Product Information

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. If you are a music lover or a part-time music-making enthusiast, I am pretty sure you stress a lot of importance on music quality and how it fondles the innards of your eardrums.

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? The software mixes the whole set of sounds before they are channelled into your headphones. For example, a gunshot coming from the right corner is ‘relocated’ so you can hear it coming from that direction, contributing to the overall experience and immersing more into the game or whatever you prefer listening to. Sound designers spend a lot of time in games and movies carefully placing each sound where it should be, creating an immersive listening experience. Those sound mixes, however, usually work best with multi-speaker setups. Windows Sonic for Headphones works through virtual means, which is obvious because it has to fit the requirements of all devices. The actual workload is taken by the software rather than the physical hardware in the device. Nowadays, it’s common to see DTS and Dolby audio systems present in all high-end devices, and We know that these are awesome in their performance in bringing out the best in gaming and entertainment as we know it.Spatial sound, on the other hand, is similar to a three-dimensional audio experience in that it allows you to hear and experience audio vertically and horizontally. What exactly are the Windows Sonic Headphones? What is Spatial Sound? It’s less expensive: Windows Sonic for Headphones is free to use and does not require any expensive hardware.

In recent years, spatial audio software has taken significant leaps. Thanks to advances in technology, it's now possible to accurately emulate a surround sound speaker experience with a regular pair of headphones. Microsoft's effort in this regard is Windows Sonic, a free tool built into Windows to enhance the audio experience. Space constraints: You don’t have to worry about installing large surround sound systems to get a comparable audio experience.Windows Sonic for Headphones can only work with applications, games, or movies that have the option of rendering to 7.1 channel formats. Sometimes, you might find games and applications which may not have any use in activating this feature. Why Should You Use This Feature? Windows Sonic, according to Microsoft’s developer documentation, is a “platform-level solution for spatial sound support on Xbox on Windows.” 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.

Spatial sound APIs enable application developers to “build audio objects that produce audio from positions in 3D space.”

It means it doesn’t make much sense to talk about the use of spatial sound tech in musical experience, as it doesn’t match the requirements. 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?

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. 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. Lesser the equipment, the less the hassle, and more the fun! How to Turn On Windows Sonic for Headphones Sound Format?

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. No worries about getting those heavy speakers and audio systems to enjoy your movie. The software will do all the heavy-lifting with a seamless experience.
