What is the difference between binaural beats, monaural beats and isochronic tones?

2 Comments

You may just be wondering what is the difference between binaural beats, monaural beats and isochronic tones. Which one should you choose? Is any one of them better than the other?

Firstly, binaural beats, monaural beats and isochronic tones are each a form of (auditory) brainwave entrainment. They each have the possibility and potential to affect your brain and brainwaves in a positive manner to create results such as increasing creativity and concentration, creating states of deep relaxation and removing stress and even aiding in weight-loss and gaining confidence.

 


Binaural Beats (above) are the cheapest to purchase. They are effective but are said to be the slowest form of brainwave entrainment available.

Monaural Beats (above) are similar to binaural beats but get the desired result faster. However, some people prefer the sound of binaural beats over the sound of monaural beats.

Isochronic Tones (above) are the most powerful form of brainwave entrainment but also the most expensive to purchase. They get the desired results very quickly and are very effective.

    I think there are a few things getting mixed up here… afaik its something like this:

    We all know Binaural beats, two different frequencies for a “fake” frequency inside the brain. If you look at the commercial stuff, they are usually binaural beats – since they arent as “harsh” and can easily be embedded nearly silently in any recording.
    Isochromatic sounds are stronger in effect, but rather “harsh”, since the frequency is applied through amplitude (therefor, no headphones required, although they amplify the effect). Like digital signals, 1 or 0.
    Monaural Beats are similiar to Isochromatic tones, also use amplitude, but in a softer way. Imagine the frequency a sinus-curve (or an analog signal) – it sounds a lot more natural and nicer to the ear.

    From my own experiences, Ischromatic Tones really got the strongest effects, but Monaurals are somewhat equal with Binaural beats, so they only share the advantage of being headphones-free and sounding nicer than isochromatics.
    Binaural beats are very good for relaxing tones – for example I cant sleep to isochromatic tones, they start to annoy me if I want to sleep. binaurals are rather subliminal and can use a soothing background track – they work for me.
