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.

I wish it worked as intended

I have had the headphones for a few days and have completed multiple focus sessions of varying lengths. When I complete the session I get the message "Synchronizing session on server, wait a moment please." It doesn't matter how long I wait...the session never syncs. The headphones have to be powered on for the app to function, but even then, it doesn't actually function. I have yet to be able to product the reporting results for a focus session.

Even more frustrating than the lack of functionality is the lack of support. I have sent multiple emails and chats with the chatbot but have gotten no response. I will likely return the headphones. The cost is too high for something that doesn't function as intended/advertised.

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.
