iOS 14 brings some great new features to your AirPods
Perhaps the most technically impressive of the new features is spatial audio, available on AirPods Pro and Max. Enabled by default on apps that support it, spatial audio is like surround sound for headphones, with a twist. The twist is that your AirPods Pro/Max now know when and how you move your head and use that data to anchor the sound stage, so the virtual ‘speakers’ stay in the same place in the room, even if your head doesn’t.
