Xbox Wireless Headset Dolby Atmos and EQ Settings
Hi everyone and welcome back,
When it comes to gaming on the Xbox Series X I always use my Xbox Wireless Headset, and I use them with Dolby Atmos-enabled, let’s check out how to get the best audio from them.

Thanks for the video! I have a question. Do I have to open this app every time I start the Xbox or do the settings remain when I close the app?
Hello there, from what I've tested even if you close the app the settings will remains
@@JULVEXGAMING Thank you so much!
How do you know the dolby atmos app is taking precedence over the xbox accessories app? It seems there are two apps and no way to know which app the headset is using
@@Jon_Dough because when you enable in your Xbox Series X|S the “Dolby Atmos for Headphones” in General->Volume&Audio Output that will take over on the Equalizer profile which you can use instead if you leave the Windows Sonic audio active. Actually you don’t have icons or submenu’s as you might have on PC to be sure what is the output and what that output has as an equalizer, but I’ve tested different audio profiles just to check the differences and whenever you have the Dolby Atmos activated that will always take the precedence
@@JULVEXGAMING excellent thanks very much for the information. What happens if you have Dolby Atmos audio selected for the headset and you play a game that does NOT support dolby atmos? Will it default back to the xbox accesories app setting? I read somewhere that it will try and do some kind of emulated form of dolby atmos when playing non dolby atmos content.
thank you bro, it helped me with the sound of footsteps on the console, thanks
Glad you found it helpful
Thanks I'm looking forward to get an update on how many dots i havw to move the sliders to get to your predetermined eq thanks
Thank you this video is highly needed
Glad you found it helpful!
Thanks! I just bought an Xbox headset and I did not know any of this!!
Thanks! Glad you found it helpful
these are the best settings for battlefield 2042. Sounds really cool, especially: Reloading weapons Steps Grass running.
Glad you found it helpful
@@JULVEXGAMING Please tell me where can I read information about the frequencies of sound? What is responsible for this or that range of kilohertz? Can't find in search engine
@@gamepass7748 you can find a lot of info online, a good starting point is this: www.dolby.com/technologies/dolby-atmos/
hello, i tested this custom setup with this headset and in this application. I tested it playing battlefield V. The souind of the guns)my gun especially) firing was little bit shallow, weak comingout of gun barrel, and still i am not sure the footsteps were coming crisp and clear by enemies all around. But i think generally this is a good setup, havent used it with better sound proccessed games as warzone 3 so i can;t give a clear verdict if its great or not.
Nice video! liked is it possible for you to give the values for your atmos frequencies custom 1 ? I would like to try t them myself Thanks
Thanks! sure, here it is: 32hz -6dB, 64Hz -5dB, 25Hz +1dB or 0, 250Hz +2dB or +3dB, 500Hz +3dB, 1kHz +6dB, 2kHz +9dB, 4kHz +6dB, 8kHz +6dB or +4dB, 16kHz +3dB Keep in mind that all this values are something that might not be the same for everyone, but also can be helpful as a starting point
@@JULVEXGAMING Thanks a million my friend :) yea I know but since we play the same games I can give it a shot a maybe tweak them to my liking. much appreciate it man subbed ;)
Olá,tô usando dolby atmos no xbox series s, fiz a configuração do 5:15, ficou top de mais, perfeito, parabéns valeu pela dica.
Glad you found it helpful
Amigo, tu consegue colocar quantos pontos para baixo e para cima ele fez?
@@ernandoavila1548 Generally, I used -3 on the bass and +3 or +6 on the rest of the freq. But I would suggest you try because hearing sounds or music is different from person to person
Hey this may be a silly question, if you use Dolby access, does the Dolby settings override the eq settings you’ve set for the headphones in the Xbox settings, or does it sort of work in tandem? I’ve got the wired Xbox headset and wondering will I get the same results as the wireless if I use Dolby access
No you have to enable the Dolby on audio settings, once done the Dolby will take place and apply those settings Keep in mind that if you don't change that the default Windows sonic will still be used

Thank you!
i use the xbox 20th anniversary wired headset, are these settings the same, im using the dolby atoms app, i know these are estimated, cheers
Sure, they should be the same
Can you say what numbers high and low you did for the EQ cause it’s a bit annoying trying to eye ball it
Generally, I used -3 on the bass and +3 or +6 on the rest of the freq. But I would suggest you try because hearing sounds or music is different from person to person
@@JULVEXGAMING kiss me
Thanks for vid I subscribed but my headset never came with a Dolby subscription for some reason
Thanks! That's weird, I would check if you have any updates on the headsets, Xbox, and Dolby app too - don't forget to enable the Dolby Atmos in the audio menu on the Xbox. If none of this solves it I would suggest opening a case with Xbox/Microsoft or the place where you bought it.
