I had a really nice diagram that showed the hearing accuracy (MAAs etc) of different positions in the azimuth and elevation but I cant find it . If I remember rightly its generally true that horizontal localisation is better than vetrtical with a couple of exceptions - If I remember rightly horizontal localisation right behind the head is pretty bad though (plus/minus ten degrees ?) which is worse than some vertical positions, then you've got front back reversals, theres also the cone of confusion but I cant remember the localisation statistics for that in terms of horizontal vs vertical - if anyone finds such a diagram please post it !
Fully granted. My wording was nowhere near a proper psychoacoustically well-founded, precise description of what I alluded to. But at the same time, even differentially speaking, elevation and its ilk are a royal pain. No? Away from the horizontal plane, things get complicated, yes, but the overarching, mean, so-so picture is that we perceive elevation less accurately.
