3D Audio on Headphones: How Does It Work?

After propagating through the air and before arriving at the eardrum, the soundwave undergoes a filtering and delay effect due to the size and shape of our head and ears. The wavefront arrives at the ears at different times and with different frequency shapes. The delays and filters will depend on the angle from which the sound originates. ⁠
⁠
When listening to headphones, this filtering and delaying effect is essentially bypassed and the direct signal is inserted almost directly into our eardrums (depending on the headphone type).⁠
