Finally got it and I notice no difference. Granted, I’m using AirPods 2nd gen, but I thought those were supported?
Did you Turn it on in control center? Should be a new toggle in volume.

Wow. I’m surprised, very surprised, how much better the music is with lossless, even on Bluetooth. The lack of compression let’s the mid’s exist on their own. Sure the highs are better but the stage is SO much better.
 
Wish there was an option to automatically redownload all music in better formats. I keep having to remove from library and then re add it.

I was really looking forward to this … but I find it very underwhelming! Normal stereo sounds far better to my ears through the AirPod max

Hi iPad The option is ready. Proved with AirPods Pro and dolby active the rumors are low and everything looks set. I don't like it. How did you put the various options? Thank you. Andrew

Be sure to check if you are using an EQ setting. I had mine set to Dance, and then turned it to off. I’m so much happier with it set to off, and listening to it in its pure form.

Equalizer off. iPad all fine iPhone The options is missing.
 
I have listened to much of the Made for Spatial Audio playlist, and was thoroughly pleased. I was happy to see my favorite song in the list, Here Comes the Sun by The Beatles. But man, The Doors Riders on the Storm is a must listen, even if you don’t like or normally listen to The Doors. 🤭
 
No one in my family has it yet. iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone XS, iPad, M1 Macbook Air all running the latest OS. I toggled every music setting, nothing. Even changed region to USA.

I am in Thailand, but device regions are India.
 
Ties That Bind by Alterbridge, the guitar has almost disappeared with Spatial Audio. 🤨
 
Spatial Audio for Music just doesn't work. I get the Dolby Atmos logo and everything but the Spatial Audio animation in control centers stays static. When I try the demo videos, it actually works. I can hear the sound coming from specific direction when I move my head. With music I don't get the same feeling.
I think it's a messy release and we just have to wait.

I suspect this is the best you can get for music. Unlike video is screen oriented, music can only emulate a bigger stage and the centre point is always fixed.... Imagine if you have your phone in your pocket, it would be weird if the sound is coming from your pocket.
