Seeing as I don't have a stereo microphone, I decided to give my headphones a try.
My first experiment I didn't save, but it had a portion where an ambulance drove by, and every time I'd listen to it, there would be a moment where I'd think it was real--even though the quality overall isn't that great.
Here's a slightly more structured test I did (no awesome life-like sirens, just me talking and trying to see how well the spacial aspect works). I decided to post it because I find the tradeoff between overall sound quality and spacial realism interesting. I haven't tried running noise reduction yet.

Obviously a device designed to record spacial sound would be ideal, but I don't have one. I haven't looked into getting any such device, but I'm starting to think I should, given the projects that I'm working on and such. (But the prices...!)
