Does this headphone support Dobly Digital Plus so I have the option of 5.1 surround sound on Netflix? TV, connections, etc. support this format. Thanks for an answer!

No. Real Dolby cannot be output by headphones anyway. Dolby is only "simulated", which is why it is called Virtual Surround. The headphones can decode or convert various sound effects (DD, DTS, Dplx etc.). In addition, you can switch on a matrix that can scale the signals into DD 7.1. But as I said, this is all virtual, but it works very well. In my opinion, the bass could be a little more powerful.

It is very important that you can use all the possibilities of the headphones with which output device you connect them. For example, when I watch Netflix on my PS4, I only get the normal DD signal. If I watch Netflix via my Smart TV, I also get Dpl x This means that stereo sound is also upscaled to Dolby Surround and the matrix also works better. In comparison, I have a more balanced sound with the Smart TV on the PS4. Then it depends on whether you connected the headphones with an optical cable or an HDMI cable. I was once told that not all surround effects come through with an optical connection.

I can recommend the headphones without further ado. Only the connection is, as I said, a bit tricky and you might have to try out a few different setups. The problem is especially given if you have more than 2 output devices and want to use the headphones for all of them. As you know, the headphones unfortunately only have two connections.
