I have an Iphone with AirPods Pro and I'm globally pleased with the sound quality and features but I'd like to share some remarks and questions :

What I like :
  • sound quality of Airpods Pro
  • Apple advanced features : Spatialize Stereo, Head tracking, Personnalised Spatial Audio
What I don't like :
  • ergonomics of Apple audio settings is poor with uncomprehensive terminology
  • settings are spread over unrelated menus
  • No on/off switch for « Personnalised Spatial Audio » so impossible to do valid comparisons
  • Spatialise Stereo adds some "unwanted" room reverberation in both fixed and headtracked modes (spatialisation itself is quite good)
What I'd like to know/confirm :
  • does Dolby Atmos deactivate « Spatialise Stereo » but keep HRTF of « Personnalised Spatial Audio » ?
  • Ear Tip Fit Test seems to be just a low frequency test : no LF correction is applied
  • which EQ preset is best to get a response near Harman target : maybe "Acoustic" ?
I also tried to clarify audio settings :

If you have more informations, please let us know.

Spatialise Stereo isn't a simple cross feed. It's using a generic HRTF with head tracking.

Still can't get over how good the system is. I ran through a 7.1.6 tone test & the accuracy of placement is amazing.
