A good binaural recording on spotify would be amber rubarth: sessions from the 17th ward.  just skip to the 3rd track to give you an idea.  Listen to a normal song first though and get in the zone and have your volume at a decent level.  These recordings play very well at higher volumes.

An amazingly recorded binaural album worth checking out would be Ottmar Liebert - Up Close. It's playable on Spotify I believe. The HE-400's holographic soundstage does the album wonders. My jaw was literally on the floor the first time I played through it.

The albums I have are on my laptop and I honestly don't know the info on some. But, this link here, and the thread it is associated with here on head-fi are what got me interested.

Speaking of albums that make the HE-400 shine, I recommend Neil Young's "Live at Massey Hall" from 1971 to any of you who don't own it already. Feels like I'm there when I listen with the HE-400. This recording really shows how dynamic and engaging the HE-400 can be.
 
I'll put a link to the Amazon listing below, but it's readily available over torrents and whatnot.

I only have my MDR-7550 with me at the moment (excellent soundstage for an IEM), hooked up to my SG3 and Fiio E18 but WOW is correct. Amazing! Before today, I didn't know binaural recordings even existed.

 Looks great with the Beyer headband.
 
I have a HE-400 too, and I have a really small head, ¿does the beyer headband fit properly?
 
Thanks for the idea, these is what i'm looking for.
 
Regards from Spain!

I have a small-medium head and the pads used to touch the top of my ears at times and be a little annoying. I feel the Beyer headband added enough material to eliminate this completely. Perfect ear height for me now.
