Dynamically updating simulated source locations of audio sources

Some examples of the disclosure are directed to systems and methods for dynamically updating simulated source locations of audio sources within spatialized audio content based on detection of a change in the location and / or orientation of an audio output device (e.g., earbuds or speakers that are optionally worn by a user and are optionally included in a headset). In some examples, the simulated source locations are updated if the change in the location and / or orientation of the audio output device is greater than a threshold amount of change, and the simulated source locations are not updated if the change in the location and / or orientation of the audio output device is not greater than the threshold amount of change. In some examples, a simulated source location is identified in a three-dimensional environment. In some examples, a mode of outputting audio is changed in response to movement of an electronic device.
