Then you didn't read it. "By obtaining and reproducing these signals in a controlled way over headphones, you can reproduce an auditory event in space and experience it in an extremely lifelike way." It's not gimmicky or trickery in any way. It's pure science. To determine where sound is coming from (right, left, front, back, above, below, any mix), our miraculous brain - with help from our ears - somehow processes the difference in time between sound waves reaching one ear vs the other. So you can assume sophisticated computer programming generates sound to replicate that phenomenon within headphones. Get Creepy Chris Ahlstrom's physically strong wife in here for a real explanation; she's a hearing science instructor at a medical university.
