Binaural recording puts the mics where a listener's ears would be, so the file carries the small timing and level differences that place a sound around the head on headphones. On speakers it plays back as ordinary stereo. The beach house room tones were recorded this way, with wildlife outside, household noises inside and the windows open in some takes and shut in others. Several of the sci-fi sets also come as Ambisonics, which suits VR and games where the sound has to turn as the player looks around. The binaural versions suit a headphone mix, and they work in trailers and podcasts too.
