Dolby Atmos on the Xbox One gives a better sense of surround with more accurate placement of sounds around you (especially with games with native Atmos support), but IMHO the front soundstage sounds more like straight stereo headphone use than what you get from the Dolby Headphone in the Astros. The Dolby Headphone in the Astros works really well at making things sound like they're coming from speakers in front of you and has a pretty good sense of surround sound. But because of this, one method may provide a better sense of surround sound for you because they each use slightly different HRTF models. so HRTF-based virtual surround tries to use a general model that works for MOST size/shape heads.

But since we all have different size/shape heads, our brains have all learned how to distinguish 3-D sound differently. Once they knew how the audio changed mathematically in all the different positions, they were able to trick your brain into perceiving sounds from different positions around you by altering the audio. sounds from behind are occluded by our earlobes, changes in pitch and phase, etc.). The quick and dirty explanation of HRTF is that they took a dummy head with mics in the ears and moved sounds around it to analyze what changes in the audio occur to make us perceive sound in 3 dimensions around us (i.e. They use a process called HRTF to create virtual surround. If you're using Sonic or Dolby Atmos, set it to one of those in the headset settings, then disable the Astros' processing by hitting the Dolby button on your headset.įYI all of these headsets are stereo headphones. If you're using the processing in the Astros, leave Headset audio on the console set to stereo, the optical out is set to bitstream and Dolby Digital, and make sure the Dolby symbol is lit up on the base station.
