Hello all. So, I wrote about audio setups on the XSX/SS a few days back. Turns out Xbox have just announced support for DTS:X, the alternative to Atmos.
This is great news for those who cannot afford Atmos, as this produces somewhat similar effects to it at a cheaper entry price.
As you see, it says it’s free for home theatre, but you will need to pay a one off fee for the headphone service.
A while ago I gave the trial a shot with headphones and I actually liked it better than Dolby Atmos for headphones. Something I really had not expected at all.
So when I saw this tweet pop up, I went straight to Amazon.
I have been debating for almost a week about audio for XSX, as I’ve been using my TV speakers for a long time.
My wife won’t allow me to go back to having a reciever and speakers like I used to, so I was looking into Soundbars.
The minimum entry for Atmos was in the £300 mark, and I really did not want to spend that amount with the current plague and doing less hours lately.
The entry for an okay soundbar with DTS:X is £160, almost half the price for the alternative.
So, I’ve ordered it and looking forward to it.
You could say this news came at the perfect time, and allows people to experience something like Atmos(albeit faux and nothing like a reciever) at a very cheap price.
