So to help clear confusion - You do not want to use multiple EQs for the same headset! If you import the Astro preset for the A40 or A50, you can still use Atmos, but set Atmos to "Game" with performance mode "Off". On something like the TB Stealth Pro, most people like the Stealth Pro EQ more than the Atmos tune, so I would use the Stealth EQ. If you're using the Stealth Pro on PC, set it to the signature sound default EQ, then use the Sonar tune if you can. Otherwise, the standard 10 band EQ I made for it works really well. For those using headsets not shown here, Sonar, Equalizer APO, or any 10 band tune for things like Atmos or your own DAC will all work. For using the Mixamp with a non-Astro headset, set the mixamp to flat, then use Atmos or Sonar if you can.
I've been using your Maxwell EQ combined with Dolby Atmos a few days now and it's awesome. Thank you a lot Joe. Keep up the good work 👍✌️👌
Awesome video as always! When it comes to Xbox using the SS Nova 7X, would you recommend setting Dolby Atmos to flat and using Nova tunning or the other way around?
How do I import your tunes to my sonar
Hello, can you advise a set up for the ps5 pulse headset ??
How do I put the link on to my sonar please
Extremely underrated channel given the fact this guy goes in depth so much when it comes to creating the best sound experience for all of us and on several different platforms too. Must've been hours upon hours of research and testing. Gadgetrytech deserves a lot more subscribers. Keep up the good work man!
Thanks so much for the kind words! I'm getting there!
@@GadgetryTechLove your content. My go to for anything tech. I have a question. I have Atmos on Xbox and the Maxwell Headset. Do I use the preset settings on both atmos and Maxwell?. Or do I use the settings on Atmos and use the default setting on Maxwell?.
Your in depth knowledge an explanations help to understand what work you put into helping us gamers. This is by far the best audio tune and made even easier to use with the sonar links. What a god send they are. The unnecessary noises that are so annoying have been drastically lowered and everything else you wanna hear just feels alot tighter and crisper are absolutely beautiful in the ear. Thanks for your hard work.
You've got my subscription. I love using Sonar, and with your videos, I'm able to get the most out of it. An updated EQ for Warzone would be great. Thanks for the video👍
I'm using Maxwell, as you said, I set it to Audeze preset and then apply the Sonar....... I was so surprised....... the sound stage... and the footstep.... i can finally hear them !!! it's a pretty magical result. .... unbelievable... great works !
Thanks as always for covering all the bases.Your efforts are greatly appreciated, Sir.
Simon, thank you so much kind Sir. That's very generous of you! I hope you love the new tune for your Model One!
@@GadgetryTech I'll let you know. Thanks again.
Thank you for your honest feedback on the game audio, I was on the fence on MW3 just because MW2 had the most frustrating footstep audio mix of any FPS I have ever played, and it never got fixed. Every play session is plagued by the feeling of having zero spatial awareness of nearby players in way too many situations.
it's a shame because a lot of the movement mechanics are close to perfect in MW3. it's a blast to play. The audio mix consistently gets worse though. And now they have the music/leveling up audio track mixed with the master effect, so the rock music is full blast instead of quiet like before. There's no way to turn it down now
I feel the same way about the games. I was all about CoD up until Ghosts then I quit the series. I only came back as it's my son's favorite to play so we play together. But I have played stuff like Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon since their original games and my fiancee and I play a lot of PUBG. Coming from those games to CoD is hard to accept as the audio awareness is some of the worst I've ever heard.
@@GadgetryTech I wish they would just break it out into multiple tracks so I can mute the level up sound.
Thank you. I tried these settings on my sound blaster G3 and the footsteps audio is so much better. Home theater really helps with less immersion so you can pin point the footsteps better.
Love your content ! Do want to mention, was watching your live gameplay a few days ago and in chat mentioned I used your Nova Pro Wireless WC tune but with home theater and you replied back saying that was possibly a good idea and would will try it out! Glad to see that's what you stuck with! Thanks for all the great videos!
This... this was needed. thank you for all the time and effort you put in for us. 100% trusted source that does the hard work. Thank you!
Thanks! Glad you found it helpful!
You are the maestro when it comes to sound settings and explains how 👌
I appreciate you
Wow! the links to import your Sonar EQ curves are a game changer! TYSM!!!
This video should allow us to like it more than once for the amount of work that went into making it. Thank you so much.
Thanks for doing this!
Am amazing in-depth review as always, Sir. Thank you so very much for all your hard work and efforts to clean up the sound of this game. Always much appreciated. Running with the stealth sneakers is surreal. Almost distracting from the game not to hear your own footsteps.
Haha yeah. No idea how this is even a thing!
@@GadgetryTech ninja has been part of COD forever, it was only on the last game that was removed. I have a question if I’m using sonar with my A40s, do I also need the EQ for the A40s on them or need to have them flat ?
