Setup Tips For Best Results
Use Stereo Audio
Always ensure your device is set to stereo output, not mono. Check your device settings before starting.
Proper Fit
Ensure headphones fit snugly but comfortably. Proper fit ensures optimal sound delivery to both ears.
Clean Headphones
Keep your headphones clean and free from debris. Dust or wax buildup can affect sound quality.
Check Volume Levels
Start at a moderate volume. The neuroacoustic signals work at normal listening levels - you don't need it loud.
Quiet Environment
Use Rewired in a quiet space. Background noise can interfere with the neuroacoustic signals.
Stable Connection
If using wireless headphones, ensure a stable Bluetooth connection. Dropouts can interrupt the session.
Audio Quality Requirements
| Feature | Requirement | Importance | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Frequency Response | 20Hz - 20kHz | Critical | Covers full range of neuroacoustic signals |
| Stereo Separation | True stereo | Critical | Binaural beats require distinct left/right channels |
| Impedance | 16-32 ohms | Important | Ensures compatibility with most devices |
| Noise Isolation | Passive or active | Recommended | Reduces external interference |
Troubleshooting
Sound only in one ear
Check stereo settings on your device. Ensure both headphone drivers are working. Try different headphones.
Muffled or unclear audio
Clean your headphones. Check volume levels. Ensure proper fit. Try different audio sources.
Weak bass response
Adjust headphone fit for better seal. Check device audio settings. Some headphones naturally have less bass.
Bluetooth disconnections
Move closer to your device. Reduce interference from other devices. Try wired headphones if available.
Sessions feel ineffective
Verify stereo audio is enabled. Use a quiet environment. Ensure headphones fit properly. Try different headphones.
