Sorry, but there's really nothing to see here right now. Our server is in maintenance mode – and our
little bot is trying to sort the error messages with its last bit of energy.
Whether it was a data leak, a power outage in the cluster, or just a grumpy bit – we don't know yet.
But what we do know is:
The data drama escalated into a server meltdown. But don't worry: We're on it.
What now?
Everything is surely running smoothly over at our colleagues from inside
digital – why not stop by!
Or you could pass the time by visiting our social media channels – for example Instagram, YouTube or TikTok. At least there are no
server problems there – promised.
Thanks for your patience. Our bot is already rebooting at full speed. 🔧
NewsElectric VehiclesGoogle’s Pixel Buds Pro Gain Spatial Audio – Here’s How to Activate this Feature
The Pixel Buds Pro were launched last year. Like with other premium noise-cancelling earbuds, the pair come with spatial audio with head tracking. But it’s only today that Google is activating the feature through an over-the-air software update.
Google is announcing on its support blog that the Pixel Buds Pro reviewed by NextPit last year is gaining the much-needed spatial audio and head tracking features. The update is already rolling out globally, but as the search giant noted, it could still take time until next week before the software hits all Pixel Buds Pro users.
What do you need to use spatial audio on Google Pixel Buds Pro
For starters, spatial audio is also known as immersive or 360-degree sound. This enhances the typical stereo output of the headphones into surround sound comparable to theater-like virtual space. And with dynamic head-tracking, similar to Apple’s upcoming AirPods Max 2 and the current AirPods Pro 2, the sound will follow your head’s movement and position.
Using the feature will require that the videos or songs are enabled with spatial audio and at least 5.1+ surround sound. At the same time, the smartphone along with the app should also support spatial audio and head tracking. Google says that this is available to Pixel 6 (Pro) and Pixel 7 (Pro).
How to enable Spatial Audio on Google’s Pixel Buds Pro
Spatial audio and head tracking can be enabled separately right from any compatible Google Pixel phone. You should also connect to the Pixel Buds Pro before tweaking the settings for head tracking.
Go to the phone’s Settings app.
Look for Sounds & vibrations.
Select the Spatial Audio section.
You can toggle on or off spatial audio.
Switching on the head tracking feature is separately done from the general settings and going to Connected Devices > Pixel Buds Pro > Settings and toggle on the head tracking.
Do you use spatial audio on your headphones as well? We’d like to hear your experience of this immersive sound experience.
