Which headphones of Drop's currently available?
I have some rewards points to burn but there's no obviously good options on Drop right now for headphones Contenders Ultrasone - maybe? I don't own any Ultrasones, so curious. Looks like garbage travel headphone which could be useful also. Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro. - Maybe? I have the DT 880 Good price point, really uncomfortable headphones but could be interesting to try the upgraded version. E-MU - strong contender but $400 is a bad price point for what it is. Which of the above would you choose and why? Nothing else on Drop is relevant to my interests, because Already own 6xx 820 800 s Ether cx Garbage / Consumer grade Meze 99 - garbage bass canons, hard pass No gaming headphones obviously Sennheiser wireless - no to wireless/bluetooth Hifiman - I have 2 of drop hifimans and they make really bad cheap shit on Drop, hard pass on HE-R7DX Aeon - I own the closed, Drop refuses to address #padgate so no reason to buy open Beyerdynamic 177x - wireless, nope Too similar 8x / 560s...

Out Of Your Head simply recreates the speaker listening experience. So with two channel audio, you hear the audio as if it were being played on two speakers in a room. With 5.1 or 7.1 audio, you hear the audio as if you were sitting in a room with 8 speakers arranged in a 7.1 surround configuration.
It sounds just like real speakers and what you would hear from real speakers with that particular recording.
The locations of specific sounds or instruments, etc. is dependent on the recording and recording engineer. Out Of Your Head is not creating or trying to extract any additional information from the recording. It's simply playing the recording through virtual speakers.
So, to answer your question directly, Out Of Your Head plays the sound from the speakers that are assigned to each channel in the source media/recording.
I hope that makes sense. -Darin
