PERFECT Razer Surround EQ and Audio settings (still great in 2020)

[chap]

Later edit: Still great in 2020

So i was playing around with the EQ, trying to find a good combination, and i think i found the perfect one. I'm using USB 7.1 Krakens.

These settings are great if you want a very clear and powerful sound:

- At the Audio tab enable Bass Boost and Voice Clarity.
- Set the Bass Boost to 80, leave the Presence Level in the middle and set the Volume Level somewhere around +15.

-Now the important part, the EQ tab
125Hz to +5
250Hz to +3
500Hz to -5
1kHz to -2
2kHz to +2
4kHz to +4
8kHz to +1
16kHz to +4

Should look like this: https://imgur.com/ggwvvoB

If you found the default preset as awful as I did, i reckon you'll like it :) Tell me what you think in the comments

Small footnote: If you feel like the "s" sounds are too loud or sharp, you can fix this by lowering the 4kHz slider in the EQ
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edit:

Here's an alternative. It's definitely not as good as the first one, but some may like it:

This EQ has even more bass, but you'll have to sacrifice some treble for it. This is as smooth as it can get before becoming all distorted. You may be able to tinker a bit more with this one on different Razer headsets

- Audio tab:
-Disable Bass Boost (adding bass boost to this EQ just makes the sound muffled)
-Set the Sound Normalization to +10 (reduces the treble just the right amount so you won't get that ear-scratching feeling)
-Voice Clarity: Better not to touch the Presence Level,it makes the sound more robotic in some cases; the Volume Level can be set by preference - it affects how loud the voices are without affecting the quality of the bass and mids (as long as kept inbetween -15 and +15)

- EQ:
125Hz to +8
250Hz to +5
500Hz to 0
1kHz to 0
2kHz to +5
4kHz to 0
8kHz to -2
16kHz to 0


Test songs:
g-eazy- leviathan (rap,pop,progressive)
glue-Casin (vaporwave,chill)
caro emerald-stuck (electroswing,jazz)

*I am by no means a professional or anything, just a guy baffled by the horrible sound quality you get from the neutral preset on Razer headsets. Any feedback is appreciated:)

This is a really old post that's getting necro'd, but I just wanna say - you should make this a guide instead of an off-topic post (if you haven't already).

125Hz -1, 250Hz -6, 500Hz 1, 1kHz 3, 2kHz 3, 4kHz 4, 8kHz 7, 16kHz 9. Razer Kraken 7.1 v2

20 to 1 you're truncating the waveforms at 125, 4 and 16. Of course you'd need a graphic EQ to be sure but those settings look waaaay too high to me.

You want the top of the waveform to be a natural curve. If you crank it up too high it's going to plateau and just be a flat top. For the effect that causes check the video below:

i used Razer only for the bass it gives, only yo hear music like i am in car, and thankfully i made it, some of my EQ and razer settings with a program called AIMP and with my headset HyperX Cloud 2
i manage to get as close as possible, not really expensive for the quality that my headset trasnfair
cuz i cant drive, and i dont have a car, and it is expensive, and dangrous, i did this
i love bass , i only wish razer have 30hz and 60hz in the EQ oh God please

I've got a good house system with a couple of 12-inch woofers, but I like to keep my base on level. Unless its something like RHCP or some grove the bass leads, bass is usually behind everything except the percussion.

When I have people over and someone tries to crank the bass so the roof is jumping, I slap their ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hands. I like whole spectrum music, as it was intended. Some of the best rhythms come from the upper and middle, not the lower.

Yeah, it's an actual rack stereo from the 90's. Member those?

[umututkutr]

Nice Setting.

[ʙᴜɴ.ᴇ]

I wouldnt trust razer with anything audio related.

[Iivana]

Thanks man, my old set broke down and i had Razer as backup. I think they sound so so bad. Whit these settings much better.

Does anyone have 14.1 Surround Sound for 3D Surround?
Or is this new tech too new for the market yet?

I am referring to the 7 Speakers around you, &
also the added 7 speakers on the Ceiling, which has
to do with DTS X 6: Neo & Dolby Atmos.
