    Enhanced Headphone Mode will be available to all players for free.

    $20 is for 5 years subscription of Personalized profile for EHM.

    If the personalized profile actually provide higher precision audio then yeah it is probably ‘worth it’ if Cod is the only game you play/or play competitively.

    After all a good pair of stereo headphone is more ‘pay to win’ and also cost way more.

    I’ve never used spatial audio in a CoD game - does it really give that much of an advantage in multiplayer? I doubt it but idk

      I cant speak to CoD specifically, but being able to locate opponents, shots, activity etc by sound is a massive advantage in many multiplayer shooters. I can personally vouch for its relevance in CS, Apex Legends, Arma 2&3, The Finals, DayZ, and Battlefield.
