Were your old headphones the AD700 or the AD700x?
The old purple and gold AD700's were my first real headphone. Loved em.
@AngrySquid270 I have the old Purple 700AD headphones. What makes them so great for footsteps is the entire mid-range is boosted by +5dB on the 700AD.
I recorded some footstep audio in Battlefield using Audacity, then ran it through a frequency spectrum analyzer using foobar2000. The sound frequency for footsteps start at 172Hz and continued to 1,000Hz. I was surprised they covered such a large frequency range and started at such a low frequency.
@RayD_O1 Thanks! I also noticed I can hear footsteps super clear if I set the DAC to 24-bit depth and 48,000Hz for audio playback while playing Battlefield 1. In-game settings set to stereo and large speakers.
I believe Battlefield audio files are 16-bit 48,000Hz, but I find setting the DAC to 24-bit 48,000Hz lets me really hear the footsteps for some reason. I tried 32-bit too but that made footsteps hard to hear. Same with 16-bit.
