Immersive, cinema‑like sound.
Personalised Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking2 places sound all around you, creating a three‑dimensional listening experience for music, TV shows, movies, games and more.

-

Calibrates music to your ears. Adaptive EQ automatically tunes music to your ears. Inward‑facing microphones detect what you’re hearing, then adjust low and midrange frequencies to deliver rich detail in every song.

Real talk in real time. Connect on FaceTime in crisp, HD quality with an AAC-ELD speech codec. And Group FaceTime calls sound more true to life than ever with support for Personalised Spatial Audio.

Powered by the H2 chip and upgraded microphones, it helps reduce low-frequency environmental noise — like aeroplane engines, air conditioning systems and city traffic — before it reaches your ears.
