Comment on Stereo Separation, Subwoofers, and Headphones (2008)parent

Comments

Such a thing already exists and is commercially available from several manufacturers. Dummy heads are used primarily in acoustic test facilities, but have seen some use for specialised binaural recordings.

The problem with binaural recording is that the resulting stereo field sounds highly unnatural when replayed on loudspeakers. The overwhelming majority of modern recordings and mixes are a compromise between stereo and binaural playback.
