Dolby International has announced that it would be equipping Lenovo S10-2 and S12 netbooks with Dolby Headphone technology. Essentially, this means that if headphones are plugged into these netbooks, users will be able to experience surround sound audio.
Dolby Headphone Technology is meant for headphones and is able to mimic up to five speakers. The virtual speaker environment that would be created by the headphones is expected to lessen listening fatigue for users that listen to audio for extended periods of time.
This new technology will provide "better sound quality without compromising with the form factor." Furthermore, according to Lenovo, the new technology will offer better audio without excessively hogging the netbooks' processors and batteries.