Watched ur mw2 video recently and been using the bass boosts ever since mw 2019 but ever since these in depth videos kept coming out, u convinced me to have tht home theatre mode, and damn🔥🔥💯
Great video and great knowledge. I've just downloaded and tested on Astro A40. This is the first time I've ever changed up a preset from their standard 4 pre-loaded. I've never really had an issue with audio besides MWII and this. Definitely a lot cleaner for sure! Thanks a lot.
If you don't want ambient noise interfering use the "bone conduction" perk. It literally deletes ambient noises. Only footsteps and gun sound etc is on.
It's almost eerie how quiet the game can sound on certain parts.
Thank you!
I recently had to look you up again. You been helpful for years. Even today your MW2 audio videos are helpful in understanding a lot.
I'm sharing you in communities and discords to help more people on top of it themsevles.
I had to laugh when the COD community put art is war on a cod god audio pedestal when all he did he say hey install 5 programs on your PC, run virtual cable and use 7.1 surround.
You're videos are actually informative, educational, technical and real.
I appreciate all the Audio Video's you produce! Even more so, thank you for the quick settings download for Sonar.
Thank you 🫡
Indeed
The work you put into this video is crazy and we as a community appreciate you. Thanks brother
Thank you!!
just found your channel. i appreciate the in-depth explanation and knowlege for sound tuning. well done, subscribed.
Love watching you grow. Great job. I love your home theater in the back. I have a 7.1.4 myself using separates for the first time in my 30 years of doing it. HT is my passion and even though I have a lot of good headphones, I will take speakers any day of the week. Just put Wicked Cushions on my 560S.
Hi, I run Steelseries Nova Pro Wireless on my Xbox Series X, as well as Dolby Atmos. Do I run EQ’s on both Atmos as well as the Steelseries DAC??? or just one or the other? …if just one, is it best to run an EQ through Atmos or the DAC?
Impressive video Joe, as usual.
I have been using your MW2 Sonar preset on my Maxwells (with Spatial Audio On) and I love it, I will give this new EQ a shot now. QQ that I always have: if I use either EQ in Sonar, should I use a Flat EQ in Maxwells’ software to compensate? I am not sure if the Audeze default EQ is already flat. Thanks!!!
Thanks Sebastian! I would use the Audeze preset, then apply the Sonar or Equalizer APO on top of that. It's a pretty magical result on the Maxwell and I loved playing on them with that setup!
I tried dolby atmos settings with my kaira X and daaaammm is amazing!!! now I can hear the foodsteps clearly, your amazing bro thanks reallly thanks this help me a lot!!!!!
Haven't seen this channel pop up in my feed for awhile, got my maxwells tuned exited to try it out. Thanks man
Thanks so much for checking it out again!! I appreciate the super chat as well. Super kind of you.
This has been a great help, thanks! Question, I use the Nova 7x on xbox with atmos, do I stack your new MW3 setting on the 7x onboard dac then use your atmos setting on top of this? Also, what are your thoughts on enableing virtual surround on the atmos app?
Following
As a quick followup, I found your initial setting too dampened and no environmental cues came through for me on the Model One. I know I have high range deafness, so that has to be taken into account. I adjusted your initial settings slightly to get better 'spacial' cues. My adjusted Sonar settings are for your reference only: 1790 Hz to +3.5dB, 2500 Hz +3.5dB, and Treble raise to 3.5dB. The countdown beeps may be a little piercing, but with my deafness I can't hear them clearly enough. I may have to raise 1100 Hz a little, but testing a bit more. Thanks for your kind reply. Stay well, Sir.
You sir just earned a new sub. I truly appreciate your effort to put out this video and help the community. 💯💪🔥😎
Thank you brother super easy setup and great explanation for the reasoning behind your tunes
Thanks for all your hard work! Do you see any chance to revise this for the new Warzone Urzikstan? I think they changed a lot from Multiplayer MW3 and they are still updating/tweaking footstep audio in Warzone, but the latest update seems to have gone i the right direction! Another youtuber called ArtisWar already has a video on the PC aspect but I am on PS5 so I need Steelseries GG EQ settings (10 bands). Thanks!
Same here :)
Same here, would love to see updated WZ settings
@GadgetryTech console players are in desperate need of this since Artiswar dropped a video for PC players only. Help us!
Do you have the Dolby Atmos values? Its hard to guess the values based on the screenshot. Thanks!
Have you any update on the values yet as I'm wanting to know to
Not yet... Im waiting for @GadgetryTech to reply...
Thank you so much sir for putting so much time into the video and getting best out of sonar! I can guarantee that this EQ work very well in MW3 MP on Nova Pro.
UPDATE: Warzone just launched and boxes are super quiet using this. Also, my gunfire is unbearably loud and dulls other sounds. Can you please address this in your next video or here in the comments?
Same Every useless sound in the game is hurting my ears while I can’t even hear footsteps in the same building I’m in while shooting my gun
Da kann ich zustimmen höre gar keine Gegner
same
This is for multiplayer dumb dumb. Did u watch the video?
