What would I choose now, Muse S or Muse 2? Overall, if I had to choose again, if I lived in the US or Canada, I’d probably prefer the Muse S. But I hope on creating some integrations with other apps to be able to utilize those functions in a different way in the future. I noticed that I don’t use the meditations that focus on heart rate and breathing, as I’m most interested in brainwave activity. The Muse 2 is similar to the Muse 1, but has some bonus features- it tracks your heart rate and breathing beyond just brainwave activity and has an accelerometer and gyroscope to be able to track movement. The main reason for not just getting a replacement of the Muse S was that I was concerned that if I had problems again with the wear and tear of the Muse S and I was somewhere internationally, that it would be too much of a pain to try to return it or get the replacement straps, especially with travel being so up in the air. I decided that I would return it and instead get the Muse 2. I communicated with the support team to troubleshoot, and they were very helpful. However, after about 4 months of using the device almost daily, there were several connection issues. The year prior, I had done an interview with the company to offer some feedback of my experience with Muse 1, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that several of the points I made about the device were actually integrated into this device. The data you get while falling asleep is one of the big benefits of the Muse-S.
I noticed that I used it a lot more compared to the Muse 1 just because of how easy it was to use and handle and I enjoyed falling asleep with it. I decided to give the Muse S a shot, and was really happy with it! I loved the flexible and comfortable band. I was far away from my Muse device as well, and after several weeks, I decided I needed a new Muse. At the beginning of the COVID crisis, I found myself stuck in the US away from my home in South America for an indefinite amount of time. When I had bangs, the whole device would be hidden. I’ve used them on planes and they look discreet. One of the things I like about Muse devices is that I can travel with them. I don’t want to name names, but there are other devices which I am sure have wonderful functionality, but it’s not the kind of thing I’d want to wear in public unless I wanted to draw a crowd.
If you enjoy the unboxing experience you get with Apple products, Muse devices have a similar feel.
MUSE S 2 HOW TO
They were amazed at how getting the feedback helped them in their processes of learning how to meditate and how to become even more aware of their brain activity and to hear when their minds started to drift off. I found it to be a game-changer for myself but also different clients to who I was able to demonstrate the device to. I was so happy with its performance- it provided almost no delay of feedback of brain activity especially relative to the Neurosky Mindwave, and the easy-to-use Muse app made it simple to have the neural feedback to come in audio form of rain or other soundscapes. Based on reviews and the price point, I opted for a Muse 1 device (not available anymore).
I scoured the internet to find which wearables were on the market in the under $500 range and what the reviews were. However, I wanted a better, faster, user-friendly device.
And getting the neural feedback was extremely useful. Some of the things that I was taught and that I was teaching had to do with the brainwave state that we were in. After I was given Neurosky’s Mindwave several years ago, I found that being able to visualize my brainwave activity especially while doing a lot of ThetaHealing work, gave me a lot of useful data. Searching for EEG devices in the <$500 range. It’s not about trying to resist the integration with technology, but how can we use technology to make us happier, more mindful, and more peaceful? I believe that eventually, it is inevitable that we are going to be much more connected, and the interconnection of technology with our human experience is accelerating. Responsive device, solid app, great price point, excellent customer support. Get the Muse 2 if you live anywhere else or your priority is brainwave data. TL DR: Get the Muse S if you want some sleep data and can easily ship to/from North America.
