This is a long video but it's worth sticking through it! I'd rather explain the why and not just say "change this setting". Understanding all the nuances of MWII audio, and how to properly EQ your headset can go a long way in having an enjoyable experience. I hope you find this helpful, and any feedback is welcome! Just drop a comment on what you think with this kind of format! Thanks so much to everyone for the support and I'll see you online!
Awesome Job on your videos!

question I have is - if you set the eq on the steel series as described, what do you set the dolby atmos eq (XBOX SERIES X)
do you use the atmos settings described also or do you set them to flat
This tune working really well 👍👍👍👍
@@fioreguido1725 le dot ✌️
So would you recommend for A40’s using Dolby Atmos to use the settings in the command center and the ones in Atmos paired with home theater for best results?
Hi great video, could you do a video on the best audio eq settings for the playstation 5 pulse 3d headset for best footstep sound. Thanks
As a music producer and audio engineer, I confirm the information is correct, impressively accurate stuff for a gaming content creator! Saved me doing the graft also; thanks for the Astro preset ✌️
Also, when he talks about ear fatigue, when you come off and things sound maybe a little under water, or have a ringing in ur ears, change ur settings, tinnitus is no joke🥴
Thanks so much Rabbz!
Can confirm, 2 years of loud a50s and the constant ringing in the ears (amplified when there's no background noise) is no fun.
@@frankbliss2924 Does the tinnitus ever go away, it's driving me insane. 😭
@@FluxStudiosHD you just get used to it eventually lol
@@FluxStudiosHD you do get used to it, I spent years as a dj, at one point it was so bad it would knock me off balance, it doesn’t go away, but as someone said, you do get used to it. Just be sure to be careful not to do any more damage, once it’s done; there’s no coming back from it unfortunately
Thanks, I was really struggling to hear footsteps amidst all the chaos in game. Also I really enjoyed that you explained everything instead of just saying change this and that. Keep up the good work!
Dude, shoot-house has been out and every-time I would play I would hear gun shots, airstrikes and I COULD NOT HEAR FOOTSTEPS. I switched to home theatre and my god, a life saver ! You are highly underrated. Props ! 💯
This is exactly the type of game specific information\expertise that you can't find anywhere else. Good stuff, hopefully you continue to carve out a subscriber base because there is definitely a demand for this type of info.
Thanks man! Glad it was helpful.
My man! Saved my MW2 experience... i dont know why people requested the footstep changes... it was just perfect in MW1 (2019), and is the reason why i still dive into Gunfight there. Noone complains about the footsteps there... they are simply perfect. Would kill for the MW1 sounds... in MW2. EDIT: Thanks to this guide it is clearly more enjoyable now, and easier to notice footsteps on distance.
This guy is a god thank you I use Dolby Atmos and this Dolby settings you have here helped me
and if you use dolby atmos this is what he put -9.38 -4.56 +5.38 -2.63 +1.06 +2.06 +0.81 -0.56 +1.81 +4.25
Thanks so much for this. All the guides from my usual cod and warzone sources were recommending audio mix set to headphones bass boost to hear footsteps the best and kept wondering why I couldn't hear footsteps till they were super close and too late or not at all. Switching to home theater helped alone helped a ton. Using and tweaking your eq settings for my Sennheiser Game One headphones to a slightly higher gain for 110 hz peak is perfect. Thanks so very much!
I love how you set out your videos and the way you explain the reasons for the things you're doing or the settings you've chosen. It really instills confidence in the audience. Great work. Keep it up mate!
You're very easy to listen to and lay out the info in a great way. Glad I just randomly came across the video. Good job :)
Thanks so much!
@@GadgetryTech what megopcutube said. now i need to figure out how to tune these Sennheiser HDR 175's
It’s 1:15am and I was up looking for a video on this. And boom! You come through. Thanks!
LOL dude I was up until 2 am for two days doing this. I had to post it when I finally finished! Thanks :)
Bro that video is craaaazy. Not only I made my headset sound better but I learned about the audio and the frequencies. Respect dude
Man this information was exactly what I was wanting to know about footsteps in COD MWII. I will tune my A40 to what you have and then fine tune from there.
I am looking forward to you getting your new equipment in and seeing what other things you share about how we can better tune our setups.
I have a A40 also … do you use any of the 4 presets or did you go into the program to change stuff? I use non stereo and tournament mode but not sure what’s the best for the A40
Me too just got Astros did you manage to find a decent EQ? Do you use Dolby or star mode? Appreciate any reply
Did anybody find the best EQ
Highly appreciated my guy! Just liked and subbed. I used similar settings in Warzone - these tweaks are amazing for MW2! I used Equalizer APO instead of Steelseries Sonar.
Hell yeah, EAPO is an amazing program once you figure it out. Glad to hear it.
