I just got my HyperX Clouds today and they are pretty good but when I started playing JC3 and CS:GO I noticed the sound was kinda tinny and lacked a little bass, I'm not sure if they are supposed to sound like that and I'm just not used to that, or my motherboard can power it fully or what, I want to get the best out of these.

Thanks!

Is it only in game? or in windows as well?

 

Does the headset come with any virtual surround sound software? as that can make it sound a bit tinny and distant.

There's no software that comes with it and it's in windows too but to a less noticeable extent

I tried the Bass boost but for some reason it was called bass management, and it helped a little bit but its still kinda tinny and almost echoey

Try reinstalling your audio driver (likely realtek), and see if that helps.

I tried this and played some games for a while and it didn't help at all. :( Maybe my motherboard can't power them seeing as they are 60 Ohms (MSI Z97I AC)

60 ohms should not be too high for a motherboard to power. Most reasonably priced headphones these days are between 30 and 60 ohms, so motherboards should be able to drive them.

 

Have you tried testing them on a phone or laptop?
