I've seen some comments that preference Sonic over Atmos at least on PCs.

This is referring to BR movies if I understood correctly. But what about games? Are their games that support it and if yes, can PS4 do it for games too?
I think it's just the difference of providing it as a service on the console. Overwatch had Dolby Atmos for headphones on the PC long before it became a feature of Windows 10. I don't see any reason why a PS4 game could not support it on their own.
There's also the matter of having to license it and, minus a True Audio implementation, having the CPU cycles to spare.
Noticed some minor bugs with the update:
- Crackling sounds when playing Phantom Dust that was fixed by resetting Headphone audio to stereo uncompressed
- No sound with BC compatible Garou Mark of the Wolves fixed the same way as above
Played with Halo some more with both uncompressed Windows Sonic and I can say for sure that it does help with knowing your position relative to enemies.

I'm guessing paying for the license can solved the same way MS is handling the situation by having u spend $15 for the app.
That's only for the headphone functionality. Outputting object-oriented audio as an Atmos stream to a decoder is free on both Windows 10 and Xbox One.
That's because GPU compute is not being used that heavily on PC, so there are more opportunities available when graphics work is not fully utilizing the GPU where audio work can be slipped in. On consoles this is not the case.
Doly Atmos for headphones with Battlefield 1. So good. Definitely paying for the Atmos app. May end up being a bust if apps/games start rolling their own HRTF, like that Steam Audio, but so far it's done a pretty nice job with any game I've tried. Battlefield 1 is the real standout so far.
Sorry for the necro. Didn't want to spam a new thread.
I'm looking for suggestions for wireless headphones for my Xbox One. I'm trying to keep the budget low $50 or less. Yes, I'm a game peasant. Would be nice if they were also Bluetooth compatible so I can use them with other devices like my phone or PC. Anybody have any direct experience here? Thanks!

I have no experience in this budget, but you can start here

Thanks. After looking there it seems no Xbox compatible wireless headsets are under $100.
I will keep looking.

Found the PDP Gaming LVL50 wireless for $79 on Amazon.
Doesn't seem to support Bluetooth & it uses a USB dongle that I guess uses it's own wireless tech instead of the Microsoft tech.

Ok, you meant headsets and not headphones. Yes I guess that will be difficult below 50$

AFAIK all USB wireless headsets works with xbox, just like ps4. The ones where the USB wireless basically showed as the usual audio output device on windows.
I would suggest getting your favourite regular pair of headphones. And if you need a mic; just buy a modmic and a y-splitter cable. Should save you a lot of money.
I don’t recommend buying headsets anymore. Modmic offers a superior mic for much cheaper and you can attach it to any setup you like.
the Y - cable will be for Xbox. Once you remove your Y cable it works for PC. Take off the modmic; use your headphones as regular listening for other stuff. Most versatile; cheapest option if you already have a headset.

Interesting. Nice recommendation. Will look more into that.
BTW I did find out that RTINGS.com has been reviewing headsets...

Didn't know that. Thanks for the recommendation. That might be an option, but I will need to research it further.
