[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With the current gaming headphones market it's hard to decide which set fits best for you. What sets the Quantum 810 apart from the competitors is the ANC (active noise cancelling), the custom RGB effects, and the overall quality of the product. Even though they're mostly made of plastic, the Quantums feel nice and durable and the looks match as well, sleek and clean. Comfort is an important factor, after a long session of gaming there's little to no discomfort with these beasts. The active noise canceling is a real game changer (literally haha), it allows for more focus on the game, especially if you have to share a household with other people using TV's. Also love that the mic can be moved out of the way easily and automatically mutes while in the upward position. Thge customizability of the RGB lighting is a really great feature, I'm able to match it to my computer and my keyboard using the JBL Quantum app, as well as adjust the sound settings for the headphones. One of the coolest additions to the Quantums is their ability to be used as regular headphones too! Bluetooth connectivity and a 3.5mm audio jack allows for use on phones whether its for music or streaming. The Quantum 810s leave little to be desired in the features department and that's why I consider them one of the best headphones. 10/10
Perfect headphones for gaming, office, and classes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These headphones do everything you might need them to do as a gamer, office worker, and a student.
First, as a gamer, they have two modes of virtual surround sound: DTS and QuantumSURROUND. I left it at JBL's mode, but DTS is also useful. You can adjust your head size in the app, and that supposedly makes the surround sound algorithm more accurate. Quantum 810s produce all frequencies faithfully, and the bass is strong. I advise to tone down the bass a bit in the equalizer, unless you love the shaking bass of various 3d shooters.
The wireless dongle installed easily and works flawlessly: I don't perceive any delay between the action in the game and the sound reaching my ears. It's very liberating not to be tied to the desktop. The wireless signal is rather strong, and I can still hear undistorted audio from the second floor (computer is on the first floor).
Next, as an office worker, these headphones connect to your phone's bluetooth and seamlessly merge the computer's sounds with your phone conversations. This is priceless: you don't have to keep switching between the headphones and whatever you use to talk on the phone. The top dial on the left earpiece allows you to tone down the computer sounds. Unfortunately, you can't control the volume of the phone sounds (both conversations and whatever media you're playing).
Lastly, as a student who wears these headphones while coding and writing papers/latex, these headphones are a blessing in that they feature active noise canceling and play all music very nicely. The ANC can be turned on and off using a small button on the very top of the left earpiece.
As mentioned in the gaming section, all frequencies are produced very well by these Quantum 810s, and ANC allows for better concentration and lower music volume, while you can still hear all the details in your music.
Lastly, battery life is very good. I charge them up every few days of 3-6 hours behind the computer. My RGB LED settings are minimal, and I estimate that with RGB turned all the way off you can get maybe 1.5 - 2 times the battery life. But who buys RGB LED - enabled headphones and doesn't use them, amirite?
Overall, great headphones that do everything I wanted them to do. There is nothing extraneous or redundant, and all the necessary features are there. Great product by JBL.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These headphones are incredible! The QuantumSURROUND makes you feel like you are inside your game. I also love the ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) to eliminate any external sounds. The boom mic with its flip-up mute is a pretty ingenious detail for quick action. If you are a gamer of any level, I would highly recommend these!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Comfortable headphones for gaming. Felt heavy at first, but were good after a bit of adjustment. Kind of more comfortable without glasses, though not bad with them on. Easy to use the headset and sound quality is perfectly decent.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The headphones sound great to me. I love the controls available to control the volume and other sound aspects. The wireless capability has worked great for me and sound has been great wired or wireless.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Quantum 810 Wireless over-ear headset is superior to others I've used. I was so excited to get this high end headset! The sound is crystal clear and you can tell where it is coming from. They stay charged for over 14 hours so last me all day. Charging only takes a couple of hours to get to full. They are noise cancelling so outside distractions are not going to get in your way. This headset is the most comfortable I have ever owned and that's important to me.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off, I give the JBL Quantum 810 Wireless Headset a five-star review based on overall design, comfort, and sound quality.
Considering the price point, it comes in on the lower side of the higher end headset market. Ultimately, it’s the perfect option for anyone in need of a high-quality headset, including serious gamers, who don’t want to break the bank.
Here are some more details on why I love this headset:
Design and Comfort. Like other JBL products I have reviewed, the Quantum 810 Wireless is very well made. It has a sleek look and feel and is definitely built to last. Compared to other gaming headsets, this one is relatively compact in size. It’s a little on the heavier side but the padding and adjustable range makes it very comfortable. Although it felt a little tight at first, I wore it for several hours at a time and have no complaints whatsoever. Further, the volume controls on the wired connector and headset are well placed, responsive, and easy to navigate.
Sound. I tested the Quantum 810 Wireless with numerous games on my PC and Xbox (only works with Xbox via wired to the controller) and was thoroughly impressed. I also connected it to my phone via Bluetooth for making calls and listening to music. On all fronts the audio was crystal clear with no lag and the noise cancelling feature makes for a very immersive experience. The microphone produces a great audio return for other gamers and works extremely well for phone calls. The range for using the dongle and Bluetooth was pretty standard. I was able to walk around freely to a few different rooms without loosing connection or degradation in the sound.
Battery life. The battery life isn’t mind blowing but it lasted around 3.5 hours as specified. I did run it down a few times while gaming but was able to plug it into to a spare USB port and continued on. From full depletion, it took about an hour or so to fully charge.
Additional features. The JBL Quantum Engine software application offers access to a lot of extra features including adjusting RGB LED lighting controls and effects, tweaking the microphone settings, firmware upgrades, and equalizer settings. The interface itself is easy to use and allows you to customize your experience with ease.
Overall review. If you’re looking for a high-quality headset but don’t want to break the bank, definitely consider the JBL Quantum 810 Wireless Headset. The sound is awesome, it’s built well, and has a great look and feel.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are great! We have several other pairs of different styles and these are by far the top pick in the house. They are very comfortable even for long periods of gaming or work zoom calls. They look so sleek and very high quality and feel amazing on. I really like the lighting effects. I am very happy with the sound quality of them. JBL has such great sound quality and I was not surprised with these either. It can also be adjusted via the app which is very user friendly. The noise canceling is second to none. They can be used with the USB plug or Bluetooth. I have also used them a few times for work for zoom calls and have heard from coworkers that my sound is flawless. I like how the mic will show up red when your live too. The mic can be put up when not in use. I would recommend these to a gamer or if your stuck on zoom calls all day they are great for that too.
