How to get and use Spatial Audio on the Pixel Buds Pro

Once your phone lets you know the update is complete, put your earbuds in and go back to Settings > Connected Devices > your Pixel Buds Pro. 

On that screen you'll see a new Spatial Audio item in the list of options; select it. On the next screen you'll have two buttons, one to turn Spatial Audio on or off, and another that turns the Head tracking feature on or off.

(Alternatively, you can scroll down on the main Pixel Buds Pro settings screen and find the same two toggles. However, you'll need access to dedicated Spatial Audio settings page for the following step.)

There's a small dropdown arrow next to the text that reads “See how it works.” Select the arrow to reveal a video that you can play and listen to through your Pixel Buds Pro to hear an example of what Spatial Audio brings to your earbuds. 

I recommend listening to the video while toggling Spatial Audio and Head tracking on and off a few times to hear the difference each feature brings to your ears.
