I’m no expert but I invested in AirPod Pro 2’s and back in 2009 Audio Technica studio headphones. I really enjoy the Atmos stuff and that coming from someone who only got into streaming within the last 6 years. For wired headphones you’ll need a connector that plugs a 3.5 mm headphone jack to whatever your device accepts. I am moving towards all wireless headphones actually. My ATs will be the last corded pair I own. I don’t own an Atmos system currently, but that would be the top way to go in terms of playback in 11 channels. That being said, AirPod Pros and my phone/computer are worth the investment, not just for listening to these PJ spatial releases, but for music in general. The noise cancellation feature alone did it for me - no more hearing loss whilst mowing my yard! As for Atmos breakdown, it’s been explained in this thread a few times. Basically you are listening in an immersive way. Sound coming at you from 11 different spaces. 

Actually checking now if airpod pros are on sale this week lol.

With Atmos the only limits to how many places the sound comes at you is how many speakers you have. Atmos isn't an 11-channel mix, it's metadata that extracts sounds from the base and places them according to your configuration.

If you have the massive Denon AVR-A1H you can have a 9.4.6 Atmos system. You'd have 7 main channels (fronts, centre, surrounds, rear surrounds) then include front wides, then have 6 in ceiling Atmos speakers. This AVR can also independently calibrate four subwoofers (the ".4" part).

I'm doing renos right now to move from 5.2.4 to 7.3.4, very excited to move from upward firing modules to the preferred in ceiling option.

And they work nice with my headphones. I wish you could purchase them so you don’t always have to subscribe to Apple Music to listen. These are mixes I’ll need during the apocalypse when there’s no internet.

Well now I have to subscribe to this Apple Music forever. Not just for the PJ, but all these spatial mixes. Listening to Strange Days by The Doors right now. Like the PJ albums, it feels like I’m listening to it for the first time.

It’s ridiculous. Some songs sound better than others but it always feels like a brand new experience.

Yep. I hope by then Pearl Jam will physically release these audio mixes on Blu-ray discs.

I finally got a chance to listen to Vitalogy in Atmos and I loved it. Josh did a nice job of spreading the guitar parts into the surrounds in most all the songs. "Tremor Christ" was a standout to me for sure. I also marked down "Nothingman" and "Immortality" as tracks I would use to demo Atmos to someone new to it. Overall I was very happy with how the drums sound too. Very clear and forward in the soundstage on some tracks, a little further back in the "room" in others. 

I cannot wait for more time to give this new mix additional listens.

This one is available with better fidelity on Blu-ray from Rhino too along with several other albums - the Atmos mix of Seal’s ‘91 debut is fab as is the Carly Simon.

Cool thanks for the heads up.

Okay so I made playlist of the first five PJ albums in Dolby Atmos. Everything was good at first, but now, Vs. is no longer in Dolby Atmos except for Indifference and the bonus tracks Hold On, Cready Stomp and Crazy Mary. As for Vitalogy, if I go directly to it from PJ's Apple Music page, I get the Dolby Atmos mix, But when I add that to my playlist, it adds the original mix. No issues with Ten, No Code, and Yield though. Weird.

Anyone else having that issue? Can someone go on Apple Music and see if all of Vs. works for you  in Dolby Atmos? Like I said above, only Indifference and the bonus tracks are for me.

I’m in the middle of an HT rebuild and all my equipment is in its boxes. Heading to a 7.3.4 Atmos system with in ceiling Paradigm speakers for Atmos channels - insulation and poly is up, drywall starts on Monday. Another week or so and I will be back in business. Maybe Canada Post will be delivering mail by then and my first test of the new system can by Vitalogy?

I figured out the issue. Because I have all the albums already on my phone, the app was confusing my regular Vitalogy with the Dolby Atmos one because they’re both titled “Vitalogy.”  No Code on the other hand was titled “No Code (Lossless)” in my library so the app was able to tell the difference. Just had to rename the old mixes.

I just stream everywhere, phone, laptop, home theater system, so I just have the Apple Music streaming versions of all the albums in my Library. When I listen on AirPods Pro and I don't want the Atmos mixes, I just turn off Atmos on my phone.

Looks like Binaural dropped Thursday in Atmos on Apple Music! I have been waiting for this one for a long time. Originally, I thought this would be the PJ album with the most potential in surround, so I am stoked to hear what they did with it.

Hopefully we get a reissue like the 45 yield vinyl