Damn my guy! I like how you work. Going to try out the EQ settings with my steel series! Thanks for all the research and testing. And thanks for explaining how the footsteps frequencies work
Trying this out on my Nova Arctis Pro Wireless! Thank you for doing this!
Here are the values for his EQ on PC for Steelseries Sonar.
-11db 60hz .707 - low shelving
6.6db 109.4Hz 2.0 - peaking eq
-3.8db 155Hz 2.0 - peaking eq
0.0db 248.8Hz 4.0 - peaking eq
3.0db 870Hz 2.00 - peaking eq
0.0db 2000Hz 0.707 - peaking eq
5.0db 7750Hz 0.707 - high shelving
Incredible video, I look forward to playing around with the EQ on my soundblaster x3 and ie300 to try and perfect those footstep sounds! Thanks a bunch
I really appreciate the effort, it really shows! I'm gonna test them later on but, it seems that on my end sometimes footsteps are nonexistent, searching in the subreddit it seems that other people have the same problem, there are even some videos showing the missing sounds
You are right. Sound is, once again, terrible!
wow I have been googling eq footstep settings for a while and your settings are perfect! what a difference this makes. Thanks
Thanks for the video. Sonar fixed a lot of the footsteps issues I've been experiencing on PC. My console player friends can still hear things I can't, but it was a massive improvement from where things were.
Hey man! Thanks for all the work you put in. I have the nova pro wireless and have been using these basically since you dropped the video. Was curious if you play WZ2 and have you tweaked the eq any for that?
Great video explaining the differences for when to use Headphone vs Home Theater settings. I also had no idea about the tinnitus option. I was wondering if you would recommend staying with the game mode or starting with your custom eq settings in dolby access for my setup. I currently have my Drop PC38X headphones plugged directly to my PC and can only update the dolby atmos settings through spatial sounds as the 'Dolby Atmos for Headphones' option.
Just got these headsets today and my G🔥😌 i appreciate your work forreal, we all do and I understood everythin u was saying 💯
Hey Joe, can't believe the algorithm sent me here. Worked with you way back at 419 in the tC days. Love the content!
Crazy dude! Small world lol
I ABSOLUTELY appreciate your efforts to *teach* this, with a lot of the intuition that is reasonable to impart on a newcomer.
That being said, it'd be cool if you could share some presets, even if they are only intended to serve as starting points.
I'm fairly certain the EQAPO standard formatting (plaintext) could be included in the description. Thanks :)
Hi, I use the Razer Blackshark V2's, where can I find any information on their factory eq settings? I know you showed them in your graph but couldn't figure out which ones they were
Never seen your vids...easy to say I'm now subbed.
Bro I’m 52 and have been gaming since my dad brought home Pong…
I drop $$ for this hobby and have a lot of amazing headsets based on yours and a few others pulse on what’s good or not.
This video as a lot of your videos are so good…
I absolutely appreciate how much you put into this genre…
Thank you sincerely bro for everything you do with this absolutely awesome hobby🤙
Thanks so much! Go smoke some kids in CoD now!
I think it’s absolutely foul that COD as a company don’t entirely recognise creators like yourself and others for the work you do. If they literally hired those like yourself the game would be completely different
What's his position gonna be then if they do hire him the footstep informationist like they ain't gonna hire people for easy ass jobs like that
@@Thanos5 data analyst & problem solver. It’s not rocket science. There’s always one commenter who’d got the most to say
@@unklekai8966 they already got people like that, they aint gonna hire some dude that made a video on RUclips 🤣
They have people like him employed which is why you have several different settings genius!! Like he said depends on what you are playing and what kind of sound system you are using, which isn’t really rocket science, really isn’t much to be learned in this video honestly
Yeh MW2 multiplayer is trash
The sound overall feels better in this MW2 compared to the Cold War, specially on details like distance. Also... do you have any idea about how much Ohm the DualSense can push? I connected an Edition XS (I think it's the same one I can see on your desk) and I was surprised on how good it sounds... I might be wrong, but it felt good.
Thanks! The Dualsense I feel is closer to 50-60mw at 32 ohms and seems to get louder than the xbox controllers. Yeah I tested my settings on the XS as well to make sure it worked well! I tried these changes on SteelSeries, Turtle Beach, Astro, VZR Model One, Edition XS, and a couple others to be sure it worked well on many popular models. XS is amazing
@@GadgetryTech thanks for replying and keep up the great work. Your contents are awesome
footsteps at least were miles better on cold war. but overall yeah
Thank you so much! Yours is the only video that I've found that provides advice and instruction that really works regarding emphasis on hearing footsteps in Warzone 2. I downloaded Sonar and thanks to your guidance, the sound is the best that I've experienced. My headset is a Xbox Wireless and thanks for the review that you did on that as well.
Glad it helped!
