Windows Sonic tricks your brain into thinking sound is coming from multiple directions by creating a virtual audio stage that imitates the physics of real sound. It means it doesn’t make much sense to talk about the use of spatial sound tech in musical experience, as it doesn’t match the requirements.So, for instance, a gunshot in a game coming from the right corner is 'repositioned' so you actually hear it coming from that direction through your headphones.

Windows Sonic for Headphones works with any headphones, earbuds, or headsets and makes all of your movies and games sound more immersive, as well as allowing games to place audio with pinpoint accuracy. However, if you already own a good pair of headphones with a large soundstage, it may not be necessary. In a movie, TV show, or video game, for example, if a sound is coming from above you and to your right, the upwards-firing or ceiling-mounted speakers on the right side of your room will place the sound in that location—assuming you have Dolby Atmos.

Spatial sound APIs enable application developers to “build audio objects that produce audio from positions in 3D space. Windows 10 has grown and changed quite a bit over the last few years, adding some big and small tweaks that are nevertheless appreciated.

Consider it this way: The audio washes over you in a single horizontal plane when you utilize standard surround sound.

Windows Sonic is Microsoft’s take on the Sound System and has been included in all devices, including the Xbox. Since the Creators Update in 2017, Windows Sonic has been one of the spatial sound formats supported by Windows 10. And Voila, you have turned on the Spatial Sound for your device, now enjoy your games and movies to your heart’s content. Windows Sonic is software that was added to Windows 10 way back in 2017 as part of a software update and was also quickly launched in an update for Xbox One users (you don’t want to leave out gamers with the update, do we).
