For application to vanilla 5.1 Dolby Digital, I initially preferred DTS X for greater “out of your head” sense of depth. However the audio fidelity / quality is not as good as Atmos for headphone IMO, sounds a tad muffled in comparison. At first, I thought it was an acceptable trade-off as I had excellent experiences with DTS headphone X V2 on the Steelseries Gamedac with the PS4. However when I used it on Xbox with Witcher 3, the swirling wind and rustling foliage sound effects sounded pretty bad so I guess quality/fidelity is content dependent. So, these days I tend to try first with DTS headphone X and if it sucks then I move to Atmos, which I know will be decent if not quite as deep. The exception to this rule is if I know the game or film in question has a native Atmos soundtrack. In that instance, I will always use Atmos for headphone. The same would hold in reverse if the content featured a native DTS X soundtrack but I have never come across any such content. It’s much rarer than Atmos, particularly for gaming.Has anyone tried Dolby Atmos for Headphones and DTS Sound Unbound. What do you prefer
thanks
