    It hurt my eyes on where it pressurized on my head. It barely reached the actual spots where it should massage your forehead. Returned unfortunately. Was really hopeful that it would be a great massager.

    Fantastic headache relief; cryptic instructions

    I suffer from chronic migraines, averaging 7 days a month that I need to take medication. Although my medication is effective, I have been seeking ways to prevent the migraines from happening in the first place, so I decided to try the Therabody SmartGoggles. The good news is that I haven't had a single migraine since using the SmartGoggles more than a week ago. Whenever I felt like a headache might be coming on, I did a 15-minute session with the SmartGoggles, and I avoided the migraine. The SmartGoggles experience is so pleasant that I use the goggles every day, just to relax. My family members have also tried the SmartGoggles and they love the experience. The SmartGoggles' features are nothing short of amazing. You can choose from three modes—SmartRelax, Focus, and Sleep—that deliver gentle massaging pressure to the area around the eyes, area between the eyes, and the temples, respectively, while administering different combinations of heat and vibration. You can adjust the vibration patterns and heat levels at any point with buttons on the device. If you connect the goggles to the Therabody app through Bluetooth, you can select informative talks, guided meditations, and music with associated goggle settings while experiencing a treatment. The SmartGoggles monitor your heart rate to adjust the functions of the goggles, and the Therabody app records your heartrate so that you can see the decrease in HR from beginning to end of a session. Now, the one downside to the SmartGoggles: cryptic and inconsistent instructions for use. The goggles came with one of those extremely tiny (4.25"x2.5" 5-page) manuals with print so small you almost need a magnifying glass to read it. Instructions for powering on (with a long button-press) and toggling through the three modes (with a short-button press) are clear enough. Instructions for charging and cleaning are clear. But then comes some confusion. Although the three modes are described by the different combinations of massaging area, vibration, and heat, and Mode 3 (Sleep) is obvious, it isn't clear what the different purposes might be for Mode 1 (SmartRelax) and Mode 2 (Focus). SmartRelax "promotes relaxation" while Focus "is intended to relax the mind and aid focus." The difference between these two goals could be better described. Next, the instruction booklet contains a picture of the Mode toggle button and adjacent LEDs to indicate which mode is selection you have chosen, but it does not point to and label the three LEDs. You are meant to assume that the LEDs for Modes 1, 2, and 3 are laid out in that order from closest to farthest from the toggle button. There are three tiny icons that look like a human head, a target, and a crescent moon with cloud next to the LEDs that match those symbols in the booklet, so it was possible to verify the correspondence between LEDs and modes. Not so for the vibration and heat buttons, which do not appear in any diagram. If you squint hard enough, you can see three wavy lines on the vibration button and two wavy lines on the heat button that are meant to distinguish them. There is an LED next to the heat button to indicate heat level. Ultimately, I had to experiment to confirm which button controlled which function. There is also little explanation of the different vibration settings: "wave, breathing, and pulse" and why you might want to choose a particular setting. Again, you have to try them to experience the differences. The three heat settings are low, medium, and high. According to the booklet, you can turn vibration and heat off completely with a long press. What I found is that you can turn them off simply by continuing to toggle with a short press. The booklet contains on the "getting started" page a QR code that takes you to the Therabody get-started website. I strongly encourage you to follow the code to that site. It contains a short getting started video, but, more importantly, a link to a better user manual for the goggles. This PDF manual contains a diagram that clearly labels the vibration and heat buttons and further explains how toggling these buttons produces different effects in the three Modes. In SmartRelax, the vibration button toggles between Off and Pulse; in Focus Mode between Low, High, Off, and Wave; in Sleep Mode between High, Wave, Off, and Mode. The heat button toggles between all three levels and off in all Modes, but in different orders. The meanings of vibration settings Pulse and Wave are not described; you simply have to experience them to discover the difference. The "breathing" vibration setting in the printed booklet does not occur in the PDF user manual. I guess they changed the labels for a setting. The online PDF manual also instructs you to download the Therabody app from the Apple App Store or Google Play, something that is not mentioned in the manual that came with the goggles. I downloaded the Android app no problem. It is a general-purpose Therabody app meant to accompany all Therabody devices, not just the SmartGoggles, and its setup instructions ask a number of questions about your activities and goals in order to recommend exercises. It can also integrate with Google Fit and Strava if you choose, which I did. However, once I asked for the integration, I could not easily find a way to change it. My biggest hurdle was connecting the Therabody app to the SmartGoggles. Upon pressing the Bluetooth connect bar in the app, nothing happened; it just said retry. So I did, and still nothing happened. I searched for help on the Web and found nothing useful. I saw references to a Theramind app and I wondered if Therabody was the wrong app. But I could not find a Theramind app. So I contacted Therabody support, and they responded the next day, indicating that the Theramind app was within the Therabody app and was accessible once the SmartGoggles were connected to the Therabody app by Bluetooth. Because I had been unable to connect, I contacted Therabody support again, and I received a very thorough response on how to resolve the connection problem. Unfortunately, the procedure still did not work. I found that if I pressed the "Bluetooth connect" bar in the app multiple times, eventually the app searched for my goggles, but wouldn't connect. Finally, I reset my phone and tried again, and I was finally able to connect the app to the goggles. This brought up the Theramind options, which are great, and it was worth the trouble. But I hope this review will inspire Therabody to improve their instructions and help users who might be experiencing difficult connecting the SmartGoggles to Theramind within the Therabody app.

