All applications that support Apple’s spatial audio feature

by

Space audio is an exclusive sound feature of AirPods Pro and AirPods Max that adds surround sound to Apple’s premium portable audio equipment. By using dynamic head tracking, it brings a theater-like audio experience to the movie or video you’re watching, so the sound seems to come from your surroundings.
