I think if you pitched this as "binaural beats that always work regarding of network conditions" that would be better-received. I don't think there's much of a scenario where streaming services aren't able to consistently deliver high enough quality for 3D positional audio. If there were, ASMR artists would be pushing much harder for alternate platforms.

You make a great point. 'Determinism > Bandwidth' is definitely the stronger argument.

The main difference with ASMR is that it uses multiple spatial cues (reverb, tone) which survive compression well.

Entrainment is more fragile. For a cognitive tool, I wanted to engineer that risk out of the system entirely.
