I can never thank you enough for your Nakimachi review as it’s truly bad ass. Those duel subwoofers 9.2.4 🔊 🔊 Truly the best sound bar!
Redmi 32 tv support dtx x
I replaced my floor, my walls, my ceiling and my furniture with surround speakers. I think I'm finally ready to watch Sharknado 6.
i'll rewatch it few more times, making sure i won't miss any easter egg
please also add Eat Pray Love to your bucket list after Sharknado 6
Noice!!👍
I even filled my blanket and pillows with speakers, preparing for winter...
Lmfao
this made me chuckle thanks
Dolby Atmos
Object based surround audio in a mix and can reproduce up to 128 simultaneous audio objects in a mix, as opposed to the one single channel of sound. Dolby is more advanced, and produces better sound quality at a lower bit rate. There are many possible variations of Dolby Atmos home theatre installs, from a conventional 5.1.2 configuration all the way up to 24.1.10. However, most of us are restricted by space. The size of the room plays a big part of each configuration. Traditional configurations in the UK include: 5.1.2, 5.1.4, 7.1.2 or 7.1.4 - the final .2 or .4 indicates the number of upward-firing Dolby Atmos enabled speakers or modules for overhead sound.
DTS X
Standard object based surround audio which means that sound sources are tagged with a location in a 3D space, rather than being pre-mixed into 5.1 or 7.1 channels like Dolby Atmos. DTS X also uses less sound compression level unlike Dolby. This means sound can be delivered with more details and sound clarity. DTS produces better sound quality at a higher bit rate. DTS also supports other immersive formats’ speaker layouts, giving consumers freedom to choose their favourite layout” because it uses the royalty-free Multi-Dimensional Audio (MDA) platform, while Atmos uses proprietary systems. For the full DTS:X immersive experience, height speakers are needed, so you can start with 5.1.2 to a maximum of 7.1.4 at this time, based on our assessment of mainstream consumer platform capabilities.
Auro 3D
First of all, let’s establish that this question is about immersive sound (i.e. sound in 3D), which is adding the height layer (the missing third dimension) and not about surround sound, which was often wrongly marketed as a 3D sound format because it uses only a 2D horizontal plane of speakers around the audience. After myself - the inventor of the Auro-3D format - referred to it as “immersive sound,” it became the new generic term also used by Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. We also have a three-layered system (while Dolby Atmos has only two layers) that gives a much more natural spread of sound in the vertical axis (key to a natural immersive sound experience) with much more precise localisation which can be achieved without the use of object-based technology, which we only use where it makes sense. Everything starts with Auro 8.0, which are two quadraphonic layers above eachother, but of course it is missing the centre and LFE speaker of the 5.1 system which are crucial for playback of movies; therefore we advise on installing at least an Auro 9.1 system. Auro 11.1 became the preferred choice by our partner Barco for the cinema industry because it adds a height centre channel on screen, with six screen channels in two vertical planes, delivering the best screen sound of all immersive formats on the market today. Also, it’s important to remember that about 80% of the sound energy of a movie is coming from the screen, so it really makes sense to prioritise that sound quality, which we did in the Auro-3D format. The typical gap between the front and surround channels with 5.1 surround suddenly disappears when the Auro-3D height layer is installed. So the need for Auro 7.1 for the home is much less important if Auro-3D is installed. But for people who already have a 7.1 installation, they can choose Auro 13.1 which is based on a 7.1 surround sound system. This can be achieved with channel-based sound alone, which has many advantages in the sound quality and its immersive sound experience. We can further improve it using our object-based technology (called AuroMax) but it only makes sense if at least 20 individual amplified speakers (like AuroMax 22.1 or 26.1) are installed, which is not typical for a home cinema setup.

Nice Thank you😘
Ok
Excellent information!!
This video is garbage compared to your comment.
Bro, you okay?? Is your life good??
I prefer DTS as it always works on all of my 5.1 & 7.1 receivers, sounds phenomenal and the 3d space is accurate without ceiling speakers. I have frequent issues with dolby not getting decoded properly and ends up as down mixed 2 channel.
What Tv are you using ? How to set a perfect movie environment. Please guide
@@vignesht6270Im using a windows 10 pc to play 8 channel dts movies with vlc player through a 8 channel receiver with the 2 side speakers pointing up. The tv is not important but it is a lg 55" 3d tv from 2012. I download my movie from torrent sites with a vpn and I make sure they have the dts 6 or 8 channel audio.
@@fivestar2227 thank you very much for the response. Actually i thought of buying a tv. Which can support dts x and dolby atmos. But they all say both tv and soundbar has to support hdmi v 2.1. The more the advanced, more technical it becomes. :(
@@vignesht6270 And the hdmi cables must be v2.1 also
This is facts, my Dolby Atmos soundbar has issues with certain media, but when it works? IT WORKS. My DTS soundbar is dependable af, it ALWAYS works, but it doesn't sound better than the working Dolby Atmos soundbar … when the media supports it lol.
I haven't been able to test DTS: X on Windows 10 yet, but using Dolby Atmos as my spatial audio has been truly amazing. The level at which it has enhanced my gaming experience is unbelievable and I will never go back to stereo again. Dolby on Windows is not perfect though, every so often it will cause my speakers to emit an awful shrill sound, which is easily remedied by switching to stereo and then back to Atmos again. This problem was very prevalent for me last year, but has improved itself tremendously since then (with recent Windows updates). Now it hardly ever happens anymore.
Another Windows-based issue I am having with Atmos is my GeForce game recordings occasionally not having any sound or having certain sound effects muffled (I particularly notice this in my Halo Infinite clips). I have an easy workaround for it, but often times I'll forget to do it and will end up with a lot of recordings with no audio, which is really frustrating. But overall, Atmos sounds fantastic and I experience zero audio issues while in-game. Just recently, I noticed the DTS:X Ultra codec is finally available for me to use on Windows 10, so I am super excited to try it! When I upgraded to Windows 11 (I recently downgraded back to Windows 10) I was able to use DTS: X and was very impressed by it. Both companies are awesome and I really don't think you can go wrong with using either of them.
