> you (and I) may have significantly better ‘cans for music or movies, but we certainly don’t have better ‘cans for VR.

I specifically chose the Phillips FidelioX1s (i.e. nothing special in general) because they’re known for being very good with dolby binaural surround sound. I actually got them a few years back with VR in mind.

It’s going to be interesting comparing the rifts headphones which are actually designed for VR with these which just got lucky in the binaural department.

I can almost certainly pull most bass with my headphones though, so a slight drop in positional audio might be worth the improvement in bass. It depends how much HRTF matters in comparison to the basic idea of sound moving as you move your head.
