Earbuds Guide
Best Earbuds with Spatial Audio
Spatial audio simulates sound coming from multiple directions rather than just left and right, most noticeable with supported movies and specially mixed tracks.
Content-dependent by design
Spatial audio only has an effect on content mixed to take advantage of it — it does not change ordinary stereo tracks.
Head tracking varies
Some implementations adjust the sound field as you turn your head; others apply a fixed spatial effect.
Pair it with the right app
The streaming service and app you use both need to support spatial playback for the effect to apply.
