Social recommendations and mentions

We have tracked the following product recommendations or mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you see what people think about Hesuvi and what they use it for.
  • How can people hear things I can't?
    Best method I've found so far is to use a few free programs in tandem: Equalizer APO as audio controller with LoudMax vst (to compress gunshots) Peace EQ (for headphone optimization and EQ fine tuning—crickets, rain hiss, etc), and HeSuVi with the included wavesnx preset, which will convert your stereo audio into virtualized 7.1 surround (remember to configure speakers in control panel for 7.1), which is the true...

  • Switched to Topping DX3 Pro+ with Sundara headphones need advice
    The easiest way to replicate that is Equalizer APO with HeSuVi. You can use whatever surround implementation works best for you and it can be worth to switch them out depending on the application. Source: over 3 years ago
  • Sound Blaster G1 + DT 990 pro (250ohm)
    Or you could buy a more powerful dongle like Tempotec Sonara II (2V RMS and an ESS chip) or even the Apple dongle in a local electronics store (I use a Samsung one with Sennheiser HD 700 and AKG K702 and get enough volume, even after EQ) and apply virtual surround completely in software (for free), using HeSuVi. Source: over 3 years ago
  • SteelSeries Sonar Virtual Audio Devices not working.
    Also 'virtual surround sound' headphones are snake oil. Don't pay extra for something you can get for free. https://sourceforge.net/projects/hesuvi/ No special hardware required. Source: over 3 years ago
  • Has anyone tried both sxfi headphone(s) and VZR model one or Audeze penrose or Steelseries pro
    If you really want, you can use a lot of them for free with stuff like HeSuVi. Which makes a lot of sense because again, they all suck in their own way and you kinda have to find the one that sucks the least for every application. Source: over 3 years ago
  • [Headset] Razer - Nari Essential Wireless THX Spatial Audio Gaming Headset for PC and PlayStation 4 - $34.99
    If you want THX spacial audio because you need better surround virtualization on PC, use HeSuVi! Might be more annoying than youre willing to set up, (takes a bit of software installation and messing with different surround sound virtualization options) but the results are great. I have an SHP9500 and they dont need it but they sound a hell of a lot better with dolby home theater v4 and some messing with the... Source: over 3 years ago
  • Veteran please stop aiming down your sights for a single moment
    There are other free virtual surround solutions like HeSuVi (7.1 on Sound control panel) which work great. Source: over 3 years ago
  • Hours of research and statistics vs. the shape of your ears
    These aren't perfect, but you shoul really try Hesuvi, Mesh2HRTF and the EAC Individualized HRTF Synthesis. Source: almost 4 years ago
  • Is true positional audio (HRTF, Binaural) still mostly dead in PC Gaming?
    If you have a motherboard that supports 7.1 audio you should absolutely try HeSuVi. It's relatively easy to set up and the result is so good that I'm shocked how bad games sound in regular stereo compared to using HeSuVi. It's night and day in terms of immersion, feels like you're truly in a game world. Been using it for over 2 years now and can't recommend it enough. Once you're all set up, make sure to use the...

  • This is for everyone wondering, why Dolby Atmos for Headphones isn't working anymore
    For those looking for an alternative. I've been using Hesuvi for years to supply my headphones with binaural surround. Source: almost 4 years ago
  • HD560S for gaming
    If your motherboard supports 5.1 or 7.1 channel audio google for ' HeSuVi with equalizer apo' or DL here ( https://sourceforge.net/projects/hesuvi/ ) set it up and thank me later. Keep in mind that expensive dedicated headphone dac/amps often only support stereo channel audio and therefore are not able to emulate the beautiful multichannel algorhythms like Dolby Atmos ( included for free in hesuvi). Source: almost 4 years ago
  • Sub 50 dollar iem recommendations!
    If you want a little more bass, get an equalizer. If you use Windows, EqualizerAPO is completely free. The easier to use EqualizerAPO user interface, Peace, is also completely free. And you can even get the EqualizerAPO HeSuVi add-on, which turns 7.1 virtualization into binaural sound, which is great for FPS games. Again, completely free. Source: about 4 years ago
  • Equalizer APO to Wavelet
    I have 700 frequencies because I am using HeSuVi. It is making the very narrow shifts you are talking about. Source: about 4 years ago
  • Problem with audio
    Download and install HeSuVi (it will install into Equalizer APO folder). Source: about 4 years ago
  • PC Gaming IEM recommendation.
    That said, the best way to up your game and get the most out of your IEMs for $25 is through some free software: EqualizerAPO for tuning the EQ to where footsteps stand out, Peace to make EquilizerAPO more usable, AutoEQ to get presets for most headphones and IEMs to the Harman target, and HeSuVi to get 7.1 surround sound virtualization via EqualizerAPO. HeSuVi can be used to pinpoint exactly which direction... Source: about 4 years ago
  • Most Comfortable PC Gaming Headset Under $200?
    I wouldn't worry about 'virtual' surround sound. If you get it for free great, but do not pay extra for it, it's just snakeoil and you can get it for free in any headphones with software. Source: about 4 years ago
  • Is spatial audio worth it?
    Well, as far as I know Dolby Atmos does the following. It will pass any surround information as "BED" and then process available Atmos specific data, which is normally represented through 7.1.x portion of the setup. DTS is similar in that. So if you have ability to pass Both information, yes they are awesome. If you can only manage "BED," I still think it's well worth it. But if you can only provide Stereo... Source: over 4 years ago
  • Sony WH-1000XM_'s
    Give Peace equaliser APO a shot (https://sourceforge.net/projects/peace-equalizer-apo-extension/) , works great on windows, has vastly more configuration options and you can even hook in things like Hesuvi virtual surround emulation (https://sourceforge.net/projects/hesuvi/). Source: over 4 years ago
  • H670m-itx Audio Issues
    By the way, if you haven't used HeSuVi before, give it a try. It'll make your headphones sound even better. It may need some tinkering to work, thou. I don't use HeSuVi for surround sound thingamajigs, but for regular stereo as it has profiles for my cans. Source: over 4 years ago
  • Nova Pro Wireless - "It's good but annoying" [Review]
    I use HeSuVi to add "proper" surround in Windows and then translate it to binaural stereo audio to avoid audio issues in games, and to use any kind of virtual surround algorithm I want to. And I've used several surround headsets like Razer's true 7.1 headset, along with testing those virtual ones in games. It's better to output true 7.1 surround and then manage the virtual surround yourself. Source: over 4 years ago
  • Best DAC for gaming to pair with my DT900 Pro X’s?
    For surround sound which might make listening footsteps eaiser, try HeSuVi. It's free, but I recommend looking up tutorials for it as it requires quite a bit of an installation if this is your first rodeo with the software. Https://sourceforge.net/projects/hesuvi/. Source: over 4 years ago
