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!!!

A simple and useful device

[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.

Great wireless microphone for streaming!
on April 7, 2024
Posted by: Jcuevas
from Ridge, NY
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Quantum Stream microphone system utilizes usb-c for its connection. The system includes a charging case which resembles one for a set of headphones from JBL. A wireless receiver which connects to a computer, tablet, or phone via usb-c is also in the charging case along with the clip on microphone. First I want to mention that I tested this microphone setup to my current setup I use for streaming and recording videos in a large area. I have a few wireless clip on mics used by my clients for when they do their theater work. The problem with them is they don’t have greatest range and don’t have the greatest sound quality. If there is allot of ambient noise in the area, those mics pic it up also. Battery life is ok I guess since we don’t use them for more than an hour at a time. After using them for 2-3 days for around an hour the battery goes down to about twenty percent. I guess they would last only 4 hours if using them continuously.
Now as mentioned before, the JBL Quantum Stream includes a mic, receiver and charging case which in total gives 24 hours of usage time. I like how you put the mic and dongle both in the case after use. The only issue is if you have the windshield connected you can’t close the case. It will still charge but you can’t close the case. Upon taking the mic out of the case you see a white light flash. Once you connect the dongle to a usb-c device it connects instantly. I was very impressed the first time I used the device. Very well built and feels very solid. It has a premium feel to it. I used it for a few days for over an hour at a time. After about 4 days I still had more than 50 percent charge left and that was using the noise canceling feature. The mic sounds very focused but you can hear directional sounds very clearly. If you use the JBL headphone app you can adjust the noise canceling and also the gain of the microphone. I left the noise canceling feature on seeing there there is allot usually going on around me and the environment gets very noisy. I also like having a button to mute the mic at certain times.
Having the case gives the benefit of keeping the mic and the dongle together. It also charges the microphone when it’s inserted into the case. Having it in the case for 15 minutes gives you an hour of usage. JBL claims you can get 6 continuous hours of continuous usage and a total of 24 hours when you use the already charged case. That is allot more than I’m used to getting with my other mics. After the case dies you can charge it back up with the included usb-c cable. You can charge the device and still use it at the same time.
I tested the distance you can travel from the receiver to see how far it would reach. My property is 100’x200’ and is very open without allot of obstructions. I stayed connected while walking the perimeter of the property while leaving the receiver in a central location. The mic has an advertised range of 100 meters on 2.4ghz frequency. This is way better than the range of the mics I typically use. This mic has very low latency.
In the end, the JBL Quantum Stream wireless mic is my new favorite microphone for streaming and recording. Having environmental noise canceling is a huge plus as well as an adjustable gain. Being able to roam around without the fear of losing a connection or experiencing latency issues is another plus. Battery life is amazing allowing me to use this unit for days without having to charge the entire setup. It’s super easy to wear by just clipping it on and muting is as simple as pressing the button on the mic. My only issue is the fur windshield. It works flawlessly but took some time to install it. I also have an issue with not being able to leave it on and being able to close the case. If I take it off I feel I will lose it but for the most part I won’t be taking it off. Which means I may never close the case then. This microphone is perfect for anyone that does any sort of video streaming or theater work and even some basic recording. It’s just perfect for all of it. I mainly use this mic with my phone. The JBL Quantum Stream Wireless is an amazing product!

Easy-To-Use Mic With Great Sound Quality
on April 4, 2024
Posted by: HunterTarman
from Lake Bluff, IL
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Initial Thoughts:
Straight out of the box, this microphone was pretty intuitive to use. Just download the app and plug in the dongle. From there, JBL guides you through the pairing process and then you can start making adjustments on the app.
The device itself is pretty sleek, and slipping the dongle and the mic into the charging case is satisfying as well.
Sound and Experience:
JBL has done well to provide a customizeable experience through the use of their app, which I enjoy. (The more JBL products you have, the more its worth keeping the app downloaded on your phone...)
Its nice to be able to adjust the sound quality (the gain and ENC) depending on what environment you are in. If your outside or in the car, you can adjust these until your happy with the clarity of your voice.
I've played with 3 different settings on the app that alter the sound of you voice, "Natural", "Powerful", and "Bright". So far I keep it on Natural as I havent personally noticed much diff we rence when its on Powerful and I dont like the way it sounds on bright.
The wind muff is one of my favorite feature about this mic. It can be taken on and off pretty easily, although putting it on took me a minute at first because it can be hard to grab, and the quality of sound does increase.
I went for a ride in my car, which has an old, lifted, and stiff suspension and a loud muffler. With the noise canceling on high (in the app) and the wind muff on, you could barely hear anything from the car except for a little bit when I accelerated which I thought was really impressive.
Battery:
The battery life on this mic is pretty good. I charged it up all the way and have only charged it up once since then after using it off and on for a week. I like how it automatically turns of after 30 minutes, although Id like to have an option to turn it off after 15 minutes to save even more battery.
Overall:
This mic is great for me as someone who sometimes needs to record themself. Its not hard to use and the quality of sound has impressed me. I know theres better on the market, but I dont need studio quality sound when I'm on a hike or in the car recording myself, I just need crisp and quality sound that people notice when they hear it and I get that with this.
I will say that with a loose shirt, the mic does sometimes thud against my chest if I star jogging, so I have to find a place to secure it better like clipped to a shirt pocket. I've never had the mic fall off my shirt so the clip is pretty stable.
If you're getting into vlogging, streaming, hosting a podcast, or just want to record your thoughts, I think this mic is a great choice.

The wireless nature provides a light weight and discreate solution for recording audio without getting tangled up in cables. Carrying case conveniently holds USB transmitter as well as wireless microphone.
