Binaural beats use two slightly different tones
A binaural session plays one tone in the left ear and a slightly different tone in the right ear. With headphones, the brain perceives the difference between them as a beat, which is why binaural sessions are best used as headphone-first rituals.
Isochronic tones use audible pulses
Isochronic tones create rhythm by pulsing the sound itself. Because the pulse is built into the audio, the effect is easier to hear through speakers and can still work well with headphones.
How to choose inside NeuroHz
Use binaural sessions when you can wear headphones and want a more spatial sound bed. Use isochronic-style focus sessions when you need a clearer pulse, a speaker-friendly setup or a direct work-session cue.
