Equipment
What type of equipment does everyone use? Headset/controller and anything else. I use a regular X-box controller. As for a headset, well the one I had stopped working. Which makes playing much harde...

@ColdHours I use a Sony earphone. I find headsets very uncomfortable.
Controller: (Reg) Ps4, gold and camo color
HeadSet: Turtle Beach - Ear Force - Recon 50P
@RevenanT-G7 That's almost the same setup as me. The headset I'll be getting is something similar to the Recon 70. Though I don't know the difference between the 50 and 70.
As for controllers I'm somewhat a purist on those. I feel that's all you should need to play and leave it up to ones skill to do the rest. It's fine if people want to use paddles or what ever besides cheating macros or scripts of course. But I respect someone more for not using them.
- @ColdHours Elite controller Xbox with 2 back paddles. One is for running as pressing on the thumbstick hurts my thumb and one is for crouching, altho I hardly ever use it in battle.
I either use Turtlebeach Elite Pro 2 White (Xbox Edition) or I use the amp from that setup and use my Bose Sport in-ears. This is when my ears hurt usually from the TB cups. In other games the Bose also give better audio soundscape but in Apex the sound is so... sub par that these earphones actually let you hear stuff the wrong way.
You can still talk even when not wearing ‘official’ headsets. In Playstation’s case it’s even easier as it connects to their controller and if your headset/earphones/headphones has a mic it’ll count. For xbox that’s not always the case.
Besides that, if you plug a lousy audio equipment into the controller, you get that constant feedback loop, static-y noise, garbled chat or the far-away chat noise.@Koochi-Q Wrote: but in Apex the sound is so... sub par that these earphones actually let you hear stuff the wrong way.
Boy isn't that the truth. The audio is horrible this season. People talking turns out fragmented and enemy footsteps are non existent. Also the direction of where the sound is coming from doesn't match up.
Funny little thing about my controller set-up. I have my triggers and bumpers reversed. I aim and shoot with my bumpers. And use my tactical and ping with my triggers. xD
