    Not really. It’s up to the software, soundcard, and/or recording.

    Stereo headphones are surround. The reason laptop speakers are not is because they are in front of you. Headphones are one for each ear, separate.

    Our brain is very sensitive to phase difference between sound in either ear. That is how we can tell sound direction. It’s like triangulation, except the third variable is the shape of our ears (is it comming from the front or the back, see HRTF again).

    There is no such thing as surround headphones. There can not even be such a thing. All headphones are surround. It’s either sound card drivers, software in the chain, the recording itself, or just marketing. Get “normal” headphones and check out some directional audio videos on youtube.

    Openal is an audio library used by some older games and they patched HRTF into it to make it sound even more surround.

    Decent headphones that are comfortable are better then even more expensive full room setups, although just for one person.

    Edit: Funny enough the last time I explained this was to an audio engineer. Took him a bit, but he got it when I used sharks ears as an example.

    I deleted it…

    Because I said I hate the man-hating “feminism” that was popular a few years ago, and that I am a good person. Ofc you can’t be feminist if you dislike sexist women.

    That was only like 1/3 or 1/4 of what I said and you can find it if you search for the deleted reply here, as only that part is deleted.

    Edit: I restored it, you can go read and downvote now. Didn’t know you can restore.

    “Man up” isn’t always about bottling your feeling like the US internet says. More often it’s “stop complaining and just do it”. And someone has to do “it”. And it often leads to growth.

    The internet often distorts things.

    As for the topic, I am a feminist. The first and second wave feminism, that is. The equality ones. Not the pink haired screaming “all men are evil and should pay” third wave. Everybody screaming “patriarchy” while sitting on their bed, not even looking further then that. Looking at everything black and white.

    Actually, I’m kinder to women then men…
