I got a new headset and wow
The audio is 100x better. My mind is just blown at the difference, granted I'm playing like garbage because my voice sounds different and everything sounds different. But I can actually tell which di...

@DarthValtrex can you tell if they're coming from above or below? I can tell left from right but I can't tell if the footsteps are coming from above me or below me.
- @Daze623 The few situations I've been in yeah I could tell if they were above or below.
- @Daze623 The game doesnt have 3d sound so no headset will give you above and below sound. The only way to know above or below is awareness of surface sounds, if the surfaces are different.
- @hayhor I beg to differ. I can 100% tell if someone is below or above me simply by footsteps. Even looting at that i can tell above or below.
- @hayhor 3D sound is basically a proprietary term from sony because they are both software- and hardware implementing sound direction with their new chip they offsets sound processing for that chip. Only thing devs need to do is generate the sound and its virtual soundscape and PS5’s chip will do the rest. That accompanied with the 3D software sound enabled on all headsets makes it sound better. This is on ps5.
The 3D audio in ps4 works with same principle minus the hardware coded side. So if sound isn’t properly mixed in, the headset will point out those flaws extra bad...
Other than that, 3D sound is nothing different from Virtual Surround sound with added angles like Dolby Atmos or DTS: X 3D. Since (most headphones ) headseats have only 2 Drivers, you can’t have real surround or 3D sound, hence why virtual surround/3D and all upcoming technologies are simulated to still give sounds a place if they’re below, above, behind etc.
- @Daze623 I use Hyper X head set and i can say without a doubt its best ive used on apex legends. I pick up sounds that get me accused of having wall hacks cause i can hear running in the distance and what direction.
People always yell at me saying the games sound is horrible im sitting over here like when where? Thats why when i post on the forums of someone running up on me and im not hearing it then i know its 100% game related which is very very slim this happens.
People quick to blame the game and not their cheap head sets. I dropped 120 for mine and best headset ive ever owned. I also run 2 programs that help with settings of sounds Sonic Studio being one.