In conclusion, with my two years of owning a 7.1 home theater system, I have found Dolby Atmos to be the most compatible with my hardware (by far) -- i.e. my Samsung Galaxy phone, Nvidia Shield, Windows, Blu-Rays, PlayStation4/Xbox One, and a few others. The only chance I get to really compare DTS and Dolby is while watching movies or listening to music. I am no audio expert, but I felt like Dolby Atmos sounded a bit more powerful and a tad fuller, but DTS: X sounded much more natural and realistic, I particularly like using DTS: X for music and using Dolby Atmos for movies and gaming.
re2 remake atmos was amazing on my sonos so i paid for the dolby app
in my years of trying both systems in headsets and speakers my conclusion is dts is noticeably better on headset and dolby sounds just a little better on a speaker setup however its harder to setup and more expensive and dts is more flexible so i would personalt go for dts for both
WhenI use netflix with a dolby atmos movie how do I get dts x?
💯💯💯💯💯 true real life experience my opinion is DTS
Most of the IMAX THEATRE across the world preferred dts : X sound for dynamic earth shattering lmmersive experience.
Interesting
Wrong.
DTS-X ❤ Am I the only one that hears the difference? Have switched my buying to DTS and DTS-X movies only! Listening to Dolby ATMOS is like listening with a pillowcase over my head.
For anyone who wants to know the song that plays in the background it's [Be Right There - by oomie]
DTS:X Hands-down winner for music and audio mixing! 👍
Hands down!!!
In theory (and from how the demos sound) Dolby Atmos is amazing. In practice, I don't really notice the difference. I had ceiling mount front and rear speakers for my 5.1 setup due to space, room design, and budget, but then added two big floor speakers to the front (changing the old fronts to front height). I got into Atmos from just upgrading my front speakers, as my receiver already supported it.
Even at my relatively low cost of entry, I'm not sure it was a good value.
If you're feeling the Atmos itch, I'd suggest trying to experience it for yourself first... before spending a lot of money.
5:39 It was HD-DVD vs Blu-ray. Not, DVD. In fact, DVDs are still being produced.
Can you elaborate
DVD had been around a while and Blu-ray was the next step up, as is the case with 4K
And while HD-DVDs don't work in the same players, 4K and Blu-ray players are backwards compatible
Also, discs can have DTS-X and Dolby Atmos audio tracks
HD-DVD made more sense name wise. Blu Ray (? The colour of the darn laser that reads the discs) means little still to a lot of people and slowed the uptake of the format down IMO. Just think how much sense UHD-DVD would sound today as an evolution of HD-DVD instead of the confusion of 4K mentioned, it’s like they’ve not even settled on calling it 4K UHD or Ultra HD Blu Ray. This is also confusing to consumers. Of course fanboys like us understand, but lay people who want an upgrade can get confused as to what’s what and maybe not bother or think it’s all gimmicks.
@@lenniebruce yea but dvd originally doesnt mean anythin, atleast bluray does mean the blue laser that reads the info :)
schwartzy65 DVD 📀 means Digital Versatile Disc or Digital Video Disc.
I prefer DTS for headphones also. Amazing experience
if your a headphone fan and you like multichannel content... then try out the Smyth Research A16.... it puts 24 channels into a set of headphones.. its amazing... and yes, you can here every single one of those 24 speakers and their locations very easily on a set of headphones... amazing...
I find DTS to be a bit louder and more abrasive. I usually prefer DTS to Dolby though.
Which films do you like to usually watch Ryan
DTS gives a bit of high sound than Dolby Digital, I can't say which is the best.
same here
@@GearlyReviews i watch porn mostly but hollywood stuff is always on the list.
@@A47M36 for porn, headphones are still the safest buddy :P
I don’t know but lately I’ve been paying serious attention to these sound formats and it seems like DTS X is more full filling than DOLBY ATMOS. It sounds as if there is a lot more immersive sound. Hell it also seems like overhead sound is moré prevalent. I don’t know. And I’m using a Dolby Atmos bar. Don’t get me wrong they both sound good but DTS X movies sound a lot better
What setup do you use Devon?
Gearly Reviews I’m using the HT-ST5000/65x900f/UBPX700
Try telling that to the people that have the Nakamichi 9.2.4 they act like it's the best thing since pancakes. Making me wanna go out and get that set.
DTS:X ftw so much better
@@SuperD00D Dolby Atmos blows DTS:X out of the water.
You guys need to remember that although a movie may be coded for DTS or for Atmos.. It is still one stream of directional audio. Which is then played through an encoder (Atmos or DTS) which decides what to do with the audio. From experience some Atmos encoded films, can sound better on DTS and some DTS encoded films can sound better on Atmos. It all depends on how they're using that directional audio data stream.
I actually came here because i'm using both with headphones for gaming on a PC. Now the same goes for games, however all game producers use the same Windows Directional Audio encoder. Which means that using Atmos or DTS is subjective and down to personal preference. I have found that Atmos is very much on top of you, its loud and in your face, Its "spacious" is only about 2ft away from your skull. Now with DTS they have a "spacious" option... which turns that 2ft of audio into about 10ft giving you much more awareness of directional audio in games, Footsteps and bullets being the main one.
I like DTS, sound and bass so loud and so clear
Hi Prakash, which tv are you using?. I am confused man. They say only hdmi arc pin supports atmos and dts x on sound bars. Please help me
@@vignesht6270 lg
DTS X is absolutely phenomenal on 4k Blu-Ray and exceeded the quality of Dolby Atmos considerably! This is what I got from the Incredible Hulk (2008). It was a pure WOW!
I also liked Lightyear from Disney Plus streaming Dolby Atmos but I don’t like having to cast it from iPhone instead of using the app on the television due to lack of Dolby Atmos support in the latest Disney Plus update with Sony Bravia !
It's pronounced Dolby "At-mows" not "At-mis"
Its At-moss ... as in Atmosphere!
Fail
"At-moss" *
People pronounce words differently depending on their dialect and region, so usually no one is "wrong". Some might pronounce "atmosphere" as "at-MOH-sphere" (moh as in Larry, currly and moe), some "at-MUS-sphere" (muh as in Elon Musk), and some "at-MAH-sphere" (ah, as in austrailia). Even "at-MISS-sphere" (MISS as in myst).
Either is fine so long as you can understand what is meant.
Dolby is more popular, but popular does not mean better. In my opinion DTS has always been superior since the very beginning.
Interesting
i test both of them i found dts x i can sound the enemy position better than atmos
V A S H do you have enemies?
@@anthonyloveanthonylove2159 yes i do
Stopped watching when you recommended sound bars.
