A simple and useful device
on April 10, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Quantum Wireless USB-C microphone is for those wanting to improve the audio when recording on your mobile device. Whether you are a journalist or a content creator, this microphone has you covered. In the box you get the clip on mic, wind screen, 2.4Ghz receiver/dongle (USB-C type), charging case, USB charging cable and quick start guide. To make best use of the microphones features and customization, JBL recommends downloading their JBL Headphone app via the Apple app store or Google play store. The app lets you download the latest firmware and offers more control over the mic’s settings. You can adjust gain, noise cancellation, EQ settings, auto off timer, LED light adjustment as well. A simple press of a button on the mic mutes it and turns the indicator light solid red letting you know it’s muted. I tested the mic and it was able to block out background noise very well especially when compared to my phones internal mic. It offers a combined 24 hour charge, 6 hours for the mic and 18 hours for the charging case. Another great feature is the ability to charge your phone while in use as the receiver has both a male USB-C for plugging into you phone as well as a female USB-C for plugging in your charger as it allows pass through charging. The quick charge capability will allow a 15 minute charge to provide one hour of use. The charging case requires 2 hours to fully charge from dead. If you plan on using it outdoors throw on the provided windscreen which allows for crystal clear audio while reducing wind noise. I highly recommend this wireless mic If you are looking to improve the audio recording on your phone with USB-C charging connector.

Small package surprise!
on April 10, 2024
Posted by: Subman
from St. Louis MO Metropolitan area
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So, I received the JBL QUANTUM WIRELESS mic system and quickly set out upon the adventure of testing it.
I must say I was pleasantly surprised at the sound of the recordings. Now, with that being said, I took the time to go to the app to set sound levels as well as background noise suppression. The sound is impressive! Full range audio capture… no tinnyness and a tight, realistic bottom end. The human voice sounds very real.
I have to say this product is a game-changer for the recordings I do. No longer limited to power supplies and lengthy cables, I am free to go to virtually any location to produce my videos.
One issue I am having, is the windscreen not really cooperating with me as I am trying to get it to attach to the mic.
But… we can attribute that to operator fumbling… and fat fingers!
Overall, this system is worth having, worth using, and very simple to set up.
And….. NO MORE WIRES!!!

Game changing on the go capability

from New Orleans, Louisiana
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This portable wireless streaming microphone is a no brainer for those who like to have everything they need in the size of an earbuds case! The JBL Quantum Stream Wireless (USB-C) microphone is tiny but packs powerful capabilities from the ease of being a plug and go device, to its super long range transmission, to the simple app use. This microphone is really for the on the go streamers, influencers, youtubers, instagramers, and so much more! I have used the Quantum Stream for reels, one on one interviews, to even musical recordings for a brass quintet. You will not find another product that comes close to competing with the JBL Quantum Stream!

Great Phone Based Interview Microphone
on April 16, 2024
Posted by: Tim123
from Tucson, AZ
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I do a lot of field interviews for a small non-profit and this handy mic fits the bill in most situations. It easily connected to my phone (Samsung S24) and after downloading the app, I was off and running. The sound is very clear and powerful. It clips on easily to clients and is not too big on its own. The wind cover is a little awkward to put on and is pretty big but it does the job. The app is pretty good, though I would prefer more adjustments. In terms of a phone based mic that adds to significantly better audio to my phone videos, it really is pretty great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Quantum Stream Wireless USB-C from JBL meets expectations. Comes in a sleek black carrying case, which also charges the clip on microphone. There's a gray fuzzy microphone add-on, as well that can be attached. Comes with a USB-C charging cord.

Capture your audio like a pro

Posted by: svonavja
from Cleveland, Ohio
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having a good microphone that can be close to what you are trying to capture is a must, and after using this one during a conference I went to, I recommend it for everyone. Not only is it easy to use but it's small, has great battery life and sounds great.
Pros: wind sock included, charging case, great battery life, works by just plugging in.
Cons: windsock doesn't fit in the case, charging pins might be problematic on bottom of the case if gets dirty

Dynamite in a small package!!

Posted by: Van Goghs Ear
from Jacksonville, Florida
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'll keep it simple...this is an extremely high quality product. Certainly a prize to anyone wanting to produce a professional style audio-visual presentation. It's perfectly suited to the difficult task of getting clear and precise sound in an outdoor setting. I was impressed with the ease of use and how it easily took my productions up a notch to a professional level. They say "dynamite comes in small packages" and this product will not disappoint.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Quantum Stream Wireless USB-C microphone aims to blend high-quality audio capture with the convenience of wireless connectivity, catering especially to gamers, streamers, and content creators. As someone who values clear communication and professional sound quality, I’ve put this mic through its paces to see how it stacks up.
Design and Build Quality:
The JBL Quantum Stream sports a sleek, modern design with a compact profile that fits well on any desk setup. Its matte black finish and minimalistic branding give it a professional look. The build feels sturdy, with a metal grille protecting the capsule and a robust plastic body that doesn’t feel cheap. The adjustable arm allows for flexible positioning, and the cable management options are thoughtful. Overall, it’s a visually appealing and durable device that can withstand daily use.

Connectivity and Ease of Use:
One of the standout features is its wireless USB-C connection, which means less clutter and more flexibility. Pairing the microphone is straightforward—simply connect via USB-C to your device, and it’s ready to go. The wireless connection is stable, with minimal latency—an important factor for real-time streaming or gaming. The device is compatible with a range of platforms, including PCs, Macs, and compatible mobile devices. The setup process is user-friendly, with plug-and-play functionality that doesn’t require complicated drivers.

Sound Quality:
Audio capture quality is excellent. The microphone delivers crisp, clear sound with a good balance of bass and treble. It effectively captures voice nuances, making your communication sound natural and professional. Background noise rejection is decent, though not perfect—some ambient sounds might sneak through if your environment is particularly noisy. The frequency response is well-tuned for speech and vocals, making it suitable for streaming, podcasting, or virtual meetings.

Features:
The JBL Quantum Stream includes features like a mute button for quick silence, a volume control, and customizable settings via companion software (if available). The microphone also offers a cardioid pickup pattern, which focuses on sound from the front and reduces side and rear noise. Some users might appreciate the LED indicator that shows mute status. The wireless aspect is a significant advantage, freeing you from desk clutter and cable tangles.

Performance:
During long streaming sessions, the microphone maintained a consistent connection without dropouts. Voice clarity remained high, with no noticeable lag or distortion. The wireless range is sufficient for typical desktop setups—up to a few meters without issues. The microphone’s sensitivity is good enough to pick up soft spoken words, ensuring your audience hears you clearly.

Battery Life:
While primarily a wired device, if it has a rechargeable battery for wireless operation, it lasts several hours on a single charge, which is more than enough for extended gaming or streaming sessions.
