Nothing special yet but did find the 8 d songs about 2 weeks ago as I was trying to test the q35.

I like the spatial aspect these audio experiences bring. It’s sort of mesmerizing and brings about a sort of peaceful tranquility

Am I missing something? What’s the surprise?

I have known 3D, 8D, 12D, … (x) D recordings for several months.
On my Liberty 2 Pro, some recordings produce fantastic sound effects. 
But you can’t listen to them for too long (max 2-3 recordings), then I feel tired 
.
My favorite recordings are:

Lol same, the effect makes me want to go to sleep. Can’t do that in the middle of the day though!
Well I wondered if that’s what she meant but it was just a recording of the article with no music. Maybe that’s it.
Edit I just listened to it with my earbuds and the talking just keeps moving back and forth between L and R channels. I guess that’s it, but it just sounded like stereo to me. Maybe you need headphones for it to sound like it’s coming from different places other than just panning L to R and back.

@Steve976 I think that’s it.

On my Liberty 2 Pro I hear exactly as you write. There is an additional echo as if in a large empty room.

I actually listened to a few on one of the threads @sodojka had shared… seemed more like the fader / balance controls being shifted right to left and back… while interesting, I didn’t find it some thing that would draw me to seek out more…
I’ll give the one here a listen later today…

Thanks for reminding my thread.
It seems to me that our brain does not perceive these types of recordings well. I had a similar impression when I once bought a new TV and tried to watch the image with 3D glasses . The effect was immediate then and I felt very badly.
When I watch 3D movies in the cinema, everything is great - I feel very well

8D audio has been making rounds on Soundcore Collective since 2020, @Loz started it 
… Anything new here?

Yea I don’t think there was anything new in this post but I will say that I haven’t listened to anything past 8D. Some times it’s a little weird feeling to listen to 8D so I have to be that kind of mood tbh
I like 8d but it’s not something I could constantly listen to other wise I think I would slowly lost the little sanity I have
I have a few *D tracks book marked.
Our outer ear shape delivers sound to our ears with tiny phase differences.
We can tell where a sound is coming from just using one ear!
It’s this that the 8D effect is emulating.
Listening with my Q35s the sound mainly circles just above my head.
My previous headphones had an in ear design and the spatial effect of these tracks was clearer and more precise. This is not a fault of the headphones but our ears modifying the sounds between earphone and ear drum.
I suggest listening to these tracks using ear buds to get the true effect.
This is a favourite 8D “collection” of 3 songs.
Try with the different pre-set EQs - they make a real difference to the effect.
My Favourite:
This one was recorded live using an artificial head to capture the 3 dimensional sound. You can see it in the video. (I listen with orchestra EQ).
I played this on both laptop and phone.
There was a noticeable improvement on the phone with the LDAC codec being used.

These sound good.

@roger186 Thanks for all the explanations and shared recordings. I listened to everything - the one with the orchestra has the most spectacular sound effects. 
For me, however, the 2 recordings I shared are the best.
You can hear on these recordings not one, but as many as 2 (circulating in space) sound sources.

All those NumberD are artificial. So I am not a fan of those. But I like binaural recordings
