I WAS CHARGED FULL PRICE FOR A PREVIOUSLY USED SENSATE2
The Sensate2 works well with the App and I am enjoying the meditative experience it provides and hopeful it will assist with my vagus nerve.
The disappointment I am experiencing is with customer service response I am receiving. I was obviously sent a Sensate2 that had been previously used and then returned. I attached pictures of the box it arrived in which was sloppily packed and re sealed. I am a big proponent of recycling, etc but I do not think it is right that I pay full price for an already used item so I asked for a partial refund which I believe is fair. In all of the communications back to me non of the customer service representatives have directly addressed this request.

Hi Jean, thank you for your review. We are glad to hear you are enjoying the meditative experience with Sensate, but we are sorry to hear about the frustration regarding your box.
We would love to clarify that our team did reach out to you previously regarding this issue. As mentioned in our email, we experienced a batch of outer shipping boxes that did not meet our standard, but we want to reassure you that your device itself is brand new and untouched.
In that same message, we offered to arrange a full return for a refund or a complete replacement to make this right, and we are still waiting for your confirmation on how you'd prefer to proceed.
Please check your inbox (and spam folder, just in case) or reply directly to us at [email protected] with your order details so we can assist you with the replacement or return right away. We are here and ready to help! 🧡

No paper “How to” included. Not all customers use the phone,etc. to read.
That was my first turn off”

Hi there, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We completely understand that preferring a printed, physical guide is a common preference, and we are sorry to hear that this was a frustrating start to your experience.
In our efforts to be more environmentally friendly and because our app and features receive regular updates, we decided to host our user guides digitally. However, we want to make sure you have everything you need to feel comfortable using your device!
Please send an email to [email protected], and our team will be more than happy to email you a downloadable, printer-friendly PDF version of our full 'How To' guide so you can print it out and have it on hand.
We hope this helps, and we're here if you need any further assistance! 🧡

Hi Donald, thank you for sharing your honest experience with us. We are sorry to hear that you haven't noticed the improvements you were hoping for after 3 weeks of use.
Regulating and calming the nervous system is a journey that looks different for everyone. While many users feel a shift right away, for others, the benefits build up more subtly over time as the vagus nerve is consistently toned. Sometimes, simply adjusting the vibration intensity, trying different soundscapes, or changing the time of day you session can make a big difference.
We want to make sure you get the most out of your device. Please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] so our team can share some personalized tips and guide you on how to best incorporate Sensate into your routine. We are here to support you! 🧡

Overall very worthwhile
I have had good experiences with customer service. There are occasionally problems connecting but some tips are these which always work for me:
Put the device very close to the phone
If no connection, I connect my ear buds. This usually works to click on the connection for some reason.
Switch Bluetooth off and on again.
Some soundscapes make clicking noises so I can’t use them, Sensate say this is a software glitch and a fix will arrive soon. This was ages ago.
Also with Sensate Plus you’re supposed to get regular new soundscapes but again I don’t think there’s been one for a long time.
Having said this I still like it very much and use it daily sometimes a few times.

Delivery process was very good. Unit works well and helps to relax. But I think for that (high) price Sensate should offer more included music which you actually only get when taking an abo. That is a little bit poor.
Reply from Sensate2026-06-30
Hi Reintraut, thank you so much for your honest and detailed review!
We are glad to hear that your delivery process went smoothly and that your Sensate is working well to help you relax—that is always our main goal.
We completely understand your feedback regarding the price and the selection of included tracks. We put a lot of care, science, and production value into composing our specialized soundscapes, which is why the full library is part of the subscription. However, we truly value your perspective, and we are constantly working to expand and improve what we offer to our community.
Thank you again for your valuable feedback, and we wish you many more relaxing sessions ahead! 🧡

Appears to reduce severe, chronic, hyperarousal from PTSD.
Using the device is extremely relaxing. After consistent, daily use over several weeks I have noticed a drop in my baseline chronic hyperarousal which stems from a 30 year old first-responder violent trauma. I didn't expect a miracle, overnight cure. I have experienced enough of a benefit from relatively short-term practice that I am committed to making Sensate part of my daily regime. I use it along with somatic therapy, Stoicism, and yoga. I believe it is working and am grateful to have found this device.
Reply from Sensate2026-06-30
Hello Andy,
Thank you so very much for sharing your deeply moving journey with us. We are incredibly honored and humbled to know that Sensate is providing real, noticeable relief for your chronic hyperarousal after so many years of carrying the weight of first-responder trauma.
Your commitment to your wellness—combining Sensate with somatic therapy, Stoicism, and yoga—is truly inspiring. Toning the vagus nerve is a gradual practice, and your dedication to making it a daily regime is exactly how long-term resilience is built.
Thank you for your service, for your profound trust in our device, and for sharing your story. It means the world to our entire team. We are honored to walk alongside you on your path to healing and peace. 🧡

