How is Enhanced Headphone Mode Sea of Thieves different than Dolby Atmos, DTS, Windows Sonic, etc?

Everyone hears sound differently, and each game is unique in its design. A third-person RPG game has a very different style and perspective from a competitive first-person shooter....  and your ears look very different than another pirate's ears!

This is where Enhanced Headphone Mode by Immerse comes in, because it's not only tailored to your own unique hearing with a Personalized HRTF, but it's also customized to the unique sound design of Sea of Thieves in collaboration with the Rare Audio Team.  This is very different than standard platform-level solutions (Atmos, Tempest, DTS, Win Sonic) which treat all games and people as the same with the exact same HRTF and tuning. 

Enhanced Headphone Mode works inside the game engine to spatialize all sounds uniquely to the sound design goals and visual perspective, and personalizes to how you hear sound in the real world.  This is what makes it so different than any other spatial or surround sound option you'll hear out there.

The result with Enhanced Headphone Mode is a very different listening experience than a one-size-fits-all solution.

We hope you'll give it a listen with your 14-day free trial and hear it for yourself!
