AIRPODS PRO: SPATIAL AUDIO TECHNOLOGY IS COMING, THAT'S WHAT IT IS

The WWDC keynote held by Apple marked the debut of an unexpected novelty for the many users in possession of AirPods and AirPods Pro . Craig Federighi, almost muted, announced two interesting features that will arrive concurrently with iOS 14 on wireless earphones, which have now become a real goose that lays golden eggs for the Cupertino company.

Of these functions, one is common to all AirPods models, while the other will be available exclusively on the Pro variant launched last year.

Spatial Audio comes to AirPods Pro

The most important news undoubtedly concerns the AirPods Pro, which will be able to offer an immersive 360 ° audio experience thanks to Spatial Audio with dynamic head-tracking .

With this technology, the audio will be compatible with Dolby 5.1, 7.1 and also Dolby Atmos . Particularly interesting is the approach that Apple engineers have adopted to remedy the lack of multiple speakers, unlike what happens in the home entertainment field with soundbars that have already been able to offer a cinematic experience of this type for a few months.

To do this, Apple made use of the accelerometer integrated in the individual earphones of the AirPods Pro . Spatial Audio makes sure that thesound "remains stationary" regardless of the movements of the head , to give the sensation of being immersed at 360 ° in the audio or video content being played from your devices.

Using the accelerometer and gyroscope, the AirPods will be able to monitor head movements to remap the sound fields accordingly. So imagine using the AirPods while watching a movie or a TV series: the actor's voice will always come, for example, from the right even if you move. A not insignificant aspect that deserves mention is that the support for Spatial Audio will be available on all devices associated with the AirPods Pro .

The activation of the Spatial Audio will probably be possible through the settings of the headphones, in a similar way to what happen with the noise cancellation and the transparency mode, and certainly more information will emerge in the coming weeks. Apple only marginally talked about it on stage, but it's an update that will make a lot of users happy.

Automatic switch between devices

Also worthy of mention is the automatic switch between associated devices . Apple, relying on iCloud, has made sure that the earphones automatically switch the connection to the most suitable device among those in use.

During the conference, the example of a user who listens to music on his iPhone and then starts playing a video on his MacBook was given: the AirPods will make the instant switch and the audio feed of the computer will be played in the ear rather than that smartphone.

The same can also happen in reverse: imagine watching a movie on your iMac and receiving a call on the iPhone, the latter will be given priority to allow you to listen to your interlocutor.

In the official documentation, Apple has specified that this novelty will be available on AirPods Pro, second generation AirPods, Powerbeats, Powerbeats Pro and Beats Solo Pro .
