Apple's AirPods Pro are already the best wireless earbuds, but they're about to get even better Apple announced several new features for its premium buds, including spatial audio and Dolby Atmos support

During the WWDC 2020 keynote, which also featured iOS 14, iPadOS, and watchOS 7 announcements, Apple announced several new features for the AirPods Pro

Spatial audio uses algorithms and the gyroscope and other sensors in the AirPods Pro to sense how you are moving your head and adjust the audio reaching your ears So if you are listening to something on a "forward" audio source and turn your head, the sound will be louder in the ear closest to that motion In addition, AirPods Pro also supports Dolby Atmos

This should be an important feature, especially as Apple moves deeper into augmented reality (AR)

Another update to the AirPods Pro, which is key for those with multiple Apple devices, is automatic switching That is, if you are listening to a podcast on your phone and then move to your Mac to watch a movie, the AirPods Pro will automatically switch to your laptop as the source This also works with iPods and Apple Watches
