The new Apple TV 4K doesn't have spatial audio. The feature is used by the AirPods Max, but it's only available on iPhone and iPad. Matt Friedman says he has experienced this using his wife's AirPods Pro. He said that when you move your head from left to right with them in place, sound comes out of where they're sitting. It can also position sounds around you or behind you like surround sound would.
