There are some reasons that make binaural beats are lagging behind other forms of brainwave entrainment like monaural beats and isochronic tones.
1. Binaural beats require headphones. Monaural Beats and Isochronic tones can be used very effectively without headphones although for best results it is recommended that you still use them.
2. Binaural beats cannot entrain the Hemispheres individually. They cannot do this because they require both ears. With separate stimulation in each ear it is much easier to achieve deeper meditation and is particularly useful for ADD reduction and depression.
3. Your brain can only process the intensity of binaural beats at around 3db, or 1/10th the volume of a whisper. Monaural beats and isochronic tones can be perceived at a much greater depth and intensity and therefore have far greater potential.
This is a very short video showing the difference between binaural beats, monaural beats and isochronic tones.
