    thats weird, is it like 1 is quiet and 2 is really loud and everything after is super loud ?

    I'm willing to bet that's just a downside of that incredibly cheap headset, unfortunately.

    You can use Equalizer APO with the PC equalizer GUI to change it.

    You should take a look into the device settings. Maybe there are some options to reduce the volume. If this doesn't help you can use something like Voicemeeter to reduce the audio level. But be warned: reducing the level digitally will decrease the bit depth (6 dB or a reduction of 50% will get rid of one bit of resolution). A cheap headset is most likely using a 16 bit DAC and a level of 1 or 2 (out of 100) in windows is already reducing the bit depth below 10 bits. That's probably why it sounds harsh.
     
    Last resort could be a modification where you put a voltage divider in line with the drivers. You will only need a few cents worth of resistors and a soldering iron.

    Try Volumouse, It has settings to adjust the increments plus you can use the mouse scrollwheel to adjust volume. I've been using it for years.

    Isn't a proper headset a necessity for studying in Covid times?

    Okay I'll try that, thanks !
    Update: Voice meter was simpler for me, i never ended up using this, but thanks for the suggestion!!
    Okay thanks!!
    Update: It's great, but I can't see the increments (It keeps showing 0% for all).
    That hacky end solution is lovely and i'd like to try it, being an electronics engineering student, but also if I mess my headset up I can't get a new one so I'll pass. Also, about the bit-depth, ig that is the problem with the harshness, I just wish it would detect these as headphones and be done with it.
    Update: Voicemeter is freaking great and solved it very nicely, thank you so much ^^ recommending this as the main solution.
    Yeah, students well, don't have parents' permission to spend a lot of money on "gaming" headsets when I'm supposed to study 😞
