With the January update, Google brought native support for spatial audio to the Google Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 7, and 7 Pro. This adds a directional filter to the sound to simulate a surround sound experience when listening to music or watching content from supported apps. The latest update to the Google Pixel Buds app now reveals a hidden menu called “Spatial Audio”.
menu discovered by 9to5Google Includes toggles to enable spatial audio and head tracking features. There’s also a demo built into the app’s settings, where you can preview how the feature will be enabled. A disclaimer at the bottom of the menu indicates that this feature only works with supported content.

Google Pixel Buds should soon receive a firmware update to enable head tracking. This could be part of the next Pixel Buds Pro Feature Drop update due in March.
