A year ago, I bought a Sennheiser Ambeo binaural recording headset for use with my iPhone. And then coronavirus happened, so I've not really had a chance to explore its potential. This is my first serious recording with it. Tell me what you think?

PLEASE LISTEN ON HEADPHONES OR EARBUDS or this won't make any sense at all.

Binaural recording (mics where your ears are, basically) gives a 360-degree effect when listened to on headphones. I hope this will demonstrate the depth effects available with binaural mics.

This recording starts in the kitchen at work. You hear me leave the building and walk down Mount Pleasant Road, Shrewsbury, with traffic passing on my left. At about the 5'50" point I'm walking down the wooded lane pictured in the image (forgive the stentorian breathing). Birdsong and a light plane overhead start at about 9'14". At 11'40" I approach Ellesmere Road, and you hear traffic passing L-R, then as I turn to continue walking, the traffic is on my right.