He included many qualifiers though lol
Earl same.
Same
I like Dolby Atmos better overall. If I’m watching something that’s mastered in 5.1 format, then I prefer DTS X to upmix it. DTS just seems to upmix better IMO.
Hey Chris which setup do you use
Gearly Reviews, just a simple 5.1.2 setup. With a Denon 3500 receiver.
Curtis Kloberdanz have u tried the Auro 3d format? I’ve heard good things about it. But I don’t have the room to play around with it.
@@hollnagelc RSRSRS , ... 5.1.2 - SORRY ITS NOT TRUE ATMOS , ... BETTER FOR SAVE MONEY AND BUY BETTER SYSTEM AND OTHER OPTIONS ... !!!
Lucina Yasmin 🤣
I just got the Samsung HW-N950 Soundbar system....has 17 total speakers...with 2 rear satellite speakers that have outward and upward firing speakers and the 48" soundbar has 2 upward firing speakers as well to create a 7.1.4 setup.... SOUNDS AMAZING!!!!....Easy wireless setup....each speaker only needs power... Highly recommend if looking for great sound and easy setup as he mentioned in video!!!
You my friend, are in the soundbar hall of fame haha
that sound system is very rough, especially the central speaker, I prefer the correct distribution of each speaker instead of having the majority in a single sound bar, I have a home theater sony 7.1 with rear speakers that can be located in the area you want and I prefer it a thousand times to have almost all the speakers in a single sound bar.
dts sounds richer
Tbh in theory atmos sounds amazing! And once u hear the demo disc u will be blown away. But that's where it ends.... 90% of the movies have a very poor atmos implementation! Overheard effects? Forget it! U might get one or two moments in a movie where you can distinctively hear an overhead effect. Otherwise it is used just for ambience sounds. Makes u wonder why can't movies have the same sound mix like dolby atmos demo disc? I can only think of a handful of movies that really wowed me with their atmos effects. And I have a full atmos system with 4 overheard speakers. It just seems the sound engineers are too lazy to spend time and effort.
Can you recommend the movies that did a good job?
@@GearlyReviews when I say a handful, there are actually a good selection of movies. But what I mean is compared to all the movies that come out, most of them have a poor implementation of atmos. The ones I have been really impressed with include : godzilla King of monsters (should be called King of atmos), Pacific rim (1+2)4k. Blade runner 2 4k. Mad max fury road 4k. Justice league 4k. Aquaman 4k and there are a few others. Unfortunately a lot of the times a movie with an amazing atmos track isn't always a very good movie lol.
True, Atmos is expensive with new receiver, ceiling speakers etc but there are not many movies with great Atmos, so unless this technology becomes more cheaper and utilised by the masses maybe there will be more movie choices
@@GearlyReviews First time hearing Bohemian Rhapsody Atmos, I knew they're gonna win
@@nirajktm Atmos receivers aren't really any more expensive than older comparable # of channels receivers,, but yes having to upgrade from one you have to a new one is an expense. Speakers are cheap enough, but fo course you need more of them, but that cost isn't likely to decrease. And movie choice is dictated by theatrical release more than home theatre, at least for new content, any newly released movie will likely have some form of height enabled mix, home theatre popularity might impact the number (and quality of mix) of legacy catalog titles that they release, but a lot depends on time, budget and availability of source audio, most 4k re-releases get some form of "immersive audio" but honestly, a lot of movies aren't really going to get much of a benefit from height as in not all movies have stuff that SHOULD happen over head, and often on older titles, the up mixers do as good or better job giving you that extra stage than a hastily done new audio mix does. Ultimately it's the same formula that affects how good a 4k re-release is, was it a quick and dirty upscale or was it a full on digital remastering, time, money and interest determine.
I recently bought dts virtual x samsung surround sound, but it doesn’t really sound surround, specifically the top speaker effect. Also the dialogs are not very clear. Is my sound bar arrangement incorrect. Also, the rear speaker are kind of myth, it is barely audible
DTS:X is not very widespread. DTS missed the whole Streaming market and came late to Gaming. While Atmos has been available for Gaming natively on Windows and Xbox for two years now, DTS is now just starting on Windows 10 and has plans to launch on Xbox in the future.
But it's especially unfortunate, that DTS is not on Netflix, Amazon Video, iTunes, Hulu, Vudu, Disney+ or any other Streaming Service I know about. With the extinction of physical media quickly approaching, that's a very bad situation for DTS to be in...
That’s very accurate Roland, great analysis!
That's coz DTS formats use very high bitrate, their compression ration is poorer (less compressed) compared to Dolby formats. DTS:X is only available on DTS HD (lossless) format, whereas Atmos is available on both TrueHD (lossless) and Dolby Digital Plus (lossy). DD Plus uses very high compression ratio to deliver over the web, so its ideal for streaming. DTS does not have such a format. And also, Dolby just did a better marketing of their tech to production studios...
@@deepanjan2k9
Indeed. But the fact that DTS never actually developed a compressed format for their content shows how badly they misjudged the market. Now, with IMAX Enhanced, they are planning some kind of compressed format, but I am not sure how it works, and it would require an entirely new AV chain since it's not compatible. That os why I am so worries about the future of DTS...they simply have no presence beyond discs, and even there they have a smaller share...
@@rolandrohde
The only way to experience these new sound formats is through Blu Ray as the other approaches are junk.
4K Ultra HD Blu ray disc should have both encoded in the disc.
I agree!! And these studios will see that 90% percent of ppl will pick the dts audio!!! Over dolby every time!! I'm so sick of dolby atmos. Just an hour ago I was looking for dts bluray movies to watch, since many bluray disk have dts encoded . 90% of uhd blurays are dolby atmos which im just fed up with. So I decided to pop in "after earth bluray " which is 5.1 dts. And my denon 4700h automatically switched to dts- neural: X. I will tell you right now, I almost had a heart attack!!! This movie will be my new demo disk for my friends!! Even though it's not a uhd disk. The dts track is the best I've heard!! Better than gravity movie in my opinion.
I only have a simple z5500 that has optic imput for digital 5.1 and DTS. DTS sounds always better than Dolby.
Of course, the original Dolby digital is quite a lossy format, while, in the same age, the DTS competition is better. Due to higher bit rates, and the fact that DTS should be prominently less compressed than Dolby digital.
it depends on your equipment. Yamaha, for instance always sounds nicer to me on DTS than Dolby Digital. However the same amplifier will probably sound better in Dolby True HD than DTS HD Master Audio... the same goes for Atmos and DTS-X.
