The Pitch: The emWave PSR is an affordable, portable biofeedback tool. Made by HeartMath, it is an effective and convenient way to reduce stress, balance emotions, and increase performance. The emWave PSR uses colorful LED displays, audio feedback, and a powerful stress-relief technique to help you relax and increase your feelings of well-being. It features four challenge levels, adjustable brightness, adjustable audio-feedback levels, Advanced user mode, The Coherence Coach CD, and is available in silver or metallic blue.

Pros: Several people have visited FixYa looking for personal biofeedback machines, but have been warned about the high price of equipment. Priced at $199.99, the emWave PSR brings biofeedback to the masses. It’s a pared-down version of the emWave PC, but has a couple parts that the original didn’t – like the ear-pulse sensor and breathing pacer. It’s also just a really cool product that’s both fun and beneficial.

Cons: The PSR doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of the emWave PC, but then it also costs about $100 less. As opposed to the PC’s beautiful representations of your pulse wave and heart rate, the PSR has only a digital display. It also doesn’t have the frequency spectrum summaries, the interactive games, or the ability to review your progress from one session to another that the emWave PC has.

Recommendation: I think that the emWave PSR should move forward to Last Gadget Standing. CES attendees surely experience their fair share of stress (particularly while traveling to the convention!) and the portable PSR should be a hit with gadgetphiles.

All these comments might sound like crazy marketing pawns sent from HeartMath but the emWave is really legit. I totally believe what these people are saying because I've experienced it too on a very powerful level. I've actually been using it for 2 years and had great results. In fact, the only time I really had problems with it is when I wouldn't use it regularly enough. Not only does it help you manage stress, it helps you manage your emotions. Anyone who has problems with stress or anxiety needs to try the emWave. It's the real deal.

There is no other device that could be compared with the PSR

Kaye C

love mine helps with stress

Sonja Montgomery

This is the greatest product on the market. I love everything that the HeartMath Institute offers and the same goes for this gadget. This product helps you monitor your stress level and gives you instant feedback on your current coherence (zone).

Jennifer Weil

Reliable, effective, easily transportable--it is infinitely preferable to cigarettes, drinking, swearing, kicking the cat, and yelling at the kids. It's also fun. And did I say it works? It works.

The emWave is the GREATEST !!!

elizabeth bavor

heart maths' e-mWave PSR is one of the most astonishing devices i have seen. If the people I knew had had one of these in the 60's and 70's they probably wouldn't have died of heart attacks!!!!!!!!!Some were doctors......if they'd only known!!!!!
Technology does get better and simpler for the lay people. Thank you for creating this machine......I don't have one but our office NEEDS one and shall investigate funding to obtain one. Thank you, thank you, thank you

The PSR has been a God sent for me. This past year has been most stressful and during the most intense time I have all the more used this technology to calm and strengthen myself. It really has helped me keep on going.
A side note, my beard had been pure white for some years but the natural color is returning. I have made no major diet or lifestyle changes other than intentional consistent usage of the HeartMath PSR technology which seems to be rejuvenating me. So much for bring a Santa Clause in my retirement years.

Jennifer

What Heartmath has done with the emWave ps4 is revolutionary. My boyfriend and I both suffered from chronic pain and anxiety. Both being on medication for years and still having problems we took a leap of faith and both got one. Needless to say we are both off our medicines, and are experiencing joy that we had not yet experienced in adulthood. If just 10% of the population on earth owned one of these things, a day of peace might not just a dream.

Lea Chan (Singapore)

Being a consistent user of emWave PSR since it's prototype launch, I must say that not only I have benefited from the emotional wellness training the device offers to myself and my fanily, I also assist the school children to better manage their emotional health during their critical growing stage. Hope Heartmath Inc could continue to improve this device, and develop more innovative products ahead.

Melinda Toney

Elegantly simple! This unsuspecting-looking gadget, the emWave PSR provides a practical and very easy access to the user's powerful, intuitive, inner wisdom; a portal to an objective alignment of heart and brain with clarity that has the potential not just of creating health in each individual, but also in quickening a quantum transformation globally! As the emWave PSR places this practical possiblity in the hands of each person, it places this possiblity in the hands of humanity!

karen

love it love it love it!

Jorgan Larrel Sun

Great Product. I have been using mine for about 2 Years and it has changed my life.

Gigi

Hey Sam,
You might want to get one and try it. People are raving about it because fyi…stress is at an all time high and this little device actually IS the best thing I’ve found for helping to alleviate stress. I don’t meditate and probably never will, so for all of you out there like me that want the benefits of shutting off the constant mind noise and a chance to step outside a crazy world for a few minutes the emWave PSR is the technology for this. Whether they won or not I'm glad to see something that’s really new and different getting so much attention. I hope they win!

PAUL

clearly the best invention. much better than the wheel.

I use this device in conjunction of my BRAC (Basic Rest Activity Cycles of the brain) and works very very well.

Dr. d'Alelio

I've used this device myself and have had axious clients use it as well. It is outstanding! Heart Rate Variability is a profoundly useful tool for stress reduction - it even works for PTSD.

Tess

Simply wonderful. It actually works and it has reduced my stress a great deal. I barely get anxiety attacks now days because I can stop them before they get too far with the emwave psr!

Everybody should have one of these in their pockets, especially when society is getting more and more stressful every year. It's a great stress relief device and you don't even have to take pills to calm down all you do is use this little thing that's the size of your palm and use breathing techniques!

emWave gets my vote and it will always stay in my handbag because it's a small miracle in my world!

Charles Lapointe

emWave PSR is very good.

Robin Raff

I love my emWave!

