Thanks for the video. Much appreciated. Could you please check it again to make sure it wasn't altered once it's back online. Also, I've noticed some players had no footstep audio at all even though they were level 10 or 12. Not sure what to make of that.
I found out about this channel recently as I was looking for good gaming headsets. I went with the nova pro wireless. I am not a person who goes deep into audio settings and stuff coz to me most of it sounds the same. But this channel has taught me so much about eq and stuff that it has actually enhanced my audio experience. I am not a fan of long UA-cam tutorials with alot of information but this channel has been an exception. I have watched whole videos just learlistehow to enhance my audio experience. This is definitely one of the best channels out there. Earned a Sub.....
@acseattle1975 I'm still using the MW3 eq (excluding S&D one) from one of the videos. BO6 has amazing sounds natively, so I use that for now. Although the footsteps do get muffled from distant explosions and gunfire which was not the case in MW3. But I haven't been able to figure out a custom EQ for BO6, so have been using that as of now.
Great work here. As a musician and a former military I love how comprehensive and clear are your explanation. I appreciate that you mention dynamics. Often people who speak about lack of realism forget that they DON'T WANT the actual volume of a firing gun blasting your ears😂😂😂. Subscribed!
I really hope you make a seperate video on the Maxwell. My questions would be: Dolby or no Dolby and how to use it with the audeze app, where to put the settings cus we have audeze eq, dolby eq and ingame eq also which setting to put on xbox when using what, for example headset format; there is stereo, windows, dolby and dts and stuff like allow passthrough in additional options. Also we have this new audio settings ingame. I got no plan what to combine and what not, some explenation on that would be awesome.
So on squiglink you can actually choose all of the presets that are inside of Audeze EQ app, but the only thing that is missing is the flat one. Correct me if I'm wrong but I am using it this way : - Audeze EQ app on "Audeze" preset - Selected on squiglink "Audeze Maxwell (Audeze preset)" with BO6 target and tuned accordingly - On dolby atmos change the settings as on the squiglink (BO6 Target), enable Dolby Atmos in your Windows Spatial Sound settings
I believe that’s wrong. I thought it was strange that there is no flat eq on squiglink as well only Audeze one. You should not double eq you maxwells from my understanding after watching gadgetrytechs other videos. Set the Audeze hq to flat..all zeros. The use squiglink to find your custom eq then manually insert those numbers into Dolby app on Xbox. That was my understanding anyways.
Great Vid. I usually route my game audio through my DAW and use an LA-2A with fairly aggressive settings, I used your EQ settings as a starting point and it worked out pretty well.
Very informative post. As a big gamer videos like this are appreciated. Just picked up a 800S and was wondering what amp/dac would you pair with it. Primarily game and listen to music. 80/20 Split. Budget 300 or less preference. Thank you
@GadgetryTech Your BO6 tuning is certainly better for my AUNE AR5000. Thank you so much. You don't mention the AR5000 in your favourite gaming headphones. Is the VZR Model One still favoured? I find, after using the AR5000, the weight of the VZR very straining. Thank you so much again. Much appreciated.
@@Simon_Hawkshaw I need to update the links in this video. I had family plans when the review was done so I wasn’t able to polish off the text the way I usually do. Will be updating!
Thank you so much! I hope people like the tune. It’s always a nervous feeling because people have so much different gear and preferences, I never know how it will be received
@@GadgetryTech don't be nervous brother you are The Man. I have DT770 pro x LE, did your tune in Sonar before, did it now and will test RN. I also shared my Sonar link with your name to SteelSeries. If you need any help testing or sharing I will be more then glad to help. IT guy here, not a total n00b hehe.
Thanks! Like the others been waiting on this , feel like I hear too much clutter with the Maxwell might have to retire them to a daily driver instead , look forward to the eq for Maxwells anyway
I watched the important parts and I appreciate the information you are giving out to all the audio newbies it's not easy as a beginner I know I been there.
Can't wait to try applying these settings to my Nova 3 headset. I've been running the settings from your original review of them, saved to the headset, for almost a year.
Thanks for this information, my guy. Yeah, I was having a hard time trying to get this right. Thanks for clarifying it. You're always busting out great soundcloud alpha knowledge. Been using the Basin IEM with sanheiser soundtdack with JDS LABS Atom Amp + Power.
