So here's the thing: I feel like everyone says that (you can't hear or be affected by binaural unless you wear hearphones) but you can still hear the waves, knowmsayin'?
Can't really explain it beyond that but I have an app that does them and I can often hear the same in music, without needing headphones or whatever. I'm pretty sure I'm not Just hearing aural illusions
The point is that your brain does create an illusion. You play two different frequencies, one in each ear and your brain creates the third based on the difference. This doesn't work without headphones.
You can still feel it tho, maybe its in a different way, there's like a vestibular effect to it
you can make any sound sound wobbly by adjusting the volume rapidly in a DAW. Binaural beats aren't wobbly, but you hear them that way anyway.... if you use headphones. They are not the same thing.
No comment on headphones vs. not; I’d never even heard of it until this post, but I found some free audio for people in the same curious boat: Binaural Beats
