Great hardware, and genuinely helpful customer support

"I ordered several OpenBCI components, and despite a delivery mix-up caused by the carrier, OpenBCI’s team stepped in immediately and helped resolve it. Their communication was fast and clear. The hardware itself arrived in perfect condition and is exactly what I expected: well-built and thoughtfully packaged. What stood out most, though, was the support. They didn’t just send generic replies, they followed through, checked details, and stayed engaged until everything was sorted. That level of customer care makes the difference when you are buying specialized equipment. Overall, excellent experience. I will absolutely be buying from them again!"

"Excellent! Above all expectations, even knowing this specs! We’ve already done away with the standard 1020 model at our lab and moved into gold earbud electrodes bilaterally for global EEG monitoring. Would love to talk more with you guys about my lab’s research with the cyton! That you so much to Connor and team! Heres to the end of dementia and epilepsy! 🍻🍻"

"Hi, we are very happy with our purchase. We are still experimenting and fine tuning the device, but the first tests have gone very well. There are very good impedance values and we are moving very satisfactorily towards our goals. We will tell you more later"
