Dolby Atmos on the Le Max 2 a joke ? - LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers

There's some discussion of Dolby Atmos on the Le Max 2. Is this a joke?
I've always thought of Dolby as a commercial enterprise driven compression scheme for multi-channel audio, and nothing more, in home and commercial theatre environments. Like Dolby compresses audio to then be uncompressed for playback using an amp that has Dolby's blessing ($cu-ching$ $cu-ching$), similar to the way Zip and Rar compress files on a PC for archiving, or even mp3 and flac are compression schemes for audio. In a way I consider Dolby ransomware: "Thanks for buying the Dolby disk. By the way, we screwed you. You'll need a licensed amplifier to decrypt the audio we encrypted for you."
So the tech goes in home cinema has, for me, been anything but easy to follow: dolby pro logice - TrueHD - 5.1 - then 7.1 Dolby Digital (that's just dolby, not to mention DTS stuff), now atmos is big and being thrown around a lot, and I roll my eyes, but for some reason I feel the need not to ignore it anymore
Now I'm supposed to believe Dolby can work some magic and make me feel like I'm in a Cinemark XD theatre on the Le Max 2 with cell phone stereo speakers? I just don't get it. Can someone explain why I should have Dolby Atmos?

Well like most smartphones on the market, the Le Max 2 has a single bottom firing speaker that's just there to provide basic functionality. If you're going to consume media for any extended amount of time, then you of course pull out your headphones, and that's where Dolby Atmos comes in. It's a surround sound technology, but it also provides you with system wide audio equalizer, and other audio settings and presets. Features that were fairly common in portable audio and video players back in the day, and now very poorly implemented if at all on smartphones.

I guess I need to try it on headphones. Only headphones I use are blue tooth, but I still think I won't be saying best thing since sliced bread. How you get surround sound experience with headphones? There are 2 speakers, one on right ear and the other on the left. As for a difference in sound quality across cheap vs quality headphones? I'm all in for that.

It's basically a complex set of algorithms that attempt to virtualize various sound "objects" spatially - by the way, on a stereo device the processing is not as advanced as on theater grade equipment with 5.1+ outputs.
I've tried it once or twice on my Le Max 2, and while I considered it to have an interesting effect on the sound field, it's not something I want in the audio processing chain full-time. Oh, and it works best with ear/headphones... ?

---

Well, I tried it and it makes music sound much much better. I cannot express in what ways it makes it better, but my ears fell in love with Atmos alterations.

---

Nothing, its pure marketing as surround on stereo headphones is fake. I have it turned off because surround on stereo headphones sounds like garbage.

---

Dolby Atmos & CDLA mode are joke, I disable them.
I installed Audio Beats customized sound with Eq, 3D reverb and Bass boost. clear and amazing

---

If you want try DFX audio enhancer from Playstore. I bought this app and always use it on all my devices it's make sound pretty good. For volume if not loud try app "Volume booster GOODDEV" if speaker is loud enough, I just boost it 20-30% its plenty loud.

Dolby can only develope with the limitations of Android. With Android On it should be better, but remember that programming audio is probably one of the most difficult things to do especially on Android.
