Question

What are recommended headphones for spatial audio supported by the Meta Audio XR SDK in Unity?

I'd like to find the best headphones (not in-ear) for spatial audio experiences supported by the Meta XR Audio SDK and meta quest 3 headsets. Are there any directly recommended by Meta? 

More context: I'm developing a spatial audio experience in Unity and I'm using a standard meta quest 3 headset.

Hello! I think any good pair of gaming headphones should work for you. I am currently using a pair of Sennheiser PC38x and they have not disappointed. Of course, when creating an experience is better to use high quality files and test how the audio sounds on different devices.

If you want Spatial Audio (the technology from Apple) and also something that you can develop with, I think the Airpods Max can help you with that.
