A low-cost headset may not be to the audio quality of something like theTurtle Beach Stealth Pro, but with 3D Audio activated, you’ll be able to hear almost every footstep of an enemy creeping up or every clank in a darkened hallway in the most eerie of horror games. The quality of 3D Audio is hard to explain, but once you experience it, there’s no going back.AdvertHowever, what if we told you that 3D Audio also translates toTV and movies? Sure, many of you will already know of this, but it’s something thatSonyhasn’t highlighted all that much (for whatever reason) that 3D Audio works just as well on movies as it does video games.“3D Audio also works with 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD movies,”announcedRedditor Nate-Pierce to fellow users on the thread. “I tried it myself via a Pixar Blu-ray movie with a home theatre calibrator, playing all 7.1 channels. With 3D Audio for headphones enabled, it creates a virtual surround sound experience, where I sensed the distinct surround left and right channels. Turning it on/off was a night and day difference.”“This is honestly a great way to enjoy a near-home-theatre-like experience from a minimalistic approach. A wired connection to the console is, of course, recommended than the wireless controller input for the best audio quality possible,” they continued.If you’ve not already had 3D Audio enabled on your PlayStation 5 console, simply go into ‘Settings’ then ‘Sound’ and select the desired 3D Audio choices for TV speakers and headphones.
