Using in ear phones is terribly inaccurate as the fit and acoustic coupling
can change with facial movements and is pretty uncomfortable as well.
The effect of the ear on over the ear phones can very much depend on the
characteristics of the cavity produced.

The big snag with binaural is that in a real sound field, your brain
commands small head movements and thus can hear the differences as the
position changes, with phones the brain cannot move the listening position
unless you have some very odd phones.

It does, however, give the most convincing stereo for headphone listening.
Can be very impressive. Unlike listening to conventional stereo on
headphones.
