JBL is expanding its Quantum lineup with three new headsets. The trio consists of the lavish new Quantum 950X, the Quantum 650X, and the 950X, all equipped with the brand's 50mm carbon dynamic audio drivers. The 950X, as seen at CES 2026, is the most premium gaming headset of the lot.
The JBL Quantum 950X isn't just kitted out with 50mm audio drivers, but it can deliver Hi-Res Certified Audio with ultra-low distortion and is powered by the brand's QuantumENGINE to provide active noise cancelation. That's not what's caught my eye from this year's CES announcement, though. Just like our hardware team's favorite gaming headset, the 950X features a hot-swappable battery system to make charging a thing of the past.
Similar to the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless, the Quantum 950X provides an extra battery that can be swapped out whenever required. JBL isn't just copying SteelSeries' homework with this new charging solution either, as the upcoming pair of cups will also feature an accompanying Base Station, which will double as the headset's 2.4GHz wireless audio dongle, and act as its epicentre for audio and lighting effects.
