@hayhor My current headset (Astro A40) could use a DAC, but there's no way I'm paying another $150 *on top of $150* for a gaming headset. Funny you mention the mic - when I got this headset my buddy immediately mentioned that the mic sounded worse than my previous, much cheaper HyperX headset.
@pandareno1999 Yeah I went from an arctis 5 to the Sony and my friends asked if I had a cold. 🤣
I was of the same thought as you. I could have bought the steelseries daq but it cost more than the whole headset.

After playing for a few days on these settings, I feel very strongly that my directional audio has improved considerably.
I don't know if this will help, as I am not familier with ps5 of 4 but:
There's a suggestion of being able to adjust your eq on the ps5 here
https://www.playstation.com/en-ie/support/hardware/ps5-change-audio-output/#eq
They suggest
- Shooter
Sound that emphasises shooting and footsteps during gameplay.
Also there's a bass boat, but yt found turning bass down on pc helped allow other sounds through.
I would look at the apex eq settings on the sonic software, as a starting point to help fine tune the ps5 eq.
Another alternative is to process the ps5 sound through a laptop, but I still haven't got that far on the xbox yet.
DTS, that helped me on my xbox, is also an option on the ps5, but I cannot find out where or how yet.
Maby someone more versed with the ps5 can give me the benifit of their experience.
- Shooter
- @OldTreeCreeper I play on shooter. Definitely an improvement. Note you can only get the console EQ if you have a Sony headset.
@hayhor thank you for your reply. Do you know anything about the DTS setting on the PS4/5?
- @OldTreeCreeper No I have no idea on that. I have 3d audio enabled on my ps5.
