what is it? what do you think about it? have you tried it? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binaural_beats Thats a pretty decent summary... I think it is a valid technology. I have used it in attempts at OBEs, I wasn't able to have an OBE while using the beats though. Each try was definitely a good meditation session though... I think you should try it.

I've used them (iDoser) but they've never done anything to me except to screw with my hearing. Basically, after listening for a while, you hear a weird funneling effect for a few minutes. It also lets me 'hear' whatever I'm thinking as if it was an actual sound. Kind of cool, but not worth it.

Like Venomblood said, basically. I think it's all placebo effect, but it DOES have an effect on the brain. I've tried iDoser with decent headphones(Sennheiser HD201's). It made me feel weird, as in lightheaded, dizzy, hearing and speech impairment. I didn't trip balls or anything, though.

I've used them before. I have a collection on my iPod. They guve me this weird feeling, like if I was falling, over and over again, and fast. Eventually, everything starts to sound wavy...It's hard to explain. I could upload the collection to my site if you want.

I might actually buy them to see how they sound. I lol'd at the "orgasm" idoser.

That iDoeser thing is BS, but that does not mean all binuaral technology is like that, iDoser is just a gimmick... Real binuaral beat technology has been tested and it does have on brain wave frequencies...

Or you can put some mp3s on your iPod for free? It works on me.

Plg is right, iDoser is shit.

[Jhony]

Anyone wants to give some sites of good binuaral beats to use orther than idoser?

I think it is a valid technology. I have used it in attempts at OBEs, I wasn't able to have an OBE while using the beats though. Each try was definitely a good meditation session though... I think you should try it. I had an OBE after listening to Kelly Howell's Sound Sleep twice in a row. I must had been waiting at least 1 hour though --more I'm sure. I was sitting up first, so that I wouldn't fall asleep, and after some time my back hurt a lot so I decided to lay down.. Just a min or so after laying down, I found myself in my body but not connected to it... It was just a shell. Then the OBE began I haven't done it again since (mostly because I don't want to wait an hour+).
