Binaural sound is a method to simulate the sense of space we hear in real world using headphones. While normal stereo recordings sound flat on the sides of your head, binaural recordings sound external, as if they are coming from a source away from your body. Binaural sound enables a more immersive listening experience giving you a sense of presence and space.
For an immersive introduction to binaural sound, plug in your headphones, turn up the volume, and play the "Introduction" below.
