While the default ‘Game’ preset is perfectly fine, the Edifier G5 Max can be enhanced by heading into the EQ and enabling some features like THX Spatial audio if you’re on PC. For media and music, I found the ‘Music’ preset was more than serviceable, but you can also change the stock settings to your liking.
