Neurable Launches Neurable One Headphones With Built-In EEG and Preorders at $499

The company is selling a self-made wireless headset that passively records brain waves to deliver new focus and brain‑health metrics and could broaden consumer brain monitoring.

Overview

  • Neurable has opened preorders for the Neurable One, a $499 wireless over‑ear headphone that the company now manufactures itself rather than partnering with Master & Dynamic.
  • The headphones embed EEG sensors to give real‑time feedback on focus and anxiety and introduce two company‑defined metrics called “capacity” and “alpha peak frequency.”
  • Neurable says the device can collect passive, long‑term EEG data while you wear it, not just during discrete sessions, and it delivers insights through companion iOS and Android apps.
  • Audio hardware includes 40 mm drivers and active noise cancellation, and Neurable reports roughly 22 hours of battery life that falls to about 12 hours when continuous EEG sensing is active.
  • Independent reporting and past user experience note real‑world limits for at‑home EEGs—signal quality is sensitive to electrode contact and hair coverage—so outputs are probabilistic rather than clinical and performance can vary for tasks like sleep tracking.
