Is that in the kind of information contained in binaural recordings? People=
 mentioned about directional information of the sound from how it reflects =
(/refracts?) through our ears/head etc.

If so, do those binaural recordings seem to have less reverb (than they do)=
? Then, does the noticeability of the reverb increase when using speakers (=
due to speakers not conveying the binaural information)?
