I was skeptical about the reviews but decided to purchase these anyways. I dont suffer from migraines but if I did, I think it would be worth it to purchase them for some pain relief. They are not difficult to use whatsoever! So whoever says they are difficult… thats just a user error issue. There are only a few options so you just tap the buttons to switch the effect, while they are on. I think the warming & the pressure on the temples felt nice. I didnt like the vibration though. I havent tried anything like this before so it was nice to try but I also think its expensive for what it does. I would say it provides mild relief. I used them about 10 times before writing this review.

These crafty massaging goggles work great to transport you into another world. The vibrations massage your brain with the rhythmic sounds that soothes your thoughts. My 8 yr old daughter even loves it and uses it to help her fall asleep!

Works as expected, and fits me well. As others mentioned it doesn't fit all face shapes as the hinge in the middle only allows pivoting, no extension.

Got it gelp me relax at the end of the day. Has three heat settings, thee massage settings and three presets: relax, focus and sleep. You can change the default in the app. I prefer the wave massage as apposed to low and high settings. I have a subscription to meditate and this offers a few diffrent sessions just for getting the device. While not as many options as meditate it isnt bad. Take your time to make sure the headband is toght but not too tight, this thing while light does have some weight to it. Build quality is great abd has a heart rate sensor to tell you what your start and end heart rate were while using the app to start sessions.

Over many years i have had occasional headaches and so has my wife. We decided to buy and tey this device. Not inly has it gotten rid of our headaches quickly without havung to use medication. It has also reduced the frequency of the headaches which is just plain wonderful. Its a great device to help you fall asleep as well. Not sure why so many people complain, maybe they just wear it wrong. Idk.

The goggles are a great relief for those of us that suffer headaches on a frequent basis. The goggles are an amazing therapy method that provide relief thru the heat, vibration and for me particularly the massage aspect.
The moment you take them outside of the box you will know they are a quality product, the material feels to have a quality build-feel, the underside plush has a very soft comfortable feel against your eyes, the cloth on the front of the goggles has a nice clean look to it. They do feel a bit bulky, slightly heavy but it is not an issue for me because i sue them when i am lying down so the weight and feel are not an issue. The elastic band is very adjustable and i find a snug fit works best for the massage aspect so that the mechanism presses into my temples and provides a good stress massage.
The heating aspect is suprisingly good, it heats up very quickly and there is a noticeable jump in the heat settings in between heat settings. The massage setting are for the most part pretty basic but the work performed on your temples does provide relief and it does get enough pressure to feel like a massage. The vibration aspect seemed to me to be the weakest part of the design, its just a basic vibration setting which makes more noise while operating as opposed to the relief it provides.
Overall it is a very welcome addition for a stress headache or even right before, those that suffer from headaches can feel it brewing and i found these goggles help treat it before it kicks in and sometimes eliminates it from forming.
I highly recommend it

Effective Relaxation Gadget

----- SUMMARY -----
Verdict:
Anyone can benefit from better focus, relaxation, or sleep, and the Therabody SmartGoggles can help you achieve each. I wouldn’t say I’ve had struggles in any particular area but was pleasantly surprised by how much the SmartGoggles have helped me. This is an excellent relaxation gadget that has become a part of my daily routine, and I recommend trying it.
Pros:
- Easy to use
- Comfortable to wear
- Portable design
- Three modes to choose from
- Customizable heat and vibration
- Good battery life
Cons:
- None
----- DETAILS -----
Design & Use:
Therabody’s SmartGoggles are like a high-tech eye mask. They might look a little silly but you won’t care once you try them. More on the experience later. Using the SmartGoggles is simple. There are three buttons on the top, one for power and toggling through modes, one for toggling through vibrations, and another to toggle through heat levels. You just put the SmartGoggles on your head, adjust the strap as needed, and select your desired settings. There’s also a Therabody mobile app that integrates with the SmartGoggles and allows you to control the device from your phone, enhance the experience with sound therapy, and more. The shape of the SmartGoggles, as well as their adjustable strap, and soft leather-like material make them comfortable to wear. Battery life is generally about 150 minutes or about ten 15-minute sessions. To charge the SmartGoggles, plug the USB-C end of the included cable into the device and the USB-A end into a phone charger or computer. I like the portable, foldable design of the SmartGoggles and that Therabody included a soft protective case for them. The SmartGoggles have a smart design that couldn’t be simpler to use.
Features & Performance:
The Therabody SmartGoggles provide a combination of heat, vibration, and massage to relieve eye strain, release facial tension, or help you relax and sleep in the evening. I’ve put it to the test and can say it’s effective at doing all of that. If you have a headache, it’s an even more rejuvenating experience. My favorite mode, SmartRelax, is powered by Tharabody’s SmartSense Technology. Using its small heart rate sensor, the SmartGoggles recognize your heart rate from the pulse in your temple and the vibration pattern mimics it. This personalized vibration pattern is clinically designed to lower your heart rate, and it really works. In the Therabody app, you can see your heart rate at the start and end of a session. So far, all my sessions have resulted in a lower heart rate. I compared the Therabody heart rates to my smartwatch and saw similar results. If it’s midday, I like to use the second of the three modes called Focus. This mode primarily releases tension between your eyebrows and relieves eye strain. Though I do enjoy midday use of the SmartGoogles, I more often use the device before bed to help me wind down and sleep better. I like to use SmartRelax mode for a bit and then end with the last of the three modes, Sleep. To promote sleepiness, the Sleep mode gently massages your temples and delivers slow-wave vibration. If you happen to fall asleep (which is quite possible with how relaxing it is), the SmartGoggles turn off automatically after 15 minutes. In any of the three modes, you can toggle through a low, medium, or high heat, or turn the heat off. You can also modify the vibration intensity. With the three different modes as well as the customizable vibration and heat, you can tailor the experience to your liking.

