JBL listened and improved!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] JBL is listening to their customers and improved upon an already awesome microphone. The microphone is much more boom friendly since JBL moved the USB-C and headphone jacks from the bottom of the microphone to the rear of the microphone. The microphone is very user friendly and intuitive to use. The headphone and microphone is controlled by one knob on the front. The mute button is on top of the mic for easy access. Also the mic has four great functions depending on what you will be using the mic for such as podcasting, interviewing or a musician playing music. It's also a good looking mic. Would highly recommend!

Can you hear me now? Yes, loud and clear!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Playing online games with my friends is always good to have a quality microphone. The JBL Quantum Stream Studio is an awesome option to get crisp sound during multiplayer sessions. Starting off with the audio quality it is very very good! My voice is very crisp and clear, buddies asked if I got a new mic/headset as soon as they heard my voice because it sounded a lot better than my old mic. The only drawback is that this microphone pics up everything, even my kid's tv from 2 rooms down. I game on PS5 and it took me about 3 minutes to figure out the correct settings for the microphone and headset to work together since the output and mic audio was being sent to one device only instead of the output to the headset and the mic from this new Quantum Stream Studio. To fix this I had to go to the PlayStation 5 settings, Sound, Audio Output, and TURN OFF "Switch Output Device Automatically". This was the only way I could make the audio work the way I wanted. The microphone provides a sturdy base that allow it to be tilted to fit your needs and also screw a mounting arm if you prefer. The mic comes with 4 different sound profiles and they are easy to toggle between them, just press the button at the bottom on the mic and the LED indicator will show you which profile you are selecting. The mute option is my favorite feature, just do a quick tap and hold to mute the mic and the LED around the device will change from green to red, letting you know the audio is muted. Their audio can also be muted directly from the PS5 mute button on the controller. Build quality feel very premium and the mic will look good with any type of set up. There are LEDs around the knob that will show you the mic and headphone levels so everything is very simple to understand. I'm super happy with this new product, keep up the good work!

What a great mic!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I started using this mic at my desktop PC for chatting with friends on Discord as well as for raiding in World of Warcraft. When I first switched to using this mic, people didn't recognize my voice. This was because it actually captured my voice properly and is distortion free, unlike my previous mic. I also really like how it indicates when it picks up sound with the light around the volume knob. This is very helpful and frees up screen space when streaming. The light is also helpful for knowing exactly when sounds are being picked up by the mic so you can keep unwanted sounds from being registered with the excellent capacitive touch mute button on the top of the mic. This microphone has great sensitivity and doesn't need to be directly in front of your face to pickup sound. I also love the options to switch between the different modes of the mic. You can switch from a solo speaker to being used to pick up all the instruments in a band with a quick tap of a button on the bottom of the mic. I highly recommend this mic!

Great Mic Quality Product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very intuitive setup experience and very solid build quality. It also sounds great. I really enjoy the built in voice meter to give you visual feedback on how loud you're being and if you need to adjust your gain. As well, the pickup patterns are very easy to change between and do make a practical difference. Overall, very happy and definitely feels premium.

Impressive features packed into a compact mic!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Quantum Stream Studio is easy for a beginner to use, with features a seasoned professional can appreciate. Right out of the box, you can plug the microphone into your computer and use it immediately. It worked seamlessly on both Windows and Mac. This microphone sounds great, and it isolates my voice well. In my testing, the microphone didn't pick up my neighbor's leafblower or the sound of a hammer associated with a DIY project happening two rooms over. Many colleagues complimented me on how much better they could hear and understand me during Zoom meetings. Because of where this microphone sits on my desk, I was initially concerned that it would pick up the sound of my typing. Turns out that my fears were unfounded.
The microphone has four separate pickup patterns for sound: Cardioid (the default), omnidirectional, stereo, and bidirectional. A button on the bottom of the microphone lets you easily switch between these modes while staying out of the way so you don't accidentally change the pickup pattern. The microphone also has a quick and easy mute capability; just a touch of your finger to the center of the top of the microphone mutes and unmutes your microphone.
The front of the microphone has a volume control knob that you can use to control the volume of both the microphone itself and a pair of headphones which you plug directly into the microphone using the 3.5 mm jack next to the USB-C port.
I am really impressed with the abundance of features JBL has packed into this single microphone. More than just those features, they've also put considerable thought into the look and feel of this microphone. Weighing in at 1.223 lbs (554.7 g), twice the weight of the original JBL Quantum Stream, the Studio version features sleek lines and durable metal housing and base. And you won't have to worry about the microphone being knocked over by an errant cat on your desk. The stand's 3 1/2" diameter metal base ensures your microphone stays upright and secure.
My husband formerly worked in radio and was delighted with this microphone. He also noticed that the microphone stand and base are connected using an industry-standard 5/8"-27 mount, which made it easy to attach the microphone to a boom arm. Unscrewing the bottom from the microphone also revealed that the screw securing the base to the microphone is also threaded to attach to any tripod or boom arm that supports either male or female 1/4"-20 mount points (the kind used for a DSLR camera or tripod). Small details like this show that JBL was hyper-focused on versatility with this microphone and included features professionals like my husband notice. Bravo!
Overall, I am impressed with this microphone. It sounds great and has terrific versatility.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First of all, this microphone is very attractive! When streaming, I want everything to look great. The set up surprisingly easy. That is a huge plus! You can mount the microphone to a tripod if you like. I have not done that yet, but may in the future. The sound came through beautifully. I cannot wait to use it again. I love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This mic is a streamer's dream for several reasons:
Crystal-clear audio: Impress your audience with crisp, high-quality sound in cardioid mode, thanks to the mic's ability to focus solely on your voice.
Be heard, not the room: Ditch the background noise! Cardioid mode effectively minimizes unwanted sounds, ensuring your voice takes center stage.
Flexible setup: Whether you prefer the included stand, a reverse mount, or even a boom arm (thanks to the standard thread), this mic adapts to your streaming space.
Lightweight champion: Don't let the mic weigh you down. The Quantum Stream is surprisingly light yet feels built to last, so you can focus on the game (or the chat).
Light show included: Set the mood with the built-in RGB lighting effects, adding a personal touch to your streaming setup.

Sure, while the omnidirectional mode might not be ideal for everyone, but the JBL Quantum Stream offers a solid audio upgrade for streamers and gamers who want to take their content to the next level.

This microphone is fab!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the most fly microphone I have had the pleasure to use! The microphone, has a knob on top that controls gain input or headset volume and consecutively controls the brightness of the LED light; the louder the volume, the brighter the light. The knob, also serves as a function button, when pushed changes the color of the LED light thus changing selectable voice pick-up patterns such as cardioid to omnidirectional as well as other functions that I have tried to capture in my pictures. All the functions can also be accessed through the quantum engine software download which allows you to adjust various settings such as an equalizer (EQ), LED display, polar patterns and noise reduction. Some other notable features include voice monitoring with easy volume control, a shock absorber for noise reduction, and led ring indicator (red, blue and red for mute) to indicate the microphone status. This mic is perfect for when you only have a single sound source and don’t want to pick up room sounds that would affect the recording such as recording a podcast, on a skype/teams call or games that require online interaction or to stream your comments during the gameplay. I must say that recordings I have created using this microphone are crystal clear, especially when compared to others using a standard headphone mic. I like the LED light shows s that are incorporated in the Quantum products, which adds to the ambiance and overall experience. I have paired this with the JBL quantum 910P using both the wireless dongle and a direct connection and it works flawlessly. The workmanship and styling paired with exceptional sound quality make this a must have for those who demand a professional arrangement.
