Unleash Immersive Audio with DTS Headphone:X and Logitech G

For gamers, audio isn’t just background noise—it’s a critical part of the gaming experience. Whether you’re immersed in an open-world RPG, tracking enemy footsteps, or exploring the atmospheric depths of a horror game, sound can make or break your gameplay experience. That’s why spatial audio solutions like DTS Headphone:X are transforming gaming audio, delivering unparalleled immersion and competitive advantages.

ChelseaBytes, DTS Streamer and host, recently sat down with Andrew Coonrad, Head of Marketing – Gaming Software at Logitech G and DTS’ Dr. Michael Kelly, VP Engineering to discuss why immersive audio matters, the benefits of DTS Headphone:X, and why Logitech partnered with DTS to enhance their gaming headsets.

Why Does Immersive Audio Matter in Gaming?

Gaming is no longer just about stunning visuals—audio now plays a crucial role in crafting an immersive, lifelike experience that draws you deeper into the game. Michael emphasizes how spatial audio adds depth and realism, making the player feel like they’re truly inside the game. Andrew added, “Technologically, there’s all sorts of really cool stuff happening with head tracking or nearly unlimited object-based audio. This technology can be done on the fly digitally in real-time, and it’s happening more frequently with more channels and options.”

In competitive gaming, precise audio cues and head tracking can make the difference between victory and defeat. DTS Headphone:X enables positional accuracy, ensuring that gamers don’t just hear the action—they know exactly where it’s happening.

What Types of Games Benefit Most from Spatial Audio?

While all games benefit from high-quality audio, certain genres truly come to life with the power of spatial sound technology. Some examples include:

• Battle Royale & Multiplayer Games: Situational awareness is crucial in games where enemies can be anywhere—DTS Headphone:X gives players an audio advantage over their competition.
• Horror Games: Nothing heightens suspense like realistic 3D sound, making every creak, whisper, or distant growl feel terrifyingly close.
• RPGs & Open-World Adventures: A rich soundscape brings the world to life, enhancing environmental details, dialogue, and ambient sounds.

Michael stated, “Stand-out games are open-world games because that environment has to be real. But on a deeper level, horror really excels. In horror, you are looking at the potential to connect on an emotional level, to give you true immersion, to really place fear behind you or to the side of you, so that you are there with it.”

What is DTS Headphone:X and How Does It Improve Audio for Logitech G?

DTS Headphone:X is a spatial audio solution that creates an immersive 3D soundscape using just a standard pair of headphones. It processes in-game audio to accurately place sounds in a 360-degree environment, helping players determine distance, direction, and movement with incredible precision.

For Logitech G, integrating DTS Headphone:X technology means gamers get a competitive edge and a deeply immersive experience—all without needing expensive multi-speaker setups. As Andrew said, “With Logitech headphones and DTS Headphone X, you do get that tailored experience because it’s designed for that headset specifically.”

Why Did Logitech Choose DTS as Their Audio Partner?

Logitech G is dedicated to pushing gaming technology forward, and partnering with DTS—a leader in spatial audio—was the perfect next step. DTS Headphone:X offers unparalleled realism, precision and adaptability, aligning perfectly with Logitech’s mission to create high-performance gaming gear. According to Andrew, “It was a natural partnership to not only build hardware that had low-distortion characteristics that can process all of these different multi-channel audio streams more accurately but then also to have these well-designed bespoke libraries that are pushing that object-based multi-channel audio.”
