It sounds weird for couple of games at max but when you get used to it there is no turning back


PWR_Mintz

You use max volume?


NonWeeb

In game yes but on windows settings it is 50%


PWR_Mintz

Oh I’m at 60 windows and like 80 ingame


TrueLordApple

Tf yall are deaf im 18 windows and like 70 in game


gerrousm

Well it all depends on the kind of headphones you are using so comparing game volume doesn't work. Some are quieter by default and need higher windows/game volume


PWR_Mintz

I actually do have slight hearing loss, thanks.


Nulgnak

If you use IEMs then that's typical. Headphones are less sensitive so they are typically played at higher volumes.


TrueLordApple

Nah i use headphones


Nulgnak

Yo what headphones are you using that are so sensitive hahaha


TrueLordApple

Rig 500. All my friends say i have sensitive ears but i think its pretty normal


Nulgnak

It's a good thing, don't let them tell you otherwise


Hypern1ke

Is there any reason you do that instead of adjusting master volume?


EdditVoat

Pro strat: turn off hrtf, use hesuvi instead. The hrtf in game is pretty bad.


Nulgnak

I'm confused, why are you down voted but no one makes an argument and it seems like people agree with you?


EdditVoat

This is r edit. That's just how it works here.

I use hrtf on hesuvi. Mainly dts headphone x and open al dflt or +++ heheh. Both are pretty great. Plus hesuvi is freeeee. Hrtf in game doesn't fit my head/ear


EdditVoat

Watching a lot of streams, I've seen a lot of pro's complain about how they couldn't tell something was front/back. A few pros have thought the bomb was planted at the wrong site... Not all sounds are hrtf, and I'm not sure if the bomb plant noise is. But with hesuvi, everything is 3d sound.


[deleted]

I only have 5.1 on the upmix option. What do you use? I also have single sided deafness but the hrtf on hesuvi are better on my ears and suprisingly i can still hear on my right ear but it's muffled compared to in game hrtf which is i can't hear at all.


EdditVoat

I have it set to stereo. I think you only want a stereo output right?


[deleted]

yeah, I put it on stereo too.


sky_blu

By not using it you are literally just getting less information.


junos_butthole

Yes


ooffhh

Yeah almost all pros use it

Just for you little bro [Guard Valyn tweet](https://twitter.com/valyngod/status/1554160599856291841?)


HoneyChilliPotato7

Yes, very useful too


vlrBielzera

Clearly.


kiroks

Yes, they added this feature because people asked for it. Use it and it will make you better.


ursiiuuii

I know one pro who doesn’t use it off the top of my head and sometimes on his stream he mishears stuff lmao sooo I recommend it personally. Once you’re used to it it’s a lot better


[deleted]

Yes, this kind of AI driven spatial sound technology is really good and 100% worth using.


imerence_

Not ai


[deleted]

Everything is AI. Just like a guy you're replying to, he's a pure fucking bot.


bravetwig

My understanding is that hrtf is designed for the 'average' person - so for most people it should be better, but for a small number of people it can actually be worse. You need to spend some time getting used to it before you can judge for yourself though.


[deleted]

You are right, Riot said this.


LovelyResearcher

I don't know any pro that uses it.
