From footsteps to gunshots, sounds are more clear and precise, allowing me to pinpoint exactly where someone is engaging from. When I play Fortnite, the DAC makes it a completely different experience-sounds are individualized for me when I use the 'Smiley' preset. A low Dynamic Range Compression allows me to filter out those 'peaks' in volume which gives me a nice and even sound in my ears throughout my streaming sessions. By tweaking the EQ manually, I notice that the sounds are a bit more crisp and warm. I have set the preset to 'Music' as this gives me a good punchy bass and immersion feel at the FPS games I play. Loving this headset and the control base that comes with it is amazing providing sound above my expectations! ToastmanGames:

When gaming with games such as Fortnite, MMO's, and single player games that have sound play an important role, I wanted to make sure I customized my settings so I can hear the slightest movement in game.

Then I found the custom equalizer and my goodness did the sound pour through once I set my custom setting to my liking! I am a fan of good mids, little above average bass boosting and solid mids. I said to myself 'I dont seem to hear a difference', plus the fact that the Arctis 7 were wireless I needed a lot of convincing in the sound department to make me fully switch.

When I first unboxed and set up my SteelSeries Arctis Pro + GameDAC I was instantly comparing it to my Arctis 7's in sound quality. The settings I’ve screenshotted here have the compression just right for me so it doesn’t come out too muddy. I also have the compression on low so footsteps are a bit louder and explosions are a bit softer. I basically use the “Immersion” preset but tweaked slightly to bring out a little more in Rainbow Six: Siege.
