I think it's both being super quiet, but also letting you hear into the acoustics of the recording. Audibly, it feels as if the wall behind the speakers disappears and you are in a different physical space.
Kind of related, tape yourself talking in a room, then listen to the recording. Your ear/brain mechanism filters out echoes all the time, to the point you barely perceive them unless they are severe or you are a trained listener.
