I was just testing it out, for the first time actually with some Bose headphones I have around. Does anyone prefer it over a surround sound, like a 5.1 system (via optical)? I don't know why I didn't know, but I just found out that you could plug any headphone you have into the Xbox controller and listen to whatever is on screen and the Dolby Atmos is supposed to enhance even stereo only headphones. I didn't buy it, but I am trying it out for free. I like it I guess, but I'm not sure I prefer it over my 5.1 system. I mean, I'm really not sure. It doesn't have as pinpoint accuracy as the soundbar with satellite speakers, but things are loud and crisp and do differ in volume from your back to your front some. I closed my eyes and rotated my character in The Division 2 to see if I could correctly guess where some friendly NPCs were and I was pretty close once I opened my eyes, which is a good thing. Anyways, does anyone use these options (especially Atmos) and would you recommend buying the Atmos app? I think the reason I didn't know you could do such a simple thing is that I rarely use a headset to play anything online, nor do I wear headphones that often so for me it was an easy miss.
