Do I need a binaural microphone for ASMR?

Question

Accepted Answer

Binaural gives the most immersive ear-to-ear effect but limits you to a fixed setup. A stereo mic (Yeti X, Zoom H1n) provides good spatial audio with more flexibility. Many top ASMR creators use a single cardioid condenser and pan in post-production.
