It's trash; just an electronic equalizer that is set to make loud explosions and crap in games like COD. These are NOT competitive settings. These do not increase footstep sounds. This does not increase sound stage. The free version offered by microsoft sonic (free on xbox) is nearly identical.

Worse is for games like R6S which was designed for stereo only, turning on Dolby atmos or any other surround config will just convert that stereo audio to fake surround sound, thus giving you wrong audio in-game.

Go uncompressed or windows sonic. Don't waste money on this trash tier garbo.

As for people on windows; do not download and pay for this trash. This is by far better and cheaper -> https://github.com/jaakkopasanen/AutoEq

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFB9uBKyP8s <- Video on how to configure it.

TL;dr you want a NEUTRAL sound for competitive FPS, not this boosted crap for kids who want to make their ears bleed everytime a grenade is thrown. Want a better sound stage? Stop playing on closed back headphones geared to sell to 12 year olds from gamestop.

I have both dolby and dts, dts is much more noticeable (dolby sounds very similar to sonic) and I recommend over this. Dts was on sale during Black Friday for $9.99

Worth it just for mp shooter games... has setting for movies/games/music/custom. If I forget to change back for games, I can automatically tell in shooter games becuz I don't get the same spatial/directional sound of players.

for music/movies , I can't say if it's superior as I can't see a huge difference.

just tried this during BF 2042. I found it pretty good, specifically with overhead shots. I wish there was some more tuning, because somethings felt exaggerated.

Dolby randomly give me another 12-hour trial and I could swear Atmos is better than Windows Sonic.

I've been forced to use a headset with the Series X since it doesn't have an audio out nor does my Pioneer KURO plasma.

Surprisingly good with the Audeze Mobius with 3D enabled. I'm curious if it utilizes the 5.1/7.1 Atmos source for room virtualization since that would be worth the cost alone.

​It is tied to your account, so I think you can use this app on devices tied to your microsoft account.

Yes, it works with bluetooth! I use it with my bluetooth speakers.

I think you can use the free trial version and determine if it works for you. I got three days of free trial, and I find it appealing.

I bought this last year for the same price. Works great on all the headphones I've tried, especially FPS where you can hear footsteps and gunfire.

People forget that even though they have "Dolby Headphones" built-in they still need the software for the hardware.
