To me using two different headphones, open-back electrostatics and Etymotic 
in-ear buds, both gave a through the head 1 dimensional sound stage. This in 
spite of the narrative that was clearly intended to steer one into believing 
the sound stage was 3 dimensional. So, din't work for me. Thought the whisper 
in the ear at the end kind of worked. The bag over the head effect near the 
beginning sounded more like having my head under running water.
