Audio settings

[Toli Chamos]

I'm playing with the headphone settings and l came across the setting where l can increase the hz and bit. What does this mean and why wouldn't l just max it out?

Settings on what/where? You don't give close enough info to try even guess what you are talking about.

I'm talking about the setting you get when you left click the sound button in the bottom left. Then go to playback devices and then you go to your default device and click on that. Then on the top their will be an advanced bit. Just click on that and you should see what I'm talking about. I'm on windows 10 btw

“Hz” (aka Hertz) refers to audio frequencies, typically identified numerically (i.e. 45 Hz). Anything that purports to “increase Hz” is a tone control, like a bass or treble control. So try adjusting it and see of the sound changes (not to be confused with the volume itself). If not, then I have no idea what the setting is.

The settings you're looking at are called "sample rate" and "bit depth" and put simply they are properties of how your computer deals with audio. It is not best to max these settings out, but let them match to the source. CD's and most commercial mp3s are 44.1 khz sample rate and 16 bits. If set it to something different than the source your computer has to "resample" or do some math to make the source fit the output which will incur a loss of sound quality.

Some media players have the ability to change this setting for you to match whatever file they are playing at the moment.

How do l find out what to change my sennheiser g4me zeros to?

24 bit 48kHz should be fine. As most likely your sources won't have anything higher.

What are you generally using these headphones for? Music, movies, games?

You're conflating the sampling rate of files to the frequency response of your cans, which are two unrelated things. Sampling rate concerns how we encode analog signals into digital, and vice versa. Google Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem for more information on this topic.
