New headphones sound distant? [Solved]

[Arithen]

My new computer is up and running with the GA-Z270x-Gaming K5 Motherboard. I have - what i believe to be - all the drivers installed correctly. However, my new headphones (Audio-Technica ATH-M50x Professional Headphones) sound slightly distant and I'm not sure how to fix it. Any suggestions?

That happened to me when I had the cord plugged in reverse. But I’m not sure if you have a separate cord for your headphones or not. If so try plugging it out and reverse it. 

 

Best of luck

How do you plug in a 1/8" jack in "reverse"?

Ahh, my headphones are 3.5mm on both ends. Sorry mate, can’t help

Hah, that was actually correct. We didn't have it in the wrong side, but the cord wasn't put into the actual headphones properly.
