Hello All, So, in order to pair my new Apple watch series 7 to my beloved 8 Plus, I had to update from iOS 14.8 to iOS 15.1. I did this on Friday.
Today, while listening to an audiobook on Over Drive via my wired EarPods, I decided to take my AirPods Pro for a spin, for the first time, with the latest OS. Well, as soon as I resumed the Over Drive audio playback via AirPods Pro, I noticed a tremendously different type of sound coming through AirPods. It only took me a moment to realize that this must be the new Spatial audio feature that I have been reading about. I listened for about 10 minutes or so, then enabled the head-tracking feature to see how it sounded; not bad, accept... I disabled the spatial audio feature after about 15 minutes of listening. I don't know, there was something about it that I just didn't like, with regard to audiobook playback, anyway. I might like it when I watch a movie on my Apple TV or my iPad; perhaps the visual input in combination with spatial audio will make the experience seem less jarring, somehow, I don't know. For now, however, I think I will continue to use the stereo, only, playback option when listening to audiobooks. Just thought I would share my first listening experience with spatial audio.
