Atmos music does not means better sound, it all depends on the mixing. For instance, I play Lady Gaga’s Always Remember Us This Way via Apple TV to my Sony HT-A9, and the result is bad. But Airplay it to HT-A9 with Sony’s 360 Reality Audio is soooo much better

Dolby Atmos from Mi 12s Ultra is really interesting. Can Upmix in Atmos any stereo track in a way that Tidal Atmos/ 360R does it. I dunno, I'm not impressed, maybe cose i heard 1st Atmos on 7.1.2 sound system and i have binaural music too. I mention that i have Sony Buds with 360 and stereo lossless DTS content too, but also Tidal ( upmix tested on master). SoundCloud,so long, also Fidelio b97 7.1.2 IMAX ( with rear speakers.

Works on 4k fire stick Floyd's Time, but not Coldplay which defaults back to Amazon music title.

@MunKeeButt67 2 месяца назад

That's the biggest problem. Compatibility, your apple TV won't play it but your airplay will. TV streams have similar problems compared to firesticks etc. now TV is the worst though in England. It looks and sounds like VHS 🙃

@jasonSmi15 5 месяцев назад

And...your tv needs to have an Earch HDMI as well. I have a Sonos system (with 300) and an older tv. I haven't found a work around yet (except getting a new tv) for movies. With audio, I just stream apple music through the Sonos app.

@MunKeeButt67 2 месяца назад

Doesn't the Sonos have hdmi inputs? That's where you would hear a difference 🙃

@MunKeeButt67 2 месяца назад

The 4k firestick defaults at Dolby digital plus, but in a smart tv it shows as multi channel pcm. I'm not sure if Dolby Atmos music is working on Amazon music in them, but I will try them. Tried a best of Dolby Atmos playlist on Atmos compatible Samsung TV, Amazon music app. Only shows as stereo PCM. Tried 4k firestick in same TV, Atmos works, Floyd's Time was multi channel, but not much difference between channels, Skrillex Ratata had some good channel separation and Missy's vocals were moving around the front heights. An Andre 3000 Collab had a nice choir piece that was very open. Good luck working out the streams 🙃

@audiononsense1611 16 дней назад

Your problem is gear and setup...

@MunKeeButt67 16 дней назад

@@audiononsense1611 problem is too many different approaches from streams to be consistent. Even now Amazon music TV app has different look and volume to Amazon music on firestick. My soundbar height is not going to be good at 2x 10w, with 180w LCR, but everything is connected correctly, Even movie Atmos on Disney varies between the TV app and firestick. By the time this is ironed out, we will have Atmos ultra or some nonsense, to start it all off again. My set up has limitations but it works. These are just my findings 🙃

Good job, but you missed the easiest hdmi test: streaming the music apps via their tv apps (without buying a streaming device like an Apple TV). Do the apps only offer it on Dolby-atmos enabled tvs?

@shane6115 8 месяцев назад

I wonder can any of you experts explain one question for me, I have a 55’ LG C2 with a LG sound bar with Dolby atmos and also the 2 little Bluetooth speakers, my problem is when I’m watching normal tv or RU-vid the sound is brilliant, but when I’m watching Netflix the sound is crap as in I have to turn volume up a lot more as it’s more muffled on Netflix,

@MunKeeButt67 2 месяца назад

Is your tv Dolby Atmos compatible? If so you'll have to enable the Atmos in the sound settings, and ensure the hdmi cable is in the eArc socket for built in streaming apps to work. Hdmi sockets send the signal to the soundbar, even if TV Atmos is off 🙃

@acenewholland564 2 месяца назад

I think the problem comes from Netflix. I know they offer sometimes 2 options for the same audio, one being more balanced so that you can hear the vocals without playing with the volume

@SamHocking 8 месяцев назад

Important to remember, that Airpod Pro + Apple Music Dolby Atmos isn't technically the same as Dolby Atmos for Headphones because Apple devices use their own Apple's Spatial decoder to decode the Dolby Atmos DD+JOC. The Dolby Atmos decoder doesn't decode DD+JOC to headphones, it's delivered as AC4-IMS (all Android) which is essentially a 2.0 binaural stream using the AC4 Dolby codec. iirc, Apple Music will use AC4-IMS when using non-Airpod/Beats headphones with Apple Music. All streaming services will stream DD+JOC when the consumer playback is Atmos home theatre / soundbars etc.

