Immersive sound gives the listener the experience of ‘being there through sound’. So what is it that makes a listener feel immersed?

With 3D sound localisation and reverberation, listeners feel enveloped in sound.
Lateral reverberation and a wide sound image give a sense of spatial width and depth.
Top speakers provide a vertical localisation of sound images.
