QuickLime Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 This area is for site related problems, you might want to try googling the brand of headphones you bought and see if this is a known problem ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SongHeart Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 i already tried and i saw some people ask simular problems about technical stuff like computers. i probably should have put this in another section though now that i think about it.

Harv0kz Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Just a hunch, try finding a Amp/Equalizer app and fiddle with the settings until vocals become clearer. I used to do something similar to my last pair.That, or your headphones are designed to make vocals less prominent. Or your headphones are bust.

starswirlthebearded Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 I have a few questions...1) What headphones are they?2) Were they working fine before?3) Did you mess with your audio settings in anyway?4) Is there anything ELSE wrong with the sound? (Highs being subdued, midrange being hollow, or bass being soft or muddy)5) Have you checked your jack or wire?Keep in mind that Vocals are usually from 1kHz to 3kHz. With the low end going to 300Hz and the high end going up to 3.5kHz. It shouldn't be possible for your headphones to just stop rendering those frequencies out of no where and your EQ on flat should render everything as your headphones are designed to do. Of course without having access to your specific headphones I can't know what is exactly wrong, if anything at all.Also, price is not always indicative of performance.

SongHeart Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 i'm not exactly sure wat they're called. i put the box in the recycling and the name isn't on them. but they have a microphone built into them if that tells yo anything. yes they were working this morningexept the mixer to turn all the volume down, no.some sound effects are muted or very sugtleyes but i don't see anything wrong.i took them off for a minute to go get a drink and when i came back they weren't working.

starswirlthebearded Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Do me a favour and take a few pictures of them. Side, top, inside of the cup (try to get the part where they connect with the headband), the boom mic and the inside of the band.There should be marking on them somewhere. I haven't seen a single pair of headphones that haven't. Usually the marking is pretty garish. (and I've seen a LOT of headphones, I'm talking hundreds, if you name a brand I've probably listened to it)And that does not sound normal at all. I'd be inclined to ask if it is USB or 3.5mm input. (if USB it could be a driver issue or an issue with the USB pins) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SongHeart Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 TheOnly way i could get a picture up is if I could do it from my tablet and I've already tried my tablets camera. I couldn't get the pic up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starswirlthebearded Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Knowledge of the make and model of the headphone would benefit greatly.Also knowing if it uses USB or standard 3.5mm as well. Because it could be just a driver issue, and uninstalling and reinstalling the driver for the headphones could fix the issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SongHeart Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 it's USB. i think it was made for phones and or tablets because of the way the microphone is built in. it also has a "answer" button for some reason so i'm guessing it's for something you can actually answer.and it's foldable if that helps..... they're not one of the super fancy ones made by a huge brand name i don't think. but they were still 99 bucks. i know what you said about performance but i'm jsut saying i can't replace them with the same kind because i'm broke.

starswirlthebearded Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 No... that really doesn't help. I'd try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers. If you still have an issue find out which manufacturer made them and send them in for a warranty repair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parker_Izing Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 If you got a 5.1, 7.1 whatever.1 sound ensemble, the earphone software could be pushing on them the audio from surround or the subwoffer, try to set it to use front speaker signal...
