So my test file is a FLAC file which plays at 1150kbps on foobar on my windows pc. I have a Gigabyte z97 on board audio, no sound card.
I put on the headphones today for the first time and they sounded terrible. I thought, there is no way m50s sound this bad. So I used Poweramp on my android phone, to play the same exact FLAC file, and it sounds amazing. So these cans sound amazing with my phone but on my high end pc they sound terrible...What?
I don't have the EQ turned on in foobar at all, but even with it on and some custom settings, still sounds terrible. The best way I can describe, the sound in both ears seems hollow, hard to hear, muffled kind of, and the sound isn't like a big room sound. On my pc, the sound from both sides sounds really "close together" but on my phone the sound is big, open and nice sounding.
I am not sure if it is some windows setting I have to mess with, like stereo or 5.1, or my Realtek audio manager? I don't know what to do. Can anyone help?
