Dolby is a tech company that develops proprietary audio and imaging technologies that the audiovisual industry uses for film, TV, streaming, gaming, and hardware. While Dolby isn't the only audio technology option, it's widely adopted.
Speakers, TVs, consoles, smartphones, tablets, projectors, vehicles, and many more products support Dolby Audio and many of those support Dolby Atmos as well. The main difference between these two technologies is that Dolby Audio focuses on 2D audio experiences, while Atmos brings a 3D experience to life. Still, there's more to know about them. After all, Dolby Audio is also the umbrella term for all of Dolby's audio technologies, such as Dolby Digital and Digital Plus. It ensures playback and surround sounds to sound consistent, and it's key to mono and stereo experiences.

For example, by taking advantage of Dolby Atmos-capable products, like AirPods, users can enjoy a 360-degree sound experience with head-tracking. Apple also pushed this technology for its Apple TV shows, making the audiovisual experience even richer. Other music and video streaming services also offer this experience if you have devices that support it., Dolby Atmos can transform a 360º surround experience that you could only have in a proper studio into a technology that can be mimicked into something like your AirPods. Apple demonstrated how"Rocket Man" by Elton John sounds in a studio. While the loudness and very expensive studio audio products gave me chills and a tear or two, I can still have a similar . The next time you see a product with Dolby Atmos support, you'll know it also features Dolby Audio, but not necessarily vice versa.
