And let's talk about some of the frequently asked questions that I've
gotten around Muse S and one is, I guess the primary one is, "Is Muse S better than Muse 2,
the other headband that Muse offers?" And no, no one is not necessarily better than the other
one. One doesn't replace the other. There are two distinct devices, Muse S as the
letter S implies is meant for sleep tracking. So it has the additional sleep tracking capabilities
that comes with a 10-hour battery life. So you need a longer battery life to, you know, track
your sleep. Whereas the Muse 2, I think has a, maybe a five-hour or so battery life, because you
typically don't meditate for five hours anyway. So it's a sufficient battery life for your
meditation sessions and the Muse 2 cannot do sleep tracking. So it's meant for
meditation only. It has all the same biofeedback real-time feedback that I have
shown you before that I've talked about before. So none of them, all of that is the same. It's just
a sleep tracking that's missing in Muse 2. It also has a slightly different form factor.
So it doesn't go all the way around. It actually goes only behind your ear, so
it looks slightly different. But it's also comfortable to wear the sensor technology
in the headband is slightly different Muse 2 uses gold which has an advantage
because it doesn't oxidate as easily. Whereas the Muse S has silver fabric that might
oxidize over time. So you might, at some point have to replace the headband only not the sensor
Pod. If the silver starts oxidizing and you know, it doesn't get a good signal from your brainwaves
anymore, but otherwise, you know, Muse 2 and Muse S. The same thing from a meditation perspective,
one is just missing the sleep tracking. The second question is, "How do you sleep with
Muse S?" Well, I sleep with it like I normally would without a headband as well. So I just
clip it on right before going to bed. I make sure that Bluetooth is enabled after switching
on airplane mode and it's super comfortable. So I'm a back sleeper and sometimes I move my head
just to the side, but it's super comfortable. It doesn't come off. I just make sure it's snug
enough so I can adjust it on the back. And it's snug enough, not too tight to be uncomfortable,
but tight enough. So it doesn't flop around. The only thing you have to be careful with, if you,
you know if your hands move a lot if you touch your face while sleeping, what have you,
the Pod might get dislodged because it's. But the magnets in there are not as strong
as the magnets in the clasp. So those on the back, they don't open. If you move around and, you know,
move your head, but the one on front, if you like, you know, brush over your face with your hands,
it might actually come off. It never happened to me, but I could see the possibility.
The next question is, "Can I share Muse S with others?" And yes, you can. You can link your
device to multiple phones. I would just recommend that everyone has their own Muse account,
in the app. So if you use, if you have a single phone, then, you know, I would recommend,
you know, Person A once they're done logs out and then the other person logs in. Because what
Muse does is it has a calibration feature. So before some of the sessions, it calibrates
to get a baseline of your brain activity. And if you share the same account, then you
basically confuse Muse because there are different baseline and different brain activity and the
reporting might be off. So I recommend if you only have one phone to pair the device
to everyone should have their own account. If you have multiple phones, obviously you
can. You can link Muse to all of those phones via Bluetooth. And you're good to go. You can
obviously share it. Another question I've heard before is, "Does Muse influence your brain
activity?" And no, it doesn't. It's a passive device, so it reads and monitors your brain
activity, but it doesn't influence it. However, what does influences your brain
activity is your meditation, your breathing, your mindfulness influences brain activity
and Muse picks it up and reports on it. But the device itself doesn't actively,
you know, using electromagnetic radiation or what have you, it doesn't change your
brain activity at all. It just reads it. Last question, "do you have to use headphones or
earphones to use Muse?" No, you don't have to, but I recommend it. I have found that when I meditate
and I use my AirPod Max or my AirPod Pros and put them into noise-canceling mode.
Then I can focus better because I removed the environmental distractions, you know,
noises that, you know, kids might be, you know, screaming or rooster might be crowing.
What have you, the dog might be barking. So by using noise-canceling headphones,
I feel like my meditation sessions are better because I can focus more, remain calmer and
get less distracted. However, even without your phones, you can play the sounds or the biofeedback
and all of that on your phone, you can even, you know, AirPlay that to an external speaker.
If you have an iPhone and the Home Pod, you can stream it or play it via AirPlay. If you want to,
that's certainly possible as well. If you want to have a very accurate sleep tracker
that you can use, you know, for specific nights to find out how your lifestyle changes,
impact the quality of your sleep. Muse S is a great device. I've been
super pleased with it. So check it out. If you want to give it a try and make sure to check out
