Hey guys !
I'm gonna review these today
The Necomimi Brainwave Cat Ears
I've seen a few videos of these on the Internet over the years
So I finally got my hands on my own pair
If you have ever heard of what these are
These are cat ears that you put on your head
and there's this little sensor
The sensor brainwave
And they will move according to how you feel
''apparently ''
So we are gonna try them out and see if they're actually accurate
So on the box here
It says they would react to four different moods
High Relaxation
Focus or Relaxation
High Focus
And High Interest
I'm gonna try them on now
And we'll see how they work
And then my friends Kim and Bronwyn are going to join me
And we are gonna see if we can get the same reaction
From these when we all try to like do the same emotion
This is what the box looks like
We've got some instructions
on how to use them
And this is what they look like
They feel really like smooth
I like the material they are made of
They feel like they are good quality
Alright. So I guess it goes like this
This is the sensor
So this is the sensor that is gonna go on your forehead
And these are the moveable robotic parts that we're gonna put covers on
So these are what the little ear covers looks like
They just pop on into the robotic parts like that
So what's really cool about these, it's if you like making your own costume so you like sewing
You can make your own ears. You can even make big floppy bunny ears
Or like horn or anything really
As long as you have a foam cover inside that will fit on top of the original contraption
So they just slide on here like that
They're so cute dude
I wanna make grey ones
Tada~
And there's also one other sensor
This sensor down here will clip onto your earlobe
Lets try and put this on, it looks like this is a strap that can go around your head, if you feel like you need it
I have a really big head so stuff usually sits on pretty tight
And you bring this in to down to your forehead, so this might be difficult because I have bangs
And I feel like they are going to get in the way.
This looks good if you have bangs, kinda cover it.
So like if I wanted to cover this sensor I could part my bangs to the other side then it would cover it completely.
This is a bendy wire so you wanna fold it so that its really flat to your head and like, the surface is
evenly touching your forehead.
And you wanna take this other sensor clip here and just clip it on to your earlobe, like that.
Its not very strong, so it doesn't hurt or anything, it doesn't pinch you like those weird fake ear rings.
So there's a power button right here, lets push it and see what happens!
So in the beginning, they twitch a little bit, their just calibrating.
The cats have come to see what's going on
[Laughing]
[Laughs], She looks terrified.
Okay, now both the ears are in the same position I think they're ready to go.
So let's see if I can myself relaxed. [Inhale]
Nope, didn't work [Laughs]

Alright, so we tried the NekoMimi Ears, and the first thing I noticed is when Kim had them on, as soon as she started doing the meditation thing
they went right down to the relaxed position and then when one of the cats would make a noise, or like you would say something
they would perk up [Laugh] or like the one would twitch, Yeah! So it was really obvious that they were working for her.
But I think for me, like i'm not very good at relaxing, so like my brain, like, constantly going
Yeah, so even when I was meditating it was hard to get them to go to the down position but I guess for people like Kim
Who are like good at like, turning their brain on and off/ I can relax, I can do nothing for like, a long time./Yeah, they're really good for people
like you that I think me and Bronwyn we are both kinda like/We can't relax[Laughs]
But when she was eating the lemon it was like, kinda relaxed/Yeah![Laughs] She, okay Bronwyn loves Lemons, she's kinda weird
She enjoyed eating that lemon, but yeah they were in the relaxed position. I don't know, after watching them on Kim
I definitely feel like they're accurate because every time you said words or if you opened your eyes, to look at Maro
They would like perk up/ Yeah they were really accurate/ Yeah! I think it really depends on the person they would very obviously work for some people that are very good at relaxing -
And having that like, high brain activity mode and low brain activity mode. But, they were really fun, I liked them and I really liked how you can customize them -
And put like, Yeah, like whatever you call it/Oh my god I didn't realise it was that small in there/ Yeah, they're just little ones/
You can like put bunny ears or dog ears/ Yeah, right and it would like flop around/Or Halloween you could like DIY anything you want it/Yeah!
Anyways, I'll put the link down below where you guys can get these. They're 49.99, they are a lot cheaper than they used to be when they first came out.
It used to be like a hundred twenty dollars when I first saw them./You saw them at like a con or something right?/Yeah, and I was at a con in Australia, it was like a $120.
Yeah, but you can get them online now on amazon for like, 49.99 so, its not too bad, I think i'm gonna give these ones to my sister because she likes cosplaying.
And I feel like she would really enjoy these. So, i'm gonna send them to her.
Thanks for watching guys! Make sure to check out Kim and Bronwyn if you are not subscribed to their channels already and I'll see you again soon!
Bye! [Waves]
