Hello! I have a decent pair of Sennheiser Game Ones which are open backed and have about 50 ohms of Impedance. I tried them with my new and first PC build and I noticed that I needed to have the volume set to 100% on windows and in game/music applications for it to be loud enough. I did a bit of...
