Oh man, that is completely wild. I used my HD600 and it was pretty trippy. Made me cringe throughout the entire thing.

I love getting people to listen to that, the reactions are almost always priceless.

Wow... must have taken someone quite some time to make this.

 

[Nuwidol]

I love these.

I'd not heard the matches one. Thanks!

Too bad it isn't Miles Davis in concert instead of a haircut. Clearly headphones are not the stumbling block to a realistic sound stage. It's the recording. If all live albums were binaural, all audiophiles would have headphone rigs.

Funny you should say that. Sitting here listening to Miles "Seven Steps to Heaven"

On topic. I've head most of these Binaural recordings and always wondered why more music isnt recorded in that format.

There are plenty of threads about that but from what I remember it doesn't always transfer to speakers in a very pleasing way. Also, why bother (iBud generation etc)?

If you enjoy that sort of thing have a listen to Pink Floyd's "The Final Cut" CD, for example.

Or this... incredible.

Binaural and binaural techniques are the future for surround headphones. But binaural music doesn't sound natural on speakers. hard to explain the sound, but I'd say nasal. That's probably the reason why there's so little binaurally recorded music available.

I think the virtual haircut is a great binaural recording.

Love it!