@@MrBozack dts headphone x is way better than dolby access atmos for headphones though not sure about real dts:x and atmos
Basically it comes down to personal listening preference. I switch between Dolby and dts depending on what I'm watching. Some movies sound better on Dolby than dts and vice versa.
i dont always watch many shows with planes taking off and landing...but when i do i can hear it in Dolby Atmos
Dts x is not free on windows.
Both are great and for me with my simple 5.1 setup DTS X would be better for my setup. But again both are great and it's up to the movie makers to mix the movies as best they can. But Dolby is the clear winner, they are pushing alot of money to have their format be the number 1 and it shows in how many movies are Dolby mixed
I am using the Xbox Wireless Headset for my Xbox Series X and I prefer DTX for non-Dolby games/shows/movies and Dolby Atmos for movies/shows/games that are coded for Atmos.
Just a note: object based surround sound existed in video games since the early 2000s
but which one would be better to purchase for headphone use in pc from the Microsoft store ?
I have both. DTS-X bestest! ❤
DTS X BASS EFFECT IS IMPRESSIVE THAN DOLBY ATMOS
Hi randheer, which tv are you using. ? Please suggest a tv 65 inch under 1 lakh 20k with dts x support
Crap
Up firing is load of crap
I recently purchase dts x sound unbound and it is much better than dolby atmos.
Dts X headphone is far better than Dolby Headphone, it add details, improve bass and preserve directionally of stereo sources.
Having just performed a side by side comparison of Dolby DD and DTS 5.1 using a PS4, Hitman 2 and HDMI in through an Onkyo receiver I found Dolby brighter and DTS richer. The use of forced on DTS virtual X added the sound field immencely. I can't stress enough how raising all speakers to head height or above adds to the over head effect and general dispersion of the virtualised speaker sound field!
Another reason DTS X is superior to Atmos is the ability to force DTS X (backwards compatibility) on as Atmos is automatic only!
ihave TV model 2015 and headphone of my phone so which i shoulf chose in my ps4 Dolby or dts or pcm? i just nead real surrounded sound
To help some of the fellas out there, in my taste (with a high end $2500 avr 5.2.4 setup)
I find that every time DTS:X is the format, it always sound fantastic and amazing, no matter how old the content is.
Atmos is realy unconsistent even if it's labeled as "atmos format", most of the times it's mediocre, sometimes quite bad, and in few titles it has been amazing, "our planet" on Netflix for an example.
To round it up:
Atmos mostly sound mediocre unless it's Real atmos content which is quite rare(I watch movies/series every day)
DTS:X never goes wrong and will always give you an amazing experience (atleast the content I've seen)
Last but not least, if you want the topspeakers to come alive, dts x is definitely your choice, but don't forget to turn up the volume abit on the top speakers, no matter which format you use.
I've had that experience with Atmos where sometimes it is robust and sometimes relatively flat and quiet. The few times I've experienced DTS:X it was exceptional every time.
This video is BS - you clearly did no research beyond reading the marketing literature. DTS:X doesn’t actually work the way they claim it does and you just bought their marketing copy hook, line and sinker.
And the statement that DTS:X is more widely available and somehow cheaper is flat out false.
Poor performance, people watching this will be badly misinformed.
How so Eitan
@@GearlyReviews there's a few things to note, DTS is very misleading with their product descriptions and a lot of the features they advertised are vaporware. Remember that Atmos beat DTS:X to the market by over a year, so DTS:X aggressively tried to fluff up their product to make it sound better specifically in comparison to Atmos. This video feels like it was put out in 2016 when DTS:X was new.
First, in the video you state, "Unlike Atmos, which is still quite a novelty, DTS:X is supported by a large number of manufacturers." I have NO IDEA where you got this info, but it is completely wrong, and in fact the opposite of the truth. You literally cannot find an AVR or processor which supports DTS:X but does not support Atmos. And there are many Atmos capable soundbars and "theater in a box" setups which do not support DTS:X. Plus, on the software side, Atmos has FAR greater industry penetration than DTS:X. There are many times more Atmos discs (BD and 4K) and Atmos has essentially 100% market share for streaming immersive audio. So there is more Atmos-capable hardware and FAR more Atmos content / software available.
I also have no idea where you got the impression that DTS:X will somehow be cheaper for the end-user. An AVR is sold with a standard suite of surround decoders, including regular Dolby/DTS formats, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. There is no option to choose the DTS:X only product and "save money" because Atmos costs more. Any cost differences are irrelevant to consumers because it's all bundled into the processor total cost.
Second, in terms of DTS "fluff"... in the video you state that Atmos requires specific speakers, whereas DTS:X works even without height speakers. This is highly misleading info put out by DTS -- both systems are fully backwards compatible, and if you have a standard 5.1 or 7.1 layout without height speakers they will both work just fine (effectively providing a "core" channel based track). DTS tried to puff up their product as being more flexible, again to make it sound better than Atmos, but the reality is that DTS:X tracks are distributed as 7.1.4 channel mixes and usually don't even have objects encoded.
The biggest vaporware is the "DTS:X will allow you to adjust volume separately from the rest of the mix". This feature technically exists, but it requires the content to be specifically encoded with the dialogue track as an object or it's useless. And, to date, there is zero content which has actually leveraged this feature. The most likely application would be for live events (so you could for example adjust the announcer's voice vs. the crowd noise) but Dolby is going to be the standard for ATSC 3.0 (the new broadcast format) and so it's a moot point.
The most accurate statement you made is that "you're not likely to notice a difference" -- both formats are capable of giving a great immersive audio experience and the individual mix will be the biggest variable. But the idea that DTS:X is actually the more capable/flexible format is wrong, and again a myth perpetuated by DTS marketing fluff. Currently Atmos is actually more flexible and scalable -- DTS:X maxes out at 11 channels of output, whereas Atmos can scale up to 34 channels. That's why DTS:X is releasing a new "Pro" version which will allow more outputs, they are just playing catch-up to Atmos. There are also some technical details where Atmos is superior -- Atmos allows for up to 20 objects in addition to the 7.1 channel bed, whereas DTS:X only has 16 total channels+objects and most released have zero objects and 7.1.4 channels.
