Two months ago I posted my initial thoughts on the Niraxx Smart Headband, which I've been using daily for the last sixty days And in this video I'll be going through what it is, what it does, what it's like to use it, and my thoughts on whether you should buy one.
Now Niraxx itself is not going to win any Fashion Awards, not in this century anyway. It's a cross between a hippy headband and something from Star War, made even geekier by the fact that the power and processing pack on the side has a glowing button and three LEDs on it that indicate battery level.
This processing unit is the part that communicates with your smartphone app to select the program and duration.
Inside the headband you will find little holes where the far-infrared LEDs shine through, along with a sensor array that presumably checks whether the headband is properly located on your forehead.
Once you've got it powered on and located properly, you can select one of the programs available on the app. Now one of the reasons that I've taken so long to give an in-depth review of this device is that I really wanted to experience all of the programs and give you an honest view on the effect that they have.
After all, this device is not cheap, so I want to be as straight with you as possible.
Programs run from ten to forty minutes, with forty being the maximum recommended session in any 24 hour period. During the last two months I have mostly used the 40 minute setting unless I'm using it between meetings and don't want to draw odd looks on a zoom call. The way that I've used it is pretty much how I would expect most people to use it - to provide some additional support to whatever situation I'm in from day to day, whether that to boost my mood, help me focus and be extra productive on a complex task, to destress after a busy day, or get myself straight if i've had a bad night's sleep for some reason. There's also a "boost libido" mode but I'd say don't let your other half catching you wearing this half an hour before bed because it is highly likely to reduce your chances of getting anywhere.
I this in-depth review cover the software, the modes and the effect that I experienced from each program. If you'd like to learn more about Photobiomodulation then please check out this video: • Niraxx Brain Pacer Hea...
