Soundstage recognition training?

[Jonathan W]

So as the title suggests..I'm wondering if anyone has any links to sound files or videos that will help me train my brains recognition of the soundstage? Like a Surround sound tester..

 

But for headphones.

 

I have a new pair of HD518s and playing videogames they have a pretty solid sound stage if sound is moving around me or past me quickly but if it's not it can be hard to tell exactly what direction sound is coming from aside from Forward/Back/Left/Right. If I or the sound source is standing still while making sound I find I have to concentrate much harder than i'd like on the sound to figure out where it's coming from. I assume it's a limit of me and not my headphones, so if anyone has any free techniques they could use to help me that'd be awesome

Just look online for "sound localization" tests. You'll get all sorts of videos and audio files for that.

 

Or "3d" audio tests.

Also look for "binaural" recordings, theyre really good at showing off the 3d-ness of your soundstage.

Search ambisonics.
Really the headphones dont change much how a surround effect would sound.
How the surround effect is made is more important.
