What I've been using for the last 30 years for binaural recordings is small electret capsules in a PIP configuration (first with the Walkman Pro, then on DAT, then on MiniDisc, and now with the DR-70):
I mount the capsules on each branch of my glasses near the ears. You can also fix them to holders fashioned out out of stiff wire that you slip around your ears.
Those are excessively inexpensive and easy to build- just solder the capsules to a recycled headphones cord.
The tricky part is to find capsules that are matched in sound and level that do not distort at high SPL. And thy are incredibly susceptible to wind noise: You can't use those outside unless it's very still or wear a special angora headband.
And if you want to record live shows with those you must remain silent and still, and make sure the people around you aren't too rowdy...
I find the imaging very good: translates well to speaker or headphones listening. but it gives a mostly omnidirectional pickup, so they'll reflect the acoustics they're in.
My experience.

Work and sounds good try these:
This is a good setup.
My $0.02 is that these recorders often have much better performance on their XLR inputs than the 3.5mm PIP jack.? You can build the *SimpleP48* circuit into the male XLR plug to take full advantage of this.
An alternative is a *Binaural* recording setup.? Our own Len Moskowitz sells
which is a very reasonable high quality product.? You clip the mikes to your hat or other suitable headgear.? These are omnis so aren't as susceptible to wind noise.
