I've been thinking about how different audio priorities are in Rainbow Six Siege compared to more casual FPS games.

When you're holding an angle or trying to figure out where someone is pushing from, you probably don't need huge bass or cinematic sound. You need consistent information.

A few things seem especially important:

• Footsteps staying distinguishable during gunfire and explosions
• Clear left/right positioning when someone is moving nearby
• Being able to judge movement between floors
• Hearing subtle cues without turning the volume up too high
• Comfort during long ranked sessions

I've been researching FPS-focused IEMs like the kz starbit, which got me wondering how much dedicated gaming tuning really helps in Siege compared to a regular pair of well-tuned IEMs.

Obviously, the game's audio system and map knowledge matter too, especially for vertical sound.

For experienced Siege players, what's made the biggest difference in your setup: better IEMs, EQ adjustments, or simply learning how sound travels through the maps?

hey all. I have been playing siege off and on since 2020 but didn’t really get into it until recently. I am a hard support player and anchor site always. does anyone have any tips or ways to get to emerald? are there ways to find decent players that i can stack with? I solo queued to plat and am struggling to find some people to play with. lmk!

Returning player here (haven’t played Rainbow X update at all yet) and was wondering what audio settings you guys are using on PS5. Currently got the dynamic range on low but was wondering if I should also be using audio focus on top of that, and if so, which one?
