Peter,

The theory says that the "dummy head" method needs a dummy head the same
dimensions and reflective property as a real head. The mics then pick up
exactly (ish) what your ears would and this goes into each headphone
earpiece.

I've always had longish hair as I prefer that sound to my ears. As a child =
I
hated the sound of a short back and sides haircut. Experimenting with a
dummy head, I got a better sound placement with an absorbent layer on the
back, including a good front to rear discrimination.

A backpack setup would be more Blumlein than dummy head but worth trying if=

you have a non-creaky pack.
