This video is all about EQ and improving the sound of XDefiant! The sound quality isn't bad, but I made this new EQ target to make the game sounds as good as possible regardless of which audio product you own. In this video, I explain how to improve the sound to help hear footsteps better, and pin point audio cues with ease. No universal EQ is the proper solution, and after watching this, you'll understand why. Feedback is always welcome!
