So I won a pair of Sennheiser 800 S headphones and an OPPO HA-2 portable amp/DAC in a giveaway, and I've always just said it was all placebo ricer shit.
/g/ ... I'm sorry. I'm so sorry I doubted you. I had a recent hearing test where I tested as having "Sweep" hearing (every sound frequency in the human aural range, even some I should've lost the ability to hear 5 years ago) so it wasn't that my hearing wasn't very good, I think I just didn't have a decent enough setup. Maybe I needed an amp or DAC before, or maybe I just picked the wrong headphones, but after I hooked everything up it was like hearing with a new pair of ears. I heard things in songs I've listened to hundreds of times the I've never heard before, but what really blew me away was Heather Feather on YouTube. She does these binaural recordings that are crazy with a decent setup.
https://youtu.be/Jp0g-qkvdFQ is a good example. Not shilling my exact setup, use whatever you like, but this video is a special treat. She's a little cringey, but when she "blows in your ear" it creates a bass effect that actually felt like she was really here blowing into my ears gently. I guess it's the vibration creating a gentle airflow or just the sound waves themselves.. Fuck I dunno, but it's insane.
Anyway, does anyone else know of any good binaural shit? Not that stupid torture roleplay or dumb fucking barber shop... Something more interesting

Fuck!
Literally opened my eyes for the first time at 11:17 to check how long was left.

Jesus Heather..

That's usually called expectation bias.
In any case, there's no shortage of bull and nonsense lying around in consumer audio circles.

Now you're doing that "placebo" thing yourself, and this is how people justify their garden hose cables to themselves.
You just needed to listen.

Binaural is pretty much headphone only. Crosstalk cancellation to use binaural audio with loudspeakers is still not off the ground.

Nice, whoever set up the giveaway knew their shit since the HA-2 and HD800S are a good combo. I'm using almost the same except SD-modded HD800 and can attest to the binaural effect that actually feels like wind is blowing in your ear.
The only worthwhile binaural music I've found so far is by Yosi Horikawa: https://m.soundcloud.com/yosi-horikawa/bubbles

I fell for the headphone meme and went for an 558 pair. Literally no difference.
My music source is YouTube, music strictly pre-war

Set up OpenAL soft with HRTF in Windows, put the DLLs in your system folders so it's system wide
Get creative alchemy and install it on any old game that uses EAX.
Delete OpenAL32.dll from the directory of any game that uses it, so thatbhe game instead uses your systems libraries
You now fucking great headphone audio in any game that uses it

This is my reference longplay ASMR, it's got so much things in it that it can cover a lot of needs, including the natural immunity you develop after listening to the same videos over and over again, minus the mouth sounds if you're into them.
Just make an audio rip of it and slap in your mobile.