Absolute legend as usual! Thanks so much for all the hard work! With the astro a50x/ gen 5, can you use the mobile app to load in EQs/ change EQs, or is it only possible on the desktop app??
You can use the mobile app as well. I just submitted my A50X preset to Logitech. Just waiting for them to publish it on community presets. I'll do my best to update the description or the pinned comment when I can share all the settings for A50X!
Wauw! This helped me so much!! I was trying to get the most out of my Kiwi Ears Orchestra Lite on my Xbox. En with the help of your video i found the perfect settings in the Dolby Atmos app. Thank you so much!!! This deserves a sub!
I have a Arctis Nova 5, so not exactly the same, but I use the Treyarch mix and it works well. Last year for MW3, Gadgetrytech suggested to use "Theater mode", so you can also try that, if Treyarch mix doesn't work correctly for you
I think in general, it should be the same or at least only a minor difference. If you watch an ArtIsWar video, you can see that he uses the same target from GadgetryTech.
@@GadgetryTech Ended up watching it right now. And I'm glad to know my ears weren't deceiving me ahah. When I had turned on HRTF I could BARELY hear a difference for footstep sounds, but hitmarkers, and gunshots almost sounded a bit dull, or muted (I don't really know how to explain it in better terms), so I just turned it off and went on my merry way. As usual, thanks for all the knowledge and info regarding game audio :)
Playing on XBox platform with Turtle Beach Stealth Pro, matching your target EQ, should we disable Atmos or any sound enhancement to get the best footstep setup? Will you publish a complete et setup for BO6 for this popular headset? Thanks and keep up the good work.
This video (and links) have been massively useful for me Joe - have tweaked a few headsets now to match the target. Was then looking through the database and looked at my Aune AR5000. The FR seemed great as stock. End result is, despite tweaking my MMX330, Atlas Air, and A-spire Wireless amongst others, I've settled on using the Aune with no Eq at all and they are the best of the bund to my ears lol
This is the first time I've played with audio configuration, and I loved your guide. It was simple and straight to the point, with some explanations of how everything works. I'll say that I'm still confused about whether I should keep using the APO Equalizer versus Dolby Atmos's equalizer, but I'll say the footsteps sound is much clearer now than before with my Pulse 3D headset (I use it on PC).
Equalizer APO with PEACE is more effective, due to parametric EQ, which allows you to fine tune every setting you want. Atmos is far simpler, and if your headset/headphone does not need a lot of adjustment, can be an easy way to adjust.
Very good video as always =) One question. I got the JBL 910X and done the EQs into the Dolby EQ based on the BO6 EQ. But now ist the question which Ingame Settings should i use? Home Theater? Headset? Can you help out?
Is there a way to "convert" the EQ from Squiglink so i can set up the same EQ with the Astro Command Center? I am using the A50 Gen4 and tbh I am confused what I should do. Frequency and Gain are a no brainer but what is Q for, where can i set the Auto EQ range and what should i put in by the 3 xCF´s in the command center?
Thanks for the hard work as always! Just to be clear, my understanding is that running multiple EQs simultaneously (e.g., running a custom EQ preset on my Audeze Maxwell headset whilst also running a custom EQ on the Dolby Atmos app through my Xbox) is never a good idea. However, what qualifies as a custom EQ on the Dolby Atmos app? Obviously the custom 10 band adjustments are EQs, but what about the Atmos modes like Game, Movie, etc.? Could I use a custom EQ on my Maxwell headset and also use Dolby Atmos, and if so, should I set the Atmos app to Game mode (with performance mode on or off), or should I set the Atmos app to a flat, unaltered custom EQ (with surround virtualizer on or off)? Apologies for the novel, but I can’t seem to find definitive answers for this anywhere.
A good video, could you just write or show how the Maxwell headphones for PS should look like in the EQ app and in the footsteps game? Maxwell has his preset footsteps, and COD is also available for download on the website, but I think it's outdated. Thx a lot
Im on Xbox with Dolby atmos App and a steelseries Nova pro Wireless. What are your recommondations on the App and on the dec eq? Do i have to set one of those eqs on flat? There are presets in the Nova pro as well. Do i use them? I want to hear footsteps but dont want to loose immersiveness too
I'm hoping to find this answer as well! I manually input the frequencies into the Dac and I have dolby digital as well... what are the best presets? I'll gladly donate whatever amount you need to help us less technical dummies 😂
Speaking as an Astro Mixamp Gen 3/4 owner on Xbox for my Truthear Zero Reds, you can even use it's app to tune the EQ even more to a limited extent, provided you have an Optical port source plugged in.
