Use spatial audio and head tracking

Spatial audio is an immersive audio experience that puts you at the centre of the action, making content sound more realistic. The sound is 'spatialised' to create a multi-speaker effect (similar to a surround sound setup) with Pixel Buds Pro. This works best with movies and TV shows. You can try out this new feature on streaming services such as HBO Max and Netflix Premium (subscription required).
