Spatial Audio Compatability

I called Apple support today but the person I spoke with couldn't answer my question. I have a pair of Bose QC 35 headphones. Can I use these with spatial audio or does that only work with Apple's headphones? If it does, does it work on both my MB Air and iPhone 13 Pro?

Thanks.

I saw that, too, but I thought I saw somewhere that it might work with my Bose. Based on your nine-digit points, I'll take your word on this.

Thanks for the quick response.
