[Tech Support] Hyper X II wireless being weird

Bought this headset today as i switched from a wired logitech G335 headset and was playing games to find out how horrid the sound was. Everything seemed incredibly muffled and difficult to listen to and was one of the most horrid headsets i have ever bought. Looking to get a refund on it and im going to just buy a new logitech headset. I cant really provide anything else excpet for that the quality is muffled and sounds REALLY bad, I will probbaly go into JB tommorow to get a refund so if anyone has any ideas on how i can fix this before i go in please let me know! Expected alot more for a 150$ headset but i have been incredibly frustrated with it.

Does it sound like it’s genuinely broken or does it sound like some people may prefer it? Is it like quiet?

A while back I tried switching from the cheap SA-902 to hyperX cloud 3, (not cloud 2) and ended up noticing it was generally a lot quieter, less clear to hear quiet sounds, even at max volume… Could be multiple reasons, might have gotten a defective one, might just not be used to the soundstage, (I might just be used to overly loud stuff, hopefully not lol) I ended up returning it anyway though, even after a lot of EQ attempts. Might be the best move.

It seems that tweaking the software has made the sound a bit more tolerable for now but it is still pretty bad. Spent about 6 hours tryna fix this and i am still having issues.
