wait, i'm having trouble with what Myrmidon and T-Bone just said, but more T-Bone than the former. He kind of disproves Myrmidon's statements
"If I hear something behind me and to the right, I can turn my head..."
So, wait. if surround sound is only possible if you turn your head to pick up on the difference in wavelength, then how did you know the sound was behind and to the right in the first place.
Humans are amongst the few on earth that have the ability to distinguish sound location naturally, without moving ears or head.
Surround sound in a headphone is done by placing several tiny speakers inside, and activating each individually, similar to 7.1 surround. Its not trickery, or false promises, if a sound is behind an to the right, then the sound is put through the right headphone, rear most speakers.
