accompany you on your console experience, there are also third-party options that are worth paying attention to.\u00a0For example,\u00a0JBL Quantum 360X is positioned as the wireless headset designed for use with an Xbox Series S and X.<\/p>\n<p>JBL Quantum 360X are mid-range wireless headphones\u00a0that allow you to have a gaming experience without audio delays while adding some advanced features developed by the same manufacturer.\u00a0Their\u00a0Bluetooth connectivity does not prevent them from being used from a computer, mobile device or even a Nintendo Switch\u00a0, so you will have limitations in sight.<\/p>\n<h3>Design<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-167362 size-full\"

style has been one of the first decisions that the manufacturer has made in its intention to approach the Xbox ecosystem, so this time you will have a single version for sale that combines black color on most of its structure but\u00a0with a green stripe on the inside of his headband\u00a0as well as on the pads.<\/p>\n<p>Precisely with respect to its clothing, it can be noted that the\u00a0JBL Quantum 360X is based on resistant plastic on its exterior but also some PU-coated viscoelastic foam pads\u00a0so that your ears feel comfortable and pressure-free after long periods of use.\u00a0The total weight is 252 grams.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-167366\"

that this model follows the same line of what we have already seen in headphones such as\u00a0JBL Quantum ONE\u00a0, although\u00a0in this case the bet has been raised with support for RGB lighting\u00a0(in addition to other advanced 3D audio technologies and cancellation active noise that explain why its final price ends up being much higher).<\/p>\n<h3>Cable-free sound quality<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-113502 size-full entered lazyloaded aligncenter\" title=\"JBL Quantum 360X has official Xbox certification\"

certification<\/p>\n<p>JBL Quantum 360X\u00a0invites users to focus on enjoying good sound quality while gaming, from recognizing the quietest footsteps in an environment to the power of explosions in an action title.\u00a0For this,\u00a040 mm amplifiers have been incorporated.<\/p>\n<p>As seen in the images, the built-in boom mic adds to the good vibes when it comes to communication as well, supporting\u00a0detachable directional voice focus with the addition of a silent mode\u00a0for those late-night gaming moments you don&#8217;t want to wake up. to the whole family.<\/p>\n<p>A very attractive detail is the addition of a\u00a0game-chat sound adjustment dial, because due to the fact that separate audio cards have been integrated, it\u00a0is possible to modify the values \u200b\u200bseparately between the volume you receive from the game in real time and the communications of the other players with whom you are sharing the game in order to balance the listening experience to your liking.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike other superior proposals in its catalog, such as the case of the JBL Quantum 910X, which complements wireless connectivity with a 3.5 mm jack for use via cable, here it is possible to synchronize with your gaming device via Bluetooth 5.2 but also\u00a0to use of a USB dongle with support for 2.4 GHz frequencies\u00a0, promising an optimization of the input delay so that there are no differences compared to wired headphones.<\/p>\n<h3>Headphones for almost all your devices<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-113504 size-full entered

Switch\u00a0allows you to activate audio synchronization via Bluetooth.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of computers, there is\u00a0compatibility with Microsoft&#8217;s proprietary technology called Windows Sonic Surround Sound,\u00a0which corresponds to the surround audio system that the new generation of Xbox consoles uses by default.<\/p>\n<p>In addition,\u00a0the JBL Quantum Engine PC software will give you a wide variety of configuration options\u00a0including its QuantumSurround technology for surround sound effects, its equalizer, microphone settings and much more.\u00a0You can even save