Bought 2 devices at the same time. One working one was not while I got it. Email them few times. Only took about a week for them to get back and suggested exchange. And requested us to show them email. I already bought another brand from Zeno well. Cheaper. Better result. Not recommend. Sometimes it’s not about the compensation. It’s client time and effort. It was disappointed to receive defeat item. I don’t need u to compensate I have supporting other brands already.
Reply from Sensate2026-06-30
Hi Constsnce,
Thank you for your candid feedback, and we are sincerely sorry for the incredibly disappointing experience you had with us. You are completely right—it is not about compensation, it is about respecting your time and effort, and we deeply apologize for both the defective device and the unacceptable delay in our response time.
Receiving a faulty item right out of the box is frustrating enough, and waiting a week for a reply only made it worse. This is definitely not the standard of service we strive to provide, and we are sharing your experience directly with our internal and quality control teams to ensure we improve.
While we are sad to lose you as a customer, we respect that you have found a solution that works better for you. We truly wish you the best on your wellness journey and thank you for taking the time to help us see where we failed.
Warmly,

Easy to set up; immediately lowered my blood pressure
Everything "worked smoothly and easily" right out of the box, including the app setup. Usually this is a dealbreaker for me - if it doesn't "work" easily, I move on to the next fire!
I've used it 3 days in a row so far, and saw an immediate lowering of my blood pressure - by 15-20 points on the top number. I'll be watching to see if that lower trendline continues, but I'm very happy if that is a result.
Reply from Sensate2026-06-30
Hi Debbie, thank you so much for this incredible review!
We love hearing that the setup was completely smooth and hassle-free right out of the box—we know how valuable your time is, and we're so glad we passed the test!
Seeing such a positive shift in your blood pressure numbers after just three days of consistent use is absolutely amazing. Toning the vagus nerve is excellent for activating the body's natural relaxation response, and we are so excited to see how this positive trend continues for you over time.
Thank you for making Sensate a part of your daily routine, and happy relaxing! 🧡

Poor quality levels
Whilst the device itself is good, its durability is very poor. Mine has broken twice, it simply stops working after a few months. The first time Sensate replaced it, the second they offered me a discount off a new one. The first lasted 6 months and the second a little longer but thr second time I was only offered a discount off a new one. It’s not good enough for an expensive device so although I liked the e device the quality and customer service won’t allow me to buy another.
Reply from Sensate2026-06-30
Hi Katie,
Thank you for sharing your honest feedback, and we are truly sorry to hear about your experience. We completely agree with you—an expensive, premium device should absolutely last longer than a few months, and it is incredibly frustrating to have it stop working twice.
While we are glad you enjoyed the effects of the device itself, we deeply apologize that our durability and our resolution the second time around did not live up to your expectations. This is definitely not the experience we want for our users, and we take your feedback about the hardware's lifespan very seriously.
We are sharing your review directly with our product design and quality control teams to ensure we make the necessary improvements. Thank you for giving Sensate a chance, and we genuinely wish you the very best on your wellness journey.
Warmly,

Hi Leonard, thank you so much for your review and for sharing your experience with us!
We are absolutely thrilled to hear that, overall, you are very happy with your Sensate so far. Regarding those couple of connection hiccups with your iPhone, sometimes a simple trick does wonders! Next time it happens, just make sure your phone's Bluetooth is turned on, and try turning the Sensate device off and on again right before opening the app—usually, they pair up instantly.
If you ever need any technical help or if those connection issues persist, please don't hesitate to give us a shout at [email protected]. We are always here to help you have the smoothest experience possible! 🧡

It doesn’t connect to my iPad or my iPhone so does not work
Reply from Sensate2026-06-30
Hi there,
We are sincerely sorry for the frustration! Your Sensate should absolutely connect smoothly to both your iPhone and iPad, and we want to help you fix this right away.
Usually, this can be solved with two quick steps:
👉🏻Make sure Bluetooth permissions are enabled specifically for the Sensate app in your device's settings.
👉🏻Turn your Sensate off, close the app, turn the device back on, and then reopen the app to let them pair automatically.
If it still won't connect, please reach out to us directly at [email protected] so our team can help you step-by-step. We are here for you! 🧡
