Well the title is a bit dogdy, it's actually a virtual surround or 5.1 coming to earphones, transmitted from phones, and this type of concept already exists. If you have a C-Media software for audio test, you might get a helicopter application, where you can make the sound "sound" like it's coming from behind you even if you only have a 2 channel system.

 

The concept comes from SRS Labs, and it shouldn't be much different from the PC version.

 

According to SRS:

  • SRS Circle Surround Headphone ups the ante for the consumer mobile video experience by unleashing latent surround sound.
  • SRS Circle Surround Headphone is the answer for wireless service
    providers, media sites and device makers that rely on 2-channel-audio-based architecture for video playback

Unfortunately it seems you actually need the CS headphones, otherwise the sound will be plain stereo, although it seems to be that there might be a digital solution to this.

 

SRS obviously wants to win the hearts of tons of mobile operators and DVB-h providers on this technology.
