Two of the devices, the JBL Quantum Stream dual-condenser microphone, and the JBL Quantum TWS earbudsw, are new categories for the JBL Quantum family. The Quantum Stream brings crystal-clear communication and the reversible stand provides 360-degree movement, with additional options included for a variety of other mounting options. The Quantum TWS, on the other hand, are a lightweight, Bluetooth wireless solution that also includes a USB-C dongle.
“JBL continues to create smart solutions for gamers of all levels. As the first standalone microphone and true wireless headset in the JBL Quantum lineup, the JBL Quantum Stream and JBL Quantum TWS were created to meet the needs of gamers, streamers and podcasters, alongside our robust – and growing – range of over-ear gaming headsets. With the addition of the JBL Quantum 910, players can enjoy our exclusive head-tracking technology, now in a new wireless form factor, for the ultimate competitive advantage.”
Ralph Santana, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer at HARMAN
Without further ado, let’s check out what JBL has to say about its new Quantum gaming products.
JBL Quantum Stream
“Be heard loud and clear with the JBL Quantum Stream, thanks to the 2 x 14mm dual-capsule Electret condenser with 24bit and 96kHz sampling rate. Two selectable voice pickup patterns allow users to focus the microphone’s capture on just the speaker’s voice or capture everyone’s voice in the room if recording a podcast or on a group call. Opting for a covert mission? Tap the top button to mute, which will activate an RGB indicator light for ease of use when in the middle of a battle – or conference call. The setup couldn’t be easier, with the JBL Quantum Stream’s universal mounting solution and seamless voice monitoring control. Users can simply mount the stand to fit their gaming setup and control their voice volume directly on the microphone.”
