This is also the reason why some audiophile-quality headphones sound more like being in a room full of speakers, rather than everything sounding like it's right next to your ears and inside your head.

Good open-back and semi-closed-back headphones can emulate the way these frequencies bounce off the ridges—or pinna—of your ear when listening to speakers, creating an accurate, realistic surround-sound effect. This is known as the Pinna-Related Transfer Function, or PRTF. If you're looking to buy a pair of headphones for gaming or movies, this is an important spec to consider.
