How Binaural Beats work

Two nearby tones—one per ear—create a slow pulse equal to their difference. Use that pulse to support focus, calm, or sleep.

Binaural Beats: Best Practices

Basic tips to make your session more enjoyable.

  • Use headphones

    Wear stereo headphones. A good seal and channel separation are necessary for accurate binaural perception.

  • Keep a relaxed listening volume

    Listen as quiet as possible to reduce fatigue and protect hearing. Louder does not mean more effective. As long as you hear a clear beat you are good to go.

  • Short effective sessions

    Listen for 20–30 minutes per session. For longer routines, add short breaks (2–5 minutes) to maintain attention and comfort.

Binaural Beats: FAQ

Safety, headphones, sessions, and how our generator works.

They play slightly different tones to each ear, creating a tiny “phantom” beat your brain often follows—so brainwaves drift toward that beat’s speed. Works best with stereo headphones; effects are subtle and vary by person.


Yes—up to 60 minutes per session is generally considered safe.


Delta frequencies (0-3hz) help increase deep sleep quality.


They ensure distinct tones reach each ear for the binaural effect.


Lossless audio quality, no login, entirely in-browser.


Yes, see our downloads page for free beats.


Alpha (8–12 Hz) for relaxed focus, beta (14–18 Hz) for concentration, theta (4–7 Hz) for meditation, delta (0.5–3 Hz) for deep sleep.


Yes, Binauro works in modern mobile browsers. For best results use wired or high-quality Bluetooth headphones to preserve stereo separation.


Research suggests certain beta and alpha frequencies may support concentration, working memory, and cognitive performance during study. More in our evidence section.
