Features labelled <strong>spatial audio</strong>, <strong>3D audio</strong>, or <strong>virtual surround</strong> are designed to create that impression.</p> <p>The useful idea is simpler than the names suggest: spatial audio tries to reproduce some of the clues your hearing normally uses to locate real sounds. It does not literally place a speaker behind your head. Instead, the playback system changes the sound reaching your ears so your brain can interpret it as coming from a particular direction.</p>
