Main problem with these settings is that to hear V8 rumble or throaty 5 or 6 cylinder exhaust note you have to increase volume to levels that will make mids and highs hurt your ears.
@@Xbox_Urnami i'll test these settings in r6 and get back to you. Edit: I played 3 games with these settings. Im not gonna say they are the best, however i can tell exactly how far and where are the enemies coming from pretty clearly. Keep in mind, im using the same headset that is shown in the video as well as i have dolby atmos. So for r6 i would say these settings would be great.
Great job with these settings. I was very close to taking these back if im honest. The sound out of the box seems to add some kind of "concert hall" effect that was awful... but your settings seem to have really helped with it. Thank you very much for your advice
I have been playing with these settings for days trying different people's setups and tweaking it myself. These settings are the best I've tried so far and what I've been looking for! Thank you! Now I hope they fix the Mic Monitoring soon, as that right now is down right broken...
Thanks Kyle! Glad it’s working well for you. There’s a firmware update in the works that will supposedly fix or boost mic monitoring so it will get better soon!
Love the videos, and absolutely love the setting you shared. Made an absolute world of difference. I had applied the "game" setting applied for Atmos, with "detailed" chosen as well, prior to seeing this, but your stock accessories app settings was great info for most people. Keep up the solid content man!
@@GadgetryTech Does the built in Xbox Settings EQ combine with the Dolby Atmos app EQ? Or will the Dolby Atmos app EQ work as a standalone EQ when Atmos for Headphones is selected? Thanks
Have been looking and testing EQ setups for these headphones since launch and I must say, with these settings and with the Dolby Atmos app set to Game Performance mode, this is the best settings so far, especially for FPS like cold war, very grateful for your video, much appreciated. And for that you get a like and a subscribe!
Thanks so much! It took an extra day or so of testing before I felt this was right to share. I really like this headset with these settings so I'm glad you're enjoying it!
I haven't even tried out the headphones, but thanks to your video I made sure to match the settings. Thanks for such a quick and easy video. Talk about an easy sub! 👍
Oh man, RUclips algorithm actually coming in clutch. I’ve just purchased this set and was wondering about how to get more clarity out of it. Thanks mate!
Great video. Straight to the point. Much appreciated. Def saved me from wanting to return this headset. Couldn't figure out the eq settings and it was driving me mad lol
Great to hear! As a side tip, as I haven't shared this yet, but there are more audio tweaks you can do. Lower both bass sliders 2 more clicks (the left two volume sliders). Then set bass boost to +3 to +5. I recently learned that bass boost only bumps low frequency bass which is not addressed by the sliders. The end result was pretty nice sounding bass when I was done with it.
Tried a setting from a previous tech channel. Was not Impressed. Tried YOUR settinngs. And OMG. literally fell in love with this immersive headset. Mind you...it's $100. And with all the features...it's hands down the best for $100. I played doom with these headsets and was awesome. I did download Dolby access. And I can not tell if did anything. I downloaded it and then uninstalled it. And the head set sounded the same either way. I will do more testing. Or just keep Dolby access.....when it runs out in September if I end up missing it I will purchase monthly , Dolby access that is...
Thanks for a great instructional video! It may be worth mentioning to others that your settings are noted by the lines and not decibels. -4 in the graph = 4 lines down= -8 dB.
When I first used these in a game the bass was insane, probably ok for some games but fps you can’t hear a thing except explosions. I gave them a basic tune like decreased bass and were a lot better. After following your setup guide, wow, now they are awesome. Thanks man.
Thank God for this video. I probably would have found settings that worked for me eventually, but this just saved me soooo much time and they sound SO much better!
Just applied these setting and ran with them in Black ops cold war OMG the clarity crisp sound and footsteps saved me a kill from someone trying to shoot me in the back lol Thanks for taking the time for setting this video up
Your review on this headset persuaded me to get the headset and the settings I used so far I only had a quick dabble on ff15 and it was picking up sounds I didn't think was actually there
I had tweaked mine to almost the same as this but still didn't like completely. Mainly because I did not what adjusted what. Thanks for explaining it. This setting is just perfect.
Just got a replacement after mine broke, and wow I forgot how BAD the audio is out of the box . This is leagues better. Thank god I found the video again
Mine arrived and these eq settings are perfect. Coming from a Arctis 9x I'm thoroughly impressed with Microsoft's offering. Has a great microphone and just more overall punch to it. And this eq allows me to pinpoint enemies
@@jorel128 yeah I moved completely from both myself. Now have the Audeze Penrose X wireless and it's just on another level. It's 100mm planar magnetic drivers just do things other headsets cannot
Great start to getting these to sound decent did just a little fine tuning to suit my ears much improved over the bass overload pre-set. Thanks for the video!
Hey man this is great, ive been watching your videos lately and i think your reviews are one of the best out there. Can you do a video like this, i mean your best setup EQ for the Astro A50 please
When I get home I'm going to try these settings! Such a great headset for the price point, and this is coming from someone that usually buys high end gear
I just bought this headset and I'm hoping it performs as well as the tb stealth 700 gen 2. I love the sound quality of that headset, but my game chat wheel didn't work correctly from day 1 and the left ear piece finally broke off of the headband. I tried the rig 800hx for about a week and did not like the sound quality or the microphone so I returned it and got the Xbox wireless headset. If it doesn't perform like the sleath 700 gen 2 I'll return it and get another 700 gen 2. Thanks for the short video!
Man, u're a savior. I was struggling to find decent settings for so long. I absolutely don't understand how Microsoft could have done such bad presets for such a great headset...
@@MapkSp that is unfortunate. I've had turtle beach. Then try something different. Don't like it and end up with beaches again. Is there no way you can get them imported
@@MapkSp I base it off warzone, if warzone sounds perfect the headset is perfect. As you can guess. Warzone sounds trash even with these eq settings. But these eq settings sound better than the default
I've moved full-time to pc and sold the Xbox. All these settings can also be achieved on PC too. Just need download the Xbox accessories app on PC, plug in the headset and set the EQ how you want just like on Xbox. You can also get Dolby Atmos on PC. All the settings stick after you unplug the cord and use the headset via BT on PC.
Bought these a month or so ago. Terrible sound out of the box. Too bass heavy. Didn't like them one bit. Even went back to game and swapped them over for another pair. Same as last time. And at the time I'm thinking HOW are these getting great reviews. Then it was made clear to me. Download the Dolby app on the xbox. Got some ideas for the EQ settings. And wow!! Totally different headset now. Probably need to drop the bass down a bit. But very happy with them now. Thank you...
Just got one and had to change eq right away, also hate how you don't really have much volume control with the headset, it's either really loud or really quiet.
thank you so much for this video!! i love this headset but was so disappointed with the presets in warzone, but this fixed everything. i like to play with loud game volume and slightly lower chat volume, and with the presets i could barely hear my teammates because the game volume was so base heavy. but this works great now, let me know if you find an even better group of EQ settings
Sounds good! I'm pretty happy with this preset for a general EQ application. If I go more fine than this, it may favor a certain game/game mix too much and sound funny on other games. Tough to say but I'm sure there's room for a little more improvement.
Hey since your a smaller RUclipsd hopefully u might see my comment btw I don’t understand how u got such good quality content and stuff and not have a lot of subs cus you are good bro good channel 😎
@GadgetryTech I have a problem with these headphones. The voice keeps breaking off. After turning them on, they work properly for a minute, and then ... a tragedy Headphones updated, charged, Xbox also updated. Where can be a problem?
