I knew? How to try "spatial audio" using AirPods for free
AirPods Pro, AirPods Max, and the 3rd generation AirPods released this fall fully support "spatial audio" for a more three-dimensional sound experience. Full support means that it also supports "dynamic head tracking" where the sound of the content can be heard from a fixed direction even if you change the direction of your face. It looks amazing! [Image] It's hard to understand, so I'm going to explain it with a screenshot, but "Spatial audio seems to be awesome, and I'm a little curious, but I wonder if it's troublesome to search Apple Music for songs that support spatial audio..." What do you think? But in fact, you don't even have to hunt around for a sound source that allows you to quickly try out spatial audio, including dynamic head tracking, and it's much easier to understand than Apple Music's songs and video content. With the AirPods that support spatial audio removed from the case and connected to the iPhone, open [Bluetooth] in the [Settings] app and tap the [i] mark on the right side of the AirPods. Scroll down the next screen and tap Spatial Audio. Then, the spatial audio trial corner will appear. A short sound source made to make the effect of spatial audio easy to understand is played in a loop, and you can compare it while switching between conventional [stereo] and [spatial audio] with one tap. The point is that the sound source that makes it easy to understand the effect of spatial audio is played in a loop. In general music and movies, it is troublesome to find a scene where the effect of spatial audio is easy to understand. And if you try to compare the scene with stereo and spatial audio, you have to return the playback position one by one, which is even more troublesome. On the other hand, this sound source in the Settings app loops the sound all the way through for a clear experience of spatial audio. Easy to understand! Easy to compare! In addition, the effect of dynamic head tracking is currently better than changing the direction of the whole body after listening to the front for about 10 seconds and letting the AirPods remember that "this position is the front!" I felt that the effect was easy to understand if I tried it by moving only my head and looking left and right. If you feel that it is not working well, please be aware of that and try it.
