What’s in the box?
The box contains the headband, charging cable, quick start guide, different size traps and a 3-month membership card.
A Closer Look
Using Flowtime
There is a Flowtime app that is used to connect to the headband and capture all the readings, make settings changes and choose what you want to do. It’s available for both iOS and Android.
Final Thoughts
The Flowtime headband is very lightweight – you almost cant feel its there when you are wearing it. You place it on your forehead with the five sensors touching you head – you almost wear it like you would sunglasses, only higher up.
Pairing the headband with the app was as simple as starting the app, following the steps and then you are ready to use it. The whole process, including creating an account only took a few moments.
Charging the headband is really easy – just connect the supplied cable to the headset and the other end to a computer or USB plug and let it charge. When fully charged, the headband lasts for around 8 hours, and the Flowtime app will show how much battery is remaining.
A 3-month membership card is included within the box so you can try out all the features for 3 months and then decide if you want to continue with the premium features or just use the free features, which on their own are really good anyway!
If you are new to meditation, there are lots of different guided meditations can you follow to help you on your journey. Some of them are free and some you need the premium membership for, but as mentioned, you do get a 3-month membership card included in the box so that you can see for yourself what you need.
During and after each session, various data readings are taken and analysed. A lot of it might not mean that much to you, however it’s very each to go and read up on each set if results to understand more about that it is doing.
I found the Flowtime Biosensing Meditation Headband really easy to use and it showed a lot of interesting results and it helped me to relax. I will be continuing to use it going forward and I am eager to try out all the different options and meditations.
The Flowtime Biosensing Meditation Headband is available now, priced around £174.00, although at the time of writing the review it was on-sale for £161.00.
