Game Sound Effects too Loud on Headphones

With headphones, I know hearing every little sound detail in a game is a huge advantage. However, after a game or two, the sound effects just feel so loud... Such as when bullet spraying, agent-specfic sound effects, and the rotating doors on the Lotus map 😒.

I've been contemplating on whether I should start playing on speakers, so I can actually play more games in a day without the pain of such loud sound effects.

I know some of you might think that my headphones' volume is too loud. I've tried lowering it before, which helps make sound effects less painful. However, once I try to lower the volume to decrease the loudness of sound effects, then the footstep sounds become non-existent lol.

Does anyone relate? Would like to know if anyone has any specific audio settings, headphone recommendations, or someone who's been having success with playing on speakers.

Thanks in advance y'all!
