ELY5:

Our ears only have left and right *inputs.*

Our brains can tell where things come from because the shape of our head and our ears change how things sound before the waves hit our eardrum.

8D audio (and other similar effects) simply simulates what the shape of your head and ears do to the sound to make it sound like its coming from different directions.
