Learn what headphones and speakers we recommend for NuCalm.

We recommend good quality headphones or earbuds to ensure the headphones are delivering the wide range of frequencies in our patented neuroacoustic software. If you are NuCalming in a louder environment, such as an airport or airplane, we recommend over-ear or noise-canceling headphones.Bone conduction headphones which deliver sound through vibrations on your cheekbones instead of through the ear are also acceptable for NuCalm.<h3 id="for-rescue-powernap-flowstate-focus-and-ignite--quality-headphones-required">For Rescue, PowerNap, FlowState, Focus, and Ignite &#x2013; Quality Headphones Required</h3>Best Over-Ear Headphones:<a href="https://electronics.sony.com/audio/headphones/all-headphones/p/wh1000xm5-b">Sony WH-1000XM5 Noise Cancelling Headphones</a><a href="https://www.apple.com/airpods-max/">Apple AirPods Max</a><a href="https://www.bose.com/en_us/products/headphones/noise_cancelling_headphones/noise-cancelling-headphones-700.html#v=noise_cancelling_headphones_700_black">BOSE Noise Cancelling 700</a>Best In-Ear Headphones:<a href="https://usa.1more.com/products/1more-quad-driver-in-ear-headphones">1MORE Quad Driver In-Ear Headphones</a>Best Wireless In-Ear Headphones:<a href="https://www.apple.com/airpods-pro/">Apple AirPods Pro</a>Best Bone Conduction Headphones:<a href="https://shokz.com/products/openrun">Aftershokz - Aeropex Wireless Bone Conduction Open-Ear Headphones</a><h3 id="for-deepsleep-deepestsleep-and-deepestsleep--speaker-required">For DeepSleep, DeepestSleep, and DeepestSleep+ &#x2013; Speaker Required</h3>Best Portable Speakers:<a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09GJZKQ3K/ref=as_li_ss_tl?SubscriptionId=AKIAJO7E5OLQ67NVPFZA&amp;">JBL Flip 6</a><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Bose-SoundLink-Bluetooth-Portable-Waterproof/dp/B099TJGJ91/ref=sr_1_4?crid=2JTFKGQZW5SOK&amp;">BOSE SoundLink</a><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Sony-SRS-XB43-Wireless-Waterproof-BLUETOOTH/dp/B086D1RTCZ/ref=sr_1_4?crid=1WJPRDM5WLBP3&amp;">Sony SRS-XB43</a><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08BCHKY52/ref=as_li_ss_tl?SubscriptionId=AKIAJO7E5OLQ67NVPFZA&amp;">Anker Soundcore 3</a>

Streaks are recorded as consecutive days that you have NuCalm&apos;ed. A session is recorded if the session was greater than 15 minutes long. The last session you just completed won&apos;t be counted on the summary screen showing the streak until you complete your next session. So your streak is actually one more than the number shown.

How does NuCalm measure streaks?

<a href="https://nucalm.com/the-neuroscience">Complex science.</a>The world is filled with countless binaural beat apps and audio products claiming to enhance relaxation and reduce stress, and NuCalm stands alone as the ONLY scientifically validated, patented technology clinically proven to balance the autonomic nervous system consistently and predictably, without medication or side effects. While some binaural beat applications may provide a temporary sense of calm, their effects are often inconsistent and short-lived. In fact, you will notice that after a couple of listens, the binaural beats have no impact on your state of mind. And the reason is simple. Binaural beat is a delivery mechanism. It is the &#x201C;how it presents the brain with a signal,&#x201D; but the key is what signals you are presenting to the brain. For example, when you order a pizza for delivery, you don&#x2019;t eat the pizza delivery boy or girl, you eat the pizza. NuCalm is the pizza, not the delivery.Your brain is complex and is always looking for patterns and shortcuts. Binaural beat apps use simple, static frequencies that your brain quickly figures out. Once your brain identifies the patterns, it develops a tolerance and boredom to the repetitive patterns, rendering them ineffective and useless.NuCalm, on the other hand, leverages cutting-edge neuroscience to deliver unparalleled results. Our neuroacoustic software is the only patented software in the world designed to change your state of mind. How do we do this? NuCalm uses binaural signal processing and isochronic wave forms to present your brain with signals, but the secret sauce is the pitch and frequency matrix and non-linear algorithms inside the software that are dynamic and constantly tricking your mind so it can&#x2019;t figure out the patterns. You will never build any resistance to NuCalm, and it will always do what it&#x2019;s intended to do&#x2026; rapidly slow down your mind into the restorative healing zone of theta within minutes &#x2013; regardless of your initial stress levels.Unlike other products that rely solely on audio entertainment, NuCalm&apos;s groundbreaking biosignaling technology first neutralizes the stress response, creating the optimal conditions for deep relaxation. Then, our proprietary physics guides you into a state of profound restoration and recovery.Backed by over 35 years of research and development, NuCalm&apos;s effectiveness has been demonstrated in numerous clinical studies and real-world applications. From elite athletes and military operators to high-performing executives, thousands of individuals rely on NuCalm daily to achieve peak mental states and unparalleled relaxation.Experience the difference of a true scientific breakthrough. Choose NuCalm and discover what genuine relaxation and optimal performance feel like.

Learn about what kind of music you will be listening to with NuCalm.

NuCalm is not about the music, it&#x2019;s about the science underneath the music. And there is a lot of science. In fact, the patented NuCalm neuroacoustic software tracks are 1 - 3GB. We compose music on top of the science to create a beautiful listening experience for you. Each track is its own brilliant composition, tuned to the Solfeggio frequencies of 432Hz or 528Hz, and layered with environmental sounds and instruments. We want you to enjoy each NuCalm experience, regardless of the outcome you are seeking, from stress management to deep sleep, focus to peak performance.

Learn how NuCalm affects your heart rate and HRV.

Your heart rate should decrease during your NuCalm session and HRV should increase. Please note that while there are a variety of consumer HRV monitors on the market, they do not all reflect the same HRV score and are not all equally effective. Due to certain restrictions, consumer-friendly HRV wearables available on the market today, mainly focus on the simpler forms of HRV analysis and therefore do not always paint a full picture of HRV. Chest straps typically provide the most complete HRV readings.Nonetheless, feel free to track your HRV and heart rate during NuCalm. Whoop, Oura, Apple Watch, Polar, Garmin, and Fitbit are just a few of the trackers that many of our customers use to monitor their vitals during NuCalm.Helpful Blog Posts:<h3 id="data-wearables-or-activity-trackers-how-what-and-why"><a href="https://nucalm.com/article/data-wearables-or-activity-trackers-how-what-and-why">Data Wearables or Activity Trackers: How, What, and Why</a></h3><h3 id="what-is-hrv-and-how-does-it-relate-to-your-autonomic-nervous-system"><a href="https://nucalm.com/article/what-is-hrv-and-how-does-it-relate-to-your-autonomic-nervous-system">What is HRV and how does it relate to your autonomic nervous system?</a></h3><h3 id="heart-rate-variability-a-health-assessment-tool"><a href="https://nucalm.com/article/heart-rate-variability-a-health-assessment-tool/">Heart Rate Variability: a health-assessment tool.</a></h3><a href="https://nucalm.com/article/the-nervous-system-understanding-its-function-and-impact-on-health" id="isPasted">The Nervous System: Understanding its Function and Impact on Health</a>
