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.

@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!
