Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Proceed with caution

Why
A mature, widely-shipping consumer implementation with real personalization, but reviewer-documented inconsistency, head-tracking artifacts and a steep battery penalty mean its spatial effect is not yet dependable as a reference for 'solved' personalized HRTF.
Next
Treat as the mass-market benchmark for shipped personalized-HRTF spatial audio; track whether CustomTune moves toward true individualized HRTF and whether the head-tracking artifacts and content inconsistency narrow in next-gen models.
