Binaural

A situation involving listening with two ears. Binaural sound also refers to a specific sound playback technology, used mainly in headphones-based research and virtual reality applications, in which an individual's Head Related Transfer Functions (HRTF's) are determined and synthesized to enable 3-D auditory experiences that are indistinguishable from reality.