    The Smart Goggles from Therabody have been an amazing addition to my daily routine. They provide a fast and easy experience to gain relief and have really helped me get better sleep. To begin, everything that you need is included in the box: Goggles, USB C Charging cable and Carrying Case. Upon opening, they can be immediately put to use. There are 3 button on the top of the Goggles: Power/Mode, Vibration Intensity, and Heat Intensity. The controls have been pretty intuitive. Hold to Power on, press to cycle between the 3 different modes, and press for higher/lower vibration and heat. Speaking of modes, the 3 built-in ones are Relax, Focus, and Sleep. They each run for 15 minutes and can be customized using the buttons. For further customization, you can use the Therabody app and connect to the Goggles for fine adjustments. In my opinion, the Smart Goggles are exactly what I needed. They truly give me relief and allow me to sleep much better. Because they are so easy to use, I'm more inclined to use these daily. If I had to critique these in any way, it would be that if you are wearing these in a dark room, the red light from the hear rate sensor can get a bit annoying. Overall, I would highly recommend the Smart Goggles and am very happy using them.

    Effective Tension Headache Relief Device

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have had the Therabody Smart Goggles for a little over a week now. The build quality is good and they are comfortable to wear. There is a band that can be adjusted for the correct fit. The goggles integrate with an app that is used to select various modes, such as Smart Relax, Focus, and Sleep. The app will play sound to accompany the heat, vibration, and massage from the Smart Googles. The goggles will measure your heart rate in the Smart Relax mode and adjust vibration to lower your rate and help you relax. Outside of the app, there are buttons on the Smart Goggles for power, and mode selection. The settings can be adjusted for varying levels of heat, vibration, and massage. The googles also come with a nice storage case and a charging cable. The goggles will last a couple of hours on a full charge. With each session lasting about 15 minutes and depending on how much that you use them, the goggles will go several days without having to be recharged. I have used the goggles several times at the end of a long, hard day when I feel a tension headache coming on, and they do work well to relieve tension to prevent the onset of a headache or migraine. I would recommend the Therabody Smart Goggles for people that suffer from tension headaches. The goggles have definitely helped me with tension headache relief.

    When I first removed these goggles from their box my impression was “big and heavy.” I put them on feeling if I added “uncomfortable” I would have them pegged. After fully charging, I experimented with the three operating modes. Again, first impressions were mixed. Trying each Mode, my reactions ranged from my eyes are going be mashed, my face will be burned, I’ll get a worse headache, etc. The next day, ensuring I had the goggles on in a comfortable (important!) position, I tried again with each Mode running a complete cycle. By relaxing my body and opening my mind to the sensations, I liked what I was feeling and lost all concern of danger to my head. On the third day of use, I was a true believer in these goggles. The three Modes are similar in operation, but each provides a variable on the main theme of relief and relaxation. My favorite is Mode 1, which is the one I felt most uncomfortable with in the beginning. After lunch, it is siesta time, and these goggles are now an important part of the routine. After reading a little, I put them on, activate the recliner, fire up Mode 1 (SmartRelax), and close my eyes. The massaging action focusing on eyes, center forehead, and temples lulls me into blissful relaxation, resulting in a restful nap. These Therabody Smart Goggles are a winner in my opinion. Early on, I was thinking that it’s too bad you can’t read or watch TV or a movie while wearing these. Then, while in Mode 1, the answer came to me. It was a “duh” moment. So, if you are having trouble relaxing, even for a few minutes, I’d suggest you run, don’t walk, and get yourself a pair of these goggles. Even if you can relax, these could be an enhancement.

    I wasn’t sure what to expect from this device, but using it feels great, and definitely helps me to relax. Therabody SmartGoggles utilize a combination of vibration, pressure, and heat to stimulate the area around your eyes. It’s a very pleasant experience that feels like a facial massage. There are three preset modes (Sleep, Focus, and "SmartRelax"), which can each be used “as-is,” or customized to your personal preference by adjusting the vibration pattern and warmth level. I’ve mostly been using sleep mode (without any further customizations) at the end of the day to help me wind down before bed, and each time, I'm asleep before the 15-minute routine finishes. I’ve also been trying out the SmartRelax mode, which uses the built-in pulse sensor to sync the vibration pattern to my heart rate. It's also really enjoyable. The device is soft and comfortable to wear, even though it's a bit bulky. The elastic headband does a good job keeping it in place on my head without feeling too tight. The SmartGoggles fold down the middle and fit into their own carrying case, making them fairly portable. I have already brought them along for a work trip. I should note that Therabody calls these “goggles,” but I don’t really get why. The device looks a lot like a VR headset, but it’s best described as a mask. That’s not a bad thing, though. Soft material covering my eyes and blocking out most external light is just what I need when I’m trying to get into relaxation mode. Overall, I really like the Therabody SmartGoggles, and am already using them to fall asleep faster every night.

