Abstract
In this paper, we describe a study of human auditory perception which focuses on sound localization and speech intelligibility. We present the results from experiments (n=4) which directly compared stereo headphones to 5.1 surround sound speakers. The results show that although localization ability is worse on headphones, it can be significantly improved by simulating free-field conditions. The results further show that speech intelligibility can be improved by using headphones and by separating speech and noise.
