If I wanted to watch a movie with the Vision Pro on say an airplane,
would the people around me hear the audio?
 
Audio isn’t pumped into your brain so I’m sure they would. You’ll have that huge thing on your face and most likely airpods in as well all for an amazing 2hr battery life.
 
Good question.. if they are anything like the Quest then yes. Others can hear mine in the same room not even just next to me. Maybe if you turned them down to almost nothing but not sure if that will help if someone is right next to you. Maybe Apple did some different things here. Wish I could say with 100% certainty.

You'd need to use headphones, ideally AirPods Pro I would think. Not really any different than any other device you'd use to watch a movie on a plane.

If you can afford the AVP, then you can afford to buy an extra battery pack. Problem solved.
 
Can you use AirPods Max with this? I absolutely cannot use earbuds. My ears get irritated so easily I need to use over-ear headphones. And I just generally despise earbuds.

Technically yes I would imagine, but it doesn't seem like it would fit over the headstraps super well.

Straight from the horse’s mouth:

Dual-driver audio pods positioned next to each ear deliver personalized sound while letting you hear what’s around you. Spatial Audio makes sounds feel like they’re coming from your surroundings. Audio ray tracing analyzes your room’s acoustic properties to adapt and match sound to your space. And if you want to use headphones with Apple Vision Pro, AirPods Pro (2nd generation) with USB‑C offer the perfect experience, featuring Lossless Audio with ultra-low latency enabled by the H2 chip in both devices.

The Apple ad shows a woman wearing AirPods with the VP in an airplane so I believe the built-in speakers would be audible to nearby people. Probably quiet, but audible.

I don’t get no Bluetooth headphone compatibility from that. It says AirPods Pro 2nd Gen USBC provide the perfect headphone experience, not the only headphone experience.
Bluetooth headphones might not be ideal for interactive use because of latency (probably very slight), but I imagine for simple movie playback, the latency doesn’t matter because video can be delayed to sync up.

That's not right. Apple said the USB-C AirPods Pro are required for lossless audio. Every other bluetooth headset will work fine, just not with lossless.

No, no, no. Other AirPods will work. Only the APP USB C will offer lossless audio, and only those that came with the USB C base. The add on USB C base will not allow lossless audio.

OK where does it say this because Apple’s own page only mentions the USB-C AirPods. Really want to know Because I can’t find it.
 
At its heart, Vision Pro is a Mac. It should have the same Bluetooth support. Can you think of any Bluetooth equipped Apple device or operating system that doesn’t support Bluetooth audio?
 
AVP definitely should have Bluetooth support, otherwise good luck connecting a keyboard to it. They just only mention the APPs for audio. Maybe they’re just trying to drive APP sales too? No idea, guess we’ll find out soon enough. I just figure if Bluetooth audio worked with any headset it would be mentioned on the AVP product page.
