Netflix testing spatial audio support for AirPods Pro, AirPods Max: Report

San Francisco: Netflix is reportedly testing support for spatial audio for users of AirPods Max and AirPods Pro. Citing an anonymous Netflix employee, French news website iPhoneSof t says that Netflix has been testing support for the audio feature across iPhone and iPad since the end of last year and may launch the feature with a “small catalog” in the spring.

Currently, only Netflix’s highest-end Premium tier supports Dolby Atmos surround sound and it is expected that the streaming giant may also limit Spatial Audio to the Premium subscribers only.

Spatial audio is available to AirPods Max and AirPods Pro users who are running an iPhone with iOS 14 or later or an iPad with iPadOS 14 or later.
