Users who don’t have multichannel speakers will be able to enjoy surround sound using only stereo speakers.

As per ANI, the feature can convert a stereo audio track from a non-Apple device into 3D spatial audio.

To accomplish this, Sennheiser and Netflix have collaborated to add the same 3D audio technology found in the Sennheiser Ambeo soundbar.

As long as you are accessing the stereo track, the spatial audio will function on any non-Apple device, including smartphones, tablets, and televisions.

Since all processing is done within the Netflix app, no special functionality is needed on the playback device.

Fortunately, using Apple devices is much easier. In this case, Netflix merely makes use of the built-in spatial audio feature found in iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and tvOS devices.

This feature is compatible with all content that has 5.1 or Dolby Atmos tracks. All you need are compatible Apple headphones, such as the AirPods 3, AirPods Pro, AirPods Max, and some Beats models, along with a modern device that supports spatial audio.

You can access spatial audio content by searching for “spatial audio”, it is currently available for all subscription tiers globally.
