“spatial audio” is the killer feature here. It’s one of the last “unsolved” audio problems (at least in available headphone/earphone product lines), along with the upper frequency limit on noise canceling, which this product doesn’t solve.

- TimTheTinker 6y agoSpatial audio (and by extension, binaural audio) has been an ongoing research project in a lot of different places over the last 10 or so years. The problems involved have been mostly theoretically solved, but Apple is the first to bring to market a consumer product that takes various Dolby multi-channel surround sound input types and outputs a true binaural stereo audio stream that varies with head (and screen) movement in 3d space.
