How to enable Spatial Audio on AirPods Pro, AirPods 3 and AirPods Max

What it is and how you activate AirPods Pro, AirPods and Airpods Max. An amazing sound experience.

Cu “spatial audio"You can watch movies and videos on iPad or iPhone with cinematographic surround experience. About this technology implemented by Apple on wireless headphones AirPods Pro, AirPods 3 and AirPods Max I have spoken in This article, in which I said that Netflix is ​​preparing to introduce this feature for premium accounts.

As a brief summary, with "audio space" the sound field is noted with the help of the iPhone / iPad accelerometer and the airpods gyroscope, so the sound will dynamically follow the movement of the head and the device. The effect will be a sound placed anywhere in space, following the movement of the sound source on the screen. The actor, the car in motion or other elements.

By default this function is not activated for AirPods, but it can be made very simple from the settings. First of all, you need to have AirPods Pro or AirPods Maxand a compatible iPad or iPhone with operating system iOS 14 / Ipados 14 or newer. IPhone models compatible with "audio spatial" are starting with the iPhone 7 or newer models. For iPad you need to have one of the models: iPad Pro the 12.9 inch (generation 3 or newer), iPad Pro 11-inch, Air iPad (gen. 3), iPad (6th generation or newer), iPad mini (A 5-a 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 hope that in the near future we will enjoy this experience on Netflix.
