There is a pretty good deal atm on this headset and been thinking about getting my first wireless headset for a while. Am curious about how it runs on Linux, as I’ve seen some controversy on this headset on website that shall not be named, but that was 3 years ago now. I dont expect to be running their propriety software for equalizing sound - but would like to know if the headset performs as it should out of the box and if the additional sound system works well. If anyone has any experience with this i’d be more than happy to hear about it. Other headset recommendations welcome to (wireless though) :)

    Regarding the third party software on linux, I’m unsure. When im using my linux boot i just use the equalizer built into the dac itself and mimic what i figured out using third party on windows.

    I imagine there’s third party that would interface with it since its just like any other audio software. Something like PulseAudio that sits on top of ALSA. That said id recommend doing your own research as always with your flavor of linux/setup.

      Oh I was saying the opposite: what’s the third party software you’re using on Windows? I thought originally you were stating you were using third party on Linux.

        Oh! My bad. EqualizerAPO / SourceForge is what i used briefly. I tried a few others but their names escape me.

        Was nice being able to control everything more fluidly and import presets from various audiophile testing websites to figure out what sounded best to “me”.

        Years of listening to Metal at ‘way too loud’ on the dial has made my ears uh ‘unique’. So i cant just drop in stuff and it sound immediately perfect. Gotta tweak it a smidge.
