Jana Dagdagan, formerly with Stereophile, and a very talented filmmaker, has some interesting video's where she compares different systems, with 4 standard references, recorded with binaural headphones.

She has done Devore Reference, Avantgarde Duo Primo, Kii 3, Harbeth and a gigantic, "one million $$ system" from Aries Cerat.
I seems like a good idea with the goal of taking away some of the variables in comparing speakers/systems by remote video. The rooms are all different of course, which I think largely undermines the effort.
I was struck by how good the Kii 3 sounds. And the Avantgarde sounded really nice. The million $$ system.... I don't know exactly what the problem was. On one of the tracks, it sounds as if Jana's binaural dummy head ("Alfredo") had been submersed in the room's large fish tank. On others, the room sounds cold and cavernous. It must have some technical glitch.
Entertaining videos, anyway.
