I recently bought the Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO Studio Headphones (Ninja Black, Limited Edition) 250 ohm and the SoundBlasterX G6 dac/amp. I’m having trouble hearing directional audio such as footsteps, gunshots, etc. Should I be using stereo mode, 5.1, or 7.1? What equalizer and other effects(surround, crystallizer, bass, smart volume, dialog+) should I use? Dolby audio on full, normal or night? The games I play are mostly Call of Duty, Warzone, Rainbow Six Siege.
I tried scout mode and I didn’t like it. I also compared it to my previous headset the Logitech G Pro X and I feel like the Pro X had better footstep/directional audio, but I’m not sure... maybe just need to get used to the DT990’s.
