower]

You said it's compatible with Dolby Atmos on Xbox. Can it be EQ'd with the Atmos app on the console or is it stuck with the default Atmos profile?

[@GadgetryTech]

You can use Atmos for EQ on Xbox without any issue!

[@sebastiank8925]

Is there something new about saving EQ to Headset for use on Xbox? Do you have 910x Dolby Atmos EQ presets for Xbox? Thx Joe ! As always great video !

[@yonniesboy]

Is this headset better than the artics nova pro ?

[@TheSledgeDevil94]

can you use the aux and the dongle at the sametime just 4 the sound?

No custom equalization at this price point is ridiculous. Even more so when it’s designed with a console in mind. Wondering how they even let that pass?

I still have my Quantum 800, but I bought a TB Stealth Pro and I regret it. The Stealth Pro clamping force is way too much. Further more, it has not the good bass like the Quantum, and there is no "surround" or similar sound processing. I back on my Quantum 800

[@ianb.1603]

Great review!! I dont understand why all the high end headsets ignore sound adjustability on consoles. Paying a premium price, there is no reason that they couldnt have an app tied to the headset. To me this is a total deal beaker. Paying for features you cant use. There are many great headsets ive been intrtested in that ignore consoles and it sucks.

[@GadgetryTech]

Thanks! sadly I think it's a cost cutting measure more than anything. Implementing on-board DSP with EQ adjustment requires a more expensive chip than a simple wireless transceiver + dac/amp.

[@lawrencedevera9046]

You have been different with the way you review products. Been watching your precious vids too and all are fantastic! I've been using the jbl quantum one for almost 2 years now and i gotta say those are one hell of a headset. Only down sides are it not being wireless and hot ear cushion. Im looking forward too see them have success in the future with all of the products to be released by them. Side question: i've been planning to buy a wireless heqdset and im stuck with 4 products in mind. Hs65 (129$), cloud core wireless (80$), cloud 2 wireless (129$) qnd the black shark v2 pro (120$). Which one is the most worth it out of all 4? Btw all are acceptable price to me. Thanks!

I really understand what good audio is as I’ve been around audio for over 25 years. I’ve tried and tested tons of headsets and headphones I’ve always been a fan of SteelSeries headsets as it suits my hearing for overall imaging and their Nova 7 Wireless is in my opinion the best wireless headset. It has 95% of the sound quality of the Nova Pro Wireless and it’s a lot more comfortable and still has great imaging, but there are headsets out there that’s really cheap to buy and still has really good sound and imaging like the Astro A20 Gen 2 and HyperX Cloud Core Wireless However, I’ve recently gone back to wired and my headset choice for that is the Turtle Beach Elite Pro 2. To me it’s superb and it has excellent imaging and in my opinion it’s the only Turtle Beach headset the superhuman is actually worth using I’ve compared my Beyerdynamic DT 770 headphones to the Turtle Beach and in my opinion the Turtle Beach beats that purely for gaming and imaging, but of course can’t be the overall sound quality In gaming I don’t care about actual sound quality. I care about how well the imaging is and how clear I can hear footsteps I went back to game with my SteelSeries Nova 7 Wireless the other day and because I’ve been using a wired headset, it felt like I was missing a lot like imaging and while I heard footsteps, it wasn’t like the wired headset If you’re a desk gamer I highly recommend to stick to wired, but if you’re a sofa gamer then yeah for the convenience use wireless
