I'm curious how a device with only two speakers can provide 7.1
surround sound.
They can't. Though there are some headsets with more than two speakers
in them, most (allegedly) surround sound headset do audio tricks by
mixing the different channels in opposite speakers, adding delays, and
equalisation.
