THIS.
I have the first gen 512gig and the new OLED Limited Edition side by side - when I compare them using Spotify the first gen Deck sounds WAY better.
Like, no question. The original Deck speakers are better on a level of magnitude. There’s absolutely no bass response on the OLED LE speakers, and they feel nearly 30-40% quieter.
Not sure if Valve can fix that in an update but it is pretty disappointing when playing a game with explosions or race car sounds.
I’ve been getting much more back into the sci-fi racer game Distance - the dark neon cyber theme looks incredible and the game runs smooth 90hz at max graphics
