I am thinking of getting a pair of 7.1 surround sound headphones and i was wondering if i plugged them into the xbox one will they be 7.1 sound or will they be just be in stereo or do i need to get a 7.1 surround sound receiver?

Typically you have a mix amp that plugs into the console. That is where the 7.1 sound comes from. For instance my Astro A50s came with a mix amp.

I really like my HyperX Cloud IIs, but you can only use them without the USB soundcard (the headphones plug into the soundcard via a 3.5mm CTIA jack. They're really comfy and have great sound with or without the 7.1 surround sound (when using it without
the sound card), but obviously will have better sound with the 7.1 surround sound.

Instead of going to a pawn shop to pick up a surround sound system I would really consider a nice pair of 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound headphones. They're worth every penny and you will get a much better sound.

My main quesition is of inputs ad outputs> Trutle beach headphones in the 360 era took Dolby 5.1 inputs and made then Dolby Headphone Output, and was an external device that also wokred in TVs and mobvies players... aslonga as the source was Dlby sound
in. DTS didn't get coded at all, and LPCM beyond 2.0 wouldn't fit in a Toslinlk.

The Turtle Beach DTS:X headphones had DTS 2-track headpone surround outputs, but onl\y accepted Dolby-based inputs, so I can't decode Blu Rays in DTS and expec a surround sound.

It seems to me that Dolby Atmos inputs like Blu Rays sound better in dolby Atmos Headphones than DT5 5.1-DTS 7.1, L

VM 5.1-7.1, and even "lesser dolby modes" 5.1-7.1

Is the Dolby Atmod Headepho0ne app suposed to take ANY of the 3flkavors and tuen them into Dolby Headphone? Or does it only work wiht Dolby Atmos movies? meaing you haver swithc the settings on every non-Atmos disc.

Finally is thee such a ting as a 2-channel headphone surround encoder that takes ANY of the brands and flavords of sound formats and send out 2-yttrack, surround heapdhone f some sort of format. I'd like that for the upstairs TV. Too many DTS movies sound
lackluster and 70% f our BD/3D colection is DTS.

I knw Sony heaadhones have a Doly and DTS input and sound better than pure uncoded 2-track LPCM, but it doesn;t sound as good as Xbox's DTS-> dDolby conversions and then letting the Turetle Beach encode it in 2-Track surrouud headphone. (By the way, does Xbox
One do LPCM 7.1-> Dolby 7.1 ?)
