Hi, everyone,
I may have posted about this before, and if so, my appologies, but I'm trying to figure out which Soundscape-type apps support head tracking, but with Sony's LinkBuds rather than Apple's AirPods Pros. I have a set of Pros and while I do like them, I find their transparency mode less-than ideal when navigating out and about; I find they make traffic sound just a bit off. I saw that their's a Cyber Monday sale on Sony's LinkBuds on Amazon, which you can get for $128 US, which is awesome! However, I use VoiceVista when out and about, and from looking at the app, it seems that it only supports head tracking with Apple's AirPods. I do not want to have to hold the phone out in front of me when walking, because for one thing, it kinda looks weird and is tiring, and for another, this is extremely uncomfortable in the winter when temperatures go below freezing. So, with that said, does anyone know if any of these Soundscape clones support head tracking with the Sony LinkBuds? I know the first Soundscape did, but that doesn't help me now lol.
Thanks,
Shersey

Tried to buy a pari of new Sony linkbuds, and found the newest firmware removed Head tracking feature for iOS platform. (No more BLE connection for motion data exchange)
Release notes in the "Sony Headphones App":

*Only for smartphones running Android 13 or newer that support Head Tracking
