-Out-of-head localization- in binaural headphone listening has been found to be possible when the acoustic energy density ratio of reflected sound to direct sound in a room is controlled properly. An analysis has been made concerning the characteristics of reflected sound at both ears, and a new headphone system has been constructed which achieves equivalence between headphone and loudspeaker listening.
