Intrigued by the possibility of Binaural reception,

There was a guy with a last name of Hildreth who wrote a number of
articles on this sort of thing in Ham Radio magazine in the seventies.
Used active filters, but he also did some other things.

Receivers with phasing adapters could be modified so you could listen
to one sideband in one ear, and the other sideband in the other ear,
that apparently gave some interesting effects.

They guy who's written a lot in recent times in QST about the phasing
method, a string of projects, one was in effect a phasing receiver
except no audio phasing network. So he had two mixers, fed from an
oscillator with quadrature output, and then each of the mixers fed one
of side of stereo headphones. That apparently gave some nice depth
effect.

Also discussed in Pat Hawkers Technical Topics column, long ago, whe I

Around 1979 IIRC. There was a simple circuit using passive components in
a highpass/lowpass config to drive a pair of headphones. It worked well
for me with CW.
