The Best EQ Setting For Your Gaming Headset

[@carchie86]

Just got myself a Virtuoso XT and what a difference your EQ setting makes, it really wakes them up, what an enormous improvement over the default preset! Really appreciate the time and effort you put into the video, thanks!

[@MrCat-ck1pz]

a headset for god, i have Virtuoso XT too

[@rhysroberts8377]

just adjusted the settings on my Virtuoso RGB, seriously makes such a huge difference

[@MyProGamertag]

[@jamesbrannon6112]

I just bought this headset as well I am trying to find good settings for warzone so I can actually hear footsteps lol

[@braulioenriquematute9895]

Does ICUE have to be open in the forground or can I have it on the background?

[@GadgetryTech]

Good stuff man. A lot of people don't understand the level of effort it takes to make a video like this one. Good vibes!

[@miguelcalvo9337]

Amazing EQ. I´m a gamer and a music fan, personally love high bass so I changed (for Corsair Virtuoso XT) the second column (64hz) to +10db. This little change plus your configuration works amazing for either gaming or hearing music. Loved your video, helped a lot!!

[@TheTechne]

awesome, so glad to hear this!

[@austinczap5415]

I appreciate the clarity with just a hint of depth in this video. I picked up the Razer Kraken V3's and I knew the out of the box sound was not all they were capable of, but I was just making them worse. This was user friendly and gave me hope!

[@FM206]

I made these EQ adjustments using the Dolby Atmos app for my Corsair Virtuoso XTs; it made a HUGE difference! Highly recommended. Thank you!

[@GuilhermeHolz]

Damn, I tought the sound of my Arctics Pro was already awesome with the default EQ but this just brought them to the next level.

[@DMD2409]

I’m using a Logitech G Pro X. I downloaded the most popular community made EQ preset. I believe it was called “Sound 3.0”. The pattern was very similar to your EQ set with the values on the right side being slightly higher. I personally liked your preset more, it was really well balanced overall and the bass wasn’t overdone. Well done!

[@danlimao]

agreed

[@manolo_averias]

Sound 3.0 is kinda strange right, i think the values are so high

Using the Corsair HS80 and honestly that EQ is the best one I found so far. Much thanks!

[@Focus_883]

Just recently bought the Corsair Virtuoso SE, I'd almost dialed it in, but your recommendation is on point! now they are really sound much better. Thanks so much for sharing this! great video

[@sharpobjek]

Awesome vid! Been using my hs70 pro for week and not really getting the most out of it. Trying this EQ now and it sounds much better. Very helpful. Thank you so much! :)

[@therevanchist1123]

I test all my headsets with the same song so that way I get a balance of a lot of different sound combinations at the same time plus vocals. Trivium: In Waves starting at 90 seconds. I tried your eq but not on the virtuosos but the HS70 pros and it was way to tinny in the highs (for me) , I find it’s always best to start flat and move sliders from there and once you get a sound you like to lower them as much without affecting it. I’m running +8, +4, +2, +1, +1, +2, +2, +3, +2, +4 on the HS70s and that is give me a nice sound on the warm side. I do like my bass to hit but not muddy like the movies preset but I find if the highs are to high it’s fatiguing to listen to for long periods.

[@IttyBitty_Skitty]

Dude you saved me so much time I just got the Logitech g733 and tbh im not happy with the audio it sucks they are comfy, and the design is nice, but the sound is horrible even with all their software presets the surround sounds way too bad too. Luckily with your settings they sound so much better sound great with it. Thanks for sharing!!

I’m home sick and watched massive amount of content. I’m using steelseries 7plus with a DAC I bought. Your settings for COD and hearing footsteps etc is very well done. I tweaked mine a little, however you nailed it Thank you. Also the software has been updated on Steel Series sight to include the 13 channels for 7 Series at least.. I will grab the Pro’s also as the DAC is awesome. Thanks so much for doing this vid and explaining EQ’s Bass to Treble line.🤙

Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless Sounds amaizing with this EQ instead of the default Flatline. Would love to see a general FPS EQ to boost footsteps don't know if the included one is as good as it gets.

[@WuKuVex]

it depends on the game.. in mw2 2022 for example, footsteps are pretty low in that game so a little bassier settings help with that

Does the eq save within the headset? I have Artics 5 wired on ps5 and wireless Virtuoso ”stock” And on my game the vocal was horrible compared to the Steelseries Artic. So does the eq save inside the headset from the computer to lets say ps5 Ps love your stinkin cosy videos 🎧🤙

[@Barrett_Parker]

He's right about the Penrose because when you adjust the sliders it activates a limiter which squashes the eq and volume.

[@F14Mavrick]

I have what I think is an awesome EQ setting for the corsair. If you don't mind, I am going to put it here. This way other people can play around with it. This EQ is specifically for music. 32: +6db 64: +3db 125: +4db 250: +2db 500: +1db 1K: +3db 2K: +5db 4K +2db 8K: +4db 16K: +7db Enjoy, Hopefully :D

Do you have any EQ setups for the Logitech G935 Gaming Headset? I'm not sure what's been going on with it but the footsteps having been as loud lately.

I also use the 7.1 Surround Sound with the in-game HRTF feature and it's really good but like I said, the footsteps and such have been different lately and I haven't changed my settings at all. I have DTS Super Stereo Mode set on Wide, and that's been doing well other than front and traditional. Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, great video as well man!

[@curtismariani6303]

Thank you for this. I’ve been really struggling to get the sound right on my A50’s when playing War zone. If I run your profile on the headset do you have a recommendation for what to do with the in game sound settings? Thanks in advance.

[@DocRye1228]

This is for warzone only, go for boost low for footsteps. Boost your bass or low a bit ends to hear footsteps bcoz it gives a thud or thump. Decrease your highs or treble to save your ears from gunshots and killstreaks. But in general fps games, footsteps are in the highs/treble region. I know, warzone's audio is shitty and inconsistent compared to other fps games. Whoever designed its audio engine sucks.
