With the poor software quality control from Apple lately, I wonder if you really want to apply this update without waiting for someone else to brick their AirPods.
That would be funny, if it were true. I am running beta everything, works far better than any version of windows I've ever used. I know some people try to create false narratives for whatever reason, but until I experience it myself, I ain't buying it
 
I just tested it with Apple Tvs "For All Mankind" and its really trippy. The Spatial audio makes it seem like the sounds are projecting directly from my Ipad, I had to take off my Airpod pros for second cause it was a lil confusing at first. Wow!

I just updated my AirPods and tried the same thing. I do not notice a difference when turning on and off.
 
Just tried out spatial audio on my iPad. Very cool! The illusion of the audio coming from the iPad is so convincing that I actually thought at first that the sound was coming from my iPad’s speakers. Had to take an AirPod out of my ear to confirm I was really hearing it from the AirPods themselves. I would really like to learn more about whatever dark magic Apple is using to pull off this illusion!
