An apparatus provides personalized binaural audio rendering of an input signal. The apparatus has a left ear transducer configured to generate a left ear audio signal and a right ear transducer configured to generate a right ear audio signal. Moreover, the apparatus has processing circuitry configured to determine, based on a current target direction of the input signal, an adjusted current target direction using a personalized adjustment function that describes a functional relationship between a plurality of reference target directions of a reference sound signal and a plurality of perceived reference target directions of the reference sound signal as perceived by a user. The processing circuitry is further configured to implement a target direction renderer configured to generate based on the input signal and the adjusted target direction a first driving signal for driving the left ear transducer and a second driving signal for driving the right ear transducer.
