ALL IN YOUR HEAD
Spatial audio is handled differently with headphones. A technology called headrelated transfer function( HRTF) tricks your brain into believing that sounds are farther away or closer to you than they really are. To enjoy it, use a pair of spatial audio headphones, like the Apple AirPods Max or OnePlus Buds Pro 2 with a compatible smartphone, like the Apple iPhone 15 or OnePlus 11, respectively.

An appropriate subscription
Even if the service supports immersive audio, you may need a specific subscription tier to access it. With Netflix and Disney +, you need the Premium plan. It’ s available on music streaming services, too. Amazon Music, TIDAL and Apple Music offer tracks in spatial audio with base paid subscription options. With spatial audio, you can use a single premium speaker( or other audio device) and high-quality mixed content to get an impressive, enveloping experience.
