This web page contains examples of recordings that enables one to enjoy the spatial, realistic and pure contents of audio when listening to it.
The recordings are made acoustically in a way (3D / binaural set-up) that captures this original purity and reproduces it the same way to enable the listener to experience that same purity and acoustical reality. 'What you hear, is what you get.'
Binaural recording are made by configuring / positioning the microphones as if it were human ears. (same distance, separated (by a head or obstruction), left and right oriented, etc.)
The 3D effects are best reproduced using headphones or in-ear headsets of good quality; make sure not to swap left-hand and right-hand phones. Listening on speakers also is possible of course, but then the binaural / 3D effect is less obvious.
