You can mix a surround effect for stereo headphones with audio plugins like DearVR Pro but I personally find all these psychoacoustic effects lacking. I wouldn't use them for music. For effects they are fine, though. Mixing with such plugins is weird because you have to run everything through them and "build" any stereo effects by hand - because sounds become so localizable that they sound like someone positioned a single speaker somewhere. Just like real surround sound, it also often sounds very unnatural and you cannot really use any other reverbs or delays for sound sculpting.
