Binaural beats side effects: are they safe, and who should be careful? For most people binaural beats are safe.

Isochronic tones vs binaural beats: the differences, and which one to use Binaural beats play a different tone in each ear (200 and 206 Hz make a 6 Hz beat) and need headphones. Isochronic tones pulse one tone and work on speakers. What are binaural beats and how do they work?
