Definitely. I'm always a bit frustrated my mate doesn't use proper headphones in Apex, when it has such a huge influence on the gameTurning any pair of headphones into a multi-dimensional gateway is always welcomed. It enhances the experience especially in competitive online games.
Damn right! Unfortunately the audio is broken in this game since day one and they haven’t cared to fix itDefinitely. I'm always a bit frustrated my mate doesn't use proper headphones in Apex, when it has such a huge influence on the game
Current Xbox has Dolby AtmosI fucking LOVE it when sound gets the attention it deserves. When Sony were talking about this I found t a bit odd Xbox didn’t have something to compete with it, so it’s good to see this is there as well. Expected, but good news.
Now if only that damn controller can get some new adjustments like the PS5 one.
Are not so much the games with good sound system...never tried Apex but the only One i have found Is r6 siege that you can determinate the position with the footsteps even with tv speakersDefinitely.

Hope Is not something for headphones only
Current Xbox has Dolby Atmos
I Need an incentive to buy a soundbar...Well if it's not then it will depend on the quality of your audio setup.
Most people don't use anything other than their substandard TV speakers and don't know any better.
True. Also I’m not going to spend lots of money on a surround system when most of the time I’m in a party with my mates while having my headset on. Waste of money for meWell if it's not then it will depend on the quality of your audio setup.

Not true. There's tons of YouTube channels that have OSTs, there's live shows like Video Games Live and orchestras all over the world, essays, reports, journalistic articles about gaming music... One can argue about "caring" in hardware related stuff, but Audio in gaming is not even close to underappreciatedAudio is such an underappreciated aspect of videogame design. Good move, Microsoft.
Appreciated by the niche of fans, sure, but it is an afterthought in most game coverage by the media and is rarely showcased as a selling point for new videogame releases.Not true.

And when companies do include audio tech -- like the PS2's optical audio port -- it often goes unnoticed.
Good luck with that. High impedance headphones get no love unless you have dedicated amp/dac or recent motherboards in the past few years. Otherwise, it's just wishful thinking sadly. Wish more manufacturers would put audio more in the Frontline of things.I hope this means the console itself will have an amplified 3.5mm audio jack so that I can use my high end headphones directly.
If you have high end headphones, surely you also have a headphone amp?I hope this means the console itself will have an amplified 3.5mm audio jack so that I can use my high end headphones directly.