I love all the information you provide. Thank you for all the work you put in to share with us. Can you provide me the EQ settings for the Turtle Beach Stealth Pro.
Thank you so much for all your hard work! For Xbox, would you recommend turning on Dolby Atmos and/or surround virtualizer and/or competitive mode *in addition* to the custom headset EQ? Or just the latter?
Hi, this is my first time here! I have a quick question after watching the video: where’s the best place to start with audio settings in Windows? I usually switch between DTS and Dolby depending on the game and have loudness equalization enabled in the Windows Control Panel. I’m using Sennheiser HD660S2 headphones with AutoEQ using Oratory1990’s EQ settings. I’m not super knowledgeable beyond this setup, but I’m really interested in how the right audio settings in an OS or game can create a more immersive experience.
Took my time to fiddle with the frequencies for the nova pro wireless. Even though you cant be perfect through dolby atmos, the results have been astounding. Once if really studied the sound queues i have been getting the drop on everybody. Amazing. Much appreciated!
@ for nova pro wireless? Sure here ya go 32hz= -8. 64hz= 0 125hz= -3. 250hz= 0. 500hz= 2 1000hz= 0 2000hz= -1 4000hz = 6 8000hz= -3. 16000= -2. Really weird looking but then again so is the default nova settings (apparently). Within a couple games i really was able to tune into footsteps so much better.
@@mr.g.8943I’m assuming that’s the eq for Dolby and not on the DAC engine for the headset itself (the custom eq). For the setup with Dolby, do you have one on flats and the other eq? Just a little confused how to set it up
should i turn loudness equalization off? I notice when i do the frequency audio test if i turn on down the loudness equalization automatically raises the level.
I tried the squig link auto eq for the nova pro wireless for BO6. But the eq it gives isn't good. The footsteps are not at all audible. The Gt Tune for MW3 still works amazing for BO6. But I am hoping for a sonar tutorial for BO6 in the future as well.
interesting that 110-120hz peak is gonzo. I guess because the footsteps sound a lot different in this game than MWII/MWIII...? What is the general freq rang of footsteps in BO6. been having a really hard time hearing the footsteps in general, especially seperating them from the other sounds, gunfire etc. on my steelseries nova 7s.
Awesome vid - if you could do a followup vid / drop some screenshot images of the actual headphone apps 10 band eq settings you recommend similar to what you did last year with MW3 that would be ace - was really helpful to getting it right where there is confusion doing it manually using Q1.41 and hoping you get the curve right :D Using maxwell here. What i landed on: 32hz -5db, 64hz -1db, 125hz +5db, 250hz +1db, 500hz -1db, 1khz +1db, 2khz +3db, 4khz -1db, 8khz +2db, 16khz 0db
@@Cojack1899 just aduzee - - dolby for me is all turned off. Ended up reducing all the high freq as the treble on tryarch mix is really piercing my ears in this game. i dunno mw3 with theatre mix was on point, blackops6 not so much. hoping we get the dbs recommended soon here in a comment or something. Please note did mine with WCfreeze earpad curve.
Just realised my Tygr 300r seem to be tuned pretty much perfectly for BO6 without any tweaking - fired up the game and they do seem to be my favourite headphone/headset I've tired with this game so far :)
Brilliant explanation, my only wish is that for xbox in particular they would allow apps like Dolby to be adjusted whilst I was playing/in game as a test mode. Allowing overlay.
@@GadgetryTech nice one, can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it! As a PS5 user, I’m slightly disappointed in it, as before purchasing it, they had Google play and Apple App Store logos on the website, which let me to believe I can tweak settings on G8 via my phone, but this is not the case. They have removed the logos since then from their website. Despite mixing 2 sources being a cool feature, G8 feels like a bit of a downgrade compared to G6, since I can’t enable/disable sidetone or adjust its volume without hooking the device to my PC. Also, there is a bug where to enable SBX after a cold boot, you gotta cycle through SBX and scout mode once, and only on the second cycle my onboard EQ preset kicks in. For example, after the G8 turns on, i gotta cycle off->SBX->Scout Mode->off->SBX, only now SBX actually turns on.
