enophone 4+

Backers have been more than patient

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.

Great product

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.

Really cool tool to improve focus & relaxation. Awesome headphones

The Enophones are a pretty innovative system. I definitely felt a real *wow* moment when I first saw a graph of my brain activity. It's like getting a glimpse into the trappings of your own mind.

I've primarily been using the app for work, and the focus mode has been very effective for me. The noise-cancelling also rocks. The focus soundtrack has helped me zero in on my tasks with a high level of productivity.

I found the track for the flow mode really mesmerizing also. It creates the perfect ambiance for deep work and time just zooms by. .

That being said, the app does have its quirks. Navigation can sometimes be clunky, and I've had moments of frustration trying to figure out what is going on. However, I've noticed improvements in the last release, which shows that the developers are actively working on refining the user experience.

I think the Enophones app is pretty groundbreaking as a tool for anyone looking to optimize their mental states. I can see myself using this in my day to day. I think they are great for a student or someone working from home.
