In the case of dynamic head tracking, it even gives these audio elements a fixed point in virtual space that changes dynamically.
In other words if you turn your head, the audio orientation of the instruments and vocals will appear to change.
For example, if it sounds like there are drums to your right and you turn your head in that direction, it will then sound like the drums are in front of you.

The head tracking feature should be enabled by default once spatial audio isturned onjust go into your machine’s Bluetooth options to toggle it.
There’s also a demonstration option (in options) you’re able to select if you want to hear what it’ll sound like before you change the options.
Once enabled, it’s possible for you to control the volume or turn spatial audio on and off directly from Control Center.
Dynamic head tracking is available in Apple Music now and, if you have the right equipment and turn on Spatial Audio, you’re able to try it out whenever you’d like.
