What is a Binaural recording?

Binaural recording is a method of recording sound that uses two microphones, arranged with the intent to create a 3-D stereo sound sensation for the listener.

This effect is often created using a technique known as "dummy head recording", wherein a mannequin head is outfitted with a microphone in each ear. A binaural recording is intended for replay using Headphones and will not translate properly over stereo speakers.
