Qualcomm brings Dynamic Spatial Audio to Snapdragon 8 Gen 2

Another one of the new features to expect in Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is an improvement in the audio space. This new chipset will allow for Dynamic Spatial Audio. This means the sound will move with you as you move your head if you're using compatible earbuds, that is. This new addition should be familiar to Samsung or Apple earbud users.
