Binaural beats are a very popular form of brainwave entrainment. If you have done much research on the subject you probably have realized that there are a lot of options available for binaural audios. It may be hard to identify which binaural recordings are reliable, which ones are worth the cost as well as which ones will give you the effects you are looking for.

There are certain factors to consider and variables to be aware of before you purchase your binaural beats. Below are the pros and cons of listening to brainwave entrainment software.

Important Factors to be Aware of…

There are certain things that you need to be aware of when you are looking at the different binaural beat companies.

• For one thing the quality of the product can vary greatly. Not all MP3's or CD's are created equal and unfortunately many entrainment companies are only using stock recordings. In these cases the quality of the audio will be compromised… especially when in MP3 format. So when you are searching make sure you seek out original and unique binaural beats where the MP3's were created with as little compression as possible.

• The next thing to be aware of is what kind of technology is being used. Although binaural beats tend to be the most well known and popular kind of brainwave entrainment, there are actually other more effective types to consider using. Monaural beats and isochronic tones have proven to provide good results much quicker than using binaural beats. You will notice that many companies offer these and some will even offer recordings that combine all three types of brainwave entrainment.

• With regards to price you may have noticed that the cost can vary greatly with the different products. Keep in mind that a higher price does not necessarily guarantee an excellent product. Although some of the highest priced recordings will be excellent it is very possible to get a high quality audio for a very reasonable price.
