1) Keep the chain clean (nothing to disable)

The MMX 300 Pro has no vendor EQ software, which is an advantage: there is nothing stacked on top of your tuning. Keep it that way:

  • Stereo output, no surround processing anywhere in Windows, your DAC/amp software, or voice apps.
  • No extra EQ layers: if any app in the chain offers EQ, leave it flat. DoveSonicEQ is the one tuner.
  • Attach Equalizer APO to the exact playback device you listen through, with DoveSonicEQ's managed include in place.

2) Load the MMX 300 Pro tuned CS2 preset

In DoveSonicEQ, open Headphone-Tuned Game EQs, pick beyerdynamic MMX 300 Pro, and choose the Counter-Strike 2 mix. This model carries a single tuned version alongside the untuned default: load the tuned one, then flip it against Bypass right away. Utility noise should lean out while footstep and reload detail step forward.

3) Lift steps, save, done

  • Set Improved Loudness Equalization near 48-50% with Peak Control on; add Volume Lock only if spikes still bother you. Keep boosts gentle: this headphone already resolves detail well.
  • If your own shots bury steps, add Lower Own Gunfire near 50% strength. Guide: lower your own gunfire volume.
  • Bypass compare, then save it as one preset per game.

FAQ

There is only one tuned version, no V2. Is that right?

Yes. This model carries a single tuned CS2 mix plus the untuned default. Load the tuned one; the Bypass flip tells you everything else.

Do I need an amp or DAC EQ for footsteps?

No extra EQ anywhere. Keep amp/DAC processing flat or off and let the tuned preset plus gentle loudness do the work.
