Do binaural beats and isochronic tones really work?

Just look at the science behind it.

Binaural beats give you one frequency in one ear and another in the other. The point is to let your brain combine them to create a new frequency.

Like when a blue and a yellow pixel's colors combine in your brain to form the color green.

This is supposed to give your self a base from which to do work. By focusing on the "created" frequency, you can focus on how your brain works, which might lead to an altered state of consciousness.

Tldr yes and no. Google it yourself to find out more.

If a sound relaxes you then why do you have to ask if it works? And if it doesn't why care?

Binaural beats work, unless your headphones are utter shit. I don't know about isochronic tones.

No. Listen instead to polyrhythmic music. A good album is Siouxsie and Budgie (The Creatures) Hai!, or some minimalist music like Steve Reich (Reich has an interesting interview where he talks about how some tape stuff inspired new techniques btw. He once listened to two identical tapes at the same time, but the motor on one tape deck was a little slower. As the tapes became desynchronized he felt a kind of flow from one ear to the other). Tribal drum type music is also good, that's all part of how they entered a trance state among other things. I enjoy Gamelan personally.