Thanks for reading! :)
Thanks for your comments and your time we appreciate it
@@curtiskloberdanz2512 DTS:X sounds better though so it’s kind of weird they have less penetration into the market
On my Samsung Q90R Soundbar the Atmos sounds way louder and punchier than DTS:X, tried quite a few 4k UHD blu-rays of both format and the result always shows the same. I needed to turn up the volume 3-4 points in DTS:X just to match Dolby Atmos.
That’s interesting
@@GearlyReviews Need to mention I play 4k discs on a XBox One X, maybe standalone 4k players fair better with DTS:X?
You may be right
Since this is the most viewed video of this topic I'll leave this here
DTS X
IS THE WINNER
sound is much wider you'll hear more details like a basketball bouncing fading away from one of the speakers and the bass in more refined it feels clear
Its more IMMERSIVE
more controllable
Dolby Atmos
Is really good because it's louder as it uses more compressions than DTS which is bad cause you loose some details the bass is boomy alot of rumble so is perfect for action stuff thats why is more popular in Cinema
Sound basically comes from everywhere you feel surrounded
Extra:
Linear pcm is the OG it's uncompressed which mean every detail is conserved but its not that loud and unfortunately it doesn't have upfiring speaker
So as you see nothing is perfect everything has its downsides so it really is up to you what you prefer
DTS-X is better, while dolby atmos is a money grab and selling fog
Bro, your music is way too loud and distracting. Your voice should be the top priority, but other than that it was a great video
Thanks
Try listening in Atmos
Agree. His advice is far more important than the background music.
It’s not even close, Atmos has so much more content than DTS:X.
Can you elaborate on that please?
not at all dts is way better
Dts x is Wiser
I believe what they're trying to say is that there is more content mixed with Atmos than DTS: X. Don't see how that makes it better though.
Is dts-x the same as neural x? My receiver supports dolby atmos and neural x.
You should include Auro 3D, very popular format in Europe. Auro 2D upmixer sounds fantastic, much better then Dolby and DTS-X counterparts.
Hey Dante you have a supported device with Auro? Mind sharing your personal experience?
@@GearlyReviews Marantz SR 7013 with Harman Kardon speakers, 5.2.4 configuration (front and rear heights). Auro 2D lifts the "veil" from the speakers and treble sound much, much better (and pleasing to the ear). Native Auro 3D blu ray movies for example The Dark Tower and Inferno sound absolutly fantastic. Such a pity that you Americans have no clue about Auro 3D.
That’s a phenomenal setup
@@MrDante10no got the same av receiver with klipsch RP 8060 Dolby Atmos towers and RP 504 c center channel .. tried Auro 3 D and sounds amazing !
Kung Fu Panda 3 was recorded in Auro 3D. The Marvel films decode in Auro 3D. I use a Denon 6300 amplifier with the Auro software upgrade which is now standard on the Denon 6500 which is the current model.
I didnt think it mattered UNTIL I watched 'The Ring' back in the day. I had been watching the Dolby sound track and once day noticed in the sound options the DTS track and thought, why not and off I went. I noticed IMMEDIATELY a huge difference between the two. Dolby had a lot of echo and noise, that white noise sound, and was crackly, oh but not DTS. DTS sounded like the difference between a live performance of a band or artist versus a studio recording. DTS had no noise or static, it sounded like it was recorded in a noise dampered studio room. I couldnt believe how clear the opening scene to 'The Ring' sounded with all that rain falling. I also LOVE watching Se7en with its DTS track over its Dolby for the same reason and finally, Batman and Batman Returns on the original DVD with DTS option, my movie collection will always keep that option there versus the bluray and UHD version for that reason alone.
They may say its all preference. Ive since lost hearing in my left ear so I cant enjoy surround like I once did, but my preference is ALWAYS going to be DTS and like he said, DTS will always make it simple for you. My home theater and walls have always had and will always continue to have a DTS poster on the wall, DTS is the way to go, and its less expensive. Superior sound that overall costs less? Now you know who your real friends are. Its like supporting Microsoft or supporting Sony
I had listened to both mix and I still think dts-x is better with better clear bass and surround clearly so for me I enjoy watching movies much better in dts-x

Thought I had it going on. Bragged my home theater sounded better than most theaters. Until I saw Angel Has Fallen in Atmos. So now I'm totally upgrading. Onkyo reciever, dual 12' subs, and upper speakers
When are you getting in Wayne?
@@GearlyReviews reciever here. Waiting on my new center and subwoofers. Audio rack came in yesterday
Uh, what? Atmos is on WAY more releases than DTS:X. Early object audio compatible products didn't even feature DTS:X, although some added it in firmware updates. I'd say maybe one out of ten home releases features DTS:X versus Dolby Atmos.
How dare you insult dtsx??? Lol 😂
I ❤️ DTS X ULTRA BECAUSE IT SUPPORTS LOSSLESS AUDIO 🔥🔥🔥
The easter egg dude at 1:35 freaked me out LOL
Hahahaha
i have a lx53 for quite a long time now. lately i noted sonething against my belief. i was listening to surround sound with more detail and texture to every sound and when i checked the format it was playing - it was in stereo mode which i could not believe, caz i heard the sounds moving around . i rewinded the scene and checked again and the sound did move around me in stereo mode - confirmed!!!. with 2 ears we have, everything we percieve moving around us , is just our mind (pro logic) decoding it. so if the recording has been done rightly even with 2 speakers the sound will move around us. and now when manufacturers want to sell more channels - new recievers and more speakers i find it not such an effective or efficient solution. spending more on room accoustics (thick curtains, thick carpets and wooden walls) would be more yielding.
Thanks for sharing
I prefer DTS, DTS has a higher bit rate and clear a sound, well Dolby gives you the effect that the movie is happening in your room, DTS gives you the affect that you were there
hmmm, i have the complete opposite experience on your second point. DTSX is more pronounced but it also collapses the soundfield a bit, more in your face. Dolby Atmos to me does a better job of making the speakers disappear and make the ambient sound stage huge.
How to get the best surround sound experience in Headphones?
What’s your budget a Nanda?
