Learn about the head tracking function on Sony headphones or earbuds
What is the head tracking function on Sony headphones?
The head tracking feature improves your listening experience by adjusting spatial sound based on how you’re wearing your headphones. It helps create a more immersive and realistic sound, especially when paired with supported Android devices and apps that offer spatial audio.
Head tracking uses the Sony | Headphones Connect app to detect how your headphones sit on your head. It then adjusts the spatial sound to match, so the audio feels more anchored and lifelike—even as you move.
