new person, new headphones!

Submitted by Viking_fairy t3_10u7wmb in headphones

just got these, most expensive pair of headphones I've bought. I love in ears, and was looking specifically for good Bluetooth. know it's a good brand and so far, excellent quality. only issue I'm running into is optimizing eq, I think. it sounds perfect, but don't feel the vibration hard enough. prolly a bass balance issue.... yeay....I've used the mic in call without issue, but haven't thoroughly tested it yet... or stress tested in general....

anygoo, I like them so far, but just dropped 80 bucks- so I'd love some "expert" opinion. haha.

oh, one more thing if i could, I want a good global eq.... got my browser stuff, but any global control seems limited to "grandma who accidentally found these settings". windows 10, obviously.

plox n tanks.

No, more likely you having to adjust that not all audio is about feeling bass hard enough

yea, I was wondering about that... I've been using cheapos for so many years that I think I just got used to how they tune it to compensate for shit quality...

Just give it time. I remember when I bought my first „good“ headphone, my first thought was „oh god where is all the bass, these sound so thin“. But after a week I loved them and my previous headphones sounded like a bloated mess to me.

Your brain will adjust to your new headphones bass quantity. If you are still unsatisfied after one week, try a moderate (2-3db) bass increase.

For the EQ for win 10, try out Equalizer APO https://sourceforge.net/projects/equalizerapo/

I would recommend downloading the Peace GUI for Equalizer APO to more easily use the app https://sourceforge.net/projects/peace-equalizer-apo-extension/

Here's a quick tutorial on the basics of EQ https://youtu.be/PsijHAVLbuY

Happy Trails!

careful with the cables, they're real low quality from what I remember. Beyer replaced my headphones like 4 times.