Headphones are the only setup that can deliver true surround sound
Checkout Virtual Barber Shop - ruclips.net/video/IUDTlvagjJA/видео.html
(its better with earphones)
That barber shop video had me turning my head. Crazy!
by listening to this ruclips.net/video/TvcYBarNorM/видео.html
mrmoo FALSE AS HELL. Actual surround sound speakers are the best way. That video literally just uses direction mics and little tricks to make sound seem like it’s coming from a different direction. Atmos and dts x is way beyond that because the source of the sound actually IS in those places instead of tricks. Headphones literally have just 2 speakers one on each ear. When u actually have speakers above and beyond you along with a typical 5.1 setup then shit changes drastically.
This just doesn't matter because both formats are on all the hardware options just like past audio formats. But there are far more Atmos films being released on Blu Ray
Which audio set up do you use yourself if we may ask?
@@GearlyReviews I have to use both. The setup I use depends on what soundtrack the Blu Ray uses. The majority of my 4k blu ray collection has Atmos soundtracks but a few occasional discs use dtsx. The movie studios determine which one you use.
Dolby Atmos is far superior in object placement and sound levels and quality. DTS has always been to loud for music and effects making vocals hard to hear without increasing the vocal channel for every DTS movie.
4:48 As to my knowledge, there was a format war between BluRay vs HD DVD, not DVD.
A review about audio with a video that actually has good audio 🤣
_Back in the days before Blu-ray DTS sounded better because of its higher bit rate, but today they’re flexibility takes number one just like you said_
I love DTSx on Windows. Much better height separation and I can hear every instrument in the song. For gaming, most use Dolby Atmos and while not perfect, it is better than standard stereo.
I wish my Samsung phone had DTS virtual X over Dolby Atmos that the fruit company popularised
I am Getting a sound bar and I don’t know which Sandbar is the best value for your money Because IJust got a new tv Panasonic 4K too and I’m just wondering what’s a really good sound bar for it thank you I hope you have a great day?

Ironically, the sound in this video is terrible. Hissing, hums, noise, ...
What do you mean
@@GearlyReviews Your recording is garbage. Did you listen to it? Kind of killing any credibility about HIFI
I haven’t seen both sound mix’s on the same disc,. But when comparing the two on multiple different films I have found DTS:X more accurately reproducing sound effects and 3D immersion than Dolby atmos. Objects sonically appear exactly where they should be in regard to what I’m seeing on my display. And DTS is and has always been mastered louder than Dolby.
Hey Hicks which setup do you use
I gave my explanation on why i thought DTS was better. And it’s not because it’s mastered louder.
Gearly Reviews I use a onkyo RZ840 with paradigm studio fronts, Center and surrounds. And I use 4 in ceiling speakers and a svs ultra 13 sub.
@@corporalhicks86 DTS X would be better if it was actually used for more than a handful of films, most don't support it so saying "it sounds better" is blatantly false when comparing on the same film as when no DTS X or Atmos support is present the audio defaults back to either 7.1 or 5.1 surround. My headphones came with DTS X for Headphones 2.0 but Atmos has far better support so I use it more.
@@acurisur most 4k blurays I buy are dtsx
i feel dts digs deep in the height channels - atmos is subtle
So wait, I do not want to sound like an idiot or anything but I am trying to learn to the best of my ability. If I have like a 5.1 system connected with an optical to the bluray player, and the movie and the player supports dts, is that considered dts with a 5.1?
compare a soundbar and proper ATMOS setup and u wont recommend the soundbar
Bro, it's not magic.
This works from playing with output latencies. This is why it works with two speakers. Dolby Atmos for Headphones. There's 3D/Spatial audio on all kinds of stereo set ups that gives the ILLUSION of "3D" sound.
It's because of minor differences in latencies which give an illusion of sound being in a certain area.
I have DTS:X, DTS:Headphone X, DTS:X Home Theatre... and on the other side, I have Dolby Atmos for Headphones and Dolby Atmos for Home Theater.
Combine that with the S1220A codec and actually downloading the proper Realtek drivers FOR the onboard audio (and not being an idiot and using USB headphones and choosing wired headphones so you can use these technologies), I can also control the dual op amps on my motherboard and set them to extreme. You also want Sonic Studio 3 to crank the bass and treble up.
With all of these options, I can blow anyone's headphones out. I'm talking... ruin your headphones. I like that amount of leeway in power.
Anyways, Dolby Atmos for Headphones has WAY more options to tweak your headphone experience in. Gaming, Movie, Speaking, Music, etc. And settings within each of those. And the Gaming setting has an even extra option.. "Performance mode". Yeah, talk about being able to look at where footsteps are coming from. That's what you want. I know on replays I look like a hacker using this, but it's just that good.
Also, Dolby Atmos is far louder than DTS:X.
It's not that DTS is bad. It's totally not bad. I just prefer Atmos. It was supporting 24-bit 48khz max, but I think it may do 24-bit, 96khz now. Don't quote me on that. Not that it matters. 24-bit, 48khz is more than enough data.
i have a 7.1.4 setup and my experience with it so far is great but not fantastic. sometimes it is fixed in wich speaker the audio comes from and sometimes it is really object based audio, much depends on the ''mixers'' capability. the same for the low, sometimes it is deep and sometimes flat. there is not really a standard on wich these new setups have to fulfill. i thought with these new formats problems from older soundtracks would be fixed when they recreated them in atmos or dts:x.
What kind of content do you listen to usually?
Is one of these better for just playing back music? Or would you not want to use something like DTS or Atmos for playing back music?
Based upon my personal experience, DTS used to be better sounding than Dolby Digital. Now Dolby Atmos is way better than DTS:X in my opinion. Most of DTS:X soundtrack sound compressed to me. Atmos is way more dynamic and bass more punchy. The surround effect is quite close between the two formats though.
Which sound system you tested it on Ken?
@@GearlyReviews I used Sony STR-DN 1080 AV receiver, Epos speakers and Hsu Research big subwoofer (7.1) setup then. Subwoofer is 15 inch with 600 watts. I don't have height channels yet. I rent blu-ray movies. Some have DTS:X and most of them have Dolby Atmos. My general impression is the surround is similar between the two formats, but Atmos has way more dynamics and bass punch. Even the highs are more crisp. DTS:X 's highs is a bit muted. That is my two cents.
Watch netflix altered carbon in dolby atmos sounds so awesome you can random person talking behind the main characters like you would in real life .
DTS is great if you only buy/rent physical movies, but, as far as I can tell, nobody streams DTS X. And since streaming seems to be the way that most consumers, unfortunately, are heading, I can't see DTS being around for much longer, other than in theaters.
