Binaural recording is a method of recording that assumes the playback will be heard through headphones. By placing the recording mics very close to the human ear, this method allows the acoustic experience at the time of recording to be reproduced with a high degree of realism when heard through headphones or earphones. If you use headphones or earphones to listen to the playback of sound recorded using binaural recording, you???ll enjoy a very realistic 3D auditory experience that cannot be experienced with stereo recording.
