Spatial audio cues in videogames work just fine for me with headphones!
When I play Valorant and am trying to be sneaky, I will tune out whatever my teammates are saying to listen for footsteps, or other audio cues that might indicate some activity. Using my mouse to rotate my view changes how the sounds come in to my headphones, and allows for some amount of directional awareness.
This is geared towards using shotguns to surprise people, by jumping out and blasting them before they have much time to react. Unfortunately, I'm not perfect at this, and swing out early about 1/3rd to 3/8ths of the time.
