Engadget Logo Enter Japan version of AirPods Pro's firmware update, spatial audio and automatic switching

It is reported that Apple has released the latest firmware 3A283 for the second generation AirPods and AirPods Pro on September 14 (USA) and introduced Spatial Audio and automatic switching.

These were announced at the June Developer Event WWDC2.Space audio is limited to AirPods Pro, and automatic switching functions can be used for both AirPods and AirPods Pro.

Space audio 5.1ch and 7.It is a function that filtered so that it sounds three -dimensional like a movie theater with multiple speakers, from 1ch surround and Dolby Atmos with three -dimensional sound.

It is not unusual for the technology to realize it with earphones and headphones, but the great this function of AirPods Pro is that "considering the direction of the head and matching the position of the video and the sound."For example, if you use a normal virtual ground earphone, if you move your head, it will continue to be based on the position of the earphone, so the screen will be on the left side, the sound will be front, but in AirPods Pro, "If the screen is on the left side, the sound can be heard from the left".That is.

According to the US Macrumors, a "spatial audio" option has been added to the control center.The forum readers on the site have impressive words, such as "immersive," "shaken," and "seem to be tripping."

Automatic switching is a function that allows AirPods to seamlessly switch between Apple products linked to iCloud.For example, after listening to music on the iPhone, just start playing a movie on the iPad will automatically switch the AirPods connection.Until now, even Apple products needed to be switched manually, but the operation is completely unnecessary.

However, you need to install iOS 14 to use these new features.This is because it is introduced as a new element of iOS 14 in the first place, but I would like to wait for the iOS 14 official release that many users can use widely.