    Picture this: you're tired from work, you have a tension headache, your face looks like a Van Gogh and yet, you've got trouble falling asleep or reduce your stress level. Therabody's Smart Goggles might be what you need. Before I write more, note that I'm always a bit skeptical of gizmos such as these goggles. Sometimes, they're nothing but novelties. But, every so often, one does what it actually claims to do. I have to admit that the premium packaging of the smart goggles got me a bit excited. The box is gorgeous. This extends to the device itself. It looks a bit like a VR headset and the materials it's made out of are clearly high quality. Once equipped, the smart goggles feel rather well balanced in terms of weight. It took me a minute to adjust the strap that keeps the goggles against you eyes. Note that the unit has a sensor that needs to be firmly pressed against your skin. Make sure not to loosen the strap too much. The smart goggles are rechargeable, which is good as nobody likes to be tethered to a chair or bed or bathtub (yes, I did try that too). The device has 3 settings: smart relax, focus mode and sleep mode. My personal favorite is the smart relax mode which is a mixture of soft massage and pleasant heat. You're probably already are wondering if it works or not, so I'll cut to the chase: it does work. To a certain extent. It does alleviate eye strain rather well. I tend to have tension headaches and it does offer some relief for that as well. As I don't have much trouble falling asleep, I can not confirm that the smart goggles actually help in that department. My guess is that since it offers relaxation, it should also help people who are having trouble finding sleep. There is a companion app which allows to create your own personal profile. The app is not a necessity, you can control the device via the buttons on the top of the goggles. The bottom line is this: These goggles work, but don't expect miracles. They will help you relax and are quite comfortable to wear, but they will not "cure" a migraine on their own. They will however deliver some relief. Frankly, I was positively surprised and I can absolutely recommend these Smart Goggles.

    A little break from the stresses of the day

    I recently came across the Therabody Smart Goggles and decided to give them a try. I’m familiar with other Therabody products, such as percussive massagers, but this is the first product made by them that I’ve owned. The smart goggles come in small packaging. A small protective cover and a usb-c type charger come with them. White is the only color that’s available now, so that protective cover will be important to help keep them clean. Like with all “smart” things, these are designed to work with the Therabody app. After a few minutes, and likely a firmware update, the smart goggles will be connected to your smartphone and you’ll be ready for your first experience. After a little bit with them, I must say I am thoroughly impressed with them. First, they are well built. Second, and more importantly, they do what they say they will. 15 minutes with the smart goggles on and you will feel totally relaxed. As you would guess, smart goggles go on your head and cover your eyes. Once turned on, they can apply a couple different levels of warming/heat, some pulsing/vibrations, and some pressure/massaging to melt away tension and stress. In the app, there are 3 different preset modes: smartrelax, focus, & sleep. There are also many guided sessions/routines that are different variations of the presets. They are also very portable, so you can take them anywhere you would want to enjoy them. My wife and I have both used these pretty regularly in the last week or so since I got them and we’re both enjoying them. My wife has headaches and she’s told me that 15 mins with the smart goggles do help to relieve them. My own use has been more about just taking 15 min breaks from anything else that may be going on in the day and just getting something we all probably need, relaxation. One more specific thing to mention that I have seen everytime I have used them, my heartrate is significantly lower after a 15 minute session than it was prior. You can see this data in the therabody app after a session using their smartsense technology, which utilizes a sensor on the smart goggles to make measurements. There doesn’t appear to be any tracking over time though in the app and I haven’t seen that they write data to other health related apps. The smart goggles are an excellent product and I can see how over time they will have a positive effect on managing stress, tension, & anxiety that we all live with to some degree.

    I have been using these googles for a couple of days now. First, they are super easy to use. I appreciate that they don’t rely on having to download and connect to an app on your phone. It is just 2 buttons which is so nice compared to all of my other electronics. The massage and heat settings are really nice and the length of time it runs seems perfect. It’s super relaxing to use before bedtime or even in the middle of the day when you need to decompress. However, here are my issues with it…. I get headaches and migraines and this makes them SO much worse!!! I thought for sure these would help a lot but it absolutely does not. I don’t know if that would be the case for everyone but that was my experience. Also, they are pretty clunky. The strap on the back doesn’t support the weight of the goggles themselves so it slips down unless you’re laying flat on your back. The massage component then ends up rolling around on the wrong parts of your face. I wish they were less bulky and maybe had an over-the-head strap instead of around the back of the head. Otherwise, as long as I don’t have a headache already, they’re great.
