Dolby’s remarkable audiovisual technologies aim to heighten and deepen your experiences, helping you feel more. Per the Dolby website: “It is the heavy downpour in a moody scene. The stunningly vivid sunset in the show’s season finale. The song you feel deep in your chest. The footsteps lurking behind you on the video game battlefield. The voice of a colleague on a call who lives across the globe but sounds like they’re right next to you.” In turn, it offers “the Dolby Difference.”
Whether you are gaming, watching your favorite movie or show, or listening to that new track on repeat, Dolby Atmos enhances the entertainment you love across all of your devices. It goes beyond ordinary listening by transporting you with the breakthrough spatial sound experience that draws you in deeper, so you hear and feel more. It allows creatives everywhere to place each sound exactly where they want it to go, creating a more realistic and truly-immersive audio experience. And per a recent study published online by the Dolby team, nearly 70 percent of Gen Z have recently discovered a song released over a decade ago for the first time, while the same study showed that more than half of adults feel they were “born in the wrong era because of their taste in music”; these and other Dolby findings help to show the universal appeal of both great music and top-notch audio.
