Best Headphones for Listening To Brainwave Entrainment
We often get asked which are the best headphones or the best
earphones for listening to our brainwave entrainment sessions. It is important to use best quality
headphones or earphones.
It is no good having the best Mp3 player in the world if your headphones are poor quality.
This goes for listening to any kind of music. For entrainment you need to have high quality stereo headphones
because the sound going to each ear is different.
So get the best headphones you can afford so that you are able to really get the best from your sessions. The
best headphones are not necessarily the most expensive either.
How We Chose The
Best Headphones
The models that we are recommending as the best headphones and earphones are those considered to be the best by
numerous independent reviewers. They also get good user reviews on the Amazon.com pages.
Fortunately I found that all the best headphones I wanted to recommend were
available from Amazon.com and from Amazon.co.uk. I am linking to the Amazon stores because they
really are the most reliable, customer friendly and often, the cheapest source. For example I paid $59 for my
Sennheisser EH 150 headphones online. Amazon is selling the same model for less than $30 dollars
as I write this.
Best Headphones A Top Of The Line Wireless
Model
Sennheiser RS 130 Wireless Surround Sound Headphones
If you want the very best headphones you can't do much better than these
headphones. 
I do not own these though I would love to, they are high up on my wish list. I am
recommending them here because I know that professional sound technicians recommend them.
Sennheiser headphones are perfectly suited for
brainwave entrainment. They are incredibly high performance and durable, focusing on precision, minimal
distortion and the blocking of ambient noise.
These are wireless headphones which means you
need not be tethered to your computer. If you are doing a relaxation or meditation session you can relax
where you are most comfortable and still hear the sound.
They are quite a bit dearer than the wired ones
though, (reviewed next) at around $154 at Amazon.com

Review by a user in December 2008. This user gave them 5 stars 
Have been using a headset for years. We live in a loft. When my wife is watching HGTV, she uses
the Sennheiser RS 130 and mutes the TV speakers. I can then settle with my bookk in the same room
and we're both happy.
...The fidelity is terrific. We get no cutting in and out, no interference. The self tuning
feature is terrific. The surround feature is pretty good for movies and music.
...Way better than the last one I had for which I paid more than $200.00. I like the charging
feature too. Even if I don't turn the headset off, it will charge while on the charging stand.

glowing customer reviews.
Also available at Amazon UK: Sennheiser RS 130 Headphones
Sennheiser EH-150 Evolution Hi-Fi Stereo
Headphones

Not wireless this time but very good indeed. I do
have these and am very happy with them.
These Sennheiser headphones capture sound perfectly. They also sit tightly but comfortably around your
ears keeping out extraneous noise. They are definitely the best headphones I have ever used. I am really happy wit
them.
They come with a long lead so you can walk about or lie on a sofa to listen to
your relaxation or meditation session via your computer.
The price I paid for these was $59.00. I should have bought them
from Amazon.com which has them for sale at half that price, only $29.24. What an amazingly good deal.

Review of Sennheiser EH-150 headphones by a user. This user gave them 5 stars
:
I'll state up front that I am no audiophile, but I love music and I am pretty picky
about how my music sounds.
...and let me tell you, for the price you'd be hard-pressed to do better.
The sound is just awesome, I can't even find the right adjectives to describe it.
Rich, full, textured, deep, etc. etc.
You get the idea. I could pick up tiny details and even flaws in the music.
I also found them to be very comfortable once I got them properly adjusted... The
EH-150s are light and rest on the head without being too tight, which is a huge plus for me.
Overall I would say they are totally worth what you are going to pay for them. To
get much better than this, you'd have to go up considerably in price, and hey, some of us have
other things to spend money on besides a $500 pair of headphones - like actual music to listen to.
:) Get these cans!
