I have listened to a CD where this works with headphones.
It was called cyb****** (which was mostly heavy breathing and associated sounds, you get the idea). Most disconcerting hearing someone speak from close behind your head when there is a chair there. Spooky.
I have a Gravis Ultrasound sound card in my old 486PC that had the ability to generate virtual audio such as this into headphones, very good for first person games that supported it.

On my friend's singulars with AER drivers I listened to Comfortably numb, performed by the London Philharmonic (from Us And Them: Symphonic Pink Floyd)
and the horn section was definitely about 15 degrees above the horizontal on the right. I am getting goose bumps again remembering it.

I do not know where they usually place the brass section in an orchestra. Is this where they really are?

(*** is the technical name for the bit at the end.... )
