Is it just me?

Is it just me, or does the spatial audio personalization make it sound worse?

I’m using AirPod max and overall fidelity is better when I don’t use the personalized spatial audio. Just looking for others’ input on the matter; I’m not using it and don’t plan on doing so.

iPhone 13 Pro Max

Spatial Audio on Beats Studio 3 It’s not so much of a question, but a clarification of questions I have seen. I recent bought Beats Studio 3 wireless and was confused about if they had spatial audio. My AirPod Pros have a toggle on the control menu but the Beats do not. On the Apple website it does not say that it has spatial audio, but on the beatsbydre website it does list spatial audio as a feature. Before I continue, I would like to note that I think Spatial Audio and Spatial Audio with head tracking are different things. My AirPods play sound relative to the device streaming the audio (with head tracking). The Beats do not (spatial audio only). In conclusion, Beats Studio 3 Wireless do have spatial audio, and this can be tested with a simple Dolby Atmos test on YouTube. They do not have head tracking like the AirPod Pros do.

Reducing noise for person on other end of the call for Airpod Pro 2nd gen I upgraded to the Airpod Pro 2nd Gen hoping it would be able to reduce the background noise that the person on the other end of the phone call hears. However, they are still able to hear every little sound - magnified. If I close a cabinet or move something it is extremely loud on the other person’s ears. A phone is meant for talking - but the telephone aspect of an iPhone is horrible. Is there a setting I can change?

Different people are going to have different preferences and different hearing. I'm not sure it really matters whether other people like it or not. If you don't like it, don't use it. I like it.
