Actual "Atmos" requires 5+ speakers placed around you from different locations. Atmos on desktop only provides a software simulation to make things sound like they come from 3 dimensions. Software Atmos will work with any headphone and create a Surround sound-like experience. Personally in my exp software surround sound never works well and makes things sound worse and poorly placed in space in comparison to just regular stereo.

Dolby atmos can be used with any set of HPs, as it is just a software DSP. Although, I did a free trial, and didn't find it much different from the surround mode windows offers, and both just screw with the sound too much, for my taste. At least, that was my experience. Maybe it would be cool for gaming or something. But for music, it just made things sound, well, like a DSP was screwing with the sound signature. Definitely NOT an improvement, especially with live music. But again, this is just my preference, you may think it makes things sound better, in which case, yes, it would work just fine. The app just processes the signal, and outputs it to whatever is hooked up, be it a set of cans, or speakers, which simply turn the signal into audible sound.

shkdwnstI have Atmos, but I use it purely for gaming. Definitely better than Windows Sonic for that application, and it does improve the sound of some music on lower quality headphones. I turn it off whenever I am running higher quality cans though.

shkdwnstAs a gamer Dolby atmos on when playing games on the PC as it really does help with immersion and pinpointing player movement (footsteps etc).
On my mobile device i turn it off as it makes music sound abit werid imho.

They can play whatever sound signal you send in. So if your PC will send sound altered by Atmos for headphones software then you will get what you send - a pseudo virtual sound that is way worse in all aspects then pure stereo sound.

If you're asking this then probably not. These are what you'd call "normal" headphones without any processing, so unless the dolby atmos surround you're speaking of can be applied to any stereo headphone the answer would be no

The irony is beautiful. Guy makes comment on the internet inferring that other guys on the internet are dumb; Then new guy enters dropping wisdom, teaching humility. Seems you actually can have expectations of people on the internet!

AndrewMilkyNo idea what you're hoping for, but if it's an apocalyptic saga or drama series you've come to the wrong theatre. Go rehearse your lines elsewhere

Have a pair of HIFI Man 4XX?
Drop everything you're doing and go to your streaming account (I prefer Spotify and Tidal) and pull up (search for) Ulrich Schnauss & Jonas Munk then find track 7 (Chasing Rainbows). Strap in and plug in your amp, and hit play. You can thank me later! No streaming account? Try this YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_mE0TE9a-Y&t=1715s

Beautiful Speakers
Great pair of desktop speakers! Pairing with a DAC will really bring out the best in them (not required but if you have one, try it out!). Great value deal here from Drop.

Recommends for 6XX replacement cable(s)?
The wires on the left channel plug, just before the socket are acting up and I need to replace the cable for my Sennheiser 6XX headphones. Looking at Amazon, I see actual Sennheiser cables but one of them does not have the removable 1/4 plug (I use a DAC with 1/8" jack), and I would rather not add even more connection unknowns by using an adapter down to 1/4", and the other Sennheiser cable is far too long for my usage (looking for around 2 meters or just a touch longer. The 6XX have been around for a while and I'm sure I'm not the first to need a replacement cable. I'm actually surprised that Drop doesn't offer them perpetually like they do with the ear pads, which ironically my stock pads are holding up just fine. I'm not looking for $100+ cables here, just a solid replacement for what the 6XX came with. Thanks!
