In the audio signal reproducing apparatus, information on the transfer characteristics representative of the transfer characteristics from virtual sound sources to both ears of a listener in at least a first quadrant of the rotational angular position of the head M of the listener is stored in storing means 22. The transfer characteristics in rotational angular position of the head M represented by detection outputs from detecting means 5L, 5R and 13 for detecting the rotational angle position depending upon the movement of the head of the listener are formed based upon the transfer characteristics information of at least the first quadrant stored in the storing means and left and right channel audio signals are processed by audio signal processing means 23 for achieving a proper binaural reproduction relative to the virtual sound sources. Also in the audio signal processing apparatus of the present invention, information on the transfer characteristics from virtual sound sources to both ears of a listener for each given rotational angle depending upon the movement of the head M of the listener is stored in storing means 62. The rotational angular position of the head of the listener is detected by detecting means 45L, 45R and 53 at a solution higher than that of the information of the transfer characteristics stored in said storing means. The information on at least two transfer characteristics in the vicinity of the rotational angular position represented by the detection outputs from detecting means is read from the storing means. The information on the transfer characteristics in the rotational angular position of the head represented by the detection output is interpolation operated by interpolation operating means 61. Based upon the information on the transfer characteristics determined by the interpolation operation means, left and right channel audio signals are processed by audio signal processing means 63 for achieving a proper binaural reproduction relative to the virtual sound sources.
