Welcome to Headphones 2 U, the online headphone specialists!

Dolby Digital and DTS are six-channel digital surround sound systems and are currently the standard in major motion pictures, music, and digital television. They both use the 5.1 speaker format and can be used in 5.1 headphones. The format consists of three speakers across the front and two speakers in the rear. The .1 is a sixth channel called an LFE that is sent to a subwoofer.

 

Dolby Digital uses the AC-3 file format, which any Dolby Digital Decoder can decoder to  produce 5.1 audio. Dolby Digital is the technical name for Dolby's multi-channel digital sound coding technique, more commonly referred to as Dolby 5.1. A six-channel sound coding process (one channel each for front, left, center, right surround, left surround and a sub-woofer or 5.1 headphones) originally created by Dolby for theaters, AC-3 was subsequently adapted for home use and is now steadily becoming the most common sound format for DVD.

 

DTS is an encode/decode process that delivers 5.1 channels of "master quality" audio on CD, CD-R, and DVD. Each DTS encoded disc represents a sonic "clone" of the original film soundtrack perfect for 5.1 headphones.

 

DTS is very similar to AC-3 in it's intended uses.

DTS can also be put onto a CD-R and played back on any CD Player with a digital (S/PDIF or Toslink) digital output which is connected to a DTS receiver (decoder+amplifier). DTS has a superior sound than that of Dolby Digital (AC-3).  For playing back Music in 5.1 headphone surround DTS should be used.