Would def need to work on one for an Astro a40 tr for myself. however I'm noticing I cant change much inbetween8k to 15k since my 8k is ok but my8.2-14.5k are out of wack. is it possible to adjust Dolby atmos and the do a separate adjustment on astro's mix amp profile to target the problem ranges?

However, what qualifies as a custom EQ on the Dolby Atmos app? Obviously the custom 10 band adjustments are EQs, but what about the Atmos modes like Game, Movie, etc.? Could I use a custom EQ on my Maxwell headset and also use Dolby Atmos, and if so, should I set the Atmos app to Game mode (with performance mode on or off), or should I set the Atmos app to a flat, unaltered custom EQ (with surround virtualizer on or off)? Apologies for the novel, but I can’t seem to find definitive answers for this anywhere.
Many thanks. Been waiting for this. Great explanations
Glad it was helpful!
Like to see an advanced EQ setting for Delta Force. Because this game is audio first. Thank you very much for your passion and Engagement!
A good video, could you just write or show how the Maxwell headphones for PS should look like in the EQ app and in the footsteps game? Maxwell has his preset footsteps, and COD is also available for download on the website, but I think it's outdated. Thx a lot
Need this for maxwell sswell
Nice video, thanks man.
Just the kind of advice I was looking for.
this video and link are insane, thank u so much
I got lost. No idea what should I put on my Nova Pro Wireless Game DAC for console
Same!
Same question here
Goat! I was looking forward to this vid
@@m0n3ybadger71 I hope it helps! I’m taking a slightly different approach with this one.
@@GadgetryTech Loved it. When I am entering in my profile on Sonar, I do each entry as Peaking, right?

Im on Xbox with Dolby atmos App and a steelseries Nova pro Wireless.
What are your recommondations on the App and on the dec eq?
Do i have to set one of those eqs on flat?
There are presets in the Nova pro as well. Do i use them? I want to hear footsteps but dont want to loose immersiveness too
I'm hoping to find this answer as well! I manually input the frequencies into the Dac and I have dolby digital as well... what are the best presets? I'll gladly donate whatever amount you need to help us less technical dummies 😂
I tried this and loving it so far
That's what I like to hear!
Absolutely brilliant informative video thank you👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Would you recommend the Loudness Equalization windows setting with any of the mixes?
Speaking as an Astro Mixamp Gen 3/4 owner on Xbox for my Truthear Zero Reds, you can even use it's app to tune the EQ even more to a limited extent, provided you have an Optical port source plugged in.
I love all the information you provide. Thank you for all the work you put in to share with us. Can you provide me the EQ settings for the Turtle Beach Stealth Pro.
X2
Defo needed
Please
Big thanks for the Sonar link!!!!
Thank you so much for all your hard work! For Xbox, would you recommend turning on Dolby Atmos and/or surround virtualizer and/or competitive mode *in addition* to the custom headset EQ? Or just the latter?
Earned your sub! Thank you so much!
What’s the best settings for the turtle beach stealth pro?
Any chance you are able to upload your eq directly to sonar so I can set it as a preset
Would love a target profile for Counter-Strike, but even without it this is a great place to start from. Thanks!
Wondering if you could show a EQ for the Nova Pro wireless? And what EQ to use with Dolby Atmos as well?
Same question here
if u have questions im happy to awnser them u can ask them in my video :)
Hi, this is my first time here! I have a quick question after watching the video: where’s the best place to start with audio settings in Windows? I usually switch between DTS and Dolby depending on the game and have loudness equalization enabled in the Windows Control Panel. I’m using Sennheiser HD660S2 headphones with AutoEQ using Oratory1990’s EQ settings. I’m not super knowledgeable beyond this setup, but I’m really interested in how the right audio settings in an OS or game can create a more immersive experience.
can you please add targets to Beyerdynamic DT990 pro?
Took my time to fiddle with the frequencies for the nova pro wireless. Even though you cant be perfect through dolby atmos, the results have been astounding. Once if really studied the sound queues i have been getting the drop on everybody. Amazing. Much appreciated!
Can you share the eq’s you have
@ for nova pro wireless? Sure here ya go 32hz= -8. 64hz= 0 125hz= -3. 250hz= 0. 500hz= 2 1000hz= 0 2000hz= -1 4000hz = 6 8000hz= -3. 16000= -2. Really weird looking but then again so is the default nova settings (apparently). Within a couple games i really was able to tune into footsteps so much better.
@ thank you so much brother, I wish you a great night/day !!
