  • @Omni-Wan_Kenobi
    @Omni-Wan_Kenobi Год назад

    I have a questions.:
    1) What impact has "performance mode" in dolby access? I mean, does it manipulate the sound curve drastically or does it do something else with the sound profile? I want to decide if I want to do my custom EQ (not in dolby access EQ) for my IEMs with or without "Performance Mode" In Dolby Access.
    2) What sound profile is the best to chose in game for Warzone?
    3) If I want to use Sonar, do I use "Peaking EQ" for all dots(cant find import option there)?

    • @GadgetryTech
      @GadgetryTech  4 месяца назад +2

      Thank you SO much!! I am so sorry I missed your comment. I had an alert notification that stopped working for Super Thanks and I had no idea. Now I'm playing catchup!
      Performance mode plays around with prioritizing various audio cues in game to help with improving positional accuracy. I didn't find that to be the case all the time, as whatever change it makes is extremely subtle for me. In Warzone - I pick the Headphones mode. In Sonar, yeah, stick to Peaking EQ.
      Sorry again! I hope you've been well!

    Thanks Joe - another great video. Have always kept my eqs quite simple to get the sound as I like. Most closed back gaming headsets usually involve me adjust the 250hz band down as a starter. Astro A50x now used as my go to for gaming only - 250hz tweaked down, 125hz tweaked up and then a couple of adjustments to the 3500-5000hz area - sounds great to my ears now (but maybe not to others :p). Keep up the great work :)

    • @GadgetryTech

    First of all, awesome work.
    Second, thanks to you I've finally upgraded my 5 year old Arctis 9x (still technically functioning... but both sides broken at the swivel hinges!)
    The Audeze Maxwell xBox arrived a few days ago, as well as some WC pads & headband.
    Thank you for ALL your videos relating to those items. 👍🏻
    To be honest I'm not sure I'm good enough to tell the difference yet.
    I'm guessing 30 plus years of motorcycling and 10 years regularly on firing ranges have properly reduced my hearing abilities...
    But I can still tell most movie directors are absolutely ruining it for bike lovers, always dubbing the same sh*tty four-cylinder sound on everything two-wheels, from Aprilia to Zundapp!!! 😂
    Question: I'm not a gamer, and recently started amateur radio, invested in a pair of Heil Pro 7.
    I've also watched (too) many videos about EQ devices (like the EQ V6 from Ukfraine).
    Can they also make a difference on "activity specific" headphones?
    In advance, many thanks for your time.

    Hi been watching your videos recently and was wondering with Steel series Nova wireless pro headset are you meant to have the DAC EQ set to the FLAT if we're using the Sonar EQ or is it fine to have the DACs EQ set to like Smiley like I do and also use the Sonar EQ together
    Also wondering what you suggest for spatial audio setting as right now I have mine set full Performance and set to 80%

    Amazing video. Been using this since your last video for EQ testing. Just a recommendation, would be nice to have a little breakdown of what each hz range covers, for example you said 50hz for loot crates. Be cool if you had full range for footsteps, gunshots (your own shots and enemy shots nearby) etc.

      @alanbenyamin487 Год назад

    Here's hoping the stealth are still good for music, as the hd560s, as I spend most of my days working with them on then gaming fps at night or I might go towards the maxwell.

    This is amazing and well worth the time! I have a feeling i'll be referring to this video and your database regularly !
    Quick question, your Astro A50 Gen 4 curve on SquigLink is based off what. Simple USB plug-in or the Astro preset on command center? Thanks!!.
    By the way, I adjusted the A50 using Dobly Atmos and trying to approach the warzone 2024 beta curve and it seems very good ! (just cant get rid of the 80hz dip with 10 band like in the video)

  • @kinorhynch

    I'm really late to this vid, but I have astro a50 gen 4 for the moment. Is there any way I can use this on those? I'm assuming it has 5 band because there's 5 spaces to enter -7 to +7 but I can also enter frequencies. Don't really know what I'm doing but guessing I just have to get a50x's.

  • @FABubz

    Not sure if you have done this review or not yet but it would be good to see what the best headsets are for gaming. But also including audiophile headphones aswell to pair with a DAC and or AMP. Would be great to see if you believe the gaming headsets or the audiophile route have the better sounds for directional audio etc. this would be good for the people who aren’t really fussed about features

But the sound I'm sending to Sonar is first processed by Atmos, with performance mode. Can I use it like this or should I disable the performance mode in Atmos?

    i wanted to know if details of the tone/distortion at a particular frequencies can be different even when the frequency response is same? it feels like my sony extra bass has muddy but loud bass. And does EQ distorts the tone? how to decide objectively how much EQ is enough to avoid distorting the tone?

  • @hey_you_123
    @hey_you_123 Год назад

    Awesome video man, please if you can add razer blackshark v2 pro 2023 to your future call of duty video it would be awesome, I'v been trying several eq for this headset for foot steps in warzone using equalizer apo with hesuvi and now I can clearly hear footsteps but every other sound is not there or is annoying. In my mind is like every sound of COD belong to a certain frequency, and then you can volume up or volume down those frequencies to hear better footsteps for example using an advanced equalizer, but how do you detect those frequencies? maybe recording a warzone session and load that in some kind of software that shows you the frequencies? Well I wich I could understand this better but if in your future video I can have a decent warzone footstep equalizer for my razer blackshark v2 pro 2023 it would be great

    Really enjoying all of your vids regarding gaming headsets and EQ profiles. I’m using your GHUB EQ profile for the Astro A50X but I’m confused how I should pair that EQ with Dolby atmos EQ’s. Do they overlap? Should I leave Dolby flat? Or is it okay to stack say the gaming profile on top of your A50X FPS EQ in GHUB. Thanks a bunch!
