Netflix has reportedly tested spatial audio support for AirPods Pro and AirPods Max

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

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

The rumor has yet to be confirmed by another source at this time, but iPhoneSoft says the feature is expected to launch in the spring with a “small catalog” of titles to start.

Spatial Audio is an ‌AirPods Pro‌ and ‌AirPods Max‌ feature that brings movie theater-like sound to Apple headphones and earphones, rendering the audio sound in three dimensions. Spatial Audio uses the gyroscope and accelerometer of ‌‌AirPods Pro‌‌ and iPhone to track your head movement and the position of your ‌‌iPhone‌‌, comparing the motion data, and then remapping the sound field so that it stays anchored to your device even when your head moves.

It’s a feature that works with both the iPhone and iPad, so if Netflix is ​​actually working on the medium, it would be limited to Netflix titles viewed on any of Apple’s compatible iPhones or tablets.
