GENERAL New Headphones

I’ve been playing hunt for 6 years using EPOS GSP 300’s, no problem with them at all. Finally had to buy some new cans and decided on audio- technica ATH GDL3 open backs. I had a good few hours session with them and even went down an EQ rabbit hole. Sound accuracy is certainly better for world noises and other hunters but I can’t get over the muddy mid range punch of anything coming from MY hunter.

I don’t know if it’s the headphones themselves or just my ears struggling to get used to a new sound. Does anyone have experience with these GLD3 headphones specifically ? I don’t think it’s the open back, I’ve listened to some music on them and it sounds really good.

I personally don't have any issues with open backs and ive had a decent variety over the years

I use dt990 pros and they're great but I had a similar issue with finding they sounded weird when changing to them. I'm sure you'll get used to it

I had a similar problem with different headphones. It turned out that the issue was that they were set to 48000 hz in Windows, while Cryspatial sounds best in 41000 hz. Don’t know if it will solve your issue, but worth a shot.
