Every question on Reddit can be googled, I asked because every article I read and both those links you gave just describe how it works on surround sound speakers, I'm specifically asking how this surround sound effect is achieved in headphones. I understand it's a "3d audio landscape" but how can you achieve 3d audio on headphones?

This is just the atmos marketing gobbledygook. It’s digital signal processing to fool you into hearing things in space. I don’t think it’s good for existing stereo sources and, for new releases, it’s just like surround sound.