1 x Soft protective case
1 x USB-A to USB-C charging cable

This pair of TheraBody Smart Goggles has made a big impact on my anxiety and sleep. The first time I put them on, I didn’t like them at all. I thought they were too heavy, too noisy, and I really didn’t know what to expect. I took them off and read some more about them and the different modes. I loosened up the strap some, made sure they were in the proper place on my eyes, and continued to test each setting. The heaviness went away, they were massaging my temples, and it felt great. The the heat and the gentle massaging really does it for me. I am still a bit uncomfortable with it putting pressure on my temples, although it did feel great. They have a biometric sensor on the inside of them that helps you lower your heart rate and reduce stress. That works wonders. The vibration makes a noise I like and that helps relax me too. They have Bluetooth that I pair with my smartphone. The app has preset modes, and mini relaxing, stress reducing, and sleep inducing sessions. I get headaches and these smart goggles help with them too. They come with a charging cable and a soft case. They fold up to put into the case. The charge last quite awhile. The manual says about 150 hours, depending on mode, but I have used them every day multiple times for about a week, and they are still on the same charge. The only reason that I didn’t give them 5 stars is because the sound it makes when it puts pressure on your temples in massage mode. Vibration mode is totally fine. It’s just a personal preference thing though. I’d recommend them in a heartbeat.

The smart goggle are a very SI-FI looking device which have a great build and excellent comfort, the inside area where your eyes sit is very soft and supple. The app integration is super easy , basically sign into you Therabody app and everything works. The smart goggles have 3 simple controls to help control the head/vibration and turning the goggles on and off, my only issue was at times with the power button. The power button doubles as a selection button for relax/recover/sleep profiles on the goggles and this didn’t always work perfectly. There tends to be a bit of a learning curve when selecting modes and actually turning on the device if you choose to use it without the app, now with the app everything seems to be seamless which I’m assuming everyone will be using since the product does get over the air updates.
After using the goggles I did notice that my eyes felt refreshed, the best way I can describe what that means is when you put on a brand new pair of contacts. Everything looked clearer and when using them during work breaks I noticed that it reduced/removed my dry eye issue with contacts.
The massage portion and the heat function on the goggles are very nicely tuned, I never felt as if it was too much pressure/heat on any of the settings. The feel of the goggles and the strap tension has been perfected so to not cause any pain or annoyance to any user.
The app integration is very nice and clean, it helps you select modes to cater to the type of massage/relaxation you want. While the app is really nice and intuitive I did have one major complaint with the product and that is sound integration. The speaker/sound/instructions being offered by the app, since the goggles have no speakers, is coming from the phone so you would have to use in ear headphones to fix this issue.
For a first generation product the goggles do mostly everything right and make me wonder why no one else has really even considered caring for the muscles around our eyes. I would highly recommend to someone that works on a computer all day or has issues with dry eyes.

I received the Therabody Smart Goggles in White, I must say these are very nice and soothing, like a large, comfy eye mask made from a buttery soft leather-like fabric, with heat, vibration and massage and its perfect for those headaches and migraines. They fold in half and are super lightweight, so easy to travel with.
There are 3 levels to try, Focus - heat and massage, Relax - heat, vibrations and massage,
Sleep - Heat, medium vibration plus temple massage. Each setting can be adjusted to your liking for more or less, heat, vibration or massage.
You can add sound therapy, with plenty of tracks to choose from, and you can also track your stats via the Theramind app. They work quickly and will turn off after 15 minutes.
Overall, these are not a miracle cure all, but are great to have with good benefits of use as to ease facial tension, relieve eye strain, decrease headache pain, relax your mind and body. I would definitely recommend to anyone who suffers from headaches or migraines, or work with computers a lot that suffer from eye strain.

