How Dolby Improves Headphone Audio

With Dolby Headphone you’ll be surrounded by sound that’s so realistic, you’ll feel you’re at the center of the action.

It’s an astonishing acoustic illusion, and here’s how it works: when you listen to entertainment through your stereo or home theater system’s speakers, your ears receive sound directly from each speaker and from multiple reflections of the sound on the room’s surfaces and furnishings.

Using powerful digital signal processing technology, Dolby Headphone recreates this audio experience, producing the sonic signature of a speaker system properly placed in a carefully defined acoustic environment. The result is a spacious audio landscape with you at the center.

This natural soundfield eliminates the overloaded sensation that comes from wearing headphones for too long and allows you to listen in privacy for hours longer.
