The Crucial Role of Audio in Warzone

In Call of Duty: Warzone, every detail matters. From the distant sound of a helicopter to the echo of footsteps in a nearby building, audio plays a huge role in shaping how you experience the battlefield. With the introduction of Enhanced Headphone Mode (EHM), powered by Immerse Spatial Audio, Warzone offers an upgraded listening experience that brings depth, accuracy, and immersion like never before.

Why Sound Matters

Warzone is known for its dynamic environments, large-scale battles, and high-intensity engagements. Whether you're navigating urban structures, open fields, or underground bunkers, sound gives you essential context about what’s happening around you

With EHM, Warzone’s audio design is further refined to enhance:

• 360-Degree Spatial Awareness – Hear sounds as they naturally occur in space, making it easier to tell if something is happening above, below, or around you.
  
  
• Clearer Directional Cues – Tell where different sounds are coming from, whether it's footsteps, gunfire, or the environment.
  
  
• Immersive Depth & Distance Perception – Notice the difference between close-range and distant sounds, adding another layer of realism to your experience

Two Ways to Experience EHM

Enhanced Headphone Mode has two options to fit different listening styles:

• Universal Profile (Free for all players) – Your entry point to heightened spatial awareness, the Universal Profile is fine-tuned to capture every footstep, reload, and distant explosion.
  
  
• Personalized Profile (Free 4-week trial) – Take your tactical hearing to the next level with a Personalized Profile. With spatial sound customized to your unique physiology, every sound is balanced for maximum impact.
  

Both profiles work with any headphones or earbuds, making the upgrade accessible to all players without requiring new hardware.
