I was on a gaming forum earlier and out of the blue I was thinking about the psyko audio surround headphones. They randomly popped into my mind due to their solution to surround sound headphones which is to introduce small pipes to induce the same kind of latencies our ears experience with a real 5.1 system. Unlike other kinds of surround sound headphones which stick every driver into your ears. Honestly I am not a fan of these kinds of solutions even though I have never tried this particular one, but it got me to thinking about the idea of pipping sound in a similar fashion. (for reference, http://www.psykoaudio.com/)
I am a stereo headphone kind of guy even for gaming, nothing can come close to touching them especially these kinds of phones. But like all headphones sharp channel separation can be a problem, since the natural properties of speaker sound don't exist in headphones. That is unless you have something liek the K1000's which in terms of open headphones make all others look as if they were wearing bathing suits while those are completely in the nude.
But lets say we could use a similar sound pipe style tech to mimic that natural speaker sound through out closed and open headphones. Then these sound pipes came to mind, I don't know how it would work but it could mimic the latency and left hears right and right hears left that we can afford on speakers. Without the need of software cross feed.
I bring this to the sound forum for two reasons, if its completely impossible you guys around these parts can make compelling arguments
. At the same time if it is possible I might possibly get someone to ponder testing and experimentation which I neither have the fund or expertise to figure through
