Mindwave 2 tones have been meticulously designed to produce the greatest neural response during EEG tests.

Binaural beats are great and they work for most people but we found that other methods tend to be more effective and more flexible, such as Isochronic tones.

Technical Description of isochronic beats:
Isochronic tones are regular beats of a single tone used for brainwave entrainment. The interference pattern that produces the beat is outside the brain so headphones are not required (use with a dock), but since isochronic tones are more pronounced, the stimuli is even stronger with the use of headphones/ear buds.

### 3/5 — 待ってます🥲

*2026-03-23*

他のレビューにもありますが、かつては本当に良アプリでした

独特な振動音だけではなくて、波や雷のような自然音や僅かなインストゥルメンタルミュージックと組み合わせて再生できて、再生時間も指定できたので20分くらいで止まるようにして10分くらいで寝落ちという使い方ができていました

しかしそれも過去の話

本バージョンではパルスだけがひたすらループするだけのシンプルな構成です
バックグラウンドで再生させながらiTunesやYouTubeの音楽などと重ねる事は可能なので、そういう使い方に主眼を置いたようですが、正直使いにくい…

更新履歴にすぐにバージョンアップするよ！と書いてあるけど6年経過🥲
もうやる気を無くされてしまったんですかね…残念ですけど、更新待ってます🙏

### 1/5 — アップデートしなきゃよかった

*2023-12-18*

以前の仕様が最高すぎただけに残念…。今でも良質っちゃ良質なんですが、本当に以前の仕様が良すぎたからなあ…。アップデートした後は本当にショックでした。最高のアプリでした。

### 1/5 — mind wave2 유료앱

*2023-05-08*

1951년에 슈먼이 지구 공명 주파수 7.83 발견 2022년 지구 공명 주파수는 40hz 이다 Mind Wave2 는 슈먼 공명 세션 주파수는 ?
지구 진동수 변화에 업그레이드가 필요 합니다

### 2/5 — Dont good delta state

*2023-03-28*

Programm for only one state but not well. Please moneyback mr. Aapl . Ough...

### 5/5 — Great app, I’ve been using it for years

*2022-12-07, version 3.1*

Probably the best one out there. Been a fan for 10 years now. Please add more

### 2/5 — かつては良いアプリだった

*2022-03-27*

以前（iOS6の頃）はトーンと一緒に簡単なサウンドエフェクトを再生できたのですが、なぜ無くしてしまったのですかねぇ… あと画面のパーツが全体的に右に寄ってるのは、Store上のスクリーンショットもそうなので意図的なんでしょうか。たまにトーンの説明文がはみ出ていますが… 

 2年ほどアプリも更新されていないことからして、もう更新する気はないんでしょうか… いいアプリだっただけに残念です。
結局今では代わりのアプリとしてBetterSleepを使っています。

### 5/5 — Isochronic Is Better Than Binaural In Many Situations

*2021-08-19, version 3.1*

This is great for me. I would recommend it to anyone. 

Sometimes, usually when you first start using these sounds, you need to run a sound for about a minute or so to see if that’s the sound you need at the time. (Eventually you know what you want.) 

Yes in the beginning they can start off making you a little uncomfortable for the first 30/40 seconds… after a minute or two you pretty much know. 

I use:

Stress Relief 

Energy and Motivation 

Pre-exercise Session (great for the unmotivated but necessary dog walk)

Anxiety Reduction 

Hypertension Reduction 

I use the Stress Relief a lot. 

Here’s the best thing I have recently found… playing sound in the background, literally in my pocket, on my lap, hand or open purse, while in conversations with naturally difficult people. Like doctors and their staff—makes easier conversations. Stress relief is great for that! 

(No body notices the sound.) 

Negative tech support? Put your phone on speaker and play it another device in the background. 

Sure! Why not make the conversation less difficult?

Do you have a friend who’s anxiety makes for friction filled conversations? You know, the one who’s triggered by the wrong tone in your voice but they still need your opinion or advice? Anxiety Reduction makes it easier for them too. 

Deceitful?…. naaaaah! 

It’s a kindness to both of ya. 

Question: if you’re like me, (everyone is afraid to talk to you in the morning but for some reason they just won’t shut up) wouldn’t it be nice if you were a little easier to get along with? (Because we know they’re just going to keep talking!)

In this situation, Stress Relief helps me… a lot. Using it right now! 

This app costs less than a drink. Why not give it a try? 

Best way is to turn a sound on, put it in the background and check back with your mood in a few minutes. It’s okay… play with it! 

Yes an update might be nice. It would be nice to have a sleep timer. You can set your phone’s timer to, “Stop Playing” if you only want a sound to affect you for only a few hours when you go to bed. 

Note: if you play, Hypertension Reduction all night, you can wake up with no brain power. 

I wish the developer would do a relaunch of this app. If more people knew about it, especially now that we’re post-2020, the world might be a little less jerkish.

### 1/5 — Useless App Now

*2021-05-27, version 3.1*

This app will no longer play through Bluetooth or Apple devices. Not loud enough through the phone alone. I used to use this app nightly. I can’t recommend this app any more.

### 5/5 — The best

*2021-02-10, version 3.1*

I love this app. I’ve had it nearly a decade now and it’s really helped me.  Thank you Jakob.  Your app helped me unlock the miracle of my mind.

### 5/5 — Simple and effective

*2020-10-19, version 3.1*

I started with the original mindwave which I liked a lot. This is paired down but having tried 3 or 4 other binaural bests apps this one is the most effective for me. Particularly like the Schumann resonance and the insomnia.
