Holy shit that demo is amazing. Are there more demos like that? I was wearing AirPods Pro and nearly jumped out of my seat, I thought someone walked into my room. That’s better than anything I’ve ever heard using so-called “spatial audio”, and it’s just surround sound.

I've found Dolby Atmos for Headphones to be pretty good. I play the video game Overwatch and it integrates atmos into it's sound processing pipeline and the sound is incredibly accurate. You can tell when people are behind/in front/above/below you very reliably.

I was using my old QC15s in the office...I had to stop about a quarter way in because it sounded for all the world like it was just in the room with me, and I couldn't convince my brain that only I was hearing this.

How have we not done better since? How is this not just in every video game now?