Sam

Hard to believe everyone here finds this gadget the best thing since the wheel ;)

Sam

Do all these comments come from someone affiliated with the manufacturer? lol

Vinny Pinto

Urk! Only after sending, I noticed a couple of major typos in my earlier review (above). Here, then, is a corrected version, and my apologies for the errors in my earlier comment:

As a consulting R&D scientist and as someone who is a mediator and also interested in emotional self-management, I have used a wide variety of health-related and stress-managment related biofeedback devices over the years, including both the emWave PC and the emWave PSR, and I love both of the emWave devices.

While the emWave PSR does not have all of the features of the emWave PC version, it is also much less expensive, and has lots of very usable features. All in all, I feel that the emWave PSR is an excellent tool for reaching levels of greater relaxation, greater inner peacefulness, greater focus and concentration, and much higher levels of effectiveness and efficiency in dealing with the challenges of life. Please note that each of these benefits which I have listed above goes well beyond the minimalist concept of simply managing stress!

Hy,

I have one and use it with great succes. It's a really powerful changing tool ! All the gurus, masters etc. say THE UNIVERSE IS LOVE we are LOVE. Learning to use this device is learning the most powerful meditation - love breath. And since Love is the most powerful force in the unvierse you will live happy - free - young healthy :)

I recomand yo anyone ! because you will have a good feedback to know if you really are Love or you are just vegetating not meditating. :))

Have a great day !!

Bernard

I've been using it for years now. It's compact, comfortable to use and ... it really works!

John Hurbon - Asst Liv Mgr

Stress creeps up unexpectly on the elderly and this device appears to have so many benefits as long as the user is able to understand and be aware of its benefits. Caregivers are known for their stress increasing , especially family to family caregivers, I see alot of potential in marketing this product to assisted living homes throughout Arizona especially Tucson, Az (over 350 home) and outter areas like Benson, AZ.

Keep up the good inventions and helping people emwav.

Ryk Scott

It should be a human's first birthday present. Use it prior to meditation, before and after workouts, before going to work, during work, after work, before bedtime, anytime! Make the time and extend your lifetime!

michael reins

elegant, simple, effective
If you want to reduce your physiological, emotional and mental stress this tool get the job done.

a gadget to use and love

Nicole

The emwave PSR is great for reducing stress. Its portability is a great feature, smaller than a cellphone. I like that you don't need a computer to use it (I work on computers all day, I want to get away from them the rest of the time). It is very easy to use. I can feel it working, it really makes me feel better.

Terry Burgan

Quite simply....IT WORKS!!!!!!!

Ethan

Good for those find it difficult to destress, but it tends to break down far too easily. There have been build quality issues. I've been through 3 units in the last couple of years. Also, once you know how to meditate, this becomes redundant. But, it's good for those who are keen on learning how to centre themselves in a hectic environment.

Judy

Have used mine for both personal use and with my clients for nearly 2 year, remarkable tool for destressing and helping people focus internally.

I met Howard Martin in Miami at a workshop and l just love what Heartmath is doing to further the potential of human awarness and healing.

It is the best!

George

This device is awesome and does everything the maker claims. I have been using mine for about 5 weeks and it has actually changed my heart coherence base line, I am in a higher state of coherence consistently. No matter where you are at it will show you how to raise your consciousness.

George, Clearwater Beach

Katarina Wittich

its the greatest!

Lizbeth Hamlin

Am a psychotherapist and I get my clients to use it on a regular basis....me too! It is a wonderful gadget that has a lot of benefit and ease in use. You can learn to stay in the zone and then apply this resonate knowing even when you are not hooked up. Really straight forward and a complete package for self-care.

Dan

This sounds like an awesome gadget and there are days when i definately wish i had one of these little stress releivers

AnneMaria

I've been using the emWave PSR device since it first came out. I find it extremely easy to use and the benefits are quite powerful. The doctors say my blood pressure is going down and that is awesome!! I use the emWave at least 3 times a day for 5 minutes each time; once in the morning before work, right after lunch and once in the evening. Sometimes more than that on stressful days, but never less that that. It's a smart little gadget that tracks your breathing pace and heart rhythms! How, I don't know, but it works!

John White

Fantastic product! While practical and fun, this device trains the user to take control of mental, emotional and physical functions by opening the heart. I've experienced benefits far beyond their advertisments.

Bobby Joe

Happy to see this gadget getting the recognition it deserves. It's made a profound change in my life. I can't praise it enough!

Linda Mickle

The emkWave PSR is an awesome tool for not only managing but reversing the signs of stress on the body. Being a licensed provicer and having completed the four day training, I'm sold on this method of creating more of how we want life to be.

Paul

Terrific product and price has been lowered since this was posted

DS

The emWave PSR is just the thing for the perfect "time out". You know...that short re-centering, get a grip session that you need before you go bonkers!

Debbie Stock

Easy-to-use, portable, and essential for survival.

Pen

Lauren, I totally agree with you. emWave is the best gadget in my opinion. No cons for me as I much rather stay “in the zone” free from my computer. My best days are always spent outside with Mother Nature. It’s wonderful that we are able to have it all, computers, freedom and a cute little device that keeps me sane!
Breathe, focus..lights..action…the zone!

Freedom is what it’s all about, emWave PSR reminds us how in control we really are, and that just rocks!

Duff

there are a lot of different stress relief devices out there, but the differences are remarkable. the psr is by far the most intuitive. not only in it's display of your immediate coherence but in it's display of your potential coherence.

Jim

These days we all need to manage our stress. This works. Especially in the feelings environment where it counts.

Tammy Jonsson

Awesome de-stressing gadget!! I'm a firm believer...been using it for 2 years.

Simon Karrelli

We're all going to need this come January for CES! This device could win just based on the fact that today's reasons for stress are out of control. I did look up the device and it looks like they've done their research. A practical technology that offers a sound solution to stress. emWave gets my vote.
