If you update your Netflix app now you might notice that you already have the feature enabled.
Spatial Audio is what Apple calls its AirPods’ immersive sound feature.
It works by using sensors and directional audio to track where your head is in relation to the device you’re listening to the content on.
It essentially creates an immersive sound experience for the content you’re watching.
This is good when you’re watching a film or TV as you can sense the direction of the sound as if you were in the film or TV series yourself.
To take advantage of Spatial Audio on AirPods when watching TV you’ll need to watch content from a platform which supports it.
Netflix, Apple TV, Disney+ and Hulu all now support it.
Not all TV shows and films will come with spatial audio support though.
You can control spatial audio from your Apple devices control centre.
If you’re listening to something compatible then a bright blue icon with pulsing sound waves should indicate that its working.
You can also turn it off here to see the different between sound.
