The Virtual Barbershop

I bet you already heard those awesome 3D surround sounds that sounds so incredibly realistic and creepy too, but this is nothing compared to Holophonic sounds, sounds intriguing? Clips recorded using holophonic recording technique enable the listener to accurately measure the distance and the position of the speaker, this is mainly due to our brain at work.

Quoted from Wikipedia

The human head imprints frequency-dependent distortions of phase and amplitude on sound reaching the eardrums, that are frequency-dependent level differences and these distortion effects vary with the direction of the sound source (being caused by the geometry and sound-transmitting characteristics of the sinus and throat cavities, eustachian tubes, inner ear, external ears, and other hard and soft tissues in the head and upper body (see: head-related transfer function, "HRTF").

Experiencing this on your own is better than any explaination given, just plug in your headphone ( yes, you must use headphone to experience it ) and simply play the clip given =D
