Remember this!
Binaural and stereo are both terms related to audio technology and sound reproduction. However, the difference between them lies in their specific techniques and applications. Binaural refers to a recording or playback method that uses two microphones or headphones to create a three-dimensional sound experience, often used for headphone listening and virtual reality. On the other hand, stereo refers to a system or method that uses two channels or speakers to create a sense of depth and separation between sounds, commonly used for both headphone and speaker listening.