This is the video we desperately need. Real shit, no bullshit from some half baked streamer with a Astro mix amd eq setting and that's it. This deserves a sub
This is the first video I’ve watched where I feel like the OP is actually knowledgable rather than blagging it or copying someone else. The warzone audio is terrible but I used this for my arctis 7+ & seems to be an improvement.
Previously I had the pulse 3D which I could hear footsteps on but it also blew my eardrums into 2023.
Thank you for an insightful/knowledgable video and reassurance it is also just the game rather than the headset. I was going to send back my arctis 7+ but have now decided to keep them thanks to you.
I will be following for future videos, thanks!
love how thorough this is helped me out tremendously thank you
Great video with excellent info. So glad I watched it until the end. When you mentioned how the audio engine in MW2 is not that great and how sometimes someone will run right up to you and you won't hear them explains a lot. I appreciate all the deep insight
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Best settings yet. I’ve had the worst time with other RUclipsrs settings and advice appreciate the content man great quality
Hey man u earned a subscriber today not just in this video but others as well you seem like a real smart person when it comes to this
Respect 🙌
Great info and tips, love your transparent and explanatory approach! 👍
Thank you so much for this expiation on what the htz etc do, I use the Acris Pro + GameDAC, and have tried just playing with DAC, then Dolby Atmos and now Sonar Using the default COD Modern Warfare II settings on Sonar I was never able to pinpoint the sound correctly. Could hear it but not accurately pinpoint direction. With a baseline of these settings and playing around a little bit further I gone from being surprised all the time as I could hear people but not accurately get positioning to having much more Situational Awareness and able to pre aim based on footsteps so much more enjoyable to win more fights and not always relying on reactions to win..
Best content about audio/eq I have seen in ages!
I can lie I had to sub you hit ever point for everybody, that Dolby part had me sold good job 👏🏾
Glad to see you again. Your detailed review of the Audeze Penrose X was part of my reasoning for picking them up. I look forward to trying to update some of my settings shown here. Especially since expanding my multiplayer sound stage was the major reason I looked to upgrade. Some of it seems a bit complicated though...
Great headset, good choice. I purchased the same set
Amazing video. Thank you for the detailed information.
First off, you've earned a subscription from me. Thanks a lot for the sonar settings in steelseries. It really helped me tremendously with hearing footsteps in the game.....until season 2 came out. I was wondering if they changed something that warrants another look into the eq settings or just in game setting. I'm sure I and many others would appreciate an updated settings video. Keep up the hard work.
Thanks for your hard work! Very informative video! Didn't know about Sonar too! Have a good one!
Insane. This is the best most helpfull mw2 audio video out there! Thanks a lot 🙏🏼
Very helpful. Thanks for all your efforts to help us.
Thank you for putting together this video. I appreciate the work you put in man!
Appreciate you putting in the time to help everyone out dude
No idea why I missed this video, I've been subbed to you forever :( this helped me a LOT. Been subbed ot your channel since you did the amazing deep dive on the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless and the WIcked Cushions.
Kudos
Do you think we could get an updated version of this video with all the audio changes that have happened
Maybe search in RUclips for ArtIsWar.
Goood I'm dizzy, love how professional the video is. I have to rewatch this since I'm not familiar with all the terminology. ty
Very impressive technical analysis. I'm not an audio expert so this is very helpful to understand whats happening.
absolutely amazing. so glad i stumbled across this channel and your content. as long as you providing content like this. i'm 100% on board.
You should make a new one on mw3 including different terrain upstairs/downstars. Deadsilence, opening doors jumping in and out of water etc. You have more knowledge compared to other content creators
well done, this was very informative, looking forward to your full testing of a bunch of headsets once you get that rig in.
@GadgetryTech this is a great video but after the update on MW2 they have changed some of the audio settings. You should re-do this video again to showcase the changes as this will help others.
Thank you for Nova Pro Wireless EQ & Dolby Atmos settings! I'm going to try these settings and also change the MW2 audio settings to Home Theater @ 96 volume.
QUESTION: Could I use your Nova Pro Wireless DAC EQ settings (non-Sonar) in conjunction w/ the Dolby Atmos EQ settings? Are they meant to be used to together or are they meant to be used separately. Thanks for all your hard work, I appreciate it!
I don't normally put a comment, but you've been amazing and have taught me a lot about tuning, I have the nova pros, but jezzz, I had no clue how much tuning is involved. I'm definitely going to have a play around with these to suit my ears. But thank you for making this video!
Had to like & sub! 👍🏽
Fantastic content!! Thanks so much for this detailed deep dive into the audio. Sharing this to all my fellow CoD friends.
Thanks for the super detailed video! Your channel has been my new go-to for gaming audio
Thorough and clear. Thanks for the effort on this one!
