   Which is better for 3D spatial audio?
   
   Something I have noticed is 3D audio never sounds authentic.
   It just sounds like a 2D sound panning left and right.
   Would IEMs improve the immersion?

   A good set of over-ear headphones work much better for spatial/360 audio
   
   in fact a comparable set of headphones will typically sound better than iems, they're just more expensive and harder to drive

   What about headphones built specifically for 3D

   We can't all be boring losers like you who are content with staring at a while while smoking crack

   To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Dream’s Minecraft manhunt. The tricks are extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of Minecraft mechanics most of the tricks will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also a multitude of tricks invented by Dream, such as the lava boat parkour and placing tnt through the end portal, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his lava boat trick is taken from reddit, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these tricks, to realise that they're not just cool- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Dream truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the time when Dream baited BadBoyHalo to the edge and knocked him into the void after pearling behind him in Dream’s existential video "Speedrunner vs 3 Hunters" which itself is a cryptic reference to ”Speedrunner but my friend tries to stop me”. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dream’s genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. :joy:
   
   And yes, by the way, i DO have a Dream tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid :sunglasses:

   You don't need fancy graphoids and sound if the experience is a good one.
