Netflix is ​​reportedly testing spatial audio support for AirPods Pro and AirPods Max

Netflix is ​​working on adding support for the spatial audio feature built into the AirPods Pro and the AirPods Max, according to a report from the French site iPhoneSoft.

The site says it spoke to an unnamed Netflix employee in the United States who said support for spatial audio is in the works.

The rumor has not yet been confirmed by any other source, however iPhoneSoft says the feature is set to launch in the spring with a “small catalog” of titles to get you started.

Spatial audio is an “AirPods Pro” and “AirPods Max” feature that brings cinema-like sound to Apple’s earbuds and headphones, making audio sound three-dimensional. Spatial audio uses the gyroscope and accelerometer in the AirPods Pro and iPhone to track the movement of your head and the position of your iPhone, compare the motion data, and then reassign the sound field so it remains anchored to your device, even if your head moves.

It’s a feature that works with the ‌iPhone‌ and the iPad, so if Netflix is ​​indeed working on support, it would be limited to Netflix titles watched on one of Apple’s compatible iPhones or tablets.
