Spatial audio is coming to Clubhouse; the company announced on Sunday the feature will first come to iOS users and will be available for its Android app soon. Spatial audio makes listening immersive by creating a 3D surround effect; it makes sense for Clubhouse to add support since it’s an audio chat app.
Spatial audio has begun rolling out to iOS users, and it will be the default experience for all new users (it can be turned off in the settings, of course!). Clubhouse says the feature will make the listening experience “a bit more lifelike and human.” We already know Apple’s AirPods Pro and AirPods Max support spatial audio, and Clubhouse says it works best with wired or Bluetooth-connected headphones.
Netflix recently rolled out support for spatial audio, a feature also supported by Disney+ and HBO Max. As the competition increased, Clubhouse stopped being invite-only and adding support for spatial audio seems like a step in the right direction.
