Improve in game sounds - how to

@hayhor No worries. I know how it can be.

I suspect users maybe chucking on cheap earphones or like their beats headphones etc or many probably just using their TV output etc.

And most headphones have quite wild and varying EQ response curves. I have no idea as to the quality of audio in "gaming headsets" but I don't expect them to be too great at least at the budget end.

And I'm not sure how attuned the average user is into identifying audio direction, and the way some people play this game gives me the idea that most aren't paying attention to anything.

But as an audio professional, I speak that that audio *should* be the same for everyone. And if it's not I would largely put that down to playback devices. (For example I have an enjoyable pair of commute headphones, bass is big and punchy, but I lose some specific Midrange elements quite significantly... if I was using these for Apex I can imagine some sound or another will disappear.

My first Sennheissers seriously lacked bass... my second pair had nice bass but a very narrow sound stage. My AKGs have slightly more bass than my first but a really nice sound stage.
All these factors could definitely impact listening for specific cues...

I'd definitely recommend headphones with a flat response curve and a wide sound stage. I used to use the PlayStation Mic with voice chat routed to the earpiece but audio routed to the headphones made physical muting real easy ha.
