Your audio is costing me games.

Am 35 years old, I've been enjoying audio in games for years and never have I came across a multiplayer game that cant even do that right. Cmon its 2020 get the basics right.

@NACHONOV0 Its a level playing field, so your thread title is incorrect.

@OldTreeCreeper Don't be finicky lmao 😛. The issue is a valid one and i applaud anybody voicing their grievances about it as it a really crappy issue to have in a game where audio is pivotal.

Funny I start seeing mention of Audio issues, right when I start looking at headsets, which I purchased several.
Razer Kraken Pro V2 - Audio has more mid range, less treble tone.
Razer Kraken 2019 - Audio has more treble and compressed tones.
HyperX Cloud 2 - Audio has more treble and compressed tones - 7.1 is really bad, and very compressed!
HyperX Alpha Pro - Audio has less treble and compressed tones, but it's more noticeable when compared to the Razer Kraken Pro V2
Steelseries arctis 7 - Somewhat a bit treble and compressed, but I assume a lot of people might not notice it.
Logitech G432 - Slight treble range and compressed
RESULTS!
After playing the game on 6 different headsets, I think I can say without a doubt I see an Audio Issue, where tones come across with more Treble & Compressed in Apex. I also played COD Warzone to make a comparison and I did not notice the Treble and Compressed tones in Warzone.
Apex clearly has audio issues that need upgrading for better quality!
P.S. After using all these headsets, I stuck with the HyperX Alpha Pro, they are nice, but it did take a little getting use to the slight treble and slight compression, but after playing several games, I don't notice it now.

  @xpl0its Yeah I've got a set of Razer kraken tournament edition, more than good to play games with and like you said the audio issues certainly ain't at our end.
  @OldTreeCreeper 😛 safe to say you're acclimated to not relying on sound as heavily then, but when you are being handicapped in such a way is aggravating to say the least lol.
  Congrats on the good game btw, always satisfying hehe!

@MandatoryIDtag I'm mostly deaf in one ear, with tinnitus in both thats exacerbated by loud noise, so no headphones or stereo sound for me. I know there's issues with the audio esp footsteps from behind. It was a 2 pronged finicky really 😛 P3DanTicK could be my second name.
But saying that, this evening I was running around WE with my Lstar laying down covering fire and blasting anything I saw, that I doubt my competitors could hear anything anyways! Let alone my companions 😃
I took one for the team 4 times in that match while mowing the opposition down, being resussed by my good companions each time. I got kill leader during the match and ended up with 6 kills. We won with 21 kills all told, it was visually very stimulating.🥳
