    Having never been impressed by any surround headphones ever, I find spatial audio for video really good. Impressively larger sound stage (with AirPods Max) when I’ve watched stuff on my iPad. Glad to see it’s coming to tvOS.

    Deeply unimpressed by spatial audio music however (via my Airpods Max). Sounds very compressed, nearly everything piped through a middle channel, separation lost, with a bad/weird EQ. Tried with a variety of tracks, some marginally better than others. What they’ve done to some of the Beatles tracks is a crime. Go listen to the title track of Sergeant Pepper, Christ alive!

    Lossless sounds awesome though, I do love me some placebos, yummy.
