Our Verdict
JBL Quantum 800 Wireless
JBL Quantum ONE
The JBL Quantum 800 Wireless and JBL Quantum ONE are similarly performing gaming headphones, each with different advantages. The Quantum 800 are cheaper wireless gaming headphones with a slightly better ANC system as well as a wealth of connectivity options. The Quantum ONE only support a wired connection and are a lot less versatile, but have better build quality, a more well-balanced default sound profile, and the inclusion of JBL’s adjustable QuantumSphere 360 virtual surround system.
