I need to turn off HRTF in game before I try any of those options, right?

I still have doubts about how best can I upgrade my sound under $80 budget. Currently, I have the Philips SHP9500 and I play almost only PUBG on PC, but maintaining the possibility to play on console in the future will be a bonus. The HRTF in PUBG does gives directional/surround(ish) sound but...

Does anybody has opinion on the Sound BlasterX H6? looking for a good headphones in the $60-$70 range

Which mixamp version should I get? the new one is way too expensive and I read that some of the older ones have problem, but I am not sure which one.

Can't seem to find a cheap one that good for headphones

Is there another way, with a mixer or something, that I can achieve the functionality of controlling game and chat volume separately?

I play on PS4, so I am not sure if there is hrtf or not. About Apex, I don't know for sure, but maybe the headphones I have, Philips SHP9500 with open backs and good sound stage help with the directional audio.

I never said VSS doesn't work, and I posted the video because he explained that there are more ways to make the listener to hear directional/"surround" sounds. I am sure you guys know more about all that. I didn't say stereo sounds better for directionality, only the sound itself. But, I said...

In the end of the day, I hear exactly where a sound is coming from in my DSS in both modes, but with bypass it sounds better in PUBG and in Apex Legends.

No, what I meant is more like saying there are more than one way of showing you a 3d movie. What did he say that was uninformed? Maybe it depends on a combo of things, like the game itself, and it sounds options, obviously the VSS implementation and maybe its just individual preference. I...

I can't talk about all VSS as I only have experience with one: Turtle Beach DSS and I use the Philips SHP9500. I believe that in some games it sounds better than others, but in all games the stereo sounds better and more clear. But there are two speakers on a headphone in either ways, stereo...

I can chat, I plug a usb sound card to the DSS, but I can't control the chat volume because the analog can not work while the optical is connected. So, I think someone should edit this diagram, so no one else will be misguided as I did. Maybe in the DSS 2 it works.

I found the DSS manual and it says there that it can't play the digital and analog input at the same time. I am not sure who created the above diagram, but if you see this please explain how you got this to work

Hi, I got the DSS but the analog is not working (don't hear party chat). I follow the directions in this diagram: I tried with dolby bypass on and didn't work either. The 3.5mm cable I used work, I connect my headphones to my computer I also tried connecting my phone but didn't hear...

oh right :face_palm::zipper_mouth:
