enophone

2 stars because I love the earphones, literally saves me, but mine stopped working, have a mind altering feedback. I’ve submitted tickets, no resolution, and I’m still paying for them, as I choose to pay overtime. Experienced an extremely difficult time in my life where these helped significantly.. unfortunately, they haven’t worked for longer than they worked, no one will help guide me, so I’m paying for a product i desperately need, but does not work. And again.. feel lost, overwhelmed, and un supported.. I even was buying these for me while team, but after the lack of service, I’m looking for an alternative as soon as I get over the guilt of investing in my well being.

I'm a comp sci major, and focus is everything. I got these enophones as a gift, and they’re now my secret weapon for studying. They pair with an app that tracks my brain and helps me get into the right headspace, whether I need to focus, calm down, or get in the zone. The headphones adapt in real time—they play sounds that keep me focused or relaxed based on how I’m doing. There’s also a mode where I can just track my brain while listening to my own music or meditating, which is super cool. They’ve really helped me with studying, relaxing, and even sleep. Plus, as a tech geek, I find it so fascinating to see how my brain reacts in real time—it’s like a Fitbit for my mind. If you’re a student who wants an edge, especially in a tough major, I totally recommend enophones.

As an original backer of the product when it had an estimated delivery date back in Dec 2017, it’s been a long, long road and wait. I WANT to like it as it is an interesting product with great potential. Sound quality is excellent as a pair of headphones, but these are supposed to offer A LOT more. For the app - not sure why you can’t access your reports without having your Enophones connected. The radar graph is nice, but the ratios / numbers and how to use them is cumbersome. The reports seem to duplicate themselves when you look at the details. And like the now defunct desktop application, information is provided without a lot of guidance in the apps on how to use it, benchmark or range guidance to expect. I suppose you have to dig into all the neuroscience reports to even begin to understand some of it. Overall it could be a lot more helpful, allowing output features to the graphs, allow saving to journal entries without a lot of screenshotting. After such a long wait to have a highly anticipated product, company name changes, bankrupt / not bankrupt- I could be a lot more harsh. But I suppose hope it finally turns into something is just hanging on.
