Over the past few years, spatial audio has become a big deal for most major headphone manufacturers, quickly evolving into a staple feature in the arsenal of many premium wireless earbuds and headphones. Apple first announced its move towards employing spatial audio back in June 2020, and around four years later, the 3D audio technology has gained significant traction not only for Apple but for many major manufacturers around the industry.
Essentially Apple’s take on 'Dolby Atmos for Headphones' and Sony’s PS5 3D Audio and 360 Reality Audio, Apple Spatial Audio is designed to deliver surround sound and 3D audio via your headphones, with some specific AirPods and Beats models offering a more extensive experience and enhanced features such as dynamic head tracking.
