What are binaural beats?
Binaural beats are a type of audio technology that uses two slightly different tones played separately in each ear. When listening through headphones, your brain perceives a third rhythmic tone created by the difference between the two frequencies. This perceived rhythm is known as a binaural beat.
Why are binaural beats used?
Some people use binaural beats to support relaxation, focus and concentration, meditation, mindfulness, and sleep preparation. Many listeners find them calming and immersive, although individual experiences can vary.
How does Subrise use binaural beats?
Some Subrise sessions and soundscapes may include binaural beats as an optional audio layer. They are designed to complement the listening experience and can be combined with guided sessions, ambient audio, or relaxation-focused content.
Do binaural beats work for everyone?
Not necessarily. Some people enjoy them and find them helpful, while others notice little difference or simply prefer other types of soundscapes. There is no requirement to use binaural beats to benefit from Subrise.
Are binaural beats scientifically proven?
Research on binaural beats is ongoing. Some studies suggest they may support relaxation, attention, or certain mental states for some individuals, while results are mixed and can vary from person to person. Subrise includes binaural beats as an optional listening preference rather than a guaranteed outcome.
Do I need headphones?
Stereo headphones or stereo earbuds are strongly recommended. They deliver a separate audio channel to each ear so you can experience binaural beats as intended. You can also listen through speakers, but the same binaural effect is not guaranteed. See the related article below for more detail.
