As part of its CES 2026 announcements, JBL has revealed that three gaming headsets are heading to the US market in 2026.

The most significant new model is the JBL Quantum 950X, the brand's new flagship gaming headset. It's wireless and boasts 50mm carbon dynamic drivers equipped to deliver Hi-Res Certified Audio.

The headset comes with a spare battery in the box, allowing you to hot-swap them when the headset is low on charge for a total of 50 hours of battery life. It also has a wireless base station, where you can control EQ presets, game-chat balance, and other features without needing to open the compatible JBL Quantum Engine software.

Of course, the base station has some flashy RGB lighting that you can customize too - because would it really be a high-end gaming product without it?

Other major features include its 6mm cardioid microphone with AI-powered background noise reduction, support for spatial sound, and 3D head tracking for a truly immersive experience.

It will release in April 2026 in one color, black, for the price of $399.95.

Options for (almost) every budget
