Google’s most recent update to the Pixel line brought some cool features like Clear Calling, but the next update will bring an even more cool feature: Spatial Audio for the Pixel Buds Pro. Although this news will only arrive in early 2023, Google has already announced which apps will be compatible with this function.
Spatial Audio is a feature that is already available for several headphones on the market such as the AirPods Pro on the iPhone, the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro on Samsung phones and soon also on the Pixel Buds Pro for the following Google devices:
- Google Pixel 6
- Google Pixel 6 Pro
- Google Pixel 7
- Google Pixel 7 Pro
Spatial Audio is a feature that allows you to create a greater sense of immersion by tracking head movements using sensors in the headphones to simulate the feeling the listener has when watching something live with instruments and voices fixed in certain places with a sense of depth and distance.
Apps compatible with Pixel Buds Pro Spatial Audio will be:
- Netflix
- YouTube
- Google TV
- HBOMax
In addition, the media audio must be 5.1 or higher or Dolby Atmos, otherwise the headphones will not be able to create the Spatial Audio effect.
To enable Spatial Audio, follow these steps:
- On your Google Pixel go to:
- settings
- sound and vibration
- Spatial Audio > Enable
- Still in settings go to:
- connected devices
- Pixel Buds Pro settings
- Head tracking.
It is not yet clear whether Google will also release an update for the Pixel Buds Pro to make them compatible with the function, more details are expected to be revealed in January with the next update to the line.