Hello! I've bought mine less than a month ago, every headset must have the dolby subscription? Mine didn't had anything
Hello there, afaik the Headset comes with a 6 months subscription of Dolby Atmos
I do not have the equalizer option under accessories and I also can not change it to windows sonic from stereo compressed I have the stealth 600 gen 2 max
I doubt it will work with the Stealth 600, this is for Xbox Headsets
How to setup the stealth 700 with Dolby atmos on Xbox serie x please
You could take as a reference the settings on 05:08, keep in mind the results might be different due to the different headsets
Does this work with Wired headsets? I have the Astro A10’s. Can l still use Dolby Atmos with it or does it only work for Wireless headphones?
If the wired headsets support the Dolby yes, but from what I can tell seems the Astros A10 doesn’t support Dolby
@@JULVEXGAMING does the A40 support it ?
the A40 TR does support it
so which is better, Dolby Atmos or DTS headphone X for headset gaming?
In my experience I would say Dolby is the way to go, but what you choose depends on your taste. The best thing is to try both and decide what is the sound you like the most
@@JULVEXGAMING i tried both already, for FPS games (CoD) I prefer Dolby (Spatial audio is the best to hear breath of the enemies lol) and other games (racing, RPG, Horror) I think DTS:X much better
@@PrinceShuffle I believe you can use both of them and get the best from them
I’m trying to set up my new astro A50 headset and I’m playing pubg, mic doesn’t show it’s connected! Any advice?
I would suggest to double check your cables connected to the base and if there is any update, if you can try also to connect it to a PC and use the Astro command software just to be sure the mic is working properly
Do you know how to fix it if it says I own Dolby access but when I click install nothing happens
that's weird try some updates on Xbox, should be installing without issues
hi tell me you also have settings for games like Hellblade, Assassin's, ect
Unfortunately I didn't game Hellblade yet but for Assassin's I tried the default profile Game with detailed selected - if you're not happy with that take as a reference my settings and tweak the frequencies between 500hz and 2Khz; keep in mind that each of us have a different perception of sound/music so something that might be ok for me might not work for you.
@@JULVEXGAMING aso but the setting is also good for shooters like , rainbow six victory calle of dity ect
Everytime I turn my Xbox on I have to change Atmos presets from game to movie and back for it to “engage” any idea why?
that's weird, I tried to replicate it but doesn't happen to me I would suggest to check if there are any updates (headset, app, xbox etc) That might be the case
Hi you have some EQ Setting PUBG pls
check 5:15 those might help or be a starting point
Doesnt let me even choose between anythign in the sound control panel for this wireless headset.
That’s weird I would suggest reinstalling the app or pair again the Headset - check also firmware updates that usually solves most of the issues
Do you know how to fix the mic quality in Xbox parties my friends say it’s really bad and it’s hard to hear me and I have a cheap mic
As a first thing, I would suggest checking if there are some updates on the headset, after that try to monitor your voice through their mic and listen if the quality is terrible - you can do that in Xbox accessories app and mic monitoring
What is volume leveler
that's a level for the dynamic ranges, it depends on the sound design of what you're listening to/gaming you might need to leave it on or off
When I start the Dolby Access application on Xbox Series S, it asks me for payment again, but when I click on it, nothing happens.
I would suggest to check if there are updates, usually that solve it
Thank you for the video. When I go to devices and click on Xbox Accessories my headset doesn't show up for whatever reason. I have the wired version that plugs directly into my controller, so that could be why.
Glad you found it helpful. I think that's the reason why, but for being sure 100% you can try to connect the controller with the USB cable to the Xbox - with the headsets connected to the controller - and open again the Dolby Atmos. Hopefully this might do the trick
@@JULVEXGAMING Unfortunately, there is no way to it into the Xbox. No USB port or anyrhing on the Headset. Just the 3.5mm Jack.
@@bearpaw7007 I mean, leave the headset as they are connected to the controller, then connect the controller itself to the Xbox with the USB cable
@@JULVEXGAMING I'm a dummy. That makes much more sense. Tried it out and it still won't show up. My guess is it just doesn't work with the wired headphones.
@@bearpaw7007 The hope was that with the controller connected Dolby Atmos would have been able to "see", that's not the case unfortunately
Doesn’t the settings from the headset stack with the atmos app settings? That’s what I read anyway
For what I can tell only the mic settings might stack otherwise the Dolby seems to be one used if enabled
Everything is obnoxiously load, and footsteps are barely even noticeable.
I don't think these are good settings from what else I've seen.
