Examples of the disclosure describe systems and methods for presenting an audio signal to a user of a wearable head device. In an example, a received first input audio signal is processed to generate a left output audio signal and a right output audio signal presented to ears of the user. Processing the first input audio signal comprises applying a delay process to the first input audio signal to generate a left audio signal and a right audio signal; adjusting gains of the left audio signal and the right audio signal; applying head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) to the left and right audio signals to generate the left and right output audio signals. Applying the delay process to the first input audio signal comprises applying an interaural time delay (ITD) to the first input audio signal, the ITD determined based on the source location.

Examples of the disclosure describe systems and methods for presenting an audio signal to a user of a wearable head device. According to an example method, a first input audio signal is received, the first input audio signal corresponding to a source location in a virtual environment presented to the user via the wearable head device. The first input audio signal is processed to generate a left output audio signal and a right output audio signal. The left output audio signal is presented to the left ear of the user via a left speaker associated with the wearable head device. The right output audio signal is presented to the right ear of the user via a right speaker associated with the wearable head device. Processing the first input audio signal comprises applying a delay process to the first input audio signal to generate a left audio signal and a right audio signal; adjusting a gain of the left audio signal; adjusting a gain of the right audio signal; applying a first head-related transfer function (HRTF) to the left audio signal to generate the left output audio signal; and applying a second HRTF to the right audio signal to generate the right output audio signal. Applying the delay process to the first input audio signal comprises applying an interaural time delay (ITD) to the first input audio signal, the ITD determined based on the source location.
