If you're listening from an Apple TV, you can listen to Dolby Atmos through speakers that support the format, or through the aforementioned AirPods and Beats headphones. Dolby Atmos songs work on all headphones, you just need to turn on 'Always On' in your iPhone or iPad settings first.
It also works through the built-in speakers on iPhones and iPads released in the last few years, except the iPhone SE, but I found it much more noticeable through headphones.īut you don't actually need AirPods or Beats headphones.BeatsX, Beats Solo3 Wireless, Beats Studio3, Powerbeats3 Wireless, Beats Flex, Powerbeats Pro or Beats Solo Pro.AirPods Pro or AirPods Pro Max, with Spatial Audio turned on.
You need an Apple Music trial or a subscription, which costs $4.99 a month for students, $9.99 a month for individuals or $14.99 a month for families up to six people.
