Share This:

Are you an Apple user looking to make the most of your audio experience? If so, you should look into using Apple’s Spatial Audio Test. This test is designed to help you determine the best possible sound quality for your listening needs.

The Spatial Audio Test works by playing a variety of sounds through your AirPods Pro or compatible headphones in order to measure the quality and accuracy of their performance. The test will then let you know if you have a good seal on your ears and if the sound is being projected properly. This way, you can make sure that your audio experience is as comfortable and as accurate as possible.

To begin the Spatial Audio Test, first open Control Center on your iPhone or iPad and hold down the volume control to turn on spatial audio while playing multichannel content or Spatialize Stereo while playing two-channel stereo content. You’ll know that the audio has been correctly enabled when a bright blue icon appears next to the volume control. If it doesn’t appear, then spatial audio may not be supported by the content you are watching at that time.

Next, use Settings > Bluetooth to select your AirPods Pro from among all of your connected devices and tap Ear Tip Fit Test. Then tap Continue and tap Play to hear various sounds that will let you know whether or not a good fit has been achieved with your ears. If it isn’t qute right yet, try adjusting the fit until you reach an optimal level of comfort and accuracy in sound projection.

Once satisfied with how everything sounds, simply exit out of Settings > Bluetooth and continue enjoying whatever content you were watching before running through this test. With this process completed, now all that’s left for you is to relax, sit back, and enjoy some top-notch audio quality!

The Difference Between Spatial Audio and Atmos

No, spatial audio is not the same as Dolby Atmos. While both technologies offer an immersive listening experience, they provide a different kind of experience. Dolby Atmos creates a three-dimensional soundscape that simulates the sound of being inside a movie theater or concert hall. On the other hand, Spatial Audio adds an extra layer of movement to your listening experience and can simulate sounds coming from anywhere in the room.
