Isochronic tones are a form of brainwave entrainment that uses repetitive beats or pulses at specific frequencies to synchronize the brain's activity.
Unlike binaural beats, which require headphones to create a perceived third tone, isochronic tones don't rely on stereo audio. Instead, they use a single tone that pulses on and off at precise intervals.
Isochronic tones and binaural beats are popular tools for achieving altered states of consciousness and enhancing mental well-being.
The critical difference lies in their delivery. Isochronic tones use a single tone that pulses on and off at specific intervals, while binaural beats require stereo headphones to create a perceived third tone through the brain's processing of two slightly different frequencies in each ear.
Both methods can be effective for various purposes. However, isochronic tones are often preferred for their simplicity and accessibility, as they don't require headphones and can be used with regular speakers.
Binaural beats, on the other hand, offer a unique stereo experience but require headphones for optimal results. The choice between the two ultimately depends on individual preferences and the desired outcome of the audio-based meditation or relaxation session.

The brain operates at different frequencies, commonly categorized into five main states: Delta (0.5-4 Hz), Theta (4-8 Hz), Alpha (8-13 Hz), Beta (13-30/38 Hz), and Gamma (30+ Hz or 38+ Hz); depending on source. Each of these states corresponds to different mental and emotional states. See table below.
Isochronic tones work by guiding the brain into a desired state through the frequency of the pulsing tone. For instance, isochronic tones in the Theta or Alpha range may be employed if you want to achieve deep relaxation and stress relief during meditation.
These tones encourage your brain to naturally synchronize its activity with the external pulses, helping you reach the desired mental state more easily.
Brain Wave | Frequency | What it's for |
---|---|---|
Delta | 0.5-4 Hz | Sleep. |
Theta | 4-8 Hz | Deep relaxation. Zone between being wake or sleeping. |
Alpha | 8-13 Hz | Relaxation |
Beta | 13 – 30 (38) Hz | Mental, intellectual activity, outwardly focused concentration, alertness.
Note: Some source say that Beta is up to 38 Hz. |
Gamma | 30 (39) – 42 Hz | Focus, perception and consciousness.
Note: Some source stated that Gamma starts at 39, others at 30. |
