How to Set Up Personalized Spatial Audio

With iOS 16, Apple added a new feature for AirPods users called Personalized Spatial Audio. According to Apple, “with Personalised Spatial Audio, the AirPods listening experience is even more immersive,” as you perceive sound individually, based on the size and shape of your head and ears.

Personalized Spatial Audio does this by using the TrueDepth camera on an ‌iPhone‌ to analyze the shape of your ears in three dimensions and use this mapping to create a personal sound profile that's tuned just for you. In this podcast, Thomas Domville talks us through and demonstrates the process of mapping your face and ears.