@@mr.g.8943are these the settings we enter into Dolby Atmos
@@mr.g.8943I’m assuming that’s the eq for Dolby and not on the DAC engine for the headset itself (the custom eq). For the setup with Dolby, do you have one on flats and the other eq? Just a little confused how to set it up
Hey,
do you also have the eq settings for the audeze maxwell, like you had for warzone?
Thanks a lot!
should i turn loudness equalization off? I notice when i do the frequency audio test if i turn on down the loudness equalization automatically raises the level.
the video is DOPE .
Thanks!!
I tried the squig link auto eq for the nova pro wireless for BO6. But the eq it gives isn't good. The footsteps are not at all audible. The Gt Tune for MW3 still works amazing for BO6. But I am hoping for a sonar tutorial for BO6 in the future as well.
very very good, thank you!
Supermix 4 sounds great!!! Thank you sir.
Haha nice! It’s one of the ones I tested with too. I agree
interesting that 110-120hz peak is gonzo. I guess because the footsteps sound a lot different in this game than MWII/MWIII...? What is the general freq rang of footsteps in BO6. been having a really hard time hearing the footsteps in general, especially seperating them from the other sounds, gunfire etc. on my steelseries nova 7s.
Awesome vid - if you could do a followup vid / drop some screenshot images of the actual headphone apps 10 band eq settings you recommend similar to what you did last year with MW3 that would be ace - was really helpful to getting it right where there is confusion doing it manually using Q1.41 and hoping you get the curve right :D Using maxwell here.
What i landed on:
32hz -5db, 64hz -1db, 125hz +5db, 250hz +1db, 500hz -1db, 1khz +1db, 2khz +3db, 4khz -1db, 8khz +2db, 16khz 0db
do you use this eq settings in dolby or the audeze app?
@@Cojack1899 just aduzee - - dolby for me is all turned off. Ended up reducing all the high freq as the treble on tryarch mix is really piercing my ears in this game. i dunno mw3 with theatre mix was on point, blackops6 not so much. hoping we get the dbs recommended soon here in a comment or something. Please note did mine with WCfreeze earpad curve.
Great video, should we combine these eq's with the loudness eq in windows settings?
can you do one for steelseries sonar? i have the arctic nova pros wireless
Would Astro's Mixamp EQ conflict with Peace EQ? Should Astro's Mixamp EQ be set Flat so that applying Peace EQ is accurate?
Request for Audeze Maxwell!
Any tips for wireless arctis x on the series x? I already have Dolby atmos through my Xbox for headset but don’t know how to set eq
I have been looking for the best setting for the artis nova pro on Dolby atmos
Same@@HighIvan
Same question here 🤔
Just realised my Tygr 300r seem to be tuned pretty much perfectly for BO6 without any tweaking - fired up the game and they do seem to be my favourite headphone/headset I've tired with this game so far :)
Took a bit to try to closely follow that line but imo it paid off
Brilliant explanation, my only wish is that for xbox in particular they would allow apps like Dolby to be adjusted whilst I was playing/in game as a test mode. Allowing overlay.
Can you update this? WZ integration today and footsteps are practically nonexistent
No Arctis 9x, is 7x close enough please ?
Very interesting watch! A quick question: are you planning on reviewing G8?
The other big video I'm waiting for LOL
Yup! Just got it in. Keep an eye out!
@@GadgetryTech nice one, can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it!
As a PS5 user, I’m slightly disappointed in it, as before purchasing it, they had Google play and Apple App Store logos on the website, which let me to believe I can tweak settings on G8 via my phone, but this is not the case. They have removed the logos since then from their website.
Despite mixing 2 sources being a cool feature, G8 feels like a bit of a downgrade compared to G6, since I can’t enable/disable sidetone or adjust its volume without hooking the device to my PC.
Also, there is a bug where to enable SBX after a cold boot, you gotta cycle through SBX and scout mode once, and only on the second cycle my onboard EQ preset kicks in. For example, after the G8 turns on, i gotta cycle off->SBX->Scout Mode->off->SBX, only now SBX actually turns on.
What settings can I use for the attic nova pro on Dolby atmos?
Following
Would def need to work on one for an Astro a40 tr for myself. however I'm noticing I cant change much inbetween8k to 15k since my 8k is ok but my8.2-14.5k are out of wack. is it possible to adjust Dolby atmos and the do a separate adjustment on astro's mix amp profile to target the problem ranges?
