Is surround sound the future of music listening?

Well, yes and no. Surround sound has been around for quite some time now and has even been declared dead by some when it comes to music. But I do believe, that with the growing number of surround sound systems in living rooms these days (most likely bought for movies), it has a chance to reach more people than just the enthusiasts longing for more quality content. And the growth of all things Immersive Audio is promising: more titles in Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, Auro3D, Sony 360 Reality Audio, and others are constantly released, and quite a few for music!

Is surround sound music really that great?

YES! But why take my word for it? Here’s a quote by famous blockbuster composer and sound designer Hans Zimmer.

I don’t even know why anybody would want to get out of bed and make a stereo recording. There’s a thing that happens, when you can be inside the music, which is really what surround does, that is so much nicer.

Well said Hans 🙂

And the proof of that statement can be heard in form of a 5.1 surround sound version of the soundtrack to the movie Inception.
