IOS – Is Spatial Audio used while listening to music on AirPods Pro

airpodsiosiphonemusic

When I'm listening to music from my iPhone (iOS 14) with my AirPods Pro, I don't want Spatial Audio on because I don't always have my phone near me – will this affect my audio?

I prefer to leave the setting on, instead of toggling it when I listen to music.

Spatial Audio is only used for video:

Spatial audio with dynamic head tracking brings a theater-like surround-sound experience to the movie or video you're watching...

You can confirm if the content you're listening to supports spatial audio by toggling it off and on:
