This video is not sponsored. I borrowed the headset from the company to review and returned it after making this video. I do not receive any income from sales of the headset.
Can you "tap the full potential of your brain's power" with this headset?
The makers say using BrainTap can reduce stress and worry, enhance sleep, have you waking up feeling energized, let you "reach deeper meditative states without years of disciplined practice" - and more.
The headphones and visor have lights inside that are meant to help alter your brain state (for the better) as you relax with your eyes closed whilst listening to the sound of guided visualization audio-sessions on the BrainTap Pro app.
I used the headset every day for three weeks and I put a LOAD of questions to the inventor for you; Dr Patrick Porter.
This video includes: my likes and dislikes about the headset and app, plus Dr Porter talking brainwaves, neuroplasticity, dementia, language skills, dancing and fire engines… it all makes sense when you watch.

My braintap headset broke within 2 weeks and I have been asking for help for over 6 weeks now Their customer service is utterly useless, so I have asked for a refund. They say Im beyond the 45 days in which I can claim a refund which is completely unfair. Plus I dont think the huge battery in the earpiece can be very good as you can feel it burning your ear. I am emailing them daily and asking for a response from the manager and still they ignore me, this is disgusting for a bundle costing around £600.
Absolutely disgusting. Thank you, I've read all I need to, to know not to buy one. I was tempted until I read your comment
@@lloydnorval1989 In fairness, I have to say that I refused to let this go as it was SO expensive, I did get a replacement after daily emails for 3 months. ..! I found the email address for Dr Porter and said I would go public with my thoughts on social media. I am happy to say that it has really helped me with positive thinking and its my "happy place" when Im using it. Although the big battery in the earpiece does concern me and the customer service definitely needs massive improvement. I hope this helps : )
@@LittleMiska31 thank you, I will have to save up for a long time to afford one though :)
We absolutely love ours. My so-and-so I each got one and again well worth the money. As far as the battery burning the ear?????? We absolutely love these.
Love using my brain tap for wight release...I have released 20 lbs in the last 6 months and have kept to off with ease ....love the Fasting tracks
For the enormous price, one must pay for the headset, which does look like a toy, all the software should be included free. Also, the return should be for one year.
My concern is using bluetooth from the app to the headset...not happy about projecting that EMF into my skull
I remember wave frequencies with G-BAT-D they’re in order of frequency ❤
Love using the BrainTap device! It helps me so much with anxiety from working in the healthcare field during the pandemic to overcoming grief from death. It’s literally saved my overall state of being. Thank you for this video! 🙏🏼😚✌️
What is the youngest age it is safe for?
@@jozsefhomoky530 I think depends on how mature the child is. but to be safe, I would contact the company.
All ages are safe as long as they can keep their eyes closed.
Not sure if I can use it as I may have undiagnosed epilepsy. I had one hospitalization for a grand mal seizure which was was witnessed, but drs say it’s not enough to confirm epilepsy. So I’m afraid to use brain tap
Can you use it with other audio???
I'm curious because Im looking for ways to enhance the Gateway Process.
At 41:10 you talk about using regular headphones instead of the BrainTap headset, but actually show us using mini phones in your ears. You will not get the frequency responses that are generated using these mini headphones, but need to use a good quality set of headphones for best results. At 41:48 you mention that you get 10 audio tracks free. When I registered my headset I got 116 free tracks, and as you say many more packages at $9.99 month each.
I have had some minor issues with loss of blue flashing lights when an SMS comes through my phone with the beep, even when on flight mode. I have to switch my phone off and back on to reset the flashing blue lights. Not sure if this is what fixes it, but do have a problem restoring the flashing blue lights at times.
After one week I experienced a very sudden noticeable change in awareness and shift with increased energy levels.
This is no placebo effect, as someone below suggested, but a very good technology with science behind it.
Ok please feel free to post the science. But not from a 3 person trial sponsored by the company that sells the product.
😂thanks, always love a good anecdote.
Interesting comments about the price. If you go to a practitioner, as I know one who has used this in her practice for 15yrs, you would pay for the unit after 4 sessions with her. When owning the device, you have it forever...and the whole family can use it. I've heard some amazing testimonials from friends who own one.
thanks Audrey - do you think you'll buy one?
