  • What is the difference between JBL QuantumSURROUND and DTS?
    The JBL QuantumSURROUND algorithm is specifically designed from the ground up to work with JBL Quantum gaming headsets—the software perfectly complements the hardware for incredibly realistic immersion. JBL QuantumSURROUND provides a strong sense of externalization, meaning that sound feels like it’s coming from loudspeakers in a professional listening room—or from the game world around you. With other spatialized audio solutions, it still feels like the sound is coming from the headphones, or just outside of them.
  • What is the difference between Soundgear and Soundgear BTA?
    The difference is the BTA unit, which is a Bluetooth transmitter. The Soundgear BTA comes with the BTA unit in the box. The Soundgear does not. The BTA can be connected (with a signal cable) to a TV set, a CD player, or any other stereo line-level source, and can then stream this signal to the Soundgear wirelessly, via Bluetooth. TV sound or game sound are possible, since the BTA and the Soundgear use aptX Low Latency, which reduces the audio delay to levels, where picture and sound will be closely synchronized. This is also the secret behind the option to connect two Soundgears to one BTA unit, for two people to share a TV transmission, or a video game. Actually, you can use the BTA to stream to most other Bluetooth headphones and loudspeakers, but only if these devices also support aptX LL will the delay be low enough for video use.

  • What router should i get, to have the best performance for my OMNI+ system?
    To have the best possible performance for OMNI+ system we advise to have a dual-band router with a powerful chipset and ram for best Wi-Fi performance. This will not only help our products to perform better and more stable, but your other devices at home will have more power and fewer interruptions. Please also be sure that your home Wi-Fi router has Multicast enabled, as our Omni+ system requires this feature enabled in order to work (same goes for Chromecast devices). Always connect our Omni+ system to 5 GHz Wi-Fi whenever possible to limit the risk of devices being slow or interrupted on 2.4GHz Wi-Fi.
  • What settings should I use to get the most out of JBL QuantumSURROUND?
    Different games have different settings, but as a general rule, make sure that your game outputs multi-channel unprocessed audio. We recommend 7.1 surround, but 5.1 works too. Always disable any other processing (like DTS and Dolby).  
  • What should I expect after turning on JBL QuantumSURROUND?
    The first thing you’ll notice is that sound no longer feels like it’s “inside your head.” Suddenly it seems like the game audio is coming from high-quality loudspeakers—or the virtual game world—all around you.

    It’s a different experience than you get with other headphones, and may take a little while to adjust to. For example, sounds coming from sources in the distance will seem farther away, as they would in real life. Even though you might be used to those sounds feeling closer with other headphones, JBL QuantumSURROUND provides hyper-accurate spatialization that can give you a competitive edge.

    So spend some time dialing in the EQ to your liking, and see how real-world hearing helps you pinpoint enemies and bring the game to life.

  • What’s the difference between JBL QuantumSURROUND and JBL QuantumSPHERE 360?
    JBL QuantumSPHERE 360 is JBL QuantumSURROUND that’s kicked up a notch by using a head-tracking sensor to fix sounds in 360 degrees of space around you. With typical headphones, when you move your head, the soundscape follows your movement. But with JBL QuantumSPHERE 360, if you rotate your head, the sound source’s perceived location stays in place because the head-tracking sensor compensates for your head movement. For example, if there’s a sound coming from in front of you, and you turn your head to the left, the sound source’s perceived location moves to your right ear—the sound stays locked in space as you move your head. 

    Also, the human brain uses small head movements to distinguish if sound sources are behind or in front of us. The brain processes the differences between when a sound arrives at the left vs. the right ear to determine where the sound is located. So with JBL QuantumSPHERE 360, you can move your head naturally to pinpoint the exact source of sounds around you. 
  • When I connect JBL DRG with my head unit via Bluetooth, the audio stream will be interrupted and I can hear “papapa…” noise when play music.
    • Please check whether your head unit Bluetooth support EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) • If the head unit does not support EDR this will cause the transfer data rate to be low and will impact the audio quality.
  • When I dock my K 912 or K 915 headphones in the charging station/transmitter, the CHARGE light does not come on, and no charging takes place.
    The rechargeable AAA cells may of course be worn out, or they may not be installed at all. If this is the case, either insert the cells, or you can order new cells as original spare parts. Please contact Harman Helpdesk for your country, or the distributor for your country, for further info about how to buy new cells. Please note that the cells MUST be compatible with charging contact for the minus pole located on the side of the cell. Normal cells will not work. This is clearly mentioned in the owner's manual, and shown with a drawing. If you have purchased new cells with plastic coating along the length of the cell, it may be possible to peel off the coating by cutting gently with a knife, then peeling it off. Only about 1 cm needs to be open to the metal, closest to the flat end, for contact to be possible. Please note that the ear pads on K 912 are removed by simply grabbing the plastic plate that holds the ear pad, and pulling it away from the ear pod. There is one battery in each ear pod. For K 915, never just pull the pad away, since the locking claws are released by being rotated away from their locked position.. Both batteries are under the right-hand pad, and there is a silk-screened instruction on the top of the pod, showing that you must rotate the pad plate just a few mm counter-clockwise to unlock it.