This was a discounted Christmas gift purchase for my wife who battles serious migraines regularly. Bit of a shot in the dark hoping it would provide some relief, and did it ever! It’s almost surprisingly comfortable to wear (even with a large head) and has an impressive selection of settings. The charge lasts well and the actual massaging is both relaxing and effective, so much so that it genuinely can lull you into slumber after a long day. Wearing it for 15 minutes a night has helped reduce my wife’s migraines in both severity and quantity, and there’s a real chance of seeking out a second for myself. With that said, I will probably wait for that kind of sale again. The value is probably worth the price as is, but it is a much better value at a cheaper price.

Initially I was a bit skeptical to try these however I suffer from eye strain headaches from heavy monitor use. I do also
get the occasional migraine and will try anything to help stop one when symptoms start.
Eye strain - I combined this with a pomodoro timer to take "eye breaks" for 10-15 minutes at a time. The results really suprised
me. Prior to these, I would take a short walk - work on something I really did not have to stare at etc . . . That seems to help
stave off some of the tension and eyestrain effect but generally by five or six p.m. I would still be off to do something with the
typical "movie theater" headache. Adding these in with the same times breaks and just "chilling out" in relaxation mode has eliminated
the post screen-work headaches almost entirely. For longer working sessions ( I do have the occasional 14-20+ hour day ) this has
become an essential tool in keeping my eyes and brain functional. I strongly suspect the stress reducing impact of these is the
combination of massage, heat and being pushed to actually relax for a period of time. It's way better than just taking a normal
break !
Migraine use - I have not yet been able to try this in the period in which I have owned them. If I can update this review
at a later time I will. I suspect this will be a bit strong or uncomfortable once a migraine has started but it will be
neat to try as a relaxation technique when the symptoms leading up to one begin.
The app ! - The iphone and android version both work to control and tune the functions of the smart goggles. I had
no issue installing, setting up or using it.
What's in the box - You get the massage SmartGoggles, the charging cord, a manual and a padded travel case.
They fold in half for travel and storage.
What I like -
They work ! Far better than I would have thought !
The heat in combination with the massage is very soothing.
Not so great -
Weight - if you are sitting upright these are fairly heavy. This is likely a trade off for the massaging capability.

I recently purchased the Eye Massager Goggles, and they have been an absolute game-changer! As someone who spends long hours in front of a computer, I often experience eye strain and headaches. These goggles have provided incredible relief and relaxation.
The design is sleek and comfortable, fitting perfectly around my eyes without feeling too tight. The material is soft and breathable, making it pleasant to wear even during longer sessions. The controls are intuitive and easy to use, allowing me to adjust the settings to my preference effortlessly.
What I love most is the combination of heat, vibration, and air pressure massage modes. The gentle warmth helps soothe tired eyes, while the vibrations and air pressure mimic the feeling of a professional massage.
After using these goggles for a few weeks, I’ve noticed a significant reduction in my eye fatigue and headaches. My eyes feel refreshed, and I’ve even experienced better sleep quality. The battery life is impressive, lasting multiple sessions before needing a recharge.
Overall, the Eye Massager Goggles have exceeded my expectations. They are a must-have for anyone looking to alleviate eye strain and improve overall eye health. I highly recommend them to anyone who spends a lot of time on screens or simply wants a soothing, spa-like experience at home!

These are great for some and aren't for others. I bought them for my mother and they didnt fit her face correctly; hence they were a miss. I tried love and love them. They help relax me at night, which helps me fall asleep faster, so I kept them for myself. Due to price, I am hesitant to buy the newer version for my mom to try.

Over all the massage mask is very relaxing! I enjoy the different pressures, the heat function is also nice. The app allows you to enjoy relaxing music while getting the massage, it suggests wearing headphones which makes sense because the one con is that the mask is fairly noisy. For me this isnt a deal breaker but it is why I fave it 4 and not 5 stars. Great product!

I have pros and cons. One pro is Therabody Smart Goggles relax me. I love the heat function and the massage function. Another pro is the phone app with sound selections and session types. It allows me to control it from the phone. Cons are the harness of the surface against the eyes. It should be softer. There should be a cooling function. Sometimes it may feel too tight even when the strap is adjusted.

I have used this device multiple times over the last month or so. I have used it with and without the app. Without the app, you put the smartgoggles and push and hold the start button and away you go with heat and massage. It automatically shuts off after 5 minutes. It is easy and is very enjoyable. With the app, you can try any of the programs you want. Some are short, some last 20 minutes or more. If you have ear buds connected to your phone, there are music tracks with each program, which really enhances the experience. It takes some patience and time to do the ear buds, so I don't use it as much as I would otherwise.

It’s better than expected for relaxation purposes. If you’re stressed and tense from a long day and you pop it on, it’ll definitely bring your stress down.
On the other hand, if you’re not finding much use for it, you might ask be yourself why you purchased it.
The quality of the product is good. It could improve on the massage technique(s), like instead of just squeezing and releasing, a rolling motion might be nice. It’s limited in what it does, hence my 4 stars. But it does what it does pretty well and it’s pretty effective.
Maybe the newer version is better.
