Product Information

This is applicable to all programs, including new UWP apps, old Windows desktop applications, normal PC games, and Xbox One games. Space constraints: You don’t have to worry about installing large surround sound systems to get a comparable audio experience. Movies: Movies with good picture quality and sound are always better. When you watch a movie with Windows Sonic for Headphones enabled, you have a better chance of hearing subtle nuances.

When something emits sound waves (creates sound), one of your ears detects it first. The delay information is then used by your brain to calculate an approximate direction of the sound. This is referred to as head-related transfer functions (HRTF). Simple to configure: In general, you can configure it by toggling a single switch on your computer or Xbox One. It’s always nice to get better sound for less money, but there are a few key areas where Windows Sonic for Headphones comes in handy. When gaming, the positional aspect of Windows Sonic allows you to hear the direction of footsteps or gunshots. It’s extremely useful to be able to rely on both your ears and your reaction skills in multiplayer games. Despite having only two ears, we can accurately pinpoint the direction of the sound. How is that even possible?Well, good news for you, there is a pre-installed software, Windows Sonic, and its Spatial Sound feature in Windows 10 that helps you have an ecstatic experience with your music and overall audio-visual experience. So you might be sceptical about what free software like Windows Sonic can offer in terms of quality and what the real-world performance will be like. Let’s have a look, shall we? As a result, you get a better audio experience, as if you’re listening to your home theater system through headphones. How Does Spatial Sound Works? How Headphones Fool You into Hearing Big Soundstage? Windows Sonic, according to Microsoft’s developer documentation, is a “platform-level solution for spatial sound support on Xbox on Windows.”

Windows Sonic spatial sound can shift audio around your complete body, making it sound like it’s coming from above your head or below your feet. In simpler terms, it’s like Windows created many sets of speakers around your room, but the only difference is, it’s a virtual effect that you can experience through your headphones. The best way to experience spatial audio is usually with a pair of 7.1 surround sound speakers and something like Dolby Atmos. But those are expensive and can be disruptive to others. Windows Sonic, thankfully, also works with any pair of headphones – and a good pair of stereo headphones can sound surprisingly realistic. Rather than using a pair of sonic headphones or a dedicated set of surround sound speakers, Windows Sonic can be simply activated by switching it on in your speaker settings in Windows 10.The Dolby Access app in the Store can assist you in configuring Dolby Atmos home theater audio on a Windows 10 PC. How Does Spatial Sound Works? Music: We are not talking much about music quality here because music is primarily synthesized as stereo audio for use in headphones. Spatial Sound in Windows Sonic is specifically built for Headphones. It is essential to the software to ‘create audio objects that emit audio from 3D space positions’, which Microsoft puts it technically. It’s less expensive: Windows Sonic for Headphones is free to use and does not require any expensive hardware.

In a movie, TV show, or video game, for example, if a sound is coming from above you and to your right, the upwards-firing or ceiling-mounted speakers on the right side of your room will place the sound in that location—assuming you have Dolby Atmos. You can turn off Windows Sonic for Headphones using the dropdown menu. Depending on your headset, you may also find toggles for turning off and on surround sound here. How to Activate Windows Sonic on Xbox One?So, what is Windows Sonic, and how does it work? To answer this we first need to talk a bit about what spatial sound is. Spatial sound lets a listener more accurately determine where a sound is coming from. With it, you can hear not just the side an audio cue is coming from, but precise angle and elevation. As you can imagine, then, Windows Sonic for Headphones can be great for gaming. A surround sound mix (song, game, or movie) and dedicated surround software to translate the mix to your headphones are required to experience the spatial sound effect. Spatial audio simulates the experience of listening to multiple speakers while using headphones with only two speakers (left & right). This is where spatial sound software, such as Windows Sonic for Headphones, comes in handy. It takes the positional data and converts it to fit standard 2-speaker stereo headphones. Read on to see How to turn on Spatial Sound(Windows Sonic), the feature, what the software actually is, how it works, and how it compares to the other similar sound software in the market. What Is Windows Sonic for Headphones? The software only handles sound effects in the presence of a headphone (as is with other softwares). So don’t expect it to work with exterior speakers of your Windows-powered device.
