Hello all,
I did a lot of really stunning (classical) concert recordings with

in-ear binaural mics. I.e. you really don't need a dummy head, if you

are able to keep your own heard unmoved. It just requires a bit of

discipline. Small movements don't hurt, they rather drastically

improve the binaural imaging. The effect of different people

having different head shapes (HRTFs) is noticeable, but for the

purpose of just listening to music (and not doing angle measurements)

this doesn't matter much. The effect when listening with good playback

equipement and (open) headphones is really thrilling, quite immersive.

I don't know any recording technique providing better this "live"

or "we are there" feeling combined with the possibility to use

very high quality equipement at a moderate price tag (good

loudspeakers are a great deal more expensive).
The OKMs are nice, but even the "classical" variant is rather

middle class quality level. For really good results you can use

the DPA 4060 mini electret capsules. IIRC, DPA themself provide

some "binaural set" equiped with this mics.

I bought mine from "Core Sound" http://www.core-sound.com/bk/1.php
