What is it?
A multi-mode temple and eye massager from Renpho.
Good points?
With five modes utilising combinations of compression, heat, vibration and music, the massager is designed to help alleviate eye strain without being a one-size fits all product.
This allows you to select a more tailored solution depending on your situation as those with light or sound sensitive migraines, for example, wouldn’t want vibration or music playing.
The gadget has a built-in speaker and two soothing music tracks ready to relax you. Alternatively, this output device can be paired via Bluetooth with an audio source of your choice for a more personal experience.
Designed for functional comfort the unit comprises an adjustable elastic headband, heating pads and visor. An operating temperature range of 40-42C (104-107F) means you can use it almost anywhere.
A rounded visor with mirrored shell gives a sleek futuristic look reminiscent of a virtual reality headset. Each eyepiece has a vision window which allows you to see out and interact with the world, such as watching television or eating as normal.
The device has a usage time of 110 minutes and is charged by a USB-C cable connection, a process that takes three hours to complete.
Bad points?
It can be difficult to adjust the device to fit smaller heads and the padding is not as plump as previous models.
Best for ...
Those who want to stave off the potential effects of blue light, stress, prolonged studying and sleep apnoea on the eyes and surrounding areas.
Avoid if ...
You have a dislike of blood-pressure monitor straps as the inflation technique is very similar in how it operates and feels.
Score: 8/10.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
