I&#8217;m not a fan of the standard version, which simply narrows the dynamic range between sounds and ups the distortion a little to sound more like an old war tape. To me, it feels a little flat and washed out. Very Aggressive Listening, however, takes this and adds more power and distortion for a much, much more impactful and gritty feeling.<\/p>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery carousel-layout\">\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-wrap\" style=\"display:flex; flex-flow:row nowrap;\">\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-item\" style=\"flex: 0 0 auto;\"><span class=\"slidecount\">Image 1 of 2<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:2560px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"xGVHk2iEsHytCykidHa6dA\" name=\"battlefield 6 war tapes audio mix setting\" alt=\"Battlefield 6 War Tapes VAL: The audio mix options in the settings menu.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/battlefield-6s-very-aggressive-listening-audio-mode-sounded-like-a-joke-until-i-turned-it-on-and-now-i-cant-go-back.jpg\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: EA)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-item\" style=\"flex: 0 0 auto;\"><span class=\"slidecount\">Image 2 of 2<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:2560px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"sR7xR4sVvTpZukGRgJAayB\" name=\"battlefield 6 gameplay war tapes val\" alt=\"Battlefield 6 War Tapes VAL: A gameplay screenshot of a player looking at smoke clouds in the distance while a tank drives over rubble in the Siege of Cairo map.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/battlefield-6s-very-aggressive-listening-audio-mode-sounded-like-a-joke-until-i-turned-it-on-and-now-i-cant-go-back-1.jpg\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: EA)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>I put it to the test in the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/fps\/battlefield-6-open-beta-release-date\/\" target=\"_blank\">BF6 beta<\/a> by running to the C flag in Siege of Cairo\u2014which at the time was being bombarded by a tank, destroying buildings and causing chaos in general\u2014and flicked between the different audio mixes. Once I&#8217;d used War Tapes V.A.L. for a little bit, the default mix felt oddly boring and &#8220;gamey&#8221;, for lack of a better word.<\/p>\n<p>With a quality pair of headphones, Very Aggressive Listening offers perhaps the richest sounds I&#8217;ve heard in an FPS. You can almost feel the impact of a tank shell ripping apart a building, gunshots chipping away at walls, and casings hitting the ground. Honestly, it&#8217;s quite a lot to take in at first.<\/p>\n<p>The one downside is that, since it narrows the dynamic range of audio and overall just dials everything up to 11, it can be harder at times to pinpoint how close gunshots or footsteps are relative to you. You won&#8217;t necessarily find a competitive edge here.<\/p>\n<p>Given that it adds a lot of punch to everything you hear, I can also imagine some will find it grating (I&#8217;m surprised I don&#8217;t, since I&#8217;m not usually one for loud or bassy sounds), but I recommend you at least give it a listen. You can switch audio mixes at the flick of a switch at any time, including in the middle of a match, so you don&#8217;t have to torture your eyes for a full round if you don&#8217;t like it.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve no clue how well it will come through on video (probably not very well at all), but I&#8217;ve included two clips of what it&#8217;s like below:<\/p>\n<div class=\"jwplayer__widthsetter\">\n<div class=\"jwplayer__wrapper\">\n<div id=\"futr_botr_IBhxqDGM_NJExfM5n_div\" class=\"future__jwplayer\" data-player-id=\"NJExfM5n\" data-playlist-id=\"IBhxqDGM\">\n<div id=\"botr_IBhxqDGM_NJExfM5n_div\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The highlight of the first clip is, without a doubt, the tank barging in and the ensuing gunfire, which echoes throughout the area.