I just bought Peter Gabriel's new album with Atmos blu ray, and I think the dark mix cd on a panny sc602 mini hifi sounds wider than the Blu-ray directly through an Atmos soundbar. My big concern is if head phones are Dolby Atmos ready, why isn't a stereo hifi system, as there are generally only l+r speakers in headphones anyway. Just seems like a market ploy to push Atmos equipment. I think dts has a very good ambience with Blu-ray sound, and could be just as good for music. A few rear/top speaker effects aren't going to push a lot of consumers to move, when a newer better faster stronger option is always ready to launch, as soon as your system is in place🙃

@totalplonker824 27 дней назад

Dolby Atmos is still a fairly new concept! Besides, a stereo hi-fi is designed for stereo music. Hence, the two channels. If one wishes to experience Dolby Atmos, one really needs to go with an av amp that can support as well as bed layer channels support height channels too. Therefore, it has to be at least a 7 channel av/amp. That's 5 ear-level speakers and two up top. However, if one wishes to experience a full bubble of sound, one really needs to go with at least 4 heights. One could always go the Mickey Mouse route and experience object-based audio with reflected bouncy bouncy speakers. Personally, I would rather experience virtual Atmos coming out of a sound bar.

@MunKeeButt67 15 дней назад

@@totalplonker824 it's of interest, but not something I will be looking to build on. SACD, and dvd audio, the list goes on. I'm too old to care, just want good music reproduction 🙃

@gregbartley2475 6 месяцев назад

I realize the stereo is technically 2 dimensional but on a good recording on a high performance stereo can sound three dimensional without the gimmicky Atmos treatment. I have tried Atmos music at home and I personally prefer stereo. That’s just me.

An Atmos pass through phone is designed for listening via headphones. Btw its totally different from a separate source of surround sound system. If you still having a problems list your equipment and I'll see if I can help you

@MunKeeButt67 2 месяца назад

I think PS5 and Xbox S and x will, but Atmos will probably be in video content, not gameplay, but Dolby digital is supported 🙃

@acenewholland564 2 месяца назад

I’ve tested Atmos with my Bluetooth headphones (by forcing via Apple Music) and the result really isn’t convincing. I think I would need to get headphones made for this purpose

@periurban 6 месяцев назад

I've just downloaded and installed Dolby Atmos for my PC. I'm listening through a USB interface, and Audio Technica ATH-M50x headphones and EVERYTHING sounds... "better"? I'm a musician and producer, with 40 years experience and 80 albums under my belt. I play old stereo mixes that I know were very good (because I made them), and the sound just comes alive, with instruments separated better than I managed on my own! I have no idea what Atmos is doing, but I think I have to now figure out how to include it in everything I make from here on.

@gigteevee6118 2 месяца назад

PS5, plus a Pulse Elite headset running at 2.4ghz via its dongle rather than Bluetooth is way better for Spacial Audio on the native Apple Music app, I cancelled my Spotify subscription and never looked back.

@finnbogimarinosson3463 4 месяца назад

I listened 1:14 into the video and there you made your first wrong claim so I stopped because what else is the wrong, after all your time making this video ? My 2 channel system plays a 3D soundstage for me. There is stereo, left to right, there is depth that extends way behind my system, and goes a feet or two in front of the system. The stereo has high, meaning some instruments are higher in the stereo, or lower than others. In other words my stereo creates a huge 3 dimensional soundstage in front of me. You were saying ?

Atmos music is a joke. If done properly (mixed and mastered) all the speakers would emulate a band and the way they setup on stage. That said if you could convince record companies to just get two channel done right that would be a great restart. Too much crap is produced these days with over production... I'm out...

@MunKeeButt67 16 дней назад

@@audiononsense1611 I'd be hoping for a separation of twin guitar bands, and crash cymbals in the heights, and drums going around the base speakers. Definitely kick drum from the sub, and snare central. Keyboards, horns etc could move around better as well. Some simple stereo mixes give a good ambience without all the bells and whistles 🙃

@MunKeeButt67 16 дней назад

@@audiononsense1611 I bought the Peter Gabriel album as I am a lifelong fan, but the bright side mix is the best of this mediocre album. His Melt album from 1980 has a better stereo mix, than the I/o Atmos mix🙃
