My only such experience was at the 1965 World's Fair, where Bell Telephone had an anechoic tunnel you could walk into. It probably wasn't very good but it was good enough. Quite a few years later and I still remember that it was indeed a strange experience.

By the way, this is a problem I have sometimes with phone conversations over headphones. If my own voice is significantly muffled, it can be really hard to keep talking. At which times I miss the old desktop handset days, when the earpiece would have your own voice in it, too.
