Technology glossary
Dolby's audio format that places sounds as positions rather than fixed channels, aiming for a wider spatial experience.
Dolby says Atmos lets creators place each sound exactly where they want it, for more realistic and immersive sound in film, games or music.
On headphones the effect depends on the content supporting Atmos and on device settings. For the EAH-A1000, Technics says spatial audio needs settings in the Technics Audio Connect app and on the phone.

The ROG Zephyrus G16 (2025) GU605CX is the RTX 5090 Laptop GPU version of ASUS’s thin 16-inch gaming laptop: a Core Ultra 9 285H processor, a 240 Hz 2.5K OLED display, 64 GB of LPDDR5X soldered to the board and a weight of 1.95 kg. The GPU runs at up to 120 W, and Notebookcheck measured that this keeps the RTX 5090 below its performance in thicker laptops. Owners praise the display and portability; heat, fan noise under load and memory that cannot be upgraded are the most common criticisms.
