If you want to record the same stereo sound as the ASMR live streamers, but lack the recording equipment because the dummy head mics are so expensive, you can make one of your own.

Here are the materials that I used (not more than $200 in total):
Mannequin Head with Shoulder * 1 ($60): Amazon.com : Nanddi Esthetics Mannequin Head with Shoulders, Large Multi Function PVC Manikin Head Soft Cosmetology Simulation Training Mannequin Head Model for Facials Massage Makeup Practice Wigs Hat Display : Beauty & Personal Care
Microphone in the shape of a silicone ear * 2 (one for the left channel and one for the right channel) ($27): ASMR助眠解压沉浸式直播录音3D话筒左右双声道立体声耳朵麦克风-淘宝网 (taobao.com)
Noise reduction sponge * 1 ($7): Amazon.com: AKSONMN 10 Pack Foam Windscreen Mini-size, Lapel Headset Microphone Cover, Black - Noise Reduction and Protection : Musical Instruments
Electric home drill * 1 ($30): Amazon.com: PULITUO Cordless Drill Set, 20V Electric Power Drill with Battery And Charger, 30N.m and 21+1 Torque, 2 Variable Speeds, with 59pcs Drill Driver Bits Kit, Screws Set,(Red) : Tools & Home Improvement
Please note that: the second microphone in the list was purchased on Taobao in China. If you can't shop on Taobao, purchase your own pair of simulated silicone ears and a dual-channel microphone, and then just place the microphone in the ear canal position of the simulated ears.
Here's how I made it:
Step 1: cut off the original ears of the mannequin with a cutter knife.

Step 2: use the drill to open up the pathway between the ears.

Step 3: place the microphone with silicone ears into the holes.

Done! ;-D
