I have a generic-shitty speakers in my monitor. Also I have a good headset, but I rarely use it. Yesterday I've been playing osu when I got a skype call, so I switched to the headset. After the conversation I decided that I'm too lazy to switch back and continued to play osu with the headset. WOW, it was like a bomb! Instantly it became clear to me that I never actually heard hitsounds before. I mean they was always there, but they didn't affect my play. I don't like loud sounds, so my volume level was always low, but my headset is set up for the skype to be loud and it makes a huge difference. Now I really can hear when my beat is off because hitsounds of missed circles make weird sound, which doesn't bother me before as I barely hear it.
So, I want to give a little hint for newbie players like me. Check you audio setup. Osu is a rhythm-based game and listening to music/hitsounds is very important.
