The Sonos Arc soundbar is one of the best-sounding standalone options for getting Atmos at home.Īs referenced in the previous section, there are also Dolby Atmos compatible soundbars, like Sony's 3.1-channel HT-G700, which can decode an Atmos signal, but doesn't include height channels at all.

While it's not going to be as immersive as full surround soundbars, it does offer powerful, premium sound and impressive expansion of Dolby Atmos content thanks to its height-channel speakers.

The $799 Sonos Arc referenced above is a prime example, offering up- and side-firing drivers, but no surround speakers or a wireless subwoofer (though you can add both options from Sonos). Vizio's M-series 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos soundbar, also comes with up-firing speakers (two instead of the Q950A's four), a wireless subwoofer, and wired surround sound speakers for less than $500.īut what if you don't want so much clutter? One of the biggest trends in the genre is the rise of more pared-down Dolby Atmos soundbars that drop some of the speakers for simplified setup and placement. But that's not the only way to get full surround.

Premium Atmos soundbars, such as Samsung's aforementioned Q950A, come with up-firing speakers alongside (usually) a wireless subwoofer and wireless surround speakers for impressive immersion. The easiest thing to do is to buy a Dolby Atmos soundbar. You should still expect to pay at least $500 (and often a lot more)-but it's the best route for novices and those on tight budgets. While not as immersive or dynamic as a traditional setup, a Dolby Atmos soundbar is the easiest, most affordable solution. That said, such a system requires a good deal of space, plenty of speaker wire, and is still likely to push past the $2,000 mark. Companies like Denon, Yamaha, and Marantz offer relatively affordable Dolby Atmos receivers, while speaker setups from the likes of Polk, Klipsch, SVS, and others can help keep your costs relatively low.

If you've got the funds to install speakers around a room (and potentially in your ceiling), you'll be rewarded with powerful Dolby Atmos immersion. If you want the real deal, you'll want a bar with at height channels at the very least, recognized by the extra "2" or "4" in the bar's stated channel configuration.

If your soundbar only offers, say, a 2.1 or 3.1 configuration, you can still watch movies and TV shows that support Dolby Atmos, but your soundbar will either be utilizing a more basic format, or will try to "virtualize" the Dolby Atmos experience using digital signal processing. So I know the HDMI port will accept a 4k HDR Atmos signal but the PS5 won’t do Atmos unless it’s plugged directly into the soundbar, and I have to give up either 4k resolution or HDR support.It's also important to note that you can still send Dolby Atmos to sound systems that don't have height channels-you just won't be getting the real deal.

This can display 4k with both HDR and Atmos enabled, however if I unplug the Sky Q box and plug the PS5 in, I only have 4k HDR with no Atmos. I know the tv is set up correctly as I have plugged the PS5 into the same HDMI input as I use with a Sky Q box.

This doesn’t really help and it seems a bit pointless having a 4k blu ray player with a 4k movie and setting everything at 1080p!

They suggest I keep it on 1080p and they stated “Hopefully a System Update will update the resolution soon and you can use the Dolby Atmos System”. I’ve emailed Playstation and they said they can’t really help because I'm using “a lot of hardware components”. Alternatively, I have Atmos at 2160p without HDR. However the TV will only output HDR at 1080p not 2160p if I do this. The only way I can make the PS5 output Atmos is to plug it directly into the soundbar. As far as I can see, these are the only settings I need to change to enable Atmos. I have the PS5 set to Dolby under settings\sound\audio output\audio format (priority) and to Bitstream under in the disc player app’s settings. However, if I play a 4k blu ray with HDR and Dolby Atmos support, my soundbar doesn’t output Atmos. The PS5 will display HDR at 4k with this setup. I have the PS5 plugged into a Samsung QE49Q70R TV with the included HDMI cable (I’ve also tried a spare HDMI 2.1 cable that I had lying around.) I also have a Sony HT-X8500 soundbar plugged in via the TV’s ARC port with an HDMI 2.1 cable. I’ve just managed to finally get hold of a PS5 and I'm having difficulty in setting it up correctly for use with 4k blu rays.
