These new Gen2 Astro A40s specifically for the Xbox One are a complete downgrade from their previous line-up. In previous packages you received a MixAmp Pro + Astro A40 headsets which allowed you to experience gaming with Dolby Surround Sound. Make no mistake, this new Gen2 version of Astro A40s only support Stereo which is sound on the left and right. That's it, no different than using any other headset on the market. It is unfortunate that Astro has downgraded their A40 line-up for Xbox One users, but the only way to receive surround sound is to now buy Astro A50 Gen2s for the Xbox One.
