Smartphones are most likely the platform's main audience, but the number of devices it supports has expanded to almost any screen you may have at home. While those screens handle the visual element of the service, audio varies more considerably depending on your equipment. Unfortunately, most Netflix users are limited to the speakers on their phones, headphones, or TVs, few of which provide immersive surround sound. In order to level the playing field a little, Netflix and Sennheiser have collaborated to offer a new type of spatial audio for all devices with stereo speakers that does not require additional equipment.

It won't come cheap: customers will pay $10,000 for hardware alone before using it.
