Default Meditation queries

Hi there, i just have some questions that have been playing on my mind and it would be great if someone could help me out and answer them.
To begin with does it make a difference what earphones you use? I only have some cheap ones but their nose isolating, and the frequency response is 20HZ-20KHZ. Is that good enough to feel the full effect of the entrainment?
Also can the entrainment be more beneficial at different parts of the day? I seem to enjoy it more if i meditate before bed, but i dont know if its better in the morning, readying you for the day? If i can ill try and do it twice a day but thats not often. I just wanna get the best i can out of the sessions. Thank you.

Hi there Sky Seeker,

I think your headphones are fine. Twenty Hz is the limit at which the human ear can resolve a "pitch" from a sound. It is not the limit at which the vibrations from sound can be perceived. Below 20Hz they are simply perceived as beats, not as a musical pitch. But you do hear them, and your brain does entrain to them.

I think whatever time you meditate is just a personal preference. The most important thing is to be consistant. I wish you an abundance of peace and joy on your continuing journey of self discovery

When you say "I only have some cheap ones but their nose isolating" do you mean they cancel out noise?

If so, they could be causing the entrainment beats to be cancelled out or lessened and rendering the tracks less effective. Ideally the headphones and the stereo/computer playing the tracks, should not alter the sound being produced from how it was originally recorded.

Hugs

Giles
