Sony Headphones. Will they decode Dolby Atmos from an Apple TV?

I recently purchased a pair of Sony WH - 1000XM4 headphones. I’m wondering if these will be able to decode Dolby Atmos from my Apple TV ?

Dolby Atmos output from Apple TV 4K is (at this time) only available through HDMI to compatible AV receiver or soundbar, and Apple’s own HomePod (2018) AirPlay speakers.

Dolby Atmos or spatial audio is not available from the Apple TV 4K box through bluetooth connected headphones, regardless of brand or model.
