I'm listening on AKG K141 studio headphones + Bose QuietComfort 35's.

The Roland binaural earbuds are a simple, budget way to get into "binaural" sound though they leave MUCH to be desired in terms of effect and sound quality. I didn't say to anyone that there is NO binaural effect, but it is comparatively minimal compared to authentic capture devices witch replicate human ears with ear canals and mics placed where our eardrums would be. Authentic binaural sound needs the reflections provided by the shape of the ear, the shape of the ear canal and the density of the material between the left and right "ears".

Hear the astounding difference between a 3dio device (still not ideal) and the Roland solution:

Not really a fair comparison. In the first case, the mic is stationary and the person is walking around it. In the second case, the mic is traveling with the person.
