Dolby Access

I love that you get a surround sound like atmosphere with any headset without having to by the pricey $350 headsets just to enjoy surround sound and even more so with the sound system part of the app. The rich sounds off everything around you can be heard so clearly its amazing. I'm a gamer, and with the dolby atmos app it definitely adds that extra immersive quality and advantage to my gaming experience. I have noticed however the surround sound app for headsets do differ from one headset to another, for example the surround sound and bass quality are much more apparent on my astro A40's than it is with my turtle beach XO one. Other than that the app is amazingly awesome.

THIS IS THE MOST INCREDIBLE XBOX SETTING I dont even know where to begin. for those of you who have never heard of Dolby Atmos or aren't familiar with the technology behind it, DO NOT IGNORE this and chalk it up as just some premium setting for some beefy home theater set-up that you will never be able to afford.. no no no. DOWNLOADING THIS APP WILL TRANSFORM THE WAY YOU EXPERIENCE VIDEO GAMES FOREVER! ALL YOU NEED IS A PAIR OF STEREO HEADPHONES. ANY PAIR WILL WORK whether you have some crappy old pair that cost you $5 back in 1991, or some elite 7.1 surround sound gaming headphones, ALL YOU NEED TO DO is install this app, launch it and select"headphones" as your preferred listening device, then you have the option to use a 5 day FREE TRIAL, or pay $14.99 and transform the way you experience sound forever. after downloading the dolby atmos for headphones in this app, MAKE SURE TO HIT: guide button>settings>display&sound>audio output>and on the right choose Dolby Atmos. You are welcome

1st demand should be making it a one time payment no subscription. 2nd Demand should be making it to where you can modify or tune the way you want to hear things ; an example could be spotify for iphone where there is an equalizer with a range of options to choose from which would be genuinely worth my purchase. I would generally love to recommend this app for a few people but i highly doubt they would want to purchase this. Overall this app has alot of potential capable of big things. If it manages very well i suppose i could give it another review.

Okay I'm going to get this out of the way. Yes, Atmos costs $15. but I'm reviewing the app, not the price. First. it works fairly well. granted it's only virtual surround sound, not the real deal. Second, is a common misconception. THIS APP DOES NOT MAKE NORMAL SPEAKER SURROUND!!! Surround sound isn't just created. whether it be a movie, TV show, video game, or other it is intentionally created by audio engineers to get the audio you hear in a theater, so it will only work well with applications and videos that were designed to use Atmos. but, overall, it works fairly well, and in my opinion is worth the $15 dollars. but due to the nature of the application versus the price, I'm only going to give it 4 stars. I hope you found this review useful.

Will turn any headphone into Dolby Surround sound (they suggest that you turn any DOLBY off on any headphones/headsets you're using). Just listen to the sound demos, it makes my Astro A40 TR & my Turtle Beach 800X sound even better. Highly Recommend, especially if you're an audiophile like me!!

I've been using Windows sonic enhancer with my old x42's. It made them sound a little better than the stock surround, but dolby atmos was like getting a new headset! Supported atmos content is simply amazing and it even improves standard dolby digital and other content as well. Try the free trial first, I'm sure you'll enjoy it

other companies want you to spend a lot of money on their inferior-sounding headphones, when true gamers and audiophiles should already own superior ones. this well-priced app is much better sounding with my hi-res headphones than the competition. the only complaint is that i don't own an atmos home theater to get the full use out of it. maybe it would be nice to have a choice of selected modes, for, say, $8 each for people like myself who can't turn up a stereo because i live in an apartment, but having both for the future is nice, too, if my purchase carries over to future consoles.

The Dolby Atmos Headphone option shows up in windows menus then leads you to this paywall. I tried the demo and enjoyed the option but feel it is very wrong to pay for something that was never advertised in update notes as pay walled and appears in the windows sound menu as if it were already installed.