Just got my new artics nova pro and ur video helped so much. And u gain a new sub from AUS
Such a great well explained put together video. You brought clarity to this subject for me 👍
I’m only 5 minutes in and this video is already amazing. Well done sir.
Thank you for your time sir. Great video 👍
Amazing setup! i'm using the nova pro and damn this has helped a lot! Thank you.
What an awesome video. Even if it doesn't work for me don't know haven't tried you went into detail on everything. Awesome stuff!
Simple outstanding job! Your review are top first class! Bravo!
This setting wprks for just about every game. No joke. It is such a good audio setup. Its not just for footsteps. Its is simply great for audio clarity from weapons, footsteps, speech, clashes. I play a l9t of fantasy games. Pve story lines. Old school games. And this setting just about works in 95% of all the games I play.
Thank you this was very good and super helpful
Man, thank you so much! You’re the best!!
You're welcome! Hope it helps
What a find of a channel, informative and interesting video, thanks for your effort
Best video I've seen on this topic well done sir.
So going to try this with my Arctis 9x when I get home... I tuned it for Modern Warfare 2019 but oh how the sound in MODERN Warfare 2 is different its really disadvantaged my game, you should defo go ahead with the headset tuning videos to help us gamers out, was gonna upgrade to the Audeze Penrose X but saw your exclusive in the Audeze MAXWELL so I'm waiting to see what you have to say about that before I buy... Keep up the great work really enjoyed what you did here...
great video! Foves linked it in discord and had to check it out. One thing that doesn't seem clear unless I missed it. If I have Astro A40's with mixamp. do you recommend using both the tuning in the Astro Command center as well as in Dolby Atmos? or just one or the other?
His review was the middle of November on the audio issues (hearing nothing, no footsteps, to hearing them far away)…. It’s almost the end of May and these issues still exist… smh.
wow, a powerpoint? damn joe, respect…. videos continually impress.
Yeah lol... Wasn't sure how this video was going to go but it was the only way I could explain it well enough
Awesome video! Been loving MWII and definitely giving this a try tonight through Sonar on my Nova Pro Wireless. I was using the Headphones audio mix and had to turn the master volume down between 50 and 70 because of how loud it is. Def gonna try Home Theater, thanks for the vid and EQ tune as always!
Good luck Killa! You know how to reach me lol. Enjoy
Can you do a new one please?
Awesome video, definitely got a subscriber. I've been using the Sennheiser HD 599 SE's with the Fosi Audio DAC/Amp and still have not been able to get super clear footsteps. Even watching streamers, I can hear footsteps better on their stream. Using voicemeeter potato but I was never confident enough to play with the EQ until the stats that you provided. Going to give this a shot, thank you!
Great video! I ended up sticking with the Nova Pro Wireless and the ANC bump is thankfully no issue for the ears on my big head. Lol I'm looking forward to comparing your MW2 optimized settings vs your "general" settings. Thanks!
Without the virtualizer Dolby Atmos = 2 channel stereo and nothing else. You'd get bad directional audio because there is no rear "channel". The sound cuts off and goes to right to left and left to right. Can cause confusion in directional terms.
Surround virtualizers are excellent (when done properly) for directional cues.
Great video, thanks for explaining everything and showing your setting I have been looking for a video with information for both Astro and nova pro
Glad it was helpful!
Great video, thank you. This is just the kind of video I look for when it comes to sound in these games. I use Peace/APO and have a decent pair of Sennheiser headphones which are pretty neutral, so I'll take your EQ and then I'll have to just experiment with it over the next few days, but really appreciate the starting point, thanks!
Awesome video. Just got a nova pro wireless so appreciated seeing the setting recommendations.
Awesome! That's a hell of a setup!
great guide, thanks!
Absolutely brilliant video really nice and I appreciate your hard work could you please do settings for the equaliser for the ps5 pulse headset if possible
This is GOLD ❤
This is awesome. Exactly what I am looking for. I have the AD-ATH700x and looking to maximize footsteps.
Solid video. How far down do you turn your in-game volume for the headphone preset? I assume you need to drop it to around 40 or so? Also why not test Cinema mode with the highest dynamic range?
Insane level of quality - keep going brother
Thank you Simon!
Very clean explanations, learned lots, Ty!
Thank you for this. Very informative and detailed. Subbed
Quick question please:
Will the Nova Pro settings/eq work on the Nova 7?
This video is great, thanks for all this help!!!
Subbed cause of that outro music. Nice!
This format is great!!! Love the all the details you go into and ultimately your settings sound great! Can you do this for more specific games? How about Valorant next!? Thanks for the good stuff I found this video and I liked and subscribed!
Thanks so much! I have so much content coming out over a small period of time I likely can't do it soon, but I'd love to visit more games down the road! I appreciate the feedback
you saved my ears
thank you for the settings !!
Great video. I appreciate all the hard work.
Wonderful video. Thank you!
