   I didn't know what 8D audio was. I found this.

"8D audio is essentially an effect applied to a stereo track where songs have been edited with spacial reverb and mixing to make it seem like the audio moving in a circle around your head. This experience can only be achieved by wearing headphones, which the gimmick relies upon to create the illusion of a 360 degree space."

Don't know if I want audio circling around my head but I'll check it out. Anyone here have thoughts about it?
