The price is a little hefty: the Wave app is $10 per month (you're charged 30 days after your Wave is delivered) and the Wave kit (bolster, headphones, etc.) has a one-time price of $199 plus tax. According to the Wave website, you can't use the app unless you've purchased the kit. Once you buy it though, you can use the app without the bolster if you want; you just wont get the vibrations. That being said, if you're someone like me who's tried guided meditation in the past with or without music and hasn't been able to stick with it, I'd definitely recommend this device.
I see myself using Wave before bed when I'm most overwhelmed and want to wind down; music is an escape from my worries. It also can help me better connect with my emotions and desires. The fact that Wave utilizes music as guided meditation and touches on topics like success, love, relaxation, and control, is comforting in that there's something for everyone on the app, no matter the day. Plus, the added bonus of those vibrations — and sinking into a soft pillow — brought, for me, a further sense of calm that I hadn't experienced with other guided meditations. And I didn't need to say "om" even once!