Great point we didn’t make Steve
Here's a step-by-step tutorial of how to get atmos or dts x surround sound out of your soundbar-
*YOU BLOODY CAN'T*
Now it's time for big renovation of dts company. Especially search for new smart CEO. I really loved dts sound since the beginning of dts 6 channels - sharp and clear than dolby digital 4 channels. The genuine dts - discrete sound comes, please.
The virtual sound is not so good - don't do it again.
Which system do you currently use it on?
You’ve got it ass backwards. Dolby Atmos is far more widely implemented
than DTS-X. Also, your description of object based surround is inaccurate.
Can you elaborate Ted?
Gearly Reviews Sorry to be hard on you but your video is inaccurate even if well produced.
First, as stated, there are far more movies in Dolby Atmos than DTS-X. In fact, I can’t think of any DTS-X movies although I’m sure there’s a few.
Secondly, object-based sound is substantively different than surround sound. Here is a quote from Audio-Xpress:
The panoramic motion of the sound is in fact translated using spatial (positional) metadata and the resulting reproduction sounds like the sound moves from left, up above our head, and to the right as it would if we had multiple speaker channels. Only we don’t “have channels.” We have just the information about the sound relative position or provenance and a different playback system that is able to generate an immersive experience.
To further elaborate: object based sound dynamically moves sound from one speaker to the next whereas “surround sound” assigns sound to a statically fixed channel in a 5.1 or 7.1 format.
@@tedtimmis8135 Jurassic park and Fast and Furious are 2 big franchises that went DTS:X. Also this isn't entirely accurate either both Atmos & DTS:X (at least in the home theater implementation) have a core true-hd or master audio 5.1 or 7.1 bed mix for the lower channels and main soundtrack, then specific sounds are encoded on top of that and able to be moved around independently and dynamically in real time based on the output channel configuration, so it's a hybrid with most audio data being fixed and only portions having the meta data which is why they are backwards compatible also.
Antimonkat All true but I don’t think this contradicts anything I said.
Consumer DTS: X is, simply put, a channel based format that is encoded as 7.1.4 (standard) or 7.1.5 (IMAX Enhanced). You can mix soundtracks with objects, but you can no longer output a DTS: X soundtrack with objects. You have a choice of 11.1 or 12.1.
DTS: X PRO adds matrix extraction and upmixing techniques to expand these fixed tracks to 32 speaker locations, but again, it's not discrete audio information.
Consumer Dolby Atmos tracks, when encoded correctly (something Disney rarely does), can scale from 5.1.2 all the way to 24.1.10 with a combination of channels and 3D objects.
I had ever seen the movie "DRAGON HEART" composed sound with dts 6.1 channel. It's amazing sound. DTS 6.1 can create overhead surround sound without height speakers. DTS 6.1 sound is so sharper and clearer than every dolby. DTS 6.1 is very much clearer in the sound position. It's so immersive, especially rainy scenes, dragon flying overhead, and the plane or helicopter ( for other movies). I really love dts 6.1 and the best format SDDS 7.1. Do not understand why Sony company does not dedicate SDDS to consumer home theater.
Notice the part where the reviewer states that's there's not much appreciable difference in performance between
the two formats, all things considered! Interesting.
I personally more appreciate that DTS X and it's flexibility over Dolbys more encapsulated approach, namely the limitations it places, and its drawbacks for home application! (Calling for Rear surrounds to be near ear level behind the listener's, distracting to closer seats!)
Ive said this all along, and that's that quality over quantity! DTS X allows the more flexibility and thus more options for better system performance across more variables
Hey Alexander- thanks for that. Which setup do you use
@@GearlyReviewsHello, and thanks again for your informative video!
Im a custom AV guy. I use and sell various systems for my customers needs. Thank you
not really....they are just guidelines for optimal sound, that will sound better if done that way for BOTH formats, surrounds should be ear leval for both and both can compensate if they aren't, to a degree but it's a comprimise and one doesn;t really make a better one than the other, plus since the end user is going to encounter both audio formats on a regular basis so you should set up speakers in an way ideal for both formats. DTS may not include speaker height in the specification, but it will sound better if you follow the dolby guidelines and dolby will still sound pefectly acceptable/great even if you dont follow the guidelines exactly, honestly that's what a good avr and room correction like audyssey or dirac is for..
@@Antimonkat Hi Antimonkat, I disagree wholeheartedly on this topic. And that comes from over 20 years as an AV home theater professional, as well as enthusiast. However as everyone has a different system, lifestyle, and tastes, options will always vary. So these are just my onions from my experiences.
However, yes Dolby AT HOME is dictating rear surrounds as positioned AT ear level. And i find that TERRIBLE option, since sll rear side position seats get BLASTED in the ear by a dominating DISTRACTING rear side speaker, which idealy should be at least 6 feet off the ground and NON localiseable, pulling your attention away from the movie and distracting from the main soundstage! I don't care what anyone says, that low rear speaker will be there blaring distraction for anyone sitting a few feat from it at ear level! NOT good!! And no amount of room correction software can EQ or balance that out in relation to the other further away seating.
However this isn't the case in large commercial theaters, where everything is up high relatively anyway.
Again, this is my preference, and i prefer surrounds to simply fill in, not dominate and draw attention to themselves, balance wise.
My 2 cents
@@alexanderscott3790 so put your speakers up high ( i have In the past due to windows) and if you want and are able set them up as dipole for a diffuse sound if that's what you like..no one is saying you can't do that including Dolby. The format doesn't prevent you from doing any of that. I mean best practice is to have your seats 6+ feet off the back and side walls anyway for bass management and to get off the reflective surfaces anyway so if you have your seats against the back wall to where you're getting blasted by your surrounds you're already off spec anyway so do what you need for your space it's fine. When i had my surrounds near the ceiling it didn't detract from my viewing experience.
Past 20 years? At the end of the 1990s there was the Aureal Vortex A3D sound card which could do spatial audio, including heights for games supported. That technology was amazing. It already was object-based, and could do realtime sound occlusion and reverb. What we see today is that finally Hollywood catched up with a 25-year tech. Dolby is a patent-troll company just like Creative (who drove Aureal into banckrupcy with patent-trolling and fiested on its stuff).
Please do a video for dts: x and dts: virtual x....does having one mean you have the other?
