Buggy and unimpressed with features
Purchased the item in December and used until I was fed up with its function. Concept was fantastic, but did not work out well in practice.
What I wanted the device to do was sense lapses in concentration before i noticed them, allowing me to return to a relaxed state sooner. However, even with assisting the brain sensors with water, the headset sensed lots of false lapses in concentration. These lapses translate to bad weather in the headset, which serves to distract the user further. So essentially, the device made meditation time more distracting instead of improving it.
The brain, heart, and breathing sensors do not work simultaneously. So, there is no option to see if long periods in a relaxed brain state translate to lowered heart rate or breathing. Instead, each sensor has a completely separate mediation exercise.
In summary, the device did not function well enough to warrant keeping it. Even if it had however, the lack of ability to use the devices sensors simultaneously would have made it a disappointing purchase.