@@HealthHackers Most definitely!😊 I'm 69. I've tried meditating using Dr. Dispenza's stuff for years. The monkey mind thing is real! LOL I have a childhood I could write a novel about, and a marriage with a narcissistic sociopath husband I could write a novel about. I still have a smile on my face, as God is in my heart, and I look at it as "I'm a survivor." All the people I know who've used it have had amazing experiences, even weight loss, when nothing else has worked.
Nice video. Are you using the Rode Wireless 2? Thinking about get it.
Just the Rode Wireless Go… I like it
I bought Brain Tap and it wouldn't work. The programs closed randomly while playing. The headset/helmet are very cheap stuff. They would NOT help me with a return. I was literally robbed and they were rude about it. This company is a disgrace to the wellness community.
😨
Did you ever try using the app on a different device, like a separate phone or a tablet?
@@blaise-of-glory thanks for the question. As a matter of fact, I actually bought a brand new iPad, thinking that my old one possibly didn't have enough space. While it helped somewhat,( at least most of the stuff downloaded), the programs still closed randomly. Customer service was just unforgivably rude and unhelpful.
sounds like incompetent user error
@Scallywags No product is 100 off the assembly line, right? There is always a fail, a lemon. Also Every Co should standby its product, especially a brain device.
This is not the first comment I've heard about Braintap customer service & NOT following through on their RETURN POLICY.
I'VE HEARD THIS MANY TIMES AND is WHY I won't purchase. If this has changed let me know people I might consider the purchase.
Maybe they could add a subscription model which includes the headset and includes no nonsense insurance and returns. They could run it like a phone contract where you get a new headset every three years in exchange for the old one. That way the customer is protected from unknown build quality in the headset and also gets an upgrade. This would be a better way to keep people subscribed and more interested long term as you can go for the "one more thing" on the new headset rollout.
Excellent idea! I'd purchase one today!!!
I have a BrainTap headset for sale, at a much lower price than new. Unfortunately, I am unable to wear this device. It has been very minimally used, and is in like new condition.
Another very interesting and amazing looking piece of tech health Hackers. The Brain Tap looks like it belongs in a Sci-Fi Movie. Despite this scenario, Dr Porter wants to remind us that along with the marvellous returns one gets from the BT headset, it really is designed with the natural rhythms we experience in nature in mind, like the flickering of the flames of a fire in a homely and comfortable setting. Fascinating explanations on how one can achieve 'neuroplasticity' in our brain, but also reminding us that we are light beings, beings of energy, which seems a rather spiritual look at this futuristic solution to all our stress problems, sleep deprivation, brain left and right hemisphere balance, energy-boosting and so on. I hope the airlines take an interest in this wonderful device. Long haul trips around the planet would be a truly wonderful experience. Thank you for sharing.
Good idea. Airlines should definitely look into having more wellness tech options onboard for passengers! Thanks for watching and leaving these thoughtful comments!
As the headset doesn't have noise canceling, it likely wouldn't work on planes and in noisy places (airports), as the loud ambient sound would drown it out. it might work well in those places with noise canceling headphones.
What about the warranty? Companies that build quality add more than one year or at least offer a paid warranty extension.
I believe the pop and crack noises as well as some random silent moments are there for a reason.
How do I order?
Hellishly cool review! as it is nearly a year-old video i'll give a shout-out to ya: Happy Mother's Day 2022 this coming weekend.
Some reviewers state the headset is cheap, does not block out ambient sound. Others say it broke and service is lousy.
I downloaded their app on my phone and to get the the head
set they want almost $800 797.00 instead of the 647.00 that you you bought it for
Do you have to purchase the app to use the headset? Are you able to plug it into your phone and use with you tube music? On the old headphones system you could.
I didn’t actually try using the headset without the app. Sorry I can’t be more helpful!
The App is free. The subscription is a monthly service. Either $9.99 or $29.99 depending on how many programs you want in your library.
