Share songs that sound as if the music is coming from outside your headphones

[AdamDamon]

Have you ever listened to a song with headphones, and you had to check that they’re connected properly, because the music sounds as if you’re hearing it from a distance instead of from inside your headphones? Feel free to share!

For me, one track that always seems to have this effect is Weedpecker’s song, “Molecule":

In particular, I notice this phenomenon at the very beginning of the song, where echoing guitar notes seem to be slowly drifting closer towards the listener as the song sort of “fades into focus.”

I’m not sure what sort of production techniques are responsible for this audio effect, but I think it creates an especially nice and immersive listening experience when using headphones.
