In addition to typical stereo, your ears have a certain shape. When sound comes from various directions, it interacts in certain ways with those shapes and makes differences in the sound. You have been learning your whole life how to interpret these differences. These sound differences can be mimicked in the recording/playback to trick you into thinking it’s coming from a different direction.