I own 2 of these headsets. It is possible to use the software/programs without the headset however this works way better with the headset. I have had the headsets for over 6 months and use them every day, (at least once per day). This is not just a headset but in fact uses binaural beats and lights into ears and eyes. To get the best out of the service/headset it's best when you get the super set of programs. Total cost is headset plus $29.99 per month. There are deals where you can get 1 year included with the headset.
Free demo programs are only a taste of the programs. There are over 1500 programs in the entire subscription.
Using the app/programs without the BrainTap headset doesn't give anywhere near the same effect. The binaural beats are actually REMOVED from the BrainTap headset and sent to the lights in front of you but not when you use the app/programs with a standard a headset.
I agree that the headset is kind of flimsy but it DOES work and helps with many brain issues. It clears brain fog and noticeably improves performance. This is definitely good for those that wish to gain additional performance above others.
I can suggest many programs to use for performance and some additional changes to improve the hardware.
Hardware: move some buttons over to the left ear piece (they are too clustered), add Qi charging, etc.
Programs: I love most of the PM programs and use them to sleep. There are about 20 of those.
@HealthHackers: Performance of the audio is heavily affected by the age of your hardware, (and the speed of the processor). I intended to use an old Android device but I found that it dropped out too much and didn't have enough storage for the downloaded programs of the BrainTap. Tech support suggests that you use fairly recent hardware.
Full disclosure: I bought my own headsets and do not make any money by selling or use of the headsets. I do have access to the professional programs (through my wellness provider). There are over 1500 programs that have been updated and augmented through professional access. BTW, I have used these to get better sleep, mental focus, and better performance. They do work very well for me. That's it.
How long are the sessions?
I seem to remember that they varied in length. Lots of different tracks on the app.
Some of the early morning ones are 10 or 11 minutes. A lot of them are around 20-23 minutes. There are some 30 minutes. I have been using this for about 10 days now. I’m pretty happy. When you ask for technology help at the area code 302 number you get a person who is not too excited to work with you, and that was a bad experience. They also don’t give you a manual so you have to figure out a lot of things on your own. I just discovered these videos and they’re being very helpful. The company itself was not helpful and did not give you the starter information. I purchased mine in Austin at the ketocon in April 2023.
I’m really interested in buying a brain device. But a lot of the feedback is showing not so helpful customer service. It’s very unfortunate.
Don't care for the monthly fee. If it's over six hundred dollars, how muchmore will a person have to spend 3, 5, 10 years later?
Good to know. Thank you.
I like the idea of this, but it feels not quite finished. It looks like brittle plastic. The usb port looks obsolete. The bright shiny white plastic with garrish graphics does not look good. I like the application and the potential benefit from the therapy, I just wish the headset was premium quality for the price. It needs to be a long term product for that much.
There is a channel on youtube about the signals that provides them for free. It is a very expensive gadget.
Oh really? What’s the channel?
So did you end up buying one with your own money?
I did not buy one.
Too bad Its very expensive and from what I read some are faulty upon receiving
My comment was deleted too. This Braintap stuff censored very heavily
Your comment was deleted from which channel?

@@jfresh2054 what did it say?
🍂🍁Caveat Emptor 🍁🍂Star Trek: The Next Generation

Sounds like a good placebo with people with low to mild levels of stress and anxiety. Like the doctor himself said, relax with some music in front of some relaxing scenes and, it will give you the same benefit. Sleeping with that headset and eye gear? Save the money, make time for relaxation around some candles with incense and music.
That's not the same, i have had hypnotherapy and used this headset and it makes a big difference.
Enjoy your maternity leave! 😍
Thank you!😊
I'm good these headsets look like toddler family dollars something doesn't seem right.
This product gave me a headache. RETURNED. Don't fall for these sponsored review. The product looks and feels like a $20 kids toy. This product is a SCAM.
What makes you think this is a sponsored review? It most certainly is not.
@@HealthHackers why do you keep deleting my comments? What do you have to hide?
Tell me what comments have been deleted.
@@HealthHackers
You clearly gave an honest and objective review and I was looking for dishonesty.
I was dreaming within 10 days after using this product after not sleeping well for months. It 100 percent works to some degree. Sounds like a user error on your end.
There is no short cut in meditative practice. This is a scam.
I appreciate this take. However, I will wait on an upgrade.
Thanks for watching!
