How to do a binaural recording? Well, there are several techniques, but this is probably the cheapest way to get into it. It's not an original idea, but not too common either. Professionals use expensive binaural dummy heads, e.g., Neumann KU100 that costs something like 7500 € in Europe (I'm pretty sure you could buy a real head with less money), so you might think you have to sell your house to do this, but the truth is, if you are ready to compromise a little bit, you can do it for less than 5 €. You just have to use your head. Literally.

You need two small microphone capsules in your ears. I don't know which ones are good but what I used were Panasonic WM-034CY's (I paid 1,31 € / piece). Electret capsules normally contain integrated preamps which need to be powered. Check out this link:

I used the simplest "hack" with phantom power and only one resistor but I recommend doing it properly. I had problems with the signal being very weak and it would probably sound better with a better quality circuit anyway.

Putting electronics inside your head is always a good idea, but please, make sure your setup is safe before using it. If you have faulty gear or something... Well, I'd hate to lose viewers.
