FAQS

Are the Artics pro 7.1 adolby atmos for Xbox one?

Atmos simulates surround sound and is a proprietary tech by Dolby. It’s not universally compatible with surround sound mixing formats and as such only properly works when the source is also presenting audio in the Atmos format. When the source is Atmos, it’s amazing. When it isn’t, it’s very hit or miss.
