HyperX Cloud 2 Sound is "Flat"

[ShadowKiLL920]

Just today I got the HyperX Cloud 2 headset, as my Logitech G430 headset was dying out on me. And I'm quite disappointed with the sound quality compared to my older and cheaper headset. Everywhere I look I've seen people say that the bass is great. But when I listen to songs that have a decent bass (that vibrated my old headset), with this new headset, it sounds flat... There is little to no bass. And in game, explosions and other sounds aren't as impactful as they should be. I have tested it with the in line sound card that comes with the Cloud 2, and without it, and results were pretty much the same. I need help to add a little more bass so that the sound isnt so "flat." Is there some software where i can change the bass and treble levels like my old logitech headset had? The drivers have been updated to the latest version. Thank you for the help!!! It is much appreciated!!!

I dont know why anyone would tell you the Cloud IIs have bass, in fact its quite underwhelming.
I went from a G35 to my Cloud IIs, and at first was quite disappointed with the bass (other than that, great headset) Eventually I got used to it, and appreciate it when listening to non bassy music (sounds "cleaner") and in game audio is less cluttered with pointless noise. While this isnt ideal, its the reality of the Clouds.

AFAIK (from my own looking as well) there is no way to tune the Clouds.

bass isnt everything. when they say it has great bass doesnt necessarily mean its going to vibrate your brain and leave you in a pool of your own feces. good bass in my opinion is tight and accurate, punchy but not overly boomy/distorted, and doesnt drown out the rest of the music/sound effects. a "flat" sound signature/frequency response curve isn't a bad thing and is actually quite necessary for good sounding speakers and headphones.

P.S. - if you want to tune what they sound like and add more bass, just use an EQ in your sound card's software.

If you have used the Clouds you would know the bass isnt very good overall. I agree brain rattling bass is pointless, but with these you can hear the bass noises, but not feel it.
You know when something bassy is playing, but its not there.
I wouldnt really call the tuning flat, the bass is quite nice on a flat setting, this isnt.

Other than the bass I am extremely happy with my Cloud IIs. The comfort alone makes up for the lack of substantial bass. Light, memory foam, breathable cuffs, yet sturdy.
The mic can be a bit quiet, but its manageable (its almost touching my face).
