Does that work if you only have a pair of stereo headphones?

I've had quad speakers before (with a "delay" unit for the rear speakers) but I think it would be hard to do 3D in stereo (I know about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_audio_effect and HRTFs but I have never noticed any 3d-ness to the sound I'm listening to in games).

I hear stereo, but no 3d effect beyond distance from microphone attenuating volume.

Yes, on standard stereo headphones, a binauralized sound can give the impression of sound coming from all around your head. It mimics the filtering acoustic effects applied by your head and ears
