What is it and how do you activate it? Spatial Audio on AirPods Pro, AirPods and AirPods Max. An amazing sound experience.

With "spatial audio” you can watch movies and videos on your iPad or iPhone with a cinematic surround experience. About this technology implemented by Apple on wireless headphones AirPods Pro, AirPods 3 si AirPods Max I've talked in before This article, in which I said that Netflix is ​​preparing to introduce this feature for premium accounts.

As a short summary, with “spatial audio” the sound field is remapped with the help of the accelerometer on the iPhone / iPad and the gyroscope on the AirPods, so that the sound will dynamically follow the movement of the head and the device. The effect will be a sound placed anywhere in space, while also following the movement of the sound source on the screen. The actor, the moving car or other elements.

By default this function is not activated for AirPods, but it can be done very simply from the settings. First of all, you need to have AirPods Pro or AirPods Max and a compatible iPad or iPhone with operating system iOS 14 / iPadOS 14 or newer. Compatible iPhone models with “spatial audio” are starting with iPhone 7 or newer models. For the iPad, you need to have one of the following models: iPad Pro The 12,9 in. (3rd generation or newer), iPad Pro 11-inch, iPad Air (gen. 3), iPad (6th generation or newer), iPad mini (5th generation).
Also, the audio-visual content must come from a compatible application. At the moment we find on Apple TV+ and Disney + audio-video content with "spatial sound" and we hope that in the near future we will enjoy this experience on Netflix as well.
