If you're interested in what this might sound like (spatial audio) the announcement video uses it. To watch it you need to be using your iOS device + AirPods:

I’m on the latest iOS beta with AirPods Pro. In Chrome the media element won’t open. When I open in Safari it takes me to the Apple Music app, which can’t play the trailer because I don’t have an account.

It’s like they’re warning me the problems with walled gardens.

Do you have Apple Music disabled in the Music app? I don't subscribe to apple music, and the link originally didn't work for me. After I turned "Show Apple Music" back on, the link worked.
This is incredible. It sounds like it's playing in a 3D space. I really didn't expect the difference to be noticeable to my non-audiophile ears. This is going to be a must-have feature for a lot of streaming music users.
Does that only have spatial audio on iOS 14.6? I'm on 14.5.1, and I just hear regular stereo, even though spatial audio works for me in the TV app.
Not in beta, or works for me.
