First off, you are supposed to close your eyes with them, not sure if the reviewer did. 15 seconds is not long enough, you have to settle into them. I love them but NOT for everybody. I did not but them to “relax”, but rather to experience trippy images and they can deliver that in spades if you stay open to it. Also moments of feeling like “flioating”. Yes, other “things” can help accentuate the experience. I also recommend using a stereo mini cable out of the headphone jack and into a suitable headphone amp, then you can control (and increase) the headphone level (and use nice headphones). Also fun to play music with them, guess you won’t get the supposed brain wave effects, but you can still get fleeting trippy images (geometric spinning discs heading at you, demon faces, multiple eyes, crystal palaces, a sense of floating in a cavernous space) to accompany your soundtrack. I’m exaggerating a little, but you can see some weird stuff if you relax into it. May seem cheaply made, but look into making them yourself (I did), and you’ll find you end up spending maybe $10 or $15 less for parts, plus your time to put them together. I have other DIY projects to spend my time on, so I dropped the $40 on these. Fun when I’m in the mood!

Just wanted to say I got a pair of these from cornfield. loved them. they aren’t made the best: start/stop button doesn’t work from first use, so I have to remove the battery and put it in to use it. I’ve only used it twice, but it impressed me very much. I let a co-worker (ex-hippie, used to “tune-in” quite often) borrow these, he loved them and ordered a pair for himself and an old buddy of his. Two thumbs up on the experience, two thumbs down on the build quality. I used them at about 9PM at night, went to bed around 11, had lucid dreaming session for awhile. Lucid dreaming isn’t something that normally happens to me, and thus I’m presuming to be an after-effect from the glasses.

i-doser works very well, be patient with it ,
average people complain about these things very quickly

Yeah, I can confirm about the iDoser – despite the awesome names and descriptions of the various available “doses”, I didn’t feel anything that I didn’t make conscious efforts to imagine feeling. It was all just repetitive noise.

Sounds interesting – might try and give the application Morgan has spoken about a go, to see how it works first …

Well, the science behind it definitely sounds interesting. During my review period I had downloaded an application called iDoser to see if that would be a better trial run than the glasses, but I didn’t feel much from it either. Maybe I just don’t have the attention span to sit still and listen to repetitive noises

Similar products to this have been around for years. A properly functioning pair will make you relaxed and put you in an alpha wave state. These sound cheap and poorly made. Bummer!
