JBL Quantum 360P gaming headset

Gamers expect top-of-the-line products to make their entertainment experience as immersive as possible. Thanks to Telink’s SoCs, the JBL Quantum 360P headset is one of them.

Major digital manufacturers around the world have always viewed the gaming industry as a highly competitive and desirable space to break into, and the complex requirements for device performance and unique needs in gaming scenarios often test technical capabilities.

At this year’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES), JBL launched several new gaming headsets as part of their Quantum series. One such new product is the JBL Quantum 360P, a wireless headset that supports dual-mode wireless connections.

Recently, 52Audio disassembled the JBL Quantum 360P wireless gaming headset and found that it uses the Telink Semiconductor TLSR9517C multi-protocol wireless SoC, which supports various wireless audio connection technologies and integrates 32 RISC-V MCU, 1MB Flash, stereo audio codec, AUX ADC, analog and digital microphone input, and other functional modules that enable 2.4G/Bluetooth® dual-mode connection. In addition, the USB wireless transceiver uses Telink’s TLSR9517B multi-protocol wireless SoC, which — when combined with the TLSR9517C chip inside the headset — helps the headset achieve ultra-low latency wireless transmission.

The headset supports two wireless connection methods: 2.4G and Bluetooth. The 2.4G mode is compatible with the new LC3 codec generation and can achieve 20ms ultra-low latency. 

The dual-mode connection allows Bluetooth to be used for answering phone calls when connected to the game console via the USB wireless transceiver.

The headset has a 40mm driver unit, a 500mAh lithium battery, and a circuit protection board. The built-in motherboard is equipped with Telink’s TLSR9517C multi-protocol wireless SoC, a low-power linear charging chip, overvoltage, and overcurrent protection IC.

This chip supports various connectivity technologies, including Bluetooth® 5.3, Basic Data Rate (BR), Enhanced Data Rate (EDR), LE Audio, and Telink’s proprietary low-latency protocol. As such, all the features required for high-quality wireless audio devices are conveniently integrated into a single SoC. 

In addition, the TLSR9517 series integrates 32-bit RISC-V MCU Flash, stereo audio codec, AUX ADC, analog and digital microphone input, PWM, and other peripheral modules. It achieves ultra-low power operation, making it suitable for various smart hearable and wearable devices that run on limited energy sources.

52Audio Summary

In disassembling the JBL Quantum 360P wireless gaming headset, 52Audio found that it uses Telink Semiconductor’s TLSR9517C multi-protocol wireless SoC. The chip supports Bluetooth 5.3, Basic Data Rate (BR), Enhanced Data Rate (EDR), LE Audio, and Telink’s proprietary low-latency protocol. It also integrates 32-bit RISC-V MCU, 1MB Flash, stereo audio codec, AUX ADC, analog and digital microphone input, PWM, and other peripheral modules.

The USB wireless transceiver inside the headset uses Telink’s TLSR9517B wireless SoC in combination with Telink’s multi-protocol wireless SoC to achieve ultra-low latency of 20+ms and both Bluetooth and 2.4G connection modes. This combination creates high-quality wireless audio transmission that meets users’ needs for ultra-low latency in gaming scenarios.