Same is the confusion, in budget soundbar
Cheapest way to experience Atmos is to throw on a pair of AirPods and watch it through your appletv
Regardless of the the two formats it really boils down to the movie director on how they use the height channels. I speak more for atmos as its a far more popular and widespread format. Two examples of using atmos well would be Quite Place and Ready Player One. And hate to say it but them up-firing soundbars are a gimmick that don't really work, give me a 2.1 any-day of the week.
You have hands on experience Jimmy? We would love to hear it if you have a minute
I sit at my pc, and then the up firing speakers _really_ do not work. Though the few games that do support it (3.1.2 in my case) are quite good.
Up firing can work but it depends on the movie. Some movies will sound better with up firing.
U want really good atmos watch godzilla vs kong or transformers age of extinction dvds are best and I have upfiring floor speakers from klipsch
I've always liked DTS.
I have always found DTS:X to have less harmonic distortion and have a much greater sound in the quiet parts of the dynamic range.
I believe that that atmos is more powerful and more impactful, but I think DTS has much more clear and nice to listen to sound that you feel around you, instead of in you
Agreed. Dolby Atmos is definitely more aggressive, but DTS:X seems to have slightly better atmospherics. To each their own, but I will take the more aggressive mix any day. Dolby Atmos for the win.
@@classicgalactica5879 for me it all depends on the movie which is why I’m glad both of them exist! For a movie like Mad Max you need a really aggressive mix to put you inside the action but for films like Avatar where it all relies on world building and the atmosphere of the setting, I think a more subtle yet intricate mix like DTS:X would provide
hey bro... i have a logitech g430 7.1 headset.. i just noticed today that there were these 2 formats ... so idecided tro check out your channel for much information... i am still confused whether to choose the DOLBY surround sound or the DTS : X format... i can choose these 2 .. which one do you think is the best for gaming.. id ont need a lot of sound thoguh i just ned pin point accuracy of enemy gunfire and footsteps.... it would be really great if you could naswer me... and i really liked your video with all these demonstartions and alot of clips .... GOOD ONE!!!
I don't know about the headphones you have. However I am ordering Sony MDR-HW 700 Bluetooth headset which comes with a decoder that plugs into your device. Decoder has buttons for different modes like Cinema etc. Available on EBay from Japan or used internationally.
When you say DTS itself, you get the majesty and finesse of good ol' DTS. Atmos sounds like a barbie on steroids. DTS works wonders on any setup and remains precise in clarity and depth.
All hail DTS!
I'm running 5.2.4 with 4 wall mounted height channels close to the ceiling. I don't have much experience with Dts-X as I simply don't have much content with that format right now. I have more content with Dolby Atmos, Dolby Audio or Dolby Digital. From what I understand, all of those can be output as Dolby Atmos via your Atmos-capable receiver. At least that's what I've read. I also use DTS-Neural X quite a bit as it upsamples non-Atmos and non-Dts-x content to simulate Dts-x. I find that Atmos in certain scenes is awesome, but only in certain scenes. I feel like Neural-X throws more content to your height channels throughout the length of your movie or show than Atmos does, which to me is great. I personally feel like I get a better experience with Neural-X than Atmos. And I like that it works with old dvds or blu-rays that don't have Atmos/Dts-x. Try Neural X with Lone Survivor and tell me that isn't immersive.
There is an error in this video.
DTS:X uses metadata for 3D object based sound as Atmos and needs height channels. DTS Virtual:X doesn't need heights...
dts:x without ceiling speakers is like Atmos without them, it's silly and you're missing out on the full experience and intent. Also Atmos is on WAY like probably 4x or more titles than dts:x is and both are supported on the majority of equipment, it's rare for hardware to support one and not the other, and when that happens, it's typically Atmos thats included at the exclusion of DTS:X when DTS:X is included instead of Atmos, it's often DTS Virtual X, not "real" DTS:X so calling it a novelty (over DTS:X, really both still kinda are) is kinda laughable, you even say it's winning later in the video. Both formats support up mixing, variable layouts, dialog (at a minimum, center channel) gain. I like how you say DTS is free, and yet your own graphic shows it isn't, lol, less, but not free. Not sure where your info about one being easier to mix is coming from either, they are pretty similar involving the placement of objects rather intuitively. You realize up until recently DVD still outsold Blu-ray and still make up a significant market share even today, DVDs are still produced and often included with blu-ray disc combo packs, not to mention blu-ray players can play DVD just fine so where do you get one side (presumably dvd) having lost and this inherent compatibility issue from? You don't go in to audio differences between them hardly at all, and your verdict is consumers probably can't tell the difference between them and most equipment can play both without issue so how is one better than the other by any reason let alone 5? cost of equipment doesn't really pan out becauae as you said, most support both and there are cheap options that support either so essentially a non factor, "ease of mix" is also fairly irrelevant especially to the end user, and both are in reality about equally flexible with a degree of fairly equal compromise so... Also, I hate your background music, stupid air horn....
DTS X can be set up with height channels with the speakers attached to a wall. Unless you are going to put some really powerful speakers over your head then it is not worth it. And even then not every movie will take advantage of it in the same way.
Gotta add the mixed race couple for extra diversity
You need to read up on the technologies more... While Atmos gives the option to add height channels to play sound through, any Atmos audio streams are placed in a virtual 3D space which are then decoded into whatever speaker configuration you happen to have. Dolby Atmos is way more than just "added height channels".
How so
Both DTS-X and Atmos are Object based. Each sound is an object that can be moved independently within the sound-stage. Both Dts-X and Atmos are far more than adding 2 channels.
Object-based cinema soundtracks consist of a rendering in 3D space made of "objects", up to 128 for Atmos and unlimited for DTS:X, which are designed to adapt to whatever speakers are in a cinema.

When you talked about how one format had to win, DVD vs Bluray, that answer is too obvious. I think you meant to say HD-DVD vs Bluray. BTW, the wrong format won.
Anyway, why are we even worried about Atmos? Add the speakers and then push the DTS:X button. Atmos always talks about “Atmos enabled soundtracks” while DTS:X says it works with any codec. I take that to mean that almost any way you play your multi-channel movie DTS:X will give the Atmos effect. Why would you NOT push the DTS:X button? We should be calling them DTS:X speakers.
Maybe the prime consideration is movie availability
Disney, HBO MAX, Netflix have ATMOS movies
They don’t say DTX, PLEASE CLARIFY
