“Playing enhanced spatial audio albums and playlists on Apple Music (there are tons of such content on the service) with head tracking switched on made me feel like I was listening to the artists live in the recording studio,” Vazharov says in his review. “The Buds2 Pro made familiar tracks sound more immersive and more enjoyable.”
