Share This:

Are you looking to get the most out of your AirPods Pro? If so, then you need to know about spatial audio and how to update it. Spatial audio is a feature that enhances the sound experience when listening to the audio on your AirPods Pro. It uses head-tracking technology and directional sound effects to create a 3D surround sound experience.

To get the most out of your AirPods Pro and spatial audio, you need to update them with the latest firmware. Updating your AirPods Pro’s firmware is easy and can be done quickly using an iPhone or iPad. Here’s how:

1. Connect your AirPods Pro to your iPhone or iPad.
2. Go to Settings > Bluetooth and tap on the “i” icon next to your AirPods Pro in the list of Bluetooth devices.
3. Scroll down until you reach the “About” section, where you will find information about your AirPods Pro including their current firmware version number.
4. Check if there are any available updates for your AirPods Pro by visiting Apple’s support page for earphones and headphones at https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT209089. If there is an update, download it onto your device using iTunes or Finder (for Mac).
5. Open iTunes or Finder (for Mac) and click on “Check for Updates” under the Device tab at the top of the window. A dialog box will appear with options for updating your AirPods Pro if an update is available – click Install Update when prompted.
6. Once the update has been installed, open Control Center on your iPhone or iPad and toggle Spatial Audio on while playing multichannel content or Spatialize Stereo while playing two-channel stereo content (this will also show status icons).
7. Finally, if you want even more immersive sound from your AirPods Pro, go into Settings > Accessibility > Physical & Motor > Airpods > Spatial Audio Head Tracking and toggle Follow iPhone On/Off – This will allow head tracking technology to follow movements of the user’s head as they move around a room so that they can enjoy a full 360-degree sound experience from their AirPods Pro!

Enabling Spatial Audio on AirPods Pro

To enable Spatial Audio on AirPods Pro, open Control Center on your iPhone or iPad. Touch and hold the volume control to turn on Spatial Audio while you’re playing multichannel content or to Spatialize Stereo while you’re playing two-channel stereo content. You will then see status icons informing you that the feature has been activated.

Troubleshooting AirPods Pro Spatial Audio Issues

Spatial Audio on the AirPods Pro is only available when connected to compatible devices, such as iPhones, iPads, and Macs. Unfortunately, if you’re using your AirPods with an Android device or Windows machine, you won’t be able to take advantage of the immersive surround sound experience. For optimal performance, we recommend using your AirPods Pro with one of the compatible Apple devices.

Forcing AirPods Pro to Update

To force an AirPods Pro update, you will need to first make sure that your AirPods are connected to your iPhone. Then go to Settings > Bluetooth and tap the ‘i’ icon next to your AirPods. Scroll down to the About section, and if there is an update available, you can tap ‘Update’ and the update process will start. Make sure your AirPods are charged before starting the update process, as it may take some time for the update to complete.

Troubleshooting Issues with Spatial Audio

Spatial Audio requires a compatible device and AirPods Pro or AirPods (2nd generation). If you don’t meet this requirement, the Spatial Audio option will not be available. Additionally, Spatial Audio is only available when playing content from certain Apple apps such as Music, Podcasts, and TV. If the content you are trying to watch does not come from one of these apps, Spatial Audio will not be available. Lastly, if you have already enabled Spatial Audio on your device but it still isn’t showing up, try toggling the Follow iPhone option off and on again in Accessibility settings.

How Long Does Spatial Audio Last on AirPods Pro?

The AirPods Pro (2nd generation) can last up to 6 hours of listening time with Spatial Audio and Head Tracking enabled. This means that you can enjoy your favorite music, podcasts, or audiobooks with a fully immersive sound experience for up to 5.5 hours on a single charge. It’s also worth noting that you can get up to 24 hours of talk time or 30 hours of listening time when using multiple charges.
