Hi Ben! thanks for reviewing these. Which one of these are best for reducing Hypersensitivity, that is to calm the nervous system down and deal with Stress and overwhelm? thank you.
Hey Mark, great question. Although I haven't dived into the research specific to hypersensitivity and wearables, my thought process goes to the Touchpoints to help calm the nervous system and for faster relief.
Just wanted to say that sensate is supposed to be used together with the accompanying Sensate app🙏 Used that way the promised effects will be of greater value
Great reviews. Have you seen the Bellabee device? It’s actually older than the ones you reviewed. But, unfortunately the company hasn’t done a great job of marketing.
Hi @Ben Angel! Thanks so much for the comprehensive review of these products. I'm looking to buy a device that will help me gain mental clarity and energy for the day ahead, helping me to focus. Time & price are not on sure. In terms of focus & energy, which device would you recommend most? BrainTap, NeoRhythm, or something else? :) Thanks so much!!
I purchased a Sensate in early June. It arrived in early November. I have had 3 of them fail. They stopped vibrating. Because I complained the company now refuses to send a fourth. I never got a chance to use it for long but I think it has some positive impact.
I'm so sorry to hear. I wonder if it's an early version of the device. Hit them up on their social media accounts to get their attention. That's not ok.
@@BenAngel this is their newest iteration of the Sensate. I tried leaving a slightly negative comment on the comment section of Indiegogo but they “erased” all my comments. So I’ve comments on sites like yours to let people know. That got them angry and they won’t send a fourth. I have to hope they follow through with sending me a re-fund. Nothing yet.
Love the review. The Braintap is for sure great BUT nobody mentions the MONTHLY added cost to actually access the programs... adding up to 400 extra dollars per year!
you didn't mention brain Tap is a subscription. Are you paid or given these devices free? Would be helpful to know your position in promoting these products
Hey Hando, I'll go into more video in a longer video, there was a lot to cover, you also don't need a subscription for the device, they do have some free programs on there already. Re. being paid, I'm not paid to cover any of these devices. I often get the devices free, but I'm under no obligation to give a positive review. For example, I was given 3 Oura Rings, all of them failed... so I contacted the company, & called them out in this video for other reasons - ruclips.net/video/zwGoW-3RzvQ/видео.html I'll happily retract a review/provide an update if they don't stand the test of time, or I later find out that consumers have been misled in any way.
Hi Soriah, I'm all for electrotherapy... with a caveat. That someone rules in or rules out the multiple factors that contribute to anxiety, i.e. target the cause, not treat the symptom.
Thanks Vaibhav, they both have different purposes/uses with similar outcomes. In saying that, I would choose Touchpoints for those suffering with anxiety over NeoRhythm. NeoRhthm for focus/brain training & even mild pain management. It all comes down to how the individual responds personally to the type of stimulus.
Fantastic question, I would go with the Muse because it will help them train their brain to be less reactive or overwhelmed by particular stimuli. It's great for teens because it also includes a gamification element, i.e. calmness score. You could even make it a competition in your household to see who can get the highest. I would also do a multi-pronged approach, look at diet, as well as address any digestive issues. My new book explores the gut/brain axis in great detail, especially around antibiotics and diet, factors that often get overlooked when it comes to a teens/our mental health.
@@BenAngel thank you, this is helpful information. And yes, I'm a big advocate of Digestive Health in have been for 30 years, so your point is well taken. Thanks again!
Have you reviewed the Muse S yet? I appreciate this video but it appears to be the Muse 2. Interested in the S as it appears to have additional sleep related biofeedback functionality. Thanks!
Great question, unfortunately not yet. It's definitely on a long list to test. :) It will be interesting to see how accurate their sleep tracking is on Muse S. The Oura Ring failed spectacularly - ruclips.net/video/zwGoW-3RzvQ/видео.html I expect this to perform much better seeing as though it's on the head, not the finger.
I had never heard of them, but a little bit of research shows they haven't posted anything to social media since 2019 & their current website redirects to insurance companies.
Absolutely, the issue would of course be the funding. I'm concerned for the kids of today who are being bombarded with social media. Devices like these could help them to find a balance.
Any thoughts which device may help with insomnia? I've heard the wrist wearable, doppel, mimics a body-scan meditation and *MAY* help, but I haven't found any reviews for it. Or would you recommend a cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES) device for sleep, like Dave Asprey's 40-years of Zen? Binaural beats (SleepPhones)?
Neorhythm was an epic fail for me. I noticed no changes in HRV during sessions. Also the return shipping to Croatia was a nightmare. Sensate was great but broke 4 times. Muse is great! Haven't tried braintap yet
So why haven't you addressed the Hapbee device ? Even if it's just bullshit at least present it here so people will know to avoid it, the technology seems similar to the Neorhythm, for some reason the Hapbee never seems to be reviewed in these types of presentations.
It's pretty simple, I haven't tested the device. This review was about devices I've had for sometime, how they've held up, ease of use etc. I usually like to have a device for a minimum of one month before I comment on it - otherwise I'm just getting caught in the hype of so many others. That also allows me to see if any issues arise after extended use, i.e. especially bluetooth connectivity. It's on my list in the future.
@@BenAngel okay makes sense thanks just wondering as it had me thinking,why in most reviews of this type like Cody's Rall reviews of brain headsets it doesn't even appear on the radar, but other equivalent devices make it, even pre release mentions at least. Just curious if there is an advertising issue or anything. I tried to get on Hapbee's Facebook group and wasn't accepted. Maybe they know their device is just a placebo brick and are protecting it.
@@christofinb hapbees is scam.. You have to pay 500 usd and for every Program 30usd extra per month. The big problem is that's don't work. It's don't work with a magnetic field... It's works with radio frequency and very low. This device generate only a placebo effect for lots of money.
@@michaelhaydn9893 yes am aware of the subscription costs and everything. In that case if indeed it's just a brick I'm glad people ignore it in reviews.
Braintap product gave me a headache. RETURNED. Don't fall for these sponsored reviews. The product looks and feels like a $20 kids toy. This product is a SCAM.
I came here to see if anyone else had negative effects as it’s giving me a headache and an inability to concentrate. They say these things don’t have any side effects but that has not been my experience.
I honestly think it’s bc I have so much brain dysfunction that my brain has a hard time with these interventions. I’ve had problems with neurofeedback as well. What I wish is that these ppl would stop saying there are no negative side effects. Everything has side effects. Wish you well and hope you find something that works for you.
@@BenAngel Nucalm and two others I can’t recall , one at my Chiropractor office the other at my Psycologist office. Nucalm everyday for 3 months. The others, one I had 50 sessions. The other ten. Never noticed anything from any of them. I’ve also had brain retraining at sound therapist . Nothing noticed. I see all of this stuff as placebo for some. Maybe I’m different. I don’t ever notice pain reduction taking Advil or Aspirin.
Do these devices emit EMF since they are using Bluetooth? Are they safe to put on our heads?
Nice objective pros & cons review. Thanks

Thanks for your time reviewing these. I’m on the early bird list for a brain training device called Mendi, have you come across that one?
Thanks Luciana! :) I've seen Mendi pop-up in the past few months. I'll see if I can get my hands on one to review in the new year.
@@BenAngel ah that would be great, thanks for responding. 😊

Hi ben did you try fisher wallance brain stimulator? Ty
Not yet Vincent, it was on my radar at the time. I would certainly be willing to give it a go for sure.
