Then you shouldn't be interested in any headphones at all, since they
distort the sound field so that it appears between your ears with a
mono source being in the middle of your head between your ears.
There is nothing "realistic" about that and no headphone to date has
solved the problem.
Now I use and enjoy various headphones and the musical experience can
be excellent, but never ever do they approach realism, even on a
binaural recording. There are just too many confounding variables
that no headphone can ever be expected to reproduce.
Occasionally I have heard sonic images well off to the left and right
of my head, but never any imaging out front or out back.
