This really works!
I bought Cove as a skeptic, having tried many medications, herbs, supplements and lifestyle changes over the course of over a decade to alleviate my anxiety and sleep issues. It's expensive but a worthwhile investment. i noticed improvements within the first week of using this. My mind is calmer, I feel a general sense of equilibrium, and sleep is better too. The device can be tricky to use in the beginning but once you get the hang of it (which doesn't take that long), this can be a godsend! Initially, I couldn't feel the vibrations and even turned it to a high level of 8 or 9. But the app says that more is not necessarily better (in fact gentler is better... kinda like a barely there sort of feeling), so now I do it at a 3, and 4 at times when the surrounding environment is not so quiet. Although Cove can be worn while doing regular activities, I prefer to use it when I'm seated at my desk and not doing any other physical activity just so I'm able to feel the taps at a vibration level of 3. If you have an anxious mind, that might prove more effective than using it while you brush your teeth or do the dishes. Essentially, it facilitates a better condition for it to work more effectively. It's been just over two weeks of using it and I can say I'm pretty impressed! Thank you, Cove!

Not ready for Prime Time
I loved the idea of Cove and read a very positive review in Bloomberg Business Week. Unfortunately I was very disappointed. I felt like a beta tester. I have returned the product for a refund.The software is buggy. When I finally decided to send it back, I could not pair my phone with the Cove. It seemed "stuck".. I tried several suggestions from Cove's Customer Care group which did not resolve the problem.Supposedly, you can use the headset without connection to the phone. I could never succeeded in doing so, though I followed the instructions.The headset is not very comfortable, and I only used it when I was in bed or watching tv. In theory, you can use it while active, but I was concerned that it would fall off, and even if I moved a little, I could no longer feel the vibrations.The company asked if I would discuss my experience with them. I told them I would. I have not received a call.

Fantastic device for less stress, improved mood, and better sleep!
I love my Cove! In a nutshell, it's relaxing... and if you're someone who suffers from stress or depression (like I do), healthy relaxation is truly priceless. I have tried all variety of ways to improve my energy and mood, ranging from prescription medication to vitamins to Accupuncture and yoga. And I've also tried ways that are less healthy, like drinking alcohol... but if you're a fellow stress-case, you know how frustrating the wellness journey can be. What's awesome about Cove is that it's 100% healthy, easy to use (and re-use), and it makes me feel more "zen" in the space of ten minutes or less. I use it at least twice a day because it's easy to put on when I'm working at my desk, watching TV, or cooking, etc. I've also worn it while doing gentle yoga and that was really beneficial... which is to say, it works any time but even better when combined with a mindfulness practice. Initially, it takes a little experimentation to fit it to your head and adjust the intensity settings to optimize the "good vibe" feeling that it gives you... but that's about it in terms of a learning curve. I sometimes use it without the app, but I do prefer using the app to track how often I use it and what times of day seem to work best. For example, I have found that multiple daytime sessions are more beneficial for my sleep than a session right before bed (probably because it keeps my overall stress levels from building up over the course of the day..?) Whatever the reason, I'm super-grateful to have discovered a tool that helps me feel better. I really hate taking medication for sleep and/or depression and Cove gives me hope that I can stay on track without pills that affect my brain chemistry. Thanks, Cove!

Not worth it
After months of use I notice no improvement the quality of my sleep. My deep sleep did not improved. And the quality of the device isn’t great either. It would stop working mid session, or take a long time to start, and now one side is making a weird clicking noise. Not worth the price

Not the best for long haul issues
I really like the idea of this device. The vibrations themselves are soothing. But because I purchased this to help with long haul covid issues (which stem, to my understanding, at issues with nervous system regulation), I didn’t consider the fact that one of my symptoms is scalp pain. And when I’m experiencing the scalp pain, the location of this device can be somewhat aggravating. In addition, I had a hard time getting it to rest comfortably behind my ears. It had a tendency to move off of my left ear in particular. I’m not sure if it’s not as suited to certain head/ear shapes.I did find the vibrations to be comforting, but it was offset by the discomfort of the pressure on my head (aggravated by long haul scalp pain and proclivity to headaches).Another issue was that, for a product like this; I would like to use it more than 2x a day. One charge lasts about 4 sessions, so it requires frequent recharging if you want to use it more regularly. And also, using it more regularly, I felt more discomfort from the pressure on my head/ears. So not an ideal device for frequent use.I only ended up using it a few days before deciding to return. I really like the idea, and I did enjoy the sensation of the vibration, but it wasn’t well-suited for my needs at this time.
