Got a pair of AirPods Pro 2 this week and Spatial Audio is really weird for me.
Is it something you use all the time or just with some things?
For me, it’s kinda weird/frustrating when watching something and my phone isn’t directly in front of me, or i get up and the sound changes direction.
I love spatial audio itself, but I do turn off the head tracking. Leaving spatial audio on but turning tracking off gives the pseudo “surround sound” experience without the sound changing direction on you.
Might have to try that. It’s a weird concept for sure
I turn it off. Cause like you said it’s annoying when you move your head. I guess it would be nice with an Apple TV. But I don’t like wearing headphones when watching tv, I have a sound system for that.
Off for me. Got real annoyed when it would stay on for other apps - I had to go back in and turn it off again for like Netflix and Safari.
I think it’s silly and weird. Why wouldn’t I want my sound to move with me?
I like it when listening to things mastered for Dolby Atmos (basically just certain things in Apple Music/TV), but don’t use the artificial version (Spacialize Stereo) and I always keep head tracking off/fixed.
