I don't post much but this is a deal I noticed last night.
DOLBY ATMOS for Headphones for Windows 10 PCs, XBOX One, and XBOX SERIES S/X is on sale for $ 10.49 (Normal price $14.99). If you aren't familiar...only Windows Sonic is supported out of the box for Xbox consoles and Windows 10 PCs,
Dolby Atmos and DTS are extra and require installation / activation.
You will need to install the DOLBY ACCESS app (which comes with a 7-day free ATMOS trial) via the Microsoft store on Windows 10 & Xbox Consoles.
Via that app you can access the purchase of DOLBY ATMOS as well as the settings. You also can go directly to the link for purchase.
This rarely ever goes on sale though I do know vouchers for a free copy are included with some RIG headsets.

Stereo Uncompressed: Sounds flat but nothing necessary seems off.
Windows Sonic: Sound stage seems larger with this option, but too "tinny and reverb-y" for my taste.
Dolby Atmos: A good balance between feeling like it has dimension without that tinny sound. You also can adjust some settings in the app to your preference.
I'm not an audio expert, but Dolby Atmos for Headphones in my experience seems to be the best option out of all of them.
Egon: Don't cross the simulated surround sound.
Peter: Why?
Egon: It would be bad.
Peter: I'm fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean "bad"?
Egon: Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.
Raymond: Total protonic reversal.
Peter: That's bad. Okay. Alright, important safety tip, thanks Egon.

I will need to mess around more in the settings. Thanks
