Same for me. I spend quite a bit time listening to two different sets of Shure IEMs while mowing the yard, running or traveling. I enjoy the music, but I find that the perspective is never really right using standard recordings. Binaural ones (of which I have none) may be a different story.
1. Closely miked mult-track recordings give me the perspective of getting in a singer's face or putting my head inside a snare drum. Waaay too up close and personal!
2. Distant and minimally miked recordings sound peculiar because the recorded space of the venue is there but delivered in a miniaturized, unnatural way.
I'll take a nicely treated room with speakers capable of delivering depth any day. And not necessarily in a laser focused "pinpoint" fashion as you find with some speakers, but one that can convey a true sense of space.
