At CES this week, I heard Dolby Atmos music played in a car, and I fell in love with the experience so much that I sound like a lunatic trying to explain it to others. the music felt like it was floating in the space around me — I couldn’t tell where the speakers were located; it created a surreal sound. When listening to Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody, it was like Freddie Mercury was just floating in front of me.<\/p>\n
During the show in Las Vegas, Dolby invited us to check out the audio in a Mercedes-Benz Maybach, one of the first vehicles to be designed to support this immersive audio experience. I saw a lot of wild products as I ran around the convention in Las Vegas, but out of everything I saw, this was the one piece of tech I want in my life right away. <\/p>\n

It makes music immersive, so maybe some instruments feel like they are located in different places around you.<\/p>\n
Many folks may have heard Dolby Atmos-quality sound in a movie theater, but putting in a car is the next avenue for this sound system. The experience can only be found in a few luxury vehicles for now, including the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Lucid Motors’ electric vehicle, the Lucid Air. Volvo is also set to release cars with Atmos technology.<\/p>\n
I feel very spoiled having my first experience in the $185,000 Maybach — its sound system has 30 speakers, six of which are in the ceiling. But will this come to my Toyota 4Runner?<\/p>\n

The team is working on testing this to work on cars with fewer speakers, like a typical six-speaker setup. And you could potentially update an existing car so its software supports the surround-sound effects. <\/p>\n
Demoing Dolby Atmos in a car was unlike any audio I’ve experienced, so I can only hope it comes to more cars soon. Until then, I’ll have to just keep telling people about how I experienced a floating Freddie Mercury inside the Maybach. I’m sure they’ll understand.<\/p>\n
