The Genius Song vs Free Tracks, Apps, Games and Habits

The five options at a glance

Option	What you get	Cost	Daily effort	Evidence we can point to	Main drawback
The Genius Song	One audio track, about 7 minutes per the seller	$39 once	Listen with headphones, eyes closed	No published study of the track	Content not described; Terms say entertainment only
Free binaural or gamma tracks	Recordings found on video and music platforms	Usually free	Listen with headphones	Split: a medium effect on some outcomes in a 2019 meta-analysis, mostly negative entrainment results in a 2023 review	Quality and content differ from one track to the next
Meditation apps	Guided sessions of different lengths	Free and paid versions exist	Follow spoken guidance	Not reviewed on this page	Needs regular practice
Brain-training games	Puzzles and timed tasks on a screen	Free and paid versions exist	Play and track a score	Not reviewed on this page	Screen time; benefits outside the game are unclear
Sleep and exercise basics	Regular bedtimes, daily movement	Nothing	Build and keep a habit	Broadly recommended for general health	Slow and needs steady effort

None of these is a treatment for anything. If you are worried about your memory, attention or mood, a doctor comes before any track, app or game.

The Genius Song

The seller describes a sound wave that uses “brain entrainment” to switch on gamma, which the video calls “the super brain wave”, and says adults have let it go “dormant”. What you buy is a single digital recording, whose length the seller gives as roughly 7 minutes. Its actual contents are unknown to us, since we have not purchased it.

What sets it apart from the other rows is how much is claimed and how little is shown. The video ties the track to luck, money, promotions, grades and weight loss. The Terms, meanwhile, describe entrainment as inexact and offer the products purely as entertainment. The presenter appears under a pen name, which the site’s own disclaimer admits. On the practical side, it is a single payment with a 90-day refund window and an easy routine. Our review scores each part.

Free binaural and gamma tracks

A binaural-beat recording sends a slightly different tone to each ear, and the listener perceives a beat at the gap between them. Gamma-labelled tracks aim that beat at the gamma range, roughly 30 to 100 Hz. The research on them is split. Pooling lab studies, a meta-analysis published in Psychological Research in 2019 put the overall effect at medium size (g = 0.45) for a number of cognition, anxiety and pain measures. A 2023 systematic review asked a different question, whether these beats actually entrain brainwaves, and counted 14 studies: 5 in favor, 8 against and 1 mixed. Neither looked at The Genius Song.

The presenter says his audio “cannot be found anywhere else, including on YouTube or Spotify”. That is his claim; no published comparison exists, and we could not run one. For someone who only wants to find out whether this style of listening suits them, a free track is a zero-cost first step. Our post on The Genius Song original looks at the YouTube and Spotify question in more depth.

Meditation apps

An app offers many guided sessions instead of one file, usually with a voice telling you what to do. That makes it more flexible, and often more demanding, because the guidance asks for attention rather than passive listening.

There is one research link worth knowing. Long-term meditators have been recorded with high-amplitude gamma activity, in a 2004 study from the University of Wisconsin published in PNAS. That finding concerns experienced meditators, not apps and not audio tracks. One of the bonuses the seller lists is also a guided visualization, credited to a creator the video calls top-rated on the Calm app.

Brain-training games

Games are active where the track is passive. You look at a screen, solve tasks against a clock and see a score. If you like feedback and visible progress, a game offers something no audio file does. We do not review game evidence here, and whether skill on a puzzle carries over into daily life is a separate question from anything The Genius Song claims.

Sleep and exercise basics

The free option asks for the most patience: consistent bedtimes, daily movement, and less screen light late in the evening. These habits are recommended for general health and support everything else on this page. Seven quiet minutes with your eyes closed fits easily into an evening wind-down, whatever you listen to, but a calm routine is not proof that a particular track works.

What gamma research does and does not cover

Gamma waves are genuine brain rhythms, and studies connect them with how the brain handles attention and memory. At MIT, the Tsai lab has tested flickering light and tones at 40 Hz, largely in mouse models of Alzheimer’s, plus a few small first trials in people. That work is not about intelligence, luck or money, and it did not test The Genius Song. Nor did we find any published study behind the video’s MIT line about one brain wave shared by every lucky, wealthy, successful person. Our post on gamma waves and The Genius Song covers this research in more detail.

Products from the same seller

Two related names come up in searches, and neither is the same product as The Genius Song.

Product	Fact from the seller’s pages
The Genius Song	A gamma-themed track, about 7 minutes per the seller, $39, sold on /video/ and /text/
The Genius Wave	A 12-minute theta audio at $39, currently featured on the home page of the same site
The Genius Switch	Another audio product from the same publisher, Happy Consumer, under a different ClickBank vendor ID

Because the home page currently features The Genius Wave, our buttons land there first. The Genius Song’s own sales presentation lives at /video/ on that domain. On the ClickBank page, the item name should read The Genius Song; if it shows another title, stop there. We make no claim that one of these products works better than another.

Who each option suits

If you…	Closest fit
Want a fixed, short listening routine and can treat $39 as an experiment	The Genius Song, with the refund as a backstop
Want to test this kind of audio for free first	A free binaural or gamma track
Want spoken guidance and sessions of different lengths	A meditation app
Like puzzles and visible scores	A brain-training game
Want the lowest-cost option with the broadest support	Sleep and exercise basics
Have a real concern about memory, focus or mood	A doctor, before any of these

Whatever audio you choose, three cautions apply, as our own advice: keep it quiet enough to hear a voice over it, skip it in the car and around machines, and check with your doctor beforehand if you live with epilepsy, have had seizures or have hearing trouble. The safety page explains why.
