Weather I choose all devices or just the two versions of the bluetooth headset- stereo and hands-free AG audio-it still sounds bassy and muffled compared to when I connect the wires. So I tried some settings in Peace (can't understand most of them) but it still doesn't make any difference. After that the equalizer from Realtek disappeared. However, you can use one of the volume boosters for PC from the list below to improve the overall sound of your Windows 11/10 laptop and desktop while playing games or watching YouTube videos. I installed Equalizer APO and Peace GUI after searching online for solutions. Removing the wire and listening through bluetooth doesn't make the audio sound as open. Now I realized that the 'rock' equalizer of Realtek works only when the headset is connected by wire to the PC. This app isn't available for desktop OSes. It sounds great on Android phones and the Sony Connect app lets you try the additional features. A few days back we bought a Sony WH-1000XM3. Usually any wired headphone or 2.1 speaker sounds great with this.Ī while back I plugged in the TP-Link bluetooth USB dongle which lets me connect bluetooth earphones to the PC easily. From many years I have set the equalizer to rock since the default sound of Windows isn't great. In terms of sound quality, the WH-1000XM3 balance fun and safe. Ergonomics-wise, they’re very hard to fault, perhaps except for the touch controls, which can be annoying. My Windows 10 desktop setup has the Realtek audio driver. If found used or heavily discounted under the USD200 mark, the Sony WH-1000XM3 are a great deal for commuter and office use.
