Windows 10: Why does microphone quality sound better when listening from Speakers Properties?

I don't really know how to describe it, but basically the microphone sounds way better when listening from the Speakers Properties in the sound settings.

When I go in the Microphone Properties and tick "Listen to this device" it sounds bad

All apps that I use like Discord and Skype make the microphone sound as if its a phone mic, muffled and tinny.

Microphone that I'm using is a Superlux E205U

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

In order to help you with the appropriate troubleshooting steps, please reply with the following details:

• When you say that, “you receive feedback between the microphone and the speaker” are you referring to the voice that repeats when you say something on the Microphone?
  
• Are you using an inbuilt microphone or an external microphone? If you are using an external microphone, please help us with the make and model of the microphone.
  
• Which version of Windows is installed on the computer currently? To check type:
  winver in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit Enter.
  

If you want to listen to the things on your headphone that you say on the Microphone you can try changing the Listen to this device option for the Microphone that you are using and see if that helps. Please follow the steps mentioned below to change
the settings.

Microphone Sound Quality

Hello, xodjbgxo,

This tutorial lists several steps on improving sound quality.

Sound Quality

One thing that sticks out from looking at your "My Computer" specs. You list "ONBOARD 6 CHANNEL (5.1) HIGH DEF AUDIO (AS STANDARD)" which suggests you do not have the correct sound hardware driver. Your motherboard has Realtek sound and the first step is to install the Realtek sound drivers. My ASUS also came with Sonic Studio 2 which is a sound enhancement package. Check the ASUS install disc to see if you have something similar.

May not be a speaker problem.
