That is the exact point I was arguing against, maybe you should read my comment again

Our hearing is not one-dimensional, whether the dimension of sound is measured exactly by our ears or interpreted by our brain does not matter, what matters is we DO perceive 3dimensional sound and that makes audio equipment that plays sound from different directions produce a noticeable effect

Now, you say that due to its "interpreted" nature it is easily tricked, but since it varies from person to person due to our personal HRTF, you cannot trick it both "accurately" and universally and it would require personalised tuning to achieve an identical result as sound coming from a specific direction

So wouldn't that make a "smart" headset that can adapt to its user or allow him to calibrate 3d sound, and an headset that actually plays 3d sound, both valid options?

And wouldn't the latter be the most accessible option, since it works ootb?

So how does that matter? Whether the dimensionality of sound is measured or "virtually" calculated, at the end of the day it is something we perceive (pretty accurately, I'd say)

So how would audio equipment taking advantage of this be "fluff"?

After all, what matters is that we can discern between two sound waves coming from different directions

No, this is not fancy, nor does it pretend to be, this is simply not treating you like an entitled karen or a special needs kid

And I simply compared the difference in service, most restaurants in Italy serve bread on the table, but if I went to a restaurant in Japan and complained of the lack of bread, like you are complaining about an unsliced pizza, I'd be rightfully seen as an i‎d‎io‎t

First of all not everyone cuts or eats pizza the same way, and "you paid for the service" doesn't mean jack shit.

You paid to sit at the table, and to have your pizza cooked and served, no one guarantees slicing the pizza being part of the service, nor is it written in stone that it has to be. Is it so hard to understand that not everyone wants that service, nor is it standard in certain places to offer it?

It's like I went to a restaurant in Japan and complained there is no bread on my table

Dude you have to cut one slice at a time, eat it, then cut another by making a cut right next to that one.

It takes 2 seconds to apply a single cut, it gets colder if you slice it ENTIRELY right away instead of the slice you want to eat, simply because it loses heat faster when it's all sliced up
