A:Answer Although my model had plenty of issues, sound was not one of them. The Dolby Atmos worked well with the four speakers -- but note that it's disabled (as are the speakers) when using any kind of headphones. The model has several way to modify sound (with or without headphones), including a rudimentary equalizer. I used a pair of Sony MDR-1AM2 headphones -- and enjoyed excellent sound quality. My guess is that any brand of ear buds won't reproduce the quality sound as well as real headphones will.
