Keep in mind that Dolby Atmos or spacial audio as they also call it does not require Apple headphones with the H1 chip at all. I don't know if there is a drawback when you say that Dolby Atmos should be always on insrtead of automatic, but if you turn it to Alwahys on you hear the music which is available in the Dolby Atmos format using any old (or new) headset. Keep in mind that while some of the high-end Bluetooth headsets sound very good, a wired headset will still sound better. I would not be surprised if in a tru test the finding would be that you can get a wired headset which sounds as good as those $300 to $600 Bluetooth headsets so many people now buy for a lot less. But to each their own.

I do not live in the US so I can not buy directly from Apple, so I always wonder for how long has an item been lying on the shelve in the apple store and how does this affect the battery. I purchased an iPod Touch 3 years ago and the battery is almost dead and I can not have it replaced. I got the airpods almost two years ago and one of the two pieces does not charge and I have not used it so often but I made sure that the case stayed fully charged.

My question is therefore as to how do I know if the Beats Flex which I can purchase here in SA has the H1 or W1 chip?

Since Apple used a 1971 song from Marvin Gaye as an example it would appear that songs can be remastered with Dolby Atmos technology, but that of course will take time and I would not expect that every song in Apple's 75 Million song library will be remastered. And here a more detailed explanation from an article I found online: Apple is bringing Spatial Audio with support for Dolby Atmos to Apple Music. Dolby Atmos is a revolutionary, immersive audio experience that enables artists to mix music so the sound comes from all around and from above. By default, Apple Music will automatically play Dolby Atmos tracks on all AirPods and Beats headphones with an H1 or W1 chip, as well as the built-in speakers in the latest versions of iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Apple Music will be adding new Dolby Atmos tracks constantly and will be curating a special set of Dolby Atmos playlists to help listeners find the music they love. In addition, albums that are available in Dolby Atmos will have a badge on the detail page for easy discovery. At launch, subscribers can enjoy thousands of songs in Spatial Audio from some of the world’s biggest artists and music across all genres, including hip-hop, country, Latin, pop, and classical. Apple Music is working with artists and labels to add new releases and the best catalog tracks, as more artists begin to create music specifically for the Spatial Audio experience. Together, Apple Music and Dolby are making it easy for musicians, producers, and mix engineers to create songs in Dolby Atmos. Initiatives include doubling the number of Dolby-enabled studios in major markets, offering educational programs, and providing resources to independent artists.

What I don’t get, and maybe I’m missing something. When I listen to a song that I’ve previously downloaded, shouldn’t it also play using the new dolby surround sound? I’ve set it to dolby on automatically in settings, but I noticed a difference at first, but now, music sounds the same whether I turn dolby on or off, just to experiment. I am using he Beats Solo headphones. I’d appreciate any advice.

I was informed that with certain headsets from Apple the feature would be automatically turned on, but you can also go into Settings > Music and under the Audio heading look for the Dolby Atmos entry and change it from Automatic to Always On. Once I did this I plugged in my somewhat high-end V-Mota wired headset and listened to some of the demos Apple has available in the Music app under the Browse tab. One of them was demonstrating the difference between Mono, Stereo and Dolby Atmos (also called spacial audio) for the Marvin Gaye song What's Going On. I must admit it did sound pretty impressive and even when I just did this without a headset and with my iPhone lying in landscape mode on my chest just near my chin you can hear the difference. Of course only some music has been recorded or remastered with Dolby Atmos and I guess we'll see if it will really revolutionize music as the guy in the demo claims it will.Apparently Enjoy, Sieghard -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
