What is Personalized Spatial Audio+ and why is it better on AirPods Pro 3?

Personalized Spatial Audio+ is Apple’s upgraded 3D audio technology that customizes sound based on the unique shape of your ears and head. Using the TrueDepth camera on an iPhone, it maps your ear geometry to create a sound profile that matches your hearing. This ensures music, movies, and calls feel more immersive, as if the sound is coming from all around you.

On AirPods Pro 3, Personalized Spatial Audio+ works even better thanks to the new H3 chip and updated sensors. The chip handles 3D audio processing faster and more precisely, which improves head tracking and sound placement accuracy. As a result:

  1. More Realistic Surround Sound – Instruments, voices, and effects feel like they’re in fixed positions around you, similar to a home theater system.
  2. Smoother Head Tracking – When you turn your head, the audio adjusts instantly without lag, keeping the soundstage stable.
  3. Adaptive Tuning – The AirPods Pro 3 can fine-tune spatial audio in real time based on your environment, making the experience more natural indoors or outdoors.
  4. Better for Calls & FaceTime – Voices sound clearer and more “in the room” rather than flat, giving conversations a lifelike quality.

Personalized Spatial Audio+ on AirPods Pro 3 isn’t just about louder or clearer sound—it’s about sound that feels uniquely yours, tailored to your ears, and enhanced with faster, smarter processing.
