Headphone presentation is required to measure true binaural benefit

Evidence

Field recording is a great way to become more sensitive to sounds. Headphones tend to focus attention on sounds that ordinarily are not in your awareness. When you listen to the environment that you want to record, listen both with and without headphones until you feel that you are capturing the sounds as realistically as possible. — Pauline Oliveros, Deep Listening, 279 (#expands, via linked claim)
