At the affordable end of the range, the Quantum 120 keeps things simple with a standard 3.5mm audio cable. Stepping up to the Quantum 520 and Quantum 520X brings wireless freedom with 3 connection modes and an internal battery rated for 37 hours of playback. The 520X variant carries official Xbox certification for console players. Both models sell for 99.99 euros, giving mid range buyers solid stamina without paying flagship prices.
The flagship Quantum 850 sells for 279.99 euros and packs premium audio hardware into a modular frame. It carries official Hi Res audio certification, adaptive noise cancellation, spatial head tracking, and 4 separate connection modes. JBL built the headset with swappable components, synthetic leather ear cushions, and a breathable suspension headband. It also comes with a dedicated desktop dock that handles audio controls, RGB lighting, and battery swapping.
Audio performance across the entire line relies on matching 50mm carbon fiber dynamic drivers. Voice communication is handled by a 6mm cardioid microphone on each model to isolate speech from background room noise. This uniform acoustic design ensures even the budget 44.99 euro headset shares the core sound profile of the flagship.
