Do the various Beats headphones support Spatial Audio from iPhone and iPad?
I have the AirPod Pros but considering getting the Beats Solo Pro headphones. (Just can’t justify the cost of the AirPod Max personally for the amount I would use them.)
 
Spatial audio is primarily the head tracking. I don't think the Beats have the ability to do that. (hence the price difference).

I understand but for the movies doesn’t it all stimulate the effect of surround sound?
 
Not really. I have a 5.1 speaker system and it sounds nothing like that. I compared an Atmos mix with spatial audio on the AirPods Max to a stereo mix from the same show and they sounded the same to me.