@@rafruiz8674go check out ArtisWar for his audio guide
Life saver!!!! I was ready to return my headset I got for my new pc. I have the Logitech x pro 2, the G hub software is horrible and after watching your video and downloading the SteelSeries sonar app it made this headset 100 times better! not only that I was finally able to adjust the chat volume of my teammates which was way too loud in game overpowering the game volume which especially sucked when playing SND.
Can't Wait for the new Warzone EQ! You are the best! thank you so much for bringing this to the community.
What a massive amount of testing!much appreciated!
Thanks for this! I've been searching for an updated audio EQ for MW3.
thank you for the video! I always look forward to your EQ settings and apply them in game.
Thanks!
Thank you thank you thank you. The variety of gear you provided eq was a blessing
Thx brother. This video helped alot with my new nova pros that I had absolutely no idea how to adjust. Great vid!!
Massive W and earned a sub from me for sure with this! Greatly appreciated. My friend and I *immediately* noticed our own voice chat in Discord improved with this preset as well and *REALLY* cleaned up the audio.
So quick!! Thanks a lot for this! I have been using your MW tunes since your first one last year.
Thanks so much!! Feedback is always welcome too. Glad you're enjoying them
I got the SteelSeries Nova Pro Wireless headset based on a recommendation from one of your prior videos. Would you adjust the slider on the Sonar tune for that particular headset, or leave as is? I’m not sure how this headset compares to others out of the box in regards to its audio profile. @gadgetrytech
Used your settings on my arctis pro wireless with sonar and they were good. Much improved. Had to up the bass side a dot as my preference. Thanks for doing this!
Have you had any luck adjusting that setting to warzone? I just go the arctic pro and I love them but I can’t get the audio right on WZ. It’s possible I will have to wait until they get around to patching.
Only person I go to for audio stuff, thanks man!
Thank you so so much for this. I was struggling to get it right! Your video helped a lot
So glad I could import the EQ this time, thanks for all your fantastic work!
how do you import the settings?
Thank you for doing the research for us and explaining it in a very clear way!
Thank you for your hard work and to share with all! I have the Arctic nova Pro for PS5 and will try this today as soon as possible!
I haven't picked up MW3 just yet, Christmas is hitting the bank account hard, but I'm going to be referring back to this in a couple of weeks. Thanks for all you do, Joe!
Thanks so much for the support! Have a great Christmas!
Click to load presets in sonar ...Clutch brother! thank you so much and Merry Christmas to you and yours
the best audio guide I've ever seen! Thanks Joey!
Subbed @ 10:53 because being able to copy your profile is so clutch! Thank you so much!
Thanks for these settings, used your settings for MW2 and it helped a lot
Thanks a lot for all those info and your preset settings
This channel deserves at least 100k subs! Best go to for eq settings on YT.
Great video! Happy I found your channel. Thank you!
Was looking forward to this one!
thank you for your tireless work. i know how annoying fiddling with these EQs can be. been trying to get my blackshark pro 2023s to sound right all week. and its def a journey. lol
Thank you so much for the quality of the contents as I am using a Steelseries Pro Wireless. I did the Like and Subcribed. 👍🙏
Thank you. I just bought a pair of Artics Pro Wireless because of you
Much appreciated! You’re the man! Looking forward to new updates 🤟 Subscribed and left a like 👍🏼
Informational, and in depth. I use a GSX1000 mix amp, I've never had any issues with the presets. Warzone 3 has been HORRIBLE with footsteps. I first used Steel series Sonar which was great, but would default your windows audio devices. Making it annoying every time you start up, having to reselect the mixamp as the main device for 7.1. PEACE is a great option, I will use the preset and adjust it as needed for my set up. Thank you
awesome effort, I appreciate it. Happy holidays!
Thanks so much for such a helpful video. the best video on youtube about game sound
Been waiting for this to drop
The import feature is amazing, so much better then manually entering. NICE
Great job with this detailed video! Liked and subscribed 👍
A very helpful video! Awesome stuff 👍🏼
Dude... this is exactly what I needed a indepth and straight to the point... Subscribed!
Thank you!! I just recently switched from A50s to the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless and didn't like any of the sonar presets. This one is 1000 times better!!

Thank you for your work man!!
Thank you! Really appreciate your help!
Holy shit bro amazing job and content I mean nothing like this would love to see something specific for Steelseries artis 9 but nonetheless love the new sound I came to comment after I tested and it was easy to import your setting rather than copying them
You’re a legend . Keep rocking 🎸
Thank you so much! I hope this will work for warzone as well
Excellent work. I can confirm real time improvement (Astro A50 in use). You have my subscription sir.

Thanks so much for the super chat! Super generous. Can't beat the comfort lol
Really informative video, thank you!
Will you do an extra one for the new warzone? Or does everything you talked about here apply there too and we can just use the same settings?
thanks for top notch quality videos about EQ... keep up this good work what u doing and good luck in future
Thanks!
