Sounds amazing AFTER tuning the sound

So. Let me get one thing out of the way. My head hurt. I'm 6'4" and have a big head so maybe that's why they're too tight for me. I'm hoping they "break in" and relax. Microphone. Mine sounds perfect. You need to do these things in Windows with yours set up the software I'm using. I have already configured my mic for my previous headphones (Creative Fatal1ty or whatever). These settings still work well with the mic for these headphones.Audio. At first I was very dissatisfied. Too quiet. The bass is too quiet. Exactly. So I started setting it up. I'm using Sonic Studio 3 and Realtek Audio Console. Search for Realtek Audio Console in the start menu. If you have Realtek drivers. I have a SupremeFX 1220a codec on an Asus B450-F Gaming II motherboard Sonic Studio 3 needs to be downloaded from the Microsoft store To do this you need to search google and find a link to the Microsoft store I can't find it just by browsing the MS store e search. See HERE why I chose the HS 50 over the HS60. I don't want to use the USB audio driver. I want to use what I have on the motherboard and using the USB socket doesn't use the built in audio chipset. Use the Realtek audio console to turn on the amplifier. Raise the gain level to the max. Adjust the rest of the settings via Sonic Studio 3 i.e. Equalizer, Treble Boost, Bass Boost etc. Set them to your liking. Be prepared to hurt your ears. Open Spotify. Choose your favorite song. Now your headphones will vibrate with bass. High frequencies can go beyond what is comfortable. Now they are TOO LOUD and you need to turn them off instead of playing everything at maximum volume and wanting more. Amazing sound. I'm not trying to sound high and powerful, but most "audiophiles" don't even get their settings right. Of course, if you don't know how to tinker with your amp settings, they will be worse for you in terms of volume and quality.
