A new customisable audio feature in Call Of Duty : Black Ops 6 is sparking debate on social media , but what is it and is it free to use? This year’s Call Of Duty is doing many things right , including a fast levelling system, new maps, and the innovative new omnimovement system, which lets you run and dive in any direction. But it’s been revealed that Black Ops 6 also comes with an enhanced audio option for those who use headphones; one which hasn’t been received well by fans. There’s been a lot of confusion as to what Enhanced Headphone Mode is, with complaints of it encouraging a pay-to-win element in the game, but the truth isn’t necessarily as bad as some are making out.

What is the Enhanced Headphone Mode in Black Ops 6? The Enhanced Headphone Mode is a third party audio option you’ll be able to buy within Black Ops 6 and is compatible with ‘any headphone or earbud’. A Call Of Duty blog post says that the feature uses Embody’s Immerse Spatial Audio technology ‘to increase the directional accuracy of sounds played in the world’. Additionally, it will prioritise ‘the most important sounds to the player at any given moment’.

For example, the sounds of enemies will be emphasised more than teammates. The Enhanced Headphone Mode also comes with a Head Related Transfer Function, which ’emulates the way that sounds are affected by the shape of your head and your ears before you actually hear them.’ How much does Enhanced Headphone Mode cost in Blac.
