Suitable for optional consumer spatial listening if an audition confirms you enjoy the effect.

Why: Independent testing demonstrates usable speaker-like spatialization, with sound quality varying by recording and listener. Personalized-HRTF localization accuracy remains unconfirmed, and enabling Immersive Audio reduces battery endurance.
Next: Compare Off, Still and Motion using familiar tracks on the exact model you intend to buy, and check battery endurance with your preferred settings.

Constraints

Some recordings sound overly processed or less cohesive with spatialization enabled.
Rated Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen) playback falls from six hours to four with Immersive Audio.
Tracking delay and channel mismatch can weaken the illusion on original Ultra Headphones.
Ear fit and calibration timing can change the listening result.
Personalized-HRTF accuracy across listeners remains unconfirmed.
